Investigation of Tunisian Geography Teachers

Examination of Tunisian Geography Teachers Presentation The reason for this examination was to explore some Tunisian topography educators/scientists perusing of exploration articles (RA) in English in their field, specifically their utilization of metadiscourse and the components that may influence this utilization. A mix of quantitative and subjective techniques tended to the reasons for this investigation. Two significant reasons have spurred the decision of this theme: hypothetical and relevant. Hypothetical Justifications Of The Study A decent number of studies have featured the facilitative job that metadiscourse plays in understanding appreciation (for example Camiciottoli, 2003). Metadiscourse is characterized, in the current investigation, as â€Å"self-intelligent etymological material alluding to the developing content and to the author and to the envisioned peruser of that text (Hyland and Tse, 2004, p. 156). In characterizing understanding appreciation, I embraced the componential intuitive methodology (for example Grabe, 2008). As indicated by this methodology, perusers are dynamic members who effectively take information, interface it to recently acclimatized information and make it theirs by building their own translation. They create, alter and even ponder all or a portion of the thoughts showed in the content. Examination has indicated that subsequent language (SL) and unknown dialect (FL) perusing understanding procedure is exceptionally unpredictable (Grabe, 2008; Koda, 2007; Sheng, 2000). For sure, a wide scope of factors intercede all the while: semantic, metalinguistic, intellectual, metacognitive, social and mental (Koda, 2005; Pressley, 2006; Rapp et al., 2007). Scientists revealed the trouble to obviously comprehend the specific level of the commitment of every factor to the last item. All parts of the peruser factors connect with each other and cooperate with literary and logical variables (for example Dhieb-Henia, 2003). Various models have been proposed in the writing so as to assess these elements (the Top-down methodology, the Bottom-up approach, the Interactive methodology) (Grabe, 2008). Additionally, there has been a discussion among SL perusing analysts about whether SL perusing is a language issue or an understanding issue (Alderson, 1984, Bernhardt and Kamil, 1995; Grabe, 1991; Khaldieh, 2001). A few specialists battled that some SL phonetic information limit was important so as to get first language (L1) perusing information to connect with and first language perusing systems to move (Cummins (1979) edge level of language capability and Clarkes (1978) semantic roof). Others contended that perusing troubles in a SL can be brought about by an inadequate perusing capacity by and large, or can be brought about by a bombing move of L1 perusing capacity to a FL (the phonetic association speculation, or on the other hand called the basic fundamental guideline (Bernhardt Kamil, 1995). Perusing in English for Academic purposes (EAP) is as yet an increasingly intricate procedure (Flowerdew and Peacock, 2001). EAP is worried about the English required for explicit scholarly reason, for example, learning at colleges and schools, doing research or distributing papers. In light of the writing, the current examination sees EAP perusing as the capacity to peruse an EAP talk as the result of a specific disciplinary culture (e.g., Swales, 2004). Daoud (1991, p. 6), for example, suggested that non-local perusers (of EAP) ought to procure â€Å"those capacities which would permit them to perceive the presence of particular kinds of understood presuppositional logical data, capacities that the accomplished local peruser has. Studies in Contrastive Rhetoric (CR) have exhibited that writings are formed by their social beginnings regardless of whether they take an interest in universal talks, for example, those of the science disciplines (Burgess, 2002; Connor, 2004; Kaplan, 196 6, 1987). Mauranen (1993) stated that â€Å"science, or all the more broadly, scholastic examination, doesn't exist outside composition, thus we can't speak to it, or acknowledge it, without being impacted by the variety in the composing societies that convey it† (p. 4). This proposes the conviction that logical scholastic talks only transmit normal realities is far from being obviously true. Hyland (2005) contended that talks are rarely nonpartisan however consistently occupied with that they understand the interests, the positions, the points of view and the estimations of the individuals who establish them (p. 4). The RA, for example, is a talk composed by a specific author having a place with a specific logical talk network in the motivation behind drawing in a crowd of people and convincing them of his/her discoveries (Adel, 2006; Hyland, 2005; Martin, 2004). Webber (1994) clarified â€Å"scientists are essayists who battle for their plans to be acknowledged, perceived, and to be serious and get their work published† (p. 257). The inclination of logical essayists to pick a specific scope of expository gadgets, may uncover their endeavors to build up relational relations, to collaborate with their crowd and to communicate individual mental ities about the substance of their writings and about their audience(s). Metadiscourse is the semantic framework that empowers authors to accomplish these objectives (Adel, 2006; Hyland, 2004; 2005; Martin, 2004). It speaks to some inner expressive guide whereby an outer the truth is made and passed on. Metadiscourse additionally assists with seeing talk as a social activity between two gatherings, author(s) and crowd, specialists and established researchers; as it were, journalists and perusers are seen as social operators and messages as a social venture in which essayists don't just need their messages to be comprehended (an illocutionary impact), yet in addition to be acknowledged (a perlocutionary impact) (Hyland, 2005). Hyland (2001, p. 550) contends â€Å"a focal part of the author peruser exchange includes cautious relational arrangements in which scholars look to adjust claims for the importance, innovation, and truth of their neutralize the feelings of their readers†. The perusers capacity to develop the author expected importance, throug h metadiscourse, is one significant key to a fruitful perception. This thought of communication was grounded in Hallidays (1985) metafunctional hypothesis of language. Halliday (1985) contended that language is an arrangement of implications and keeps up that the essayist needs to work at three levels: the ideational, the printed and the relational. On the ideational plane, the essayist supplies data about the subject of the content and grows propositional content, on the intuitive plane, he/she doesn't include propositional material, however enables perusers to sort out, order, decipher, assess, and respond to such material. Numerous analysts have endeavored to explore the commitments of metadiscourse to language instructing. Be that as it may, the vast majority of the writing on metadiscourse has concentrated on the composing ability. The enormous piece of these investigations has looked at essayists utilization of metadiscourse across societies and orders (Dahl, 2004; Hyland TLe, 2004; Ifantidou, 2005; Lee, 2002; Perez Macia, 2002; Steffensen Cheng, 1996). Just a couple of studies have analyzed the job that this significant piece of talk plays in perusing understanding aptitude. There is as yet a misty image of the connection between's the acknowledgment of metadiscourse markers and perusing appreciation execution. For sure, a decent number of the examinations led with local perusers of English has yielded uncertain outcomes (e.g., Crismore and Vande Kopple, 1997; OKeefe, 1988). While a few analysts exhibited the positive job of metadiscourse (for example Vande Kopple, 2002), different analysts inferred that metadiscourse didn't have bigger impacts in their investigations (e.g., Crismore, 1989). Exploration on the association between SL perusing and metadiscourse is by all accounts still in its early stages. The little exploration completed has shown the multifaceted nature of the entreprise (Camiciottoli, 2003; Daoud, 1991; Dhieb-Henia, 2003; Mustapha and Premalatha, 2001). Truth be told, research has demonstrated that numerous variables could mediate in the understanding procedure and hamper EAP perusers from utilizing metadiscourse, in particular language capability, earlier disciplinary information and metacognitive systems (e.g., Camiciottoli, 2003; Daoud, 1991; Dhieb-Henia, 2003). Language capability alludes to the capacity to get specialized and semi-specialized language utilized by a specific scholarly talk network. Metacognition is the mindfulness perusers have of their own psychological procedures and the ensuing capacity to screen, control, and direct themselves to an ideal end. Earlier information incorporates information on the explanatory shows of the class and the subject order. It has been likewise intriguing to take note of that no examination has explored SL specialists utilization of metadiscourse when perusing materials in their fields. Neighborhood Justifications Of The Study Perusing RAs is an essential for doing investigate, refreshing ones information and at last distributing RAs. Distribution isn't discretionary or a matter of individual decision in Tunisia. The last change of postgraduate investigations has given earlier significance to the quantity of distributed RAs (Labbassi, 2000). Along these lines, specialists who might want to get noticeable in the universal academic network, need to peruse and compose RAs in English, the global Lingua Frinca in the time of electronic correspondence. Truth be told, in Tunisia there are hardly any specific nearby diaries. Labassi (2008, p. 4120 appropriately put â€Å"reading and composing English have become unavoidable conditions for joining scholarly networks in practically all disciplines†. The Tunisian land society is by all accounts anxious to incorporate into the global geographic network. Undoubtedly, the Tunisian Geographers Association, as a team with the International Geographical Union (IGU), figured out how to sort out the 31st International Geographical Congress (IGC) in the nation in 2008. Tunisia was the principal Arab and African nation to have the greatest appointmen

How To Transition Out Of Summer and Back To School

How To Transition Out Of Summer and Back To School There are few things more challenging than transitioning out of a summer schedule and back to school. No matter how slow or busy your summer was or how long you’ve been teaching, it takes time to adjust. TeacherVision advisory board member, Mikaela, shares her tips for adjusting as smoothly as possible. by Mikaela Prego Change is always hard. Whether it’s your first year of teaching or your 50th, I think the transition from summer schedules back to the school day is always tough, and a little bit nerve wracking. But like with any transition, there are things you can do to make it go more smoothly. Here are a few tips and tricks I’ve collected to help make sure that when the school year comes you are ready to physically and mentally tackle it.   Tip #1: Prep routines and procedures before heading back Every year I start off with a fresh notebook, and on the first page of that notebook are  my brainstorms for systems and routines. This practice of designing my procedures helps me feel prepared and organized for the first few weeks back to school. It also gives me insight into how I should set up my classroom or remind me which changes I wanted to make from the previous year. You can also use these procedures to inform your plans for the first weeks of school too. If the idea of planning is a little daunting, break this process up over a few days; find a beautiful place to sit and get yourself some tea or coffee. Tip #2: Do something that you can only do in summer everyday before you head back (go to the beach, read, drink coffee on the porch) I spend the summers working at a nature camp on an island and my absolute favorite thing to do is go swimming in the ocean. You can even find me out there when it’s raining, I just don’t want to miss a second of it because ocean swims aren’t something I can do during the year. So, as the summer draws to a close, make sure you’re making time for your vacation or summer go-tos. Whether it’s spending time with family, finishing the reading you wanted to over the summer or going to cafes to sit and watch people walk by, just make time for it. This will help you recharge for the school year.   Our summer bucket list is full of suggestions for getting the most out of your summer.   Tip #3 Create your Must Dos and May Dos This is actually a list technique that I learned through TeacherVision called  the must dos and may dos lists. I think creating these two separate categories helps you lay out what you want to do, and then you can decide what you need to prepare before the start of the school year and then what you can do to  prepare. To me, it makes the intimidating task of the beginning of the year more manageable. It also helps you make sure you are still giving yourself time to be on summer vacation. Tip #4: Pick out your back to school outfit Growing up, I remember that my favorite thing about going back to school was buying my school supplies and picking out my first day of school outfit. It was special and exciting. I think we should bring that same joy to our first day of school too. Investing in a new outfit or picking out something that makes you feel good can give you that little energy boost to take on the first week of school. It’s a small thing, but can help you feel confident and ready to go. Tip#5: Set your SMART goals; personal and professional Of course the calendar year begins in January and with that we set out resolutions. However, I really think of my year as beginning at the end of August. I find that it’s a perfect time to reset or commit to goals, both professional and personal. I like to use the SMART goal framework, but of course you can use any kind of goal setting that is comfortable to you. I think it’s really important to set goals for yourself as a teacher, but also as a person. It’s a reminder that, while we are teachers, it’s not our whole identity. Jumpstart your goal setting with helpful tips and suggestions in How To Turn Teaching Goals Into Teaching Habits.   How do you transition back to school? Share with us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. Mikaela Prego is an elementary educator from Massachusetts. She spent the last 3 years teaching 4th grade in Colorado, now she is back teaching in Massachusetts. Her favorite subjects to teach are math, science and social studies and she is a huge fan of putting the students in charge of as much of their learning as possible.

Racism in Huck Finn Essay example - 3609 Words

Racism in Huck Finn Kids are often exposed to books long before they are ready for them or exposed to them in a manner that seems almost calculated to evaporate whatever enthusiasm the student may bring to them. Very few youngsters of high school age are ready for The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Leaving aside its subtle depiction of racial attitudes and its complex view of American society, the book is written in a language that will seem baroque, obscure and antiquated to many young people today. The vastly sunnier Tom Sawyer is a book for kids, but The Adventures for Huckleberry Finn most emphatically is not. (Baker 114) The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has been considered one of Mark Twains best works. Huckleberry Finn, Jim†¦show more content†¦And even after he has decided to help free Jim, Huck indicates that he still does not see black people overall as human beings. When Aunt Sally asks Tom Sawyer why he was so late in arriving, he tells her the ship blew a cylinder head. â€Å"Good gracious! Anybody hurt?† she asks. â€Å"No’m. Killed a nigger.† â€Å"Well, it’s lucky; because sometimes people do get hurt,† she responds (Telgen 9). As some critics have pointed out, Huck never condemns slavery or racial prejudice in general, but he seems to find an exception to the rule in Jim. Nevertheless, the fact that Huck does learn to see beyond racial stereotypes in the case of Jim is a profound development, considering his upbringing. He lived in a household with the Widow Douglas and Miss Watson where slaves were owned. And Pap’s ranting over a free black man indicates his deep racial prejudice. When confronted with the fact that a free black man was highly educated and could vote, Pap decides he wants nothing to do with a government that has allowed this to happen. He wants the free man, whom he calls â€Å"a prowling, thieving, infernal, white-shirted free nigger† to be sold at auction (Telgen 9).

Question: How Patient Experience Can Be Used For Enhancing Patient Safety And Satisfaction Level. Answer: Literature review According to Mehta (2015), quality of the services offered in the Healthcare setting determines the satisfaction level of the patients. Satisfaction level of the patients determines the chances of success and growth of the healthcare setting. Healthcare organizations are facing issues due to the change in the expectations of the patients, introduction of the advanced technology and aging population. Healthcare organizations are focusing on enhancing the quality of the services offered to the service users. Quality and safety have become a prominent part of the life of every individual. It is difficult to define the term quality in relation to the healthcare sector. Quality standards cannot be set in the healthcare sector as the services are intangible. This aspect has affected the measurement process of the quality of the healthcare service provided to the patient. Safety concerns are increasing among the healthcare settings as it has been identified that there has been a rise in the number of cases of infection due to the lack of proper safety or cleanliness in the premises of the hospitals (Berkowitz, 2016). Patient satisfaction level is the indicator of the quality of the services which are being offered by the healthcare organization. Priority of the healthcare organization is on ensuring the good health of the patients by providing safe and quality healthcare services to them. Healthcare organizations can enhance the satisfaction level of the patients by identifying the factors affecting the quality of health. Performance of the hospital can be measured on the basis of the experience of the patients. Quality of the health care services and satisfaction level of patients are positively related with each other. Hospitals are using various strategies and techniques for the analysis of the safety, quality and satisfaction level of the patients. Lack of proper staffing in the healthcare organization affects the satisfaction level of the patients (Al-Abri Al-Balushi, 2014). According to Raivio, et. al. (2014), there are various factors which are creating an impact on the satisfaction level of the patients. These factors include bad experience gained by the patient at the front desk, long waiting time, lack of proper equipment, lack of practices of managing diversity, lack of proper communication between doctors and patients, low-quality services, lack of safety, lack of cleanliness and unattractive practices. Service quality directly creates an impact on the health and well-being of the individual. Front desk staff of the healthcare organization should deal with the patients and their families in an effective manner. Bad experience at the front desk affects the satisfaction level of the patients. Experience gained by the individual determines the preference of the patients. Frustration among the patients increases when they face issues in navigating the hospital, they have to wait for getting treated and lack of proper communication. All these factors increase the dissatisfaction level among the patients by giving them a bad experience. Chances of success and growth of the hospital are dependent on the satisfaction level and experience gained by the patient. Satisfaction level of the patients determines the quality of the services which are provided by the healthcare organization to its customers (Xesfingi Vozikis, 2016). The environment of the healthcare organization is another important element which contributes towards the satisfaction level of the patient. Satisfaction level of the patients and safety is the main goal of every healthcare organization for which it is operating. Four criteria can be considered for analyzing the satisfaction level, safety, and experience ga ined by the patient. It includes quality, efficiency, equity and acceptability (Mosadeghrad, 2014). The expectation of every patient differs which affects the experience gained by them. Cost of the service along with its quality is important. Continuous improvement in the quality of the services and safety within reasonable price is an important aspect which must be considered by every healthcare organization for providing a quality experience to the patients. Satisfaction is needed as it generates loyalty among the patients which forms a base for the success and growth of the business (Naidu, 2016). A situation of dissatisfaction among the patients arises when the services offered by the healthcare professionals is below the expectation level of the patient. Different factors need to be considered by the healthcare professionals for providing satisfied services to the patients and these factors include quality of the service, cost of the service, availability of medicines, availability of doctors, comfort level, infrastructure of the hospital, behaviour of the healthcare professio nals towards the patients and emotional support (Farzianpour, et. al., 2015). In the words of Werder (2015), the technology used in the healthcare organization creates an impact on the satisfaction level, safety, and experience of the patients. This experience has been divided into four categories and the first category is the quality of the service, communication, and safety, the second category is technology and tools used, the third category is technology as an enabler and fourth category is electronic health record and access to the records. Technology provides various benefits to the healthcare organization by meeting the expectations of the patients. Patient satisfaction level is a tool for the attainment of the goals of the hospital which can be achieved with the fulfillment of expectations of the patients. For the purpose of satisfying the patients, Healthcare setting needs to focus on the quality of the services offered. There are different ways available which can be used by the Healthcare organization for enhancing safety and satisfaction level of the patients for providing them a quality experience. These ways include providing personalised attention and accountability, transparency, enhancing the quality of the services offered, setting up call centres for collecting feedbacks related to issues faced by patients, spending time on the patient education, enhancing the atmosphere of the hospital, focusing on cleanliness of the hospital, implementation of policies and practices for eliminating discriminatory practices and managing diversity (Kennedy, et. al., 2014). Recommendations A major concern of the Healthcare organizations is decreasing satisfaction and lack of proper security measures which are creating an impact on the experience of the patients. These healthcare organizations are focusing on identification of the measures or strategies which will help in providing a quality experience to the patients. These strategies which are recommended to healthcare organizations for enhancing the experience of the patients are discussed as follows: Personalised attention and accountability: healthcare professionals working in the healthcare organizations should pay personal attention to the patients for meeting their expectations and needs. It will help in enhancing the quality of health of the service user. Healthcare professional must take responsibility towards the patients and must listen to the patient with patience. The healthy relationship needs to be established with the patients for making the comfortable. Communication should be made clear for making the patients understand the aspects discussed and patient centered care approach need to be adopted for providing better services. Healthcare professionals should be available in the rotation for ensuring the health of the patients (LaVela Gallan, 2014). Transparency: transparency needs to be maintained in the healthcare setting for gaining the trust of the patients. Hospitals need to ensure that fair practices are being followed within the organization. Healthcare professional must ensure that patients are aware of every aspect related to their health and which is a part of its treatment. Every patient must be considered equal and equal treatment should be provided. Enhancing the quality of the services offered: the focus of the healthcare organization should be on enhancing the quality of the services offered. It is the most important aspect which affects the health of the individual. For enhancing the quality of the services offered, focus on the healthcare professionals should be on providing attention to the needs of the patients and encouraging equal treatment to every patient for ensuring that every patient is satisfied with the quality of the healthcare services provided by the organization (Ali Ahmed, 2010). Setting up call centers for collecting feedbacks related to issues faced by patients: for listening to the issues or complaints of the patients, a separate department needs to be established where patients can lodge their complaints. These complaints and issues must be given importance and focus should be on eliminating the aspects affecting the quality of the services and delivery of the services on time. Feedback forms should be provided to the patients for collecting immediate feedbacks from the patients. Spending time on the patient education: healthcare professionals need to avoid being in a rush while providing healthcare services to the patients. Patients are sometimes unsure and confused and it is the responsibility of the healthcare profession to clear the doubts of the service user. Healthcare professional must educate the patient and provide a summary of the discussion for ensuring that proper understanding is developed (Farley, et. al., 2014). Focusing on the cleanliness of the hospital: It has been analyzed that patients develop infections due to the lack of cleanliness in the hospital. Quality of the hospital is an indicator with the help of cleanliness of the premises of the hospital. These cases of infection developing at the premises of hospital can be eliminated with the help of proper cleanliness. Enhancing the atmosphere of the hospital: a hospital is a place where patients feel relaxed and away from noises. Hospitals should maintain a less noisy, harsh free and clean environment for the patients. This can be done with the help of use of effective equipment at the atmosphere of the hospital (Billingsley, 2015). Implementation of policies and practices for eliminating discriminatory practices: discriminatory practices can affect the quality of health of the patients. Hospitals need to implement effective policies and practices which will help in eliminating discriminatory practices. Every patient must be provided equal attention for enhancing the experience of the patient. A check needs to be kept by themanagement for ensuring that staff of the hospital is complying with policies and practices formulated for eliminating discriminatory practices. These policies and practices will ensure the safety of the patients (stman, et. al., 2015). Managing diversity: patients of the hospital are from different cultures, background, age, gender, caste, and race. These aspects must be considered by the hospital so as to ensure that quality healthcare services are being offered to the patients. The language barrier may affect the quality of the healthcare services. For the purpose of communicating with the patients from a different culture, technology can be used and training can be provided to the staff of the healthcare setting for communicating with the patients in an effective manner. Use of innovative technologies: advanced technologies can be used for providing better healthcare services to the patients. Hospitals must focus on providing results of the tests timely so as to ensure that proper treatment is provided to the patient on time. Technology can be used for storing the details of the patients. This will enhance the quality of the health of individual which will contribute towards the enhanced health of the patient and quality experience. Equipment needs to be installed near the patient so that it can call the health care professional during emergency situations (Gau, et. al., 2013). Conclusion Thus, it can be concluded from the above discussion, that there are various factors present in the healthcare setting which is affecting the health of the patients. Due to these factors, quality of health of the patients and satisfaction level of the patients is decreasing. It results in providing a bad experience to the patients. The focus of the healthcare setting should be on enhancing the quality of the services offered to the patients which will enhance the experience gained by them. A healthcare organization can adopt different strategies which will help in providing quality healthcare services to the patients and enhancing their experience. These strategies are discussed in this report which will contribute towards the enhanced experience of the patients. References Al-Abri, R.

Rules for You Put All of Your Company’s Products free essay sample

Once you put all of your company’s products into their respective categories, you then consider these rules: 1. Stars:  invest your marketing dollars in these since they could become dominant market leaders 2. Cash Cows:  milk these to provide the cash to invest in your stars and a few question marks 3. Question Marks:  invest in the most promising of these as well — but only a few 4. Dogs:  cut the leash and let these go to the highest bidder for some much needed cash To illustrate, imagine that you’re Coca-Cola. Your portfolio might look something like this: Question Mark:  your energy drink brand (Full Throttle) ? Star:  your bottled water (Dasani) ? Cash Cow:  your namesake soft drink (Coca-Cola) ?

Mozart Review essays

Mozart Review essays Listening Analysis: Mozarts Mass in C Minor Mozarts Mass in C Minor, also known as The Great Mass, is a large multi-movement piece of sacred music. I picked this piece because I particularly enjoyed the part commonly known as Et incarnates and I wanted to focus on this solo. The Great Mass was written for both vocals and orchestra, and contains vocal soloists. The entire Mass orchestration consists of a flute, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, three trombones, a string section, and an organ. The choir consists of four sections, soprano, alto, tenor, bass, and four soloists; two sopranos, one tenor and one bass. The particular section I am focusing on, Et incarnates, is a solo section for a mezzo-soprano. The orchestration consists of violins, violas, two horns, and an oboe. Et incarnates has a ternary form including an intro and a coda. Et incarnates has an Andante moderato tempo, which means it was at a walking to medium pace. It sounds very joyous, and the words of praise that are sung ref lect this upbeat tempo. It has a 4/4 meter, and that remains fairly steady through all sections. The melody is conjunctive, so the notes are all closer together, almost in a step-like motion. The harmony of Et incarnates is consonant, so the pitches blend well with one another, as well as with the melody. The intro to Et incarnates is orchestration only. It begins with the violins and violas for the first two measures. Then the horns pick up with the same tune that the violins and violas were playing. It is upbeat and has almost a skip-along feel to it. The first and third section begins with a mezzo-soprano soloist singing to the same skip-along feel that is in the intro. The violins are in the background and after the soloist is done singing, the violins mimic what she sang. The violins and violas create a b...

Personal experience with mental illness and treatment Essay

Personal experience with mental illness and treatment - Essay Example As a young baby, he seldom played with any of us, and preferred to play with his toys. None of us thought anything of it. When he turned 3, and still didn’t utter a single word, our parents became concerned and consulted a few doctors and psychotherapists. Initially my brother was misdiagnosed with Down’s syndrome. A chromosomal disorder, in which individuals range from mild to profoundly mentally disabled. His speech therapy started when he was 3 years old with minimum results and no results whatsoever in trying to get him to socialize with other children. Our parents thought the doctors were not doing their job properly and kept changing schools and doctors, speech therapists and other professionals. People who came in contact with my brother did not realize he had some sort of disability till they tried to interact with him. After which they tried to socialize but getting no response from my brother, left him alone. We continued to treat him according to what the doctor initially diagnosed as Down’s syndrome, not understanding why he wouldn’t talk and why he wouldn’t socialize. It is characteristic of a Down’s syndrome child to be friendly, and have some form of speech, where as my brother had very limited, 2-3 word sentence speech and hardly any friends. He was most friendly with his nanny and both me and my elder sister, and managed to communicate with us. Mostly the speech therapy sessions were very discouraging and had no results to show. My brother refused to interact with the therapist and every kind of therapy he tried, ended in vain. On a conference on autism and its types, I went through the symptoms of ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and realized my brother did not have Down’s syndrome, but Autism. This explained all his primary behaviors, which were all characteristic of ASD, such as not having developed

I am willing to pay an insurance coverage that is only commensurate to my income (Healthcare.gov, 2012). Hence, it’s but proper that we are given options to choose which insurance scheme is more favorable to us as subscribers (Healthcare.gov, 2012). Section 1002 cited the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and Section 1501 (b) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (as amended) (Healthcare.gov, 2012). Applicable payments for workers are also cited in Section 1003 (Healthcare.gov, 2012). The subscribers options are however limited depending on the implementation of new healthcare policy in various states and on the age bracket of the subscribers (Healthcare.gov, 2012). For instance, the new law clearly stipulated that those who are aging below 26 years old are still covered under parent’s insurance policy and those who are beyond 65 could already avail of free preventive healthcare services and discount for medicinal prescriptions (Healthcare.gov, 2012). Those are employed will also be able to avail healthcare policies that will be provided by the company (Healthcare.gov, 2012). Providing healthcare policies for workers is an opportunity for company to avail healthcare tax credits (Healthcare.gov,

Investing in property shares

Investing in property shares http://ezinearticles.com/?Pros-and-Cons-of-Indirect-Investingid=1506834: Investing indirectly means purchasing shares of companies that hold large portfolios of securities on behalf of their share holders. Indirect investing is a great opportunity for those who are willing to start investing with a small amount, having no previous knowledge or experience of stock markets ups and downs. You can decide if indirect investing is the right choice for you after examining the following features. The advantages associated with investing in property shares is that investors gain from greater liquidity since property company shares are publicly traded and the time taken to buy and sell these shares is far shorter than the time taken to buy and sell real property. Investors can create diversified property portfolios of property company shares at relatively low costs and in most cases, buying into diversified property portfolios in acquiring those shares. Transaction costs are lower than direct purchase. Finally since the price of publicly traded shares are known at any given time, there are no uncertainties as to the value of them. This is a contrast to direct investment with the buying and selling of real property, whereby it can take a matter of days to establish the values. Possibly the biggest advantage of indirect investment is the expertise and high standard management that comes along with investing in indirect property investment vehicles, as far as someone who knows little about property investment is concerned. Property investment companies have experts specializing in investment analysis and portfolio management and these companies will always stand a better chance for positive yields as compared to a common man who barely knows about financial markets. Furthermore another advantage with indirect investment vehicles is the opportunity for the investor to capitalise on discounts and premiums, especially in the case of close-ended funds. The net asset value of investment companys share keep going up and down based on companys performance and these shares are not always traded on net asset value. If sold at a price lower then net asset value, these are said to be sold at discount and if the price is higher then net asset value, they are selling at premium. This provides an opportunity to earn, even when the Net Asset Value has not changed. Neverthless there are disadvantages to investing in property shares. Firstly, the prices of property shares move up and down with the stock market, as such they are more voliatilie. Between 1970 and 1992 the annualised standard deviation of UK property shares was 27 per cent compared to 11 per cent for direct property as measured by the Jones Lang Wooton Index (Barkham and Gelthbner, 1995). It should be noted that when the impact of gearing was removed form property share prices and when the JLW series desmoothed, the standard deviations were much clooser in magnitude. Since according to finance theory, risk-adjusted returns should equalise, property companies should offer higher average performance to compensate investors with this volatility. Secondly another disadvantage is that since property companies are taxed on their profits , their is no full tax transparency . As such tax-exempt investors such as pension funds are unable to claim back corporation tax. A notable disadvantage of investing in indirect property vehicles is that although mutual funds are managed by qualified professionals and experts, no expert can guarantee a profit on every investment made. There are many uncontrollable variables involved and then there is always a chance of unpredictable happening, normally referred to as the great unknown. Mutual funds can be divided into different categories on basis of risk, for example hybrid fund being less risky while specialized stock funds falling in the high risk high return category. Another disadvantage is the charges involved in buying into property shares, trusts and funds. Investment companies do not provide the high quality portfolio management services for free. This can off putting to the would be investor because they also have to pay additional charges associated with dealing through a broker as most property investment companies do not offer direct purchase plans. Also, most of these companies run excessive marketing and sales campaign because of competition. Some part of this expense is also charged from investors, known as sales load. In addition, another disadvantage is the lack of control that the investor has in guiding their investments. This can be off putting to a investor who wants control and they have to alternatively rely fully on the companys management decisions regarding investment. Another shortcoming is that investing in property shares, trusts and funds are not guaranteed by any government body or authorities nor do they provide any specific protection. The shareholder has little influence over the acquistion and disposal decisions made by the company, nor overfinancing decisons (the amount of borrowing -gearing or leverage and the issuing of new shares which dilute the value of existing shares). Since share prices should reflect judgements about the quality of management, the equity markets provides some form of discipline. The shareholder may also find it difficult to obtain full information on the property assets and development schemes of the company, particularly where there exist complex own ership structures with joint ventures and off balance shet holdings. The advantages of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are alike to that of property shares in terms of lot size, liquidity, public trading and price information, with the added advantage of tax transparency. As many researchers have pointed out, there has been an explosive growth of the REIT market. For example the market capitalisation of the industry has gone from $1.88 billion in 1972 to $44.31 billion in 1994 for the total index with a substaintial amount of that growth in the equity index (without healthcare). Also the breakdown between two types of REITs in the index was as follows: 205 equity REITs with a reported value if $62.06 billion (70.4 per cent of total assest value); 32 mortgage REITs with a reported value of $21.78 billion (24.7 per cent); and 23 hybrid REITs with a reported value of $4.34 billion (4.9 per cent). This boom in the market was a direct result of the 1986 Tax Reform Act that allowed greater management flexibility and established a less restrictive tax environment as such more tax transparency, creating the conditions for growth in the REIT market. However, in common with property company shares, REITs exhibit higher volatility than the direct market. The advantages of investing in Property Unit Trusts and Managed Funds is that they offer relatively low unit costs , allowing investors to acquire an interest in a diversified property portfolio without excessive commitment of capital. However there are potential disadvantages in terms of lack of management control and illiquidity. In theory, there is some liquidity in that units may be redeemed on a monthly basis. In practice, in a poor market or when a when a high proportion of units are attempting to sell, the manager may defer redemption. Furthermore, the spread (gap between unit purchase and redemption prices) tends to increase when there is selling pressure, harming performance. Finally, since selling pressure tends to occur in falling markets, sales take place in poor conditions and are, in effect, forced rather than open market sales. These disadvantages temper the benefits in terms of lot size and diversification. The disadvantages of conventional debt instruments such as mortgages, mortgage debentures and bonds is that the lender as a investor cannot benefit from any growth in rents and capital values: there is downside, but no upside risk. The risk-adjusted return will, therefore, change with conditions in the property market. Innovative forms of debt funding have similar characteristic. Deep discount bonds are sol below par (that is, at less than their face and redemption value) so that the investor obtains capital growth on redemption. A number of hybrid debt-equity instruments have been developed which enable the investor to participate in market performance. Since convertible mortgages are loans secured on a property (or, possibly, a portfolio of properties). The lender has an option to convert some or all of the loan into a direct or indirect equity interest in the property. Thus, the lender can benefit from greater than anticipated growth in the property market. The borrower can benefi t from lower interest rates or from the lender permitting a higher loan to value ratio, thus reducing the borrowers own equity input. Furthermore there are tax and accounting advantages in participating mortgage structures for both the borrower and the lender, whereby the lender receives a premium related to the sale price (or agreed valuation) at redemption. However, a legal problem the fact that the lenders call option acts as a clog the equity of redemption, preventing a borrower from clearing debt and thus owning the asset unencumbered has, at the time of writing, not been decisively resolved and has been the subject of Law Commission deliberations in the UK. The principal advantages of property derivatives relate to their low unit costs , the ability to gear up investment and the ability to gain exposure to the property market without incurring high levels of specific risk (for example, a PIC enabled an investor to track the IPD portfolio then valued at some  £40bn) for just  £250,000. However, there are a number of drawbacks. These include questions about the information content of commercial property indices, lags in the publication of the indices and the fact that the investor is buying into average performance and cannot hope to outperform the market. he key condition for successful development of property derivatives is the establishment of an active secondary market. This requires sufficient market capitalisation, investors prepared to trade actively in the market (as opposed to buying the initial offering and holding it to redemption) and, critically, differences in opinion as to future trajectories of the underlying assets o r index. There must be buyers and sellers. Once established, it is possible that price movements in the derivative market will, as in other capital markets, have implications for pricing in the underlying direct property market. The introduction of UK REITs means small investors are now able to invest indirectly in a truly diversified property portfolio, buying low cost and easily tradable units, instead of having to purchase, say, entire properties. A major advantage of UK REITs is their tax-efficient nature. Investors avoid the double taxation that any investor in property company shares faces, as tax wont be payable on rental or capital gains earned within a REIT (as the REIT organisation is exempt from corporation tax on qualifying property income and gains). Investors will only be liable for the tax due on income received as dividends. Because UK REITs pay out such a large portion (90%) of their profits in dividends, theyre also particularly attractive to small income-seeking investors. Without the challenges associated with the current double taxation regime, UK REITs may differ from existing quoted property companies in that their prime focus may be less about capital growth than maximising shareholder dividends. They are able to meet the needs of the property investment market and the small investor in that they offer regular and potentially high-yielding returns. Also access to property investment for small investors is for minimal outlay as such there is less exposure to their investments. It offers portfolio diversification for investors and as such more leverage against risk. Buying into REITs offers a more attractive form of diversification than by buying into a wider range of bonds or equities simply because they have a higher correlation with diversification than equities and bonds have (reita.org, All about REITs) Liquidity easy to buy/sell Lower transaction costs compared to buying property directly (stamp duty on direct property is up to 4%, whereas buying shares in a UK REIT will only be subject to stamp duty of 0.5%)Access to property investment in a variety of sectors and geographical locations Strong corporate governance. The major concern about investing in REITs as a means of gaining exposure to the commercial property market is their correlation to equities. Because REITs are stock market listed companies, the performance of their shares is inevitably affected by the performance of the market. In the short-term, ie over periods of less than 18 months, the performance of REITs shares is likely to be more closely correlated to that of other shares than it is to that of commercial property. Having said that, commercial property, whether direct or indirect, should be considered for long-term investment rather than short-term speculation. Like any investment, the value of a REIT can go down as well as up and past performance isnt necessarily an indicator of future performance. If you are looking for advice on where to invest, Reita would always recommend seeking independent financial advice from an investment professional.

Health promotion Essay

Health promotion is the art and science for helping people develop of their preferences between optimal health and their major passions. What motivate people to achieve optimal health, and what supporting then in lifestyle changing to movie forward to the optimal health. I strongly believe that optimal health is emotional balance, physical, spiritual, intellectual, and social health. Changing of lifestyle based on combination of increase motivation, learning experiences, build skills and creation of different opportunities that give us access to environment that provide positive health practice like the best choice. Moreover, health promotion is amount of information for individuals, communities, and family education. Health promotion is promotion of healthy lifestyle and healthy ideas and help people to achieved their best status of health. According to the definition of Health Promotion motivate people to take control over to improve their health. For health promotion we need to have support such as: create supportive environment for health and develop personal skills. Health promotion is the most important part of nursing care. Nurse plays important role in public health promoting. Focus for health promotion for nurses more point of disease prevention and changing lifestyle of individuals and their behavior. Moreover, that main purpose of health promotion in nursing is educate people and encourage them respect their health. Nursing role as health promoters is very complex, because of multi-disciplinary experience and knowledge of health promotion in nursing practice. Main idea of health promotion developed to improve community based practice according to the health policies. My idea is that healthcare professionals guide other people to the right health decisions. Nurses make people re-evaluate their health ideas and moreover we help not just for individual, we help even families, organizations, and communities. Nurses proved models toward health promotion and appraise how effective is evidence-based practice for the future researches. How are nursing roles and responsibilities evolving in health promotion? Nursing of public health practice is focused on population and  required a lot of different knowledge, skills and competencies. Nurse must have unique knowledge by focusing working in the community participation in health promotion and prevention. Nursing Role in primary care very important and can redesign of the primary nursing care system when patient is the center of the medical facility. All nursing field working for patient`s care such as: communication with the patients, visit patients at the home for their daily care. Many resources used for public health nursing practice and centered on improving health of population by prevention methods. Moreover, nurses are advocates and planning for the patients by multi level view of health. We know what our patients needs because we are at bedside and in the community. We take care of patients every day and every hour because nursing is 24 hour care. Nurses improve the health outcome for everybody in the community by applying their clinical skills and experience in health care. Health promotion is focusing on removing bad influences on health to developing healthy environment and supporting individuals and communities to take control and charge of their own health. Moreover, health promotion build on health education and help people prevent many illnesses and injuries by supporting right healthy behavior. Programs for health promotions include intervention such as lifestyle changing, smoking cessation and primary method of prevention. Unfortunately, people rarely change their behavior that’s why implementation methods must be started in community as a first step for global changes. Local health promotion will bring to the people right set of priorities which can support to promote health. Health Promotion has three levels: primary prevention, secondary prevention and tertiary prevention. The major one is to protect people from experiencing an injury and protect people from developing a disease. For example: education about quit smoking, the importance of exercise regularly, good nutrition , dangers of alcohol and other drugs. Regular screening tests to monitor risk for illness. Secondary prevention is intervention after disease or risk factor have already diagnosed. The goal is to catch disease in slow face or in earliest stage. As educators we have to tell people to take daily low dose of aspirin as a prevention of stroke or heart attack. We can recommend regular screening tests and exams in people who have risk  factors for diseases. Tertiary prevention more about helping people take care of long-term health problems such as diabetes, cancer, and heart attack. For example rehabilitation programs for stroke, support group chronic pain management programs for the patients. I am nurse in Rehabilitation Center and Long –term facility. I have seen every day how rehabilitation program help people to manage their new lifestyle and how to fight with their illnesses. Else in our facility we have support groups. People can discuss to each other about their health problems, their prognosis and future expectations. Moreover in that group people share with their own experiences and can provide right and helpful information for the patient who just was diagnosed and have a long way ahead to accept that new role in family and community. For a lot of health problems primary, secondary and tertiary interventions combination is necessary to achieve a right level of protection and prevention. For ideal world Primary prevention is the best but unfortunately in our modern busy world not all of us follow the best way. The main role here play limit of knowledge about causes of some particular injury or diseases. Although, primary and secondary prevention are clear in areas as heart disease and cancer, may be not that much useful for musculoskeletal illness. In that case prefer to have primary prevention then secondary and tertiary. I am wound care nurse in long term facility and I believing that primary prevention for pressure ulcers is the best way to promote health for all patients. Bed sores are not a disease process and preventive method must be on the first place. Elderly population has higher risk factors to have bed sores because of age, fragile skin, complicated disease, chronic disease. Prevention is the best way to keep such patients in a good level of health. Many resources now available to prevent pressure ulcers in the long-term facilities: Air mattresses, turning and reposition every two hours and as needed, incontinence care every two hours and as needed, skin barrier, Moreover, physical and occupation therapy intervention: schedule patients for out of bed daily, special cushion to prevent pressure ulcer from prolong sitting. All of that can promote health to geriatric population and make their lives longer and more comfortable. Else, in wound care preventive measures less cost than treatment. Money that is saved on treatment can be good resources for future researches of wound care field. Wound Care still needs new researches to promote healing. The  main reason of prevention in wound healing is sepsis which can lead to death of the patient. We have to take care about our patients and the best care is prevention method. By that we can save people lives and make them feel better and more comfortable in their diseases and injuries. Art of science of Health Promotion Conference  Michael P.

A Fierce Discontent

Indiana University’ Michael McGerr chronicles the development and eventual collapse of the American progressive movement in his 2003 work, A Fierce Discontent: The Rise and Fall of the Progressive Movement in America, 1870-1920. He employs various literary techniques in his attempt to draw the reader into the world that was America at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. More than a simple retelling of historical events, the book seeks to allow the reader to catch a glimpse of the emotions that swirled around at the time.Not only does McGerr give an insight into the lives of all the key players in the historical drama, but McGerr allows the reader to see an image of what life was like for the people who did not make it to the cover of history books, poor farmers and inter-city immigrants. McGerr’s book captures far more angles than you would expect it to. A Fierce Discontent is filled with many of the author’s own convictions about the progres sive era and the legacy it would leave.McGerr interestingly asserts that the excesses and overly-fervent radicalism of many of the leaders of the progressive movement would be responsible for events such as the Communist scare of the 1920s, the popularity of eugenics and racial tension in the coming decades. He uses the term â€Å"coercively reform† to describe the actions some radical progressives took in trying to affect the lives of the lower classes and eventually concludes that the folly of the progressive movement was in the fact that, â€Å"reformers should not try too much.† Furthermore, it is interesting to learn the McGerr believes that the meteoric fall of the progressive movement is still affecting our society and government today. He sees the overreaching of the progressive movement and its consequences as foreshadowing the overly liberal policies of Lyndon Johnson’s â€Å"Great Society† and the resurgence of American conservatism. When one l ooks at the political reality of both situations, there seems to be a sense of parallelism.The progressive administrations of Theodore Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson gave way to the laissez-faire conservatism of Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover. Similarly, the â€Å"New Deal† began by Franklin Roosevelt and continued by Kennedy and Johnson set the table for the â€Å"Reagan Revolution†. There is certainly a discernible economic pattern that exists between the two situations, although there seems to be noticeable societal differences. This can be attributed to the changing nature of what being â€Å"conservative† has come to mean in America.Whereas it was the progressives who fought so hard for prohibition and other â€Å"defenses of morality†, it would be the Reagan-era conservatives that would take up these causes a little more than half a century later. Another, and perhaps questionable, aspect of McGerr’s depiction is his vary assertion that the Ameri can progressive movement can be traced back to 1870. Most historians date the formation of the American progressive movement to the early 1890s.No where does McGerr rationalize the decision to date the movement to 1870, as there is almost no discussion of events or people before the early 1890s. While minor in the context of the whole work, it is unusual that such a seemingly arbitrary date was given for the origins of a critical period in American history. A Fierce Discontent is thoroughly enjoyable, a fact that is greatly contributed to by the author’s deliberate attempts to draw the reader into the period of history that McGerr is describing.Additionally, it is extremely comprehensive, covering each and every strike, â€Å"robber baron†, and anti-trust act you could possibly need or want to know about. While some of McGerr’s assertions seem to be questionable at times, He effectively brings to life the period around the turn to the 20th century, and makes the reader think about some of the lasting effects this turbulent time might have put into play.

Literary Analysis Essay Parallel Paths by Kevin Clark We would like to believe that love brings us together, but this is not always the case as Kevin Clark implies in the first two lines of â€Å"Parallel Paths† when he states â€Å"Today you’re lucky, in love with your wife for the first time in weeks†. We lead very hectic lives and in the mist of all the commotion we tend to forget to pencil in time for our loved ones, the people we are supposed to keep near and dear. The poem â€Å"Parallel Paths† by Kevin Clark is about a marriage that is strained. In this poem Kevin Clark uses several metaphors that reflect on the importance of maintaining a marriage by devoting time and effort. The metaphors that will be discussed in this essay†¦show more content†¦It is important to look for that hope, because where there is hope there is help. If you really want your marriage to last you have to be willing to fight for it, even though there are no guarantees. You have to put everything else aside a nd take the time to focus in on the issues and try to fix them to determine if the marriage can move forward and the problems can be left in the past. In line 37 Clark uses the metaphor â€Å"a single mutable wildflower†. This single flower reflects that there are no guarantees in a marriage. When you try to work on issues in your marriage it is possible that the table could turn either way. The issues may be fixable and then again maybe not but you want know until you try. If you only look at the negative things then you will have a hard time fixing the problems. If you look at the negative things with a positive attitude, an attitude of I can fix this, then who knows what might happen. But one thing is for sure I would feel better walking away knowing that I have tried to mend the fences instead of just walking away.
