...antenatal care providers will continue to perform dipstick urinalysis at each and every appointment, whereas other providers will only perform one at every appointment if the patient presents with Gestational diabetes with oral glucose screening, Pre-eclampsia with blood pressure and Asymptomatic bacteriuria [urine infection with no symptoms] with a culture at the first visit (IHS.gov 2005). According to an article in the Journal of Family practice by William A. Alto, Screening for gestational diabetes using urine dipsticks for glycosuria is ineffective with low sensitivities. False-positive tests outnumber true positives 11:1. A 50-g oral glucose challenge is a better test. Tests for glycosuria after this blood test are not useful. Proteinuria determined by dipstick in pregnancy is common and a poor predictor for preeclampsia with a positive predictive value between 2% and 11%. If the blood pressure is elevated, a more sensitive test should be used. After urinalysis at the first prenatal visit, routine urine dipstick screening should be stopped in low-risk women. Urinalysis can be a quick and reliable indicator for some conditions such as UTI, dehydration and malnourishment (ketonuria). However in the case of gestational diabetes and pre eclampsia,...

...objective. Risk identification includes determining which may adversely affect the project objective and what the impact of each risk might be if it occurs. (Gido/Clements, Pg. 285) I have created a risk matrix that identifies the potential risk that can place a burden on the project scope, schedule and budget. My main concern and identification is the recruitment and training of new employees. We have been provided with 6 weeks to train new employees, some individuals come with experience and several will be new to the plastic container industry. New recruits will require additional time to learn all of the functions of daily operations. If they are not trained in time, this will put a burden on the creation of the production plan. The pre-production plan can be used as a training activity to ensure that they will be able to assist in the production plan. Solution: Apply a headhunter to scan resumes for candidates with required experience and qualifications. Request additional training time for new employees; propose 9 weeks for individuals with no industry experience. If the board and budget allows, provide paid training to those individuals who are willing and able to start early. The second identification that is of major concern is the procurement of building site, acquiring permits and approvals on time. The fact that all approvals must come from outside agencies, all documents should be submitted early. Solution: I would suggest sending documentation 4 weeks prior...

...Movies today are probably the most dominant industry that contributes in the production of popular culture today. What movies show depict what society is like and in turn as well decide what society would be like. Although movies are not particularly a medium meant to impart knowledge or awareness only, however it does do it and when it does it has the most impact compared to any other medium, to say for example books or news. We as mere human beings living our lives isolated by the rest of the world in our own little homes, towns and countries have a fairly little idea of what the world is like outside of our homes. All the knowledge that we have of the world around us is through books, movies, news, TV shows, etc. And among all these forms, movies hold a prominent position in developing the psyche of the common masses. To provide an example, the issue of Kashmir has always been a controversial issue in the politics of India. And though the common man hardly knows something about the actual socio-economic-political situation of that geographical region, that does not mean they don’t have an opinion about it! There is a common sense that is propagated in society about the whole situation. So, if you go around asking a random guy on the street, what does he think about the whole Kashmir issue, you are very likely to get an answer, “Kashmir hamara hai, hamare paas rahega”. He might as well add the (in)famous dialogue from the movie Gadar, another example of the influence of movies...

...peers glanced at him with the up most respect sent a trigger alerting me to the significance of him. Although he sat patiently through his detailed introduction, his eyes focused around the room, seemingly categorizing each student into a database, well organized through years of practice. Light applause trailed him as he took a firm stance in the front of the ballroom. Deceptively, he began with generalized questions about how people perceive each other, trivial knowledge that determined little, other than the common sense of his audience. After a series of varyingly mediocre topics, Mr. Taylor quieted down and pondered to himself for a second, gaining his thoughts and deciding how best to approach the next topic, “How many of you are pre-med students?” he asked inquisitively. I was one of many of the proud students who raised their hands. Nodding in acceptance, he continued with a sinister grin, “A show of hands, how many of your parents are doctors?” He searched the room for one proud hand, yet, none could be seen. With mock surprise, he indulged the curious crowd as to the direction of his questions. “I just left USM a few honors ago, delivering a speech to students with much the same career path as all of you. But somehow, when I asked if...

...Shannel Henry Dr. Brennan HUMN 1002 4/15/2014 Baby Face In the 1930s the United States was experiencing a depression era. This era known as ,The Great Depression, had a great effect on the movie industry. Films began to focus on sex, violence, infidelity, and promiscuous ways to target new audiences, mainly the males. The other types of genres like horror, gangster, and musical were still high in Demand during this era also. Social realism came about, which is a style of art that focuses on the ugly realities of the modern life and sympathizes with the working class people, especially the poor. The movies that were being produce during this time was to interest the men, which cause the movie producers to give women the lead roles and takeover the movie screen. A movie example is the film Baby Face. Baby Face, a movie directed by Alfred E. Green shows how women took over the ‘Big Screen’. This movie is based on Lily powers, who is played by Barbara Stanwyck, and how she moves up through her social class and financial status. She uses her beauty and her intelligence to get what she wanted from the men that she came into contact with. An example of her getting her way is at the end of the movie, when she wants the bank to fund her 15,000 to have a fresh start, but instead they gave her a new position at a firm in Paris. This is basically her getting her way because she has her new start from the scandal. Social realism is portrayed because every man that she met...

...Edward Burne Jones was an English painter, illustrator, and designer and a key figure in the second phase of Pre-Raphaelitism. In 1853 he began studying at Oxford University, intending to train for a priesthood, but his interest was turned to art first by William Morris, his fellow student, and then by Rossetti, who remained the decisive influence on him. He left Oxford without taking a degree in 1856 and settled in London. Rossetti gave him a few informal lessons and he attended life drawing classes for a while, but essentially he was self-taught; his taste was more classical than Rossetti's and his elongated forms owed much to the example of Botticelli. He favoured medieval and mythical (especially Arthurian) subjects and hated such modernists as the Impressionists, describing their subjects as ‘landscape and whores’. His own ideas on painting are summed up as follows: ‘I mean by a picture a beautiful romantic dream, of something that never was, never will be—in a light better than any that ever shone—in a land no-one can define or remember, only desire—and the forms divinely beautiful.’ He had a fairly low-key career until 1877, when he became famous overnight with the showing of eight large paintings at the opening exhibition of the Grosvenor Gallery. Thereafter he acquired huge fame and prestige, not only in Britain, but also on the Continent: he had considerable influence on the French Symbolists, and the ethereally beautiful women who people his paintings, like the more...

...Allan Grey JQ Excelsior Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire and Kazan’s film adaptation shared not only the same characters, but also the same themes, reactions and other literary techniques Williams had created throughout his play. However, for Elia Kazan to have produced the film, some scenes were eliminated or changed to fit what was known as the Hay’s Code. One of the scenes that was not so much vital to the play, was when Blanche DuBois explains to Mitch about her ex-husband. Allan Grey, Blanche’s ex husband, was found in bed with another man and by no other than his wife, Blanche herself. In the play both Blanche and Allan pretended that nothing happened after that night. Allan was probably being tortured and was already fragile as Blanche describes him, “There was something different about the boy, a nervousness, a softness and tenderness which wasn’t like a man’s, although he wasn’t the least bit effeminate looking- still- that thing was there…” (Williams 95). That along with a deadly silence put upon him was more than Allan could bare. After, one night, they all three went out and were conveniently drunk. In the middle of dancing at a casino, Blanche had brought up what had happened. She expressed herself about Allan’s doings and how she felt about them to him. Allan had then ran out on her and a bit after, a shot was heard. This was told to our readers towards the end of scene six of Williams play. Blanche had not taken into consideration the way Allan was feeling...

...CASE STUDY: JOHNSON & JOHNSON Johnson & Johnson (J&J) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of health care products. The fundamental objective of the company is to provide scientifically sound, high-quality products and services to help heal the sick, cure disease, and improve the quality of life. In mid-2000, J&J made a strategic decision to merge two research and development organizations in the Pharmaceuticals Group. Departments in the Robert Wood Johnson Pharmaceutical Research Institute, headquartered in New Jersey, and the Janssen Research Foundation, headquartered in Belgium, were integrated to create a leading-edge global function called the Drug Evaluation (DE) organization. DE’s purpose is to rapidly generate data that allows J&J to make the best investment decisions about the drug portfolio. In the overall R&D process, the group is the bridge between discovery of new compounds and full development of a new drug. As a group, they are responsible for investigating all compounds that may be potential new products and making data-driven decisions in collaboration with the discovery and full-development groups. The highest-quality and highest-potential discovery compounds are quickly and efficiently moved through preclinical development and into initial human trials. DE employees experience a genuine and unique opportunity to shape the R&D pipeline in J&J and ultimately influence patient well-being. It is an exciting and challenging...

...Thales of Miletus was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher from Miletus in Asia Minor, and one of the Seven Sages of Greece. Many, most notably Aristotle, regard him as the first philosopher in the Greek tradition. According to Bertrand Russell, "Western philosophy begins with Thales." Thales attempted to explain natural phenomena without reference to mythology and was tremendously influential in this respect. Almost all of the other Pre-Socratic philosophers follow him in attempting to provide an explanation of ultimate substance, change, and the existence of the world without reference to mythology. Those philosophers were also influential and eventually Thales' rejection of mythological explanations became an essential idea for the scientific revolution. He was also the first to define general principles and set forth hypotheses, and as a result has been dubbed the "Father of Science". In mathematics, Thales used geometry to solve problems such as calculating the height of pyramids and the distance of ships from the shore. He is credited with the first use of deductive reasoning applied to geometry, by deriving four corollaries to Thales' Theorem. As a result, he has been hailed as the first true mathematician and is the first known individual to whom a mathematical discovery has been attributed. In the long sojourn of philosophy there has existed hardly a philosopher or historian of philosophy who did not mention Thales and try to characterize him in some way. He is generally...

...Christina Rossetti – Unrequited Love Many of Christina Rossetti's poems seem to evoke a sense of thwarted or unrequited love, however in terms of ‘Jessie Cameron’ this unrequited love is reversed into an untypical situation in this patriarchal society of Rossetti’s era. Jessie is described as a ‘careless, fearless girl'. Her ‘mirthful' nature prompts her to take chances and sometimes become ‘heedless' about what she says. Her outgoing personality stands in direct contrast to traditional expectations of a Victorian maiden who the audience would expect to perhaps be of timid or demur characteristics. , Rossetti defies conventions, in said patriarchal society, she gives Jessie an identity, whereas in the Victorian era a girl like Jessie could cease to exist. Jessie demonstrates a sense of female empowerment when Rossetti refers to her as “fearless” a word which is not necessarily associated with power, or even a trait which would be considered as attractive; however it actually serves to set her apart, something that makes her different, and in the eyes of her rejected lover, indeed attractive. This love is so unrequited, to the extent that not once is his name mentioned; he is only known to the audience as the “neighbor’s son”. She does not want to acknowledge him, she is avoiding any form of intimate connection, in fact any form of connection whatsoever. However, this could also be interpreted to illustrate the distance between the two, and to prove they have no relation at...

...How often should a construction worksite be inspected? Provide the rationale for your recommendation. In the military we have to inspect all of our equipment daily prior to using it. This may sound a little excessive but we have to know we can rely on our equipment. I think the actual worksite should be inspected a minimum of every six months by management and daily by the worker. It is easier to correct a problem if it is spotted early. It can also prevent damage to equipment or injury or a fatality. Here is a good schedule I found on how often inspections should be conducted. • “1-2 per month for Senior Management such as Plant Managers and Executives • (Predictivesolutionscom, 2012). • 1-2 per week for Line Managers, Superintendents, Directors, and Workers • 3-5 per week for Safety staff” (Predictivesolutionscom, 2012) The inspections should be more frequent if there are a lot of accidents. I still think that the worker needs to do at least a quick look around his work area everyday especially if there are other shifts that use the same work area. A little housekeeping can prevent a lot of accidents. OSHA is not able to inspect every business yearly. Their first priority is on the employers with a poor safety record, fatalities or a hazardous job. Other employers will be inspected regularly. There is no specific time period for an OSHA inspection. “OS&H regulation 3.5 to 3.11 list their requirements for inspections. It states, Provision for the regular...

They still have a few problems that need to be solved. * In 2008 Southwest has had problems with the safety of the their jets. One way Southwest keeps their prices low is by having their jets be constantly in the air and tries to minimize the time jets are loaded unloaded etc. Southwest knowingly failed to conduct inspection on 46 of their planes fuselage systems and instead continued to have these planes fly. Their decisions to have the planes continue to fly cost them 10.2 million in fines. * Since 1971 Southwest has implemented a no- layoff policy and has tried to buyout employees who receive a higher pay scale. In 2007 Southwest tried reduce labor costs by buying out 8,700 employees but only 1,000 employees took the buyout, leading to a only a small decline in labor cost. Southwest can solve their safety issues by * Following all safety inspection on time. Southwest will lose profit by having their planes sit idle while they are inspected, but this is something that must be done because of how much it effects customer’s opinion of the company. They money Southwest will lose in the short-run due to regular inspections, is nothing compared to the money they will lose in the long run if customers believe flying Southwest is dangerous.

...The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, founded in autumn 1848, was an original artistic response to the revolutionary outbursts of the time in continental Europe. The mysterious letters “P.R.B.” features on the paintings of the young and completely unknown artists caused a stir in the English society. This group was comprised of London’s Academy students including John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and William Holman Hunt, each of whom was eager to change not only the principles of modern art but also the role it played in society. Combining scientific precision, an innovative approach to subject matter, and brilliant, clear colors, Pre-Raphaelitism was Britain's first avant-garde art movement. The members of the Brotherhood were well aware of their place in the culture with non-existent traditions of religious art, which had been obliterated in the 16th century during the Reformation. The Pre-Raphaelites were faced with an uneasy task – to revive religious art without employing the canonical imagery of altar paintings. Unlike the Renaissance masters, “P.R.B.” based their compositions not on imagination but on observations from everyday life. While the Pre-Raphaelites approached the Bible as a source of human drama and searches for literary and poetic meaning, they also addressed provocative narratives of modern life that employed religious iconography. Their compositions, focused on social issues and daily activities, often grew into parables, demonstrating how the didactic...
