...Self-Management Behavioral Contract I understand that change is necessary in order to make room for improvement. Self-improvement is something that I continuously work towards, not for anyone else’s happiness but my own. Presently, my goal for myself is to gain healthy eating habits and lose weight. Although I do not see myself as “fat” I do see myself as overweight and there is definitely room for change. My ultimate target is to lose up to fifteen (15) pounds and change my eating habits. After losing the weight I would like to continue my eating habits in order to keep a healthy lifestyle. In order to reach my goal I have determined that I will have to change eating patterns. First, what I eat and how much I eat at one time. Sadly, I have a habit of eating military style, at least that’s what my brother who is in the military calls it. I often times eat quickly, which is not a good thing. I have learned that eating fast is not healthy. Eating too fast does not give the brain enough time to send a signal to the stomach that I am full. My intake is faster than the signal and by the time I am finished I am stuffed. Another behavior that needs to cease is the time of the day that I eat. I have a habit of not eating much during the day, but at night eating very late or waking up in the middle of the night for a snack (chocolate ice- cream). I would love to increase the amount of time that I work out in a day. I find my schedule to sometimes be so busy, and when it comes...

...The history of human resource management started with providing welfare measures to apprentices of the putting-out system. The first personnel department came in the early 20th century. Human resource management has evolved through the ages and gained importance with each passing age. The Origins of Workforce Management The earliest forms of human resource management were the working arrangements struck between craftsmen and their apprentices during the pre-Industrial cottage-based guild system. The apprentice lived in the workshop or home of his master, and the master took care of his health and welfare. The Industrial Revolution of the mid-eighteenth century led to the emergence of large factories and the displacement of cottage-based guild manufacturing. The unhygienic and arduous work in factories led to many labor riots, and the government stepped in to provide basic rights and protections for workers. The need to comply with such statutory regulations forced factory owners to set up a formal mechanism to redress issues concerning labor. The National Cash Register Company (NCR) established the first personnel management department to look into issues such as grievances, safety, dismissals, court cases, and also record keeping and wage management, in the aftermath of a bitter strike and lockout in 1901. Many other factories soon set up similar personnel departments. The role of such labor departments in factories was a continuation of their previous commitment to monitor...

This article shows the unique performance contribution of self-commitment in the context of cooperative internationalization of SMEs in several ways: First, we use a multiparadigmatic approach to cooperation theory to argue why self-commitment as a coordination mechanism is particularly relevant in the context of cooperative internationalization. Second, we develop a new operationalization of self-commitment which takes the context of international cooperations into account. Third, we show...

...summary will explore the learning theories which guide our instruction as teachers, students, and how it has affected the understanding of learning. After this summary one will understand what behavioral, cognitive, and constructivist learning theories look like and how the understanding of these theories are applied to learning. The summary of behaviorism and how it has affected the understanding of learning When one thinks of the word behaviorism the root word behavior presents itself. According to Webster (2010) behavior is the way a person carries, acts, or presents oneself. Add ism to the word and it becomes a doctrine and/or theory. As a result, behaviorism is the theory that the way one presents oneself can be changed. Teachers may identify with the word behaviorism as the word behavior management. This an issue that one has found to be the most probing question of teachers…what type of behavior management system should one implement in the classroom? Behaviorism is the use of extrinsic reward that results in a response, effect, and or behavior change. In behaviorism everything is a result of extrinsic. This theory pushes for some type of learning behavior change for the learner. Connectivism, classical conditioning, contagious conditioning, operant conditioning, and self regulation are the...

...Behavioral Psychiatric Assessments I would like for you to consider the behavioral health issues you have dealt with in your clinical settings up until now, and submit to the objectives assignment link 2 objectives you have set for yourself to improve your interaction with patients with behavioral health problems. And, how you plan to meet them. The behavioral health issues I dealt with this semester include: anxiety, depression, dementia, smoking cessation, and insomnia. The goal during the interaction with patients with psychiatric issues was focused on improving my communication skills when taking history and performing physical assessments. Of particular note were the differences in approach between a behavioral health patient and the non- behavioral health patient. I noticed that for a successful interaction to occur, one has to be knowledgeable and skillful in how they approach patients with depression and dementia. Dealing with the psychiatric patient and those with alcohol and drug abuse issues calls for special skills in order to effectively assess and treat the presenting conditions appropriately. This is an area that I have a goal of improving on by increasing the time spent in clinical settings that have more interactions and treatment modalities aimed at the behavioral health patient. The vastness and diversity of the behavioral health field has resulted in more awareness and a focus aimed at increasing my knowledge base on treatments and management of psychiatric...

...Health and Wellness in Native North America It is true that many of the old ways have been lost. But just as the rains restore the earth after a drought, so the power of the Great Mystery will restore the way and give it new life. We ask that this happen not just for the Red People, but for all people, that they all might live. Black Elk, Oglala, Sioux Contemporary health status of American Indians can be best viewed through the lens of various federal policies enacted over the past 500 years. These policies were developed largely in response to dramatic population losses among the indigenous peoples of America, resulting from genocidal actions of military campaigns, the lack of immunity to the diseases that accompanied European colonizers, and the assimilation efforts that destroyed tribal structures and wellness practices. Medical services were first coordinated through army physicians in the Department of War in an effort to control the spread of diseases from early reservation sites placed on or near military forts. By the twentieth century, the rapid decline of the Indigenous population, documented by the “Meriam Report” of 19281 prompted new assimilation efforts to save the first Americans. Healthcare services were re-coordinated within the Bureau of Indian Affairs and then into the Public Health Service, finally resting within the Federal Indian Health Service (IHS). Assimilation policies, however, proved to be highly destructive resulting in the...
