...To Understand Islam and how it is being practiced and envisioned in the East and the West, we must know Prophet Muhammad’s personality and his beliefs. The foundation of his message was the belief in the unity the only one God. “And there is none that could be comparable unto Him” (Quran QXP 112:4). The West is an established civilization with a hierarchy of government that the majority of citizens trust to represent their ideas and wishes. However, the Muslim nations are not democratic, and most, if not all, are authoritarian and not representative of Islam. For this reason and among others, teaching’s of Islam is practiced differently in different countries and cultures, especially the in the East vs the West. We must also consider culture and how it influences the practice of laws of Islam. For example, women wear different forms of burka in different regions of the world, such as the one in Saudi Arabia, and this by itself represents repression of women to the eyes of others and thought of as strict laws of Islam. In fact, the burka has been worn 1000’s year before Islam was founded. Therefore, culture and politics has be separated from the practice of Islam in order to understand the true meaning of the religion. One of the main factors that adds to having a different image of Islam is that many do not understand the differences and similarities between Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are monotheistic religions and they all started and...

Although there are many benefits to returning to school to earn a graduate degree, it is also very challenging” (Kramer, 2007, p. 158.). This essay discusses various challenges faced by graduate students, and strategies to overcome the challenges, from personal perspective.

I want to complete my program within two years and find a job in Nursing/Informatics and go up in the ladder. When considering my short-term goal, I want to keep my GPA above 3.5, and acquire as much knowledge from this program by using the resources available.

Shared information allows for ideas, data, experience, and experiments to be discussed allowing the organization probability to change, expand, and become successful while utilizing different techniques and processes. “A learning organization follows the horizontal structure which disbands the vertical structure by flattening the distance between managers at the top of the organization and putting emphasis on self directed teams, which include members from several functional areas creating less boundaries” (Daft, 2010, p.31). In a learning organization there are different departments and the roles within the department can continually change. Information within a learning organization provides communication with staff as well as the population it is serving. A learning organization promotes change, improvement, involvement, and awareness.

De SEH is er namelijk op gericht om patiënten medische hulp te verlenen bij trauma’s en acute aandoeningen. De SEH is daarmee een onderdeel van een keten van acute zorg, waar ook verloskundigen, huisartsen, ambulance-diensten, meldkamers en mobiele medische teams deel aan nemen. Vanwege de acute zorgvraag van patiënten op de SEH, dient een SEH tijdige en efficiënte zorg te leveren, terwijl zij juist ook nog belast worden met overbezette, stressvolle en uitdagende situaties (Ben-Assuli, 2014). Medewerkers op de SEH kunnen hierdoor een andere informatie- en registratiebehoefte hebben dan medewerkers die op reguliere verpleegafdelingen werken (Ayatollahi et al., 2013). De patiëntenpopulatie van de SEH is namelijk niet beperkt tot ziekteverschijnselen van één specialisme, maar de zorgvraag is juist zeer divers en specialisme overstijgend. De spoedeisende hulp afdeling vereist hierdoor ook een goede samenwerking met veel individuen, zoals het ambulancepersoneel...

...October 28, 2013 Argumentative Essay ADHD and Medicine for Children When you think of zombies what do you imagine? Do you imagine green, bloody, brain-eating monsters or small, skinny, sleep deprived children? In many cases this is what ADHD medicine turns many children into – zombie-like creatures. Stephanie’s daughter, Hannah, had always been a handful. Even as a preschooler, she would tear through the house like a tornado, shouting, roughhousing, and climbing on the furniture. Nothing seemed to have Hannah’s attention for very long. She would run away in the grocery store or in the mall. It was a full-time job parenting Hannah. Stephanie thought that her little girl was a normal child that got overly excited sometimes. Hannah’s second grade teacher began to notice how hard it was for her to calm Hannah down when she got too excited in class, so she talked to Stephanie about Hannah’s inattentiveness and disruptive behavior. “It was a struggle to get her to do simple tasks such as, homework, coloring, and brushing her teeth. She was so energetic and hyper all of the time. She couldn’t stay focused on anything for long. She would get annoyed and move on to the next thing that caught her attention,” Stephanie says. Her concerns lead her to Hannah’s pediatrician who recommended an evaluation for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADHD is a common behavioral disorder that affects an estimated eight to ten percent of school-age children. Boys are about three times...

...came to represent “a larger scope that reflected the evolution of application integration beyond manufacturing” (Sheilds and Mureell, 2005). According to Anurag (2009), MRP evolved into ERP as managers noticed that ‘routings’ and capacity planning activity had become essential parts of the software architecture. ERP was firstly introduced by Gartner Group Inc in 1990s, generally defined as a process by which a company manages and integrates different parts or areas of its business, for instance, purchasing, inventory, sales, marketing, finance, human resources and so on. In this essay, we will firstly, illustrate the origin and development of ERP and then, investigate how and why it emerged and diffused in 1990s. After that, intended and unintended effects of ERP will be evaluated. Finally, the conclusion will be drawn and recommendation of future research will be given. The main objective of this essay is to learn ERP in all aspects and put efforts to evaluate it. In order to lower total costs in the entire supply chain, save throughput time, reduce inventory, provide better delivery and also satisfy customers, ERP became more inclusive to solve practical problems. By the mid-1990s, ERP was enriched to be more substantiated, including accounting, maintenance, human-resource components and so on.

Although ‘language learning’ is considered less important than language acquisition, most of what is learned has been coming from the formal teaching in school. It is also said that the acquisition of grammatical structures follows a ‘natural order’ which is predictable. For a given language, some grammatical structures tend to be acquired early while others late. It can be derived that language learning could also be predictable and that grammatical structures...

...Medicine: A New Era of Health Care Jessica Contreras University of Phoenix Health Care Organizations and Delivery Systems HCS/531 Lori Walker February 22, 2015 Telemedicine: A New Era of Health Care As healthcare evolves and enters a new era, we are faced with consumer demands for care, reduction of costs, increase in quality services, and customer satisfaction. Innovation is on the horizon. 58% of Americans indicated that increased funding for medical and health research is essential for their future health and economic prosperity, and 63% expressed their willingness to pay a modest amount in additional taxes to fund medical research (Shi, 2012. p168). Leading to the evolution and fast growing pace of telemedicine. For the purpose of my essay, I am going to focus on telemedicine. The term or product "telemedicine" is defined as distance medicine; it employs the use of telecommunications technology for medical diagnosis and patient care when distance separates the provider and client. It eliminates the requirement for face-to-face contact between the examining physician and the patient. It enables a generalist to consult a specialist when a patient's illness and diagnosis are complete (Shi, 2012). To meet the current and future demands of health care, telemedicine has been growing over the past years becoming a paradigm of medicine. Through the evolution of this model, we have enhanced the ability to reach out to patients. Accessibility, cost containment, and efficiency appear...
