...limited my search to English language research articles. I arranged the resulting articles with the newest listed first and scanned through the article titles for those relating to nursing practice. The purpose of this paper is to critically review one of the articles I found during my literature search. I chose the article “Factors influencing nurses’ intentions toward the use of mobile electronic medical records” written by Hsu, Liu, Weng & Chen. Article Summary According to Hsu, et al. (2013), “The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors influencing nurses’ intentions toward the use of mobile electronic medical records, based on the Theory of Diffusion Innovations.” (p. 124) Hsu et al. first went through a literature search of their own to provide definitions of some key terms needed for the study.

...The Effects of the Reform and Opening-up Policy in China Chenqian Yu(Nina) IE204 Academic Writing III Eassy 2 03/10 The Effects of the Reform and Opening-up Policy in China China has gone through a rapid economic growth over the past three decades since the previous premier Deng Xiaoping who was a pioneer of “Socialism with Chinese characteristics” decided to reform and open to the outside world in around 1980. This is the turning-point of China’s economy and also the symbol of China entering a new era. Before this policy came out, China was a poor and backward self-sufficiency country like an isolated island in the world. The 30 years’ reform and opening-up has shifted China to an open market for the world and raised people’s living standards; meanwhile, it also caused the imbalances in China’s economy. One of the effects of this policy is that it transformed China from a self-contained economy into an open-market economy. Nowadays, the economic activities which take place in China are much more than before, so more and more multinational enterprises are coming to China, such as Adidas, Coca Cola, and Starbucks. In the meantime, according to Charles(2014), Chinese domestic companies increasingly began to invest across national borders and privatization has been more wide-spread. Before the policy was put forward, China is an autarkic country where people were not able to have multiple choices on products in the market. However, now international...

...I. INTRODUCTION Constructive deviance is becoming increasingly important in businesses today. What some people may not know is that it can bring about positive changes. Unlike much of the literature on workplace deviance which focuses on dysfunctional behavior such as antisocial behavior and workplace aggression, constructive deviants are employees who break the rules and norms but intend to benefit the organization. These individuals can play a key role in creating an organizational change and serve as future change agents. Given the increasing discussion on health care reforms, this paper explores the factors that relate to constructive deviance among physicians. Finally, practical implications and future research directions are discussed. II. Introduction Workplace deviance has generally been used to describe the following behaviors: antisocial behavior (Giacalone & Greenberg, 1997), workplace aggression (O’Leary-Kelly, Griffin & Glew, 1996), organizational retaliation (Skarlicki & Folger, 1997), and employee deviance (Robinson & Bennett, 1995). Although previous research has increased our understanding of the harmful effects of deviance within organizations, little research has examined the positive aspects of deviance. Constructive workplace deviance encompasses behaviors that violate significant organizational norms in order to contribute to the well-being of the organization (Galperin, 2003). Constructive deviance is becoming increasingly...

...Jewish Culture Although all people experience death, dying and bereavement in all cultures, everyone’s dying process is unique and different. Some people may think of dying as a physical process, but dying is an experience of the whole person and is influenced by a combination of physical, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual factors. Culture, identity and personal beliefs all have a profound impact on an individual’s choices in the context of dying process. Ethnicity, cultural differences, religion, personal beliefs, individual preferences and choices etc can all affect care needs and social practice at the end of life. People’s experiences of illness and death, as well as beliefs about the appropriate role of healers, are profoundly influenced by patient’s cultural background. This assignment will provide a brief discussion of the beliefs, customs and rituals associated with death, dying and the grieving process in the Jewish culture and discuss the associated theoretical principles of a grief and loss theorist named J. W. Worden. Also while discussing the challenges in applying this theory to the Jewish culture, in an acute care setting. Jewish cultural beliefs have developed a traditional system of mourning concerning death and burial. The Jewish community views deaths as an ending of life, rather than as a beginning of another. Jewish funeral and mourning rituals are centered around respect for the dead. The body is buried within 24-48 hours, so the soul can...

...The strategy simulation game is to provide insightful information with different scenarios which help in understanding the differences in different market structures of monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition, and perfect competition. The overall goal of the simulation games is to maximize Quasar’s profits and be competitive by making decision on strategies in dynamic market conditions. Simply, the total revenue minus the total costs is the method to calculate a firm’s profit. However, the company also has to consider how the sales price will affect the demand. The simulation game shows that when the price is set too high, the demand will be low, vice versa. When the company set the price within the average total cost curve and the demand curve, the company can expect profit and the company can expect the profit is maximized where marginal cost equal marginal revenue. In addition, the company’s strategic decision can also affect the result in total profit and overall sales. The key of the simulation is to find out how the company should react or modify its strategy when it enters different structures of market. In the monopoly market, even though the company offers unique product and dominant the market, the pricing decision can also affect the demand. The pricing scenario is to set the price at $2550.00 to receive the maximized profit of $1.29 billion where the marginal cost equals the marginal revenue. The first scenario is the company in s a process of deciding...

...1. Introduction I felt happy with my job at the bank until I had a meeting with an expert in 5s – a popular standard in organizing manufacturer. The meeting brought me a different view on manufacturing company which is considerably different from the bank. I want to do something more creative rather than following strictly to professional procedures at the bank.

With experiences in these fields, my short term goal after switching the job is middle manager in finance area. My long-term goal in the next five years is to become senior manager in that company.

We see through time where our imaginations have expended when it comes to think about Robots and what we think they will become. We used to think of Robots as multiple armed machines that could cook eggs, pour coffee, and flip eggs. These robots would mimic human behaviors and motions. Then we see cartoons of robots that gave us dreams of robot maids and robot machines that would supply us with any food of our choice, and have it fully cooked, and delivered through a tube. However, now-a-days, we have evolved to higher technology and have even greater imaginations (Niku, 2001). Although, there is one country that surpasses all when it comes to robots and robotics...
