...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...

...CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Background of the study Banking plays an important role in the lives of individuals as well as nations. As a matter of fact, you couldn’t just imagine how our economic system in particular could function efficiently and effectively without the services rendered by banks. As the center of the financial sector, the banking industry in most emerging economies is passing through a process of change. With the passing of years, our banking system underwent rapid development which includes how they handle different risks to survive in their industry. As the financial activity has become a major economic activity in most economies, any interference or imbalance in banking system’s infrastructure will have significant impact on the entire economy. So to avoid any disruption on this, different banks used their own risk handling methods otherwise called a risk management as their key solution on this. Risk is a situation involving exposure to danger. It is the possibility that something unpleasant will happen. It may be also an object (person or thing) that creates or intensifies a risk situation. It may be also a scenario that can be described (qualified, if not quantified) and that may be damaging, in any way, to an organization or institution. It may cause a “loss” directly or indirectly. Any manage and control of potential risks is called risk management. It has a big part in any organization or an institution to have awareness...

...Where were the primary risks that New Century faces ?? New Century focused more on increasing their profits and sales, without regard to the risks in the line of business. The primary risks that New Century faced are identified below Operational risks Operating risks involve the company‘s ability to originate, retain, sell or securitize and service home mortgage loans to subprime borrowers, and to account for those transactions and properly reserve against risks relating to those transactions in an efficient and accurate manner. New Century’s zeal for increased sales and profits, lead to originating and selling more high risk mortgages and inability to monitor loan quality and poor underwriting standards, and application of improper accounting policies. And since the company was targeting subprime borrowers, it did not worry about borrower’s ability to repay the loan as long as the company could sell the mortgages to investors. This lead to high risk problems. Product Risk Product risks involve the fixed rate mortgages, adjustable rate mortgages, hybrid mortgages, and interest only mortgages. New Century offered a variety of options to borrowers, including non-traditional mortgage products such as interest only mortgages and adjustable rate mortgages at very low rates. This lead to a rapid increase in subprime mortgages and securitization. Since New Century was not only dependent on internal factors, this increased the risk for the company as any change in any external...

...INDUSTRY PAPER OUTLINE I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This industry paper is generally about a animal feed industry , Tri-star Feeds, Inc. The study will discuss and analyze several factors of the animal feed industry. This industry, TFI are facing a few difficulties in operational and human resource management. Which later on will be further discussed and elaborated. One obstacle the company’s facing is balancing the plant’s production load, due to the plant producing different feeds which takes time and to set up and change over feeds for different animal and variants. Another issue is the shortage supply of quality raw materials and reliability of the adequate quality of raw materials. Orders of raw materials in bulk isn’t really advisable for that the animal feeds have a limited shelf life. Lastly is the need to pre-empt the entry of a disruptive labor organization into the company. Although resolving this issue will be costly and grim, the company has a few opportunities to even out this concern. And they are: customers are loyal and they do not like to switch from one brand to another for the sme batch of animal feeds, the company demands for goods are always high, the companies distribution chain is high and strong within the region, livestock farmers do not like to switch from one brand to another for the same batch of animals. TFI Inc. is attempting to fully comply with the orders of their clients, but due the plants limitation. Orders of Brief description...
