...brought into consideration in ethical dilemmas. Healthcare professionals often use these ethical principles as a premise to make morally sound judgements on care provision. Ethical dilemmas surface when these principles conflict with one another. The correct course of action is not clearly defined and the decisions made may be challenged. Decisions made on moral grounds are often intrinsically complex and intricate. This essay will cover the principles of distributive justice, autonomy, and beneficence. Drawing from personal experience, three individual case pertaining to each principle are provided to illustrate how each principle is either observed or breached. A conclusion is presented at the end of each case study to summarize the ethical reasoning and concepts discussed. A final conclusion will also be presented at the end of the essay to provide closure to the discussion. Distributive Justice Case Study: Dr Adams is a physician working in an acute medical ward.

...HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY Angeles City CASE STUDY: Submitted by: Aquino, Pauline Catherine Catajan, Nikka Camille Garcia, Mary Fe Yza Maniago, Lizette D. Nepomuceno, Anna Bettina S. Submitted to: Mrs. Maria Cristina Naguit September 01, 2014 Summary Tesco is the largest British retailer and is also the world's third largest grocery retailer with outlets across Europe, USA and Asia. The business began in 1919 with one man, Jack Cohen, selling groceries from a stall in the East End of London. Jack bought surplus stocks of tea from a company called T.E. Stockwell. T.E. Stockwell and Cohen combined their names to brand the tea Cohen originally sold TESCO tea. In 1929, the first Tesco store opened in north London. Tesco has expanded since then by a combination of acquisition of new stores, retail services and by adapting to the needs of consumers. Tesco has net profits (before tax) of around £3 billion. Tesco's primary aim is 'to serve the customer'. Keeping existing customers happy is important, as they are more likely to return. This is more cost effective for the business than acquiring new ones. In the UK Tesco now has over 2,200 stores ranging from the large Extra hypermarket style stores to small Tesco Express high street outlets. Tesco's original product range of grocery and general merchandise has diversified to include banking, insurance services, electrical goods as well as telephone equipment and airtime. This move towards 'one stop shopping' means...

...Legalization of Regulated Brothel Prostitution Sex is an integral part of human culture and nature. Humans have an ingrained craving for it that they satiate in different manners. Prostitution, long described as the world’s oldest profession, formed around this craving and over time has evolved into a worldwide industry that has only been aided through the use of technology. However, sex work remains illegal in the United States and most parts of the world and the consequences for participating as a consumer or supplier are grave. This illegality has adverse effects on modern society’s health, economy and safety that would easily be alleviated in the event of the decriminalization of prostitution and the legalization of regulated brothel prostitution: Prostitutes face a real health risk due to the criminalization. According to Steffanie A. Strathdee and colleagues from her article “Dispelling Myths about Sex Workers and HIV” in the medical journal The Lancet. …sex workers face substantial barriers in accessing prevention, treatment, and care services… because of stigma, discrimination, and criminalization.” and “illegality of sex work creates barriers to sex workers seeking HIV prevention… due to fear of authorities. This fear of authorities is a significant barrier for prostitutes for many reasons and includes prostitute’s unfortunate avoidance to condom use. “Police harassment, [the] arrest of sex workers for carrying condoms [and] the use of condoms as evidence of sex...

...Discuss how self-assessment, goal setting, models of reflection and the use of feedback can help you in your own learning development. Illustrate your own points by using examples drawn from your own university experience so far including portfolio activities. This paper is going to discuss my own personal learning development on my journey through university so far. This will be done by assessing myself through different portfolio activities I have undertaken as part of the academic study skills module, namely activities one, two, three, four and seven. I will also review goals I set myself as well as reflecting upon my learning experiences. I will do this by using the Kolb’s Cycle of Experimental Learning (McLeod, 2013) finally concluding on what I have learnt through this process. According to Heidi Andrade and Anna Valtcheva (2009) self-assessment is crucial in order for our learning to develop. They believe that this is so we can identify our strengths and weaknesses and to determine which areas we may need to improve upon. One of the portfolio activities I had to complete was a self-assessment audit (portfolio activity one) which consisted of a series of questions that related to different skills I possess. Such as my information technology skills or how I handle any problems I may encounter and I had to rate myself on how well I thought my skills were. At the end of the audit I received a score of ninety-six out of a possible one hundred and thirty-nine...

...place, whether we are interested in politics, culture, history, security, or art. To understand the world around us, however, we must be engaged citizens of the world.

This course serves as an introduction to International Affairs, an interdisciplinary program that covers international politics, history, sociology, anthropology, language, and culture. This class is unique in that we will have lectures on a variety of topics, and watch films that enhance your understanding of globalization.

The dyes were treated with nitric and acetic acids to examine their effects on the power conversion efficiency. According to the experimental results, the performance was better with the acetic acid-treated anthocyanin. The Jsc value for the acetic acidtreated pink, red and violet dyes increased to 0.887, 0.932 and 0.737 mA/cm2 compared to nitric acid treated and bare dye. The conversion efficiency of the acetic acid-treated pink, red and violet was 0.35%, 0.36%,...

...Hypertension and some other cardio-vascular conditions also exhibit certain changes in retinal blood vessels. Growth of new vessels (also known as neo-vascularization), disappearance of vessel ( due to occlusion) , change in dimension are some of the structural changes associated with blood vessels. In cases with hypertension, the retinal arteries dilate by about 35%. Inspite of diabetic retinopathy, age and hypertension also causes changes in the structural geometry of retinal vessels. Diabetes may cause retinal abnormalities which is known as diabetic retinopathy, abnormalities in kidneys (diabetic nephropathy), nervous system (diabetic neuropathy) and is known to be one of the major risk for cardiovascular diseases. Diabetic retinopathy is a microvascular complication caused by diabetes which can lead to blindness. There won’t be any visible signs in the early stages of diabetic retinopathy but as the time passes the severity and number of abnormalities increases.
