...Becoming a Magnet institution is no easy task. Years of hard work and results are needed in preparation to become a Magnet designated hospital, but the work behind the doors is extremely grueling. In 1990 the first Magent Hospital was recognized by the ANCC , The University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle, WA. Throughout the Magnet process we hear words such as “Shared governance, empowerment, Transformational leadership. All these words mean that the power should start from the bottom up, not from the top down. The purpose of this essay is to give a brief overview of the magnet model and how this model changes how an organization operates day to day. Overview of the Magnet Designation A Magnet hospital is one which is accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) which is a subsidiary of the American Nurses Assosiation. (give credit). This organization complies and exemplifies the ideals of nursing service and care throughout the continuium of nursing. Most of these Magnet recognized hospitals go through a rigorous credentialing process. As aforementioned, Magnet facilities give power to the nursing staff and encourage them voice their concerns without fear of being reprimanded. A Magnet hospital begins with the vision to empower the staff in the organization in order to provide patient centered care and optimal outcomes. This model supports professional growth and encourages nurses to become certified in their field of practice (ANCC)...

...In today’s world, smart phones play an important role for many people and businesses. People use smart phones because it allows them to do many tasks on the go, checking e-mail, viewing bank statements and balances even social networking. For many it has also become a status symbol. To own the latest iPhone or Android is no longer about just function, many of the phones features are never even understood or used. It is about the bragging rights. To stand amongst your friends and family and hold up the shiny new phone and feel superior. The real question though, is are these new phones really better for us, or are they making us better targets for identity theft, privacy invasion and hacking attempts. There have been several changes to phone technology since the cell phone was invented in the 1970’s and used the analog system of sending information. The analog system was unencrypted and could be intercepted by anyone with common electronic devices available at Radio Shack. Next was iDen (Integrated Digital Enhanced Network), which used digital waves instead of analog. It has evolved into what we know now as Nextel’s Push-to-Talk feature. More secure than analog, but still easy to intercept and decode. TDMA (Time Division Media Access) was implemented by AT&T in the 1990’s. It featured a voice security that enabled encryption on your phone based on your voice. However if you enabled it, your phone would not work because AT&T never installed the software on their...

Craig Volden Claremont Graduate University and University of Michigan Existing evidence of a race to the bottom in welfare benefits may be an artifact of inflation and internally fo? cused state policy adjustments. De? clines in real benefits due to inflation lead to the appearance of high ben? efit "welfare magnets" cutting their payments more dramatically than lower benefit states and to a correla? tion in benefit changes across the states. This article argues that a more accurate specification of welfare politics focuses on the presence or absence of actual legislated payment increases in the face of inflation....

...house reporter to discuss his newly evolved views toward gay marriage. His interview was candid, it was spontaneous, and it set off all kinds of alarms across the societal landscape of America. An article that was recently published The New York Times details this interview, during which our President came out said that he thinks that gay people should have the right to marry. The topic of gay marriage is a massive social marker, one to surely start a discussion no matter which way you see it. The nation is seemingly divided on the topic, an opinion which will seem to sway a few percentage points here and there depending on the temperature of the society at that particular time (Calimes, 2012). By the President coming out with these statements he was he was not only literally making a statement but figuratively as well. One of the best ways to analyze this event from a sociologist’s point of view is to observe the symbolic interaction theory. Although this theory is mainly focused on gathering data from events that are observed at the micro level it can also be applied in a macro senses as well. This theory states that the behaviors of a society are based upon social interactions that a particular society has with itself (Crossman). Even though our president made his statements to a reporter and not to each and every one of us individually, the meaning...

...Kyuwon Kyung A97020738 Professor Magana Poli 113A Date Explain magnetic hegemony When a civilization depicts to extend its cultural, social, economic, and political influence over other nations within the international community, Hegemony is formed. Between the periods of 600 to 1450 CE, one nation to entirely dominate the globe was impossible for due to the distance issues, and they did not have the resources and the ability to communicate to support empires to maintain their conquered lands and people. Such empires like, Mongol Empire and Islamic caliphates' inability to control their large territories caused the empires to fall. Therefore, due to the obstacles the empires faced, an empire with great power could best occupy a strong regional hegemony during this time period. China was the nation with the most powerful and wealthy empire of them all which this nation extended its regime over most of Asia. As Professor Magana mentioned during his lecture, magnetic hegemony “is the East Asian theory’s underlying idea of practice of International Relations” (Professor...

...June 14, 2014 to February 22, 2015 at the Bowers Museum chronicles approximately two thousand years of aesthetic representations of the horse in Chinese and Japanese culture. The prominence of the horse to Chinese and Japanese art, on the one hand, demonstrates the extent to which the horse functions as a crucial element of these societies, both on a practical level, present in the lives of these people, and on the level of the symbolic, representing various norms and motifs fundamental to these societies. The choice of the horse as object for artistic representation demonstrates the aesthetic beauty of the horse, making it such a consistent choice for the themes of artists from these cultures. From another perspective, however, these two points are thoroughly interrelated in the long tradition...

...CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION The global focus on terrorism and security may have geared up following the 9/11 attacks in the USA. The risk of terrorist attack can perhaps never be eliminated, but sensible steps can be taken to reduce the risk. The issue here is how seriously do the governments take the threat of terrorism…Post-Limburg, we cannot continue to hope for the best and ignore the lessons. Our Prime Minister Manmohan Singh also mentioned in a speech last year that Indian soldiers will soon have robots assisting them to counter terrorist attack. We are yet to hear more on that thought. The word “robot” was first used in a 1921 play titled R.U.R.: Rossum’s Universal Robots, by Czechoslovakian writer Karel Capek. Robot is a Czech word meaning “worker.” Merriam-Webster defines robot as “a machine that looks like a human being and perform various complex acts; a device that automatically performs complicated, often repetitive tasks; a mechanism guided by automatic controls.” ISO describes a robot as “an automatically controlled reprogrammable, multipurpose manipulator programmable in three or more axes, which may be either fixed in place or mobile for use in industrial automation applications. “ Yet, all these definition do give us a rough idea about what comprises a robot, which needs to sense the outside world and act accordingly. There are motors, pulleys, gears, gearbox, levers, chains, and many more mechanical systems, enabling locomotion. There are sound, light, magnetic...

Contingent Leaders, a model to follow? 7. Conclusion Introduction This report reviews and examines the theories behind leadership; identifying and analysing the concept of leadership and leaders from an analytical perspective. Some of the key points will focus on areas I have particular disputes with. Areas such as: • What is leadership? • Who is a leader? • Key Theories of Leadership • The Charismatic Leaders and their leadership • Contingent Leaders, a model to follow? These are the key points I will address in this report taking an analytical perspective into the idea of a leader being thought of as caring and developing followers. 2 WHAT IS LEADERSHIP? I believe the actual concept of leadership is intangible; this is due to the reliance on the members of the group the “Leader” has to try and influence to reach its target goal. Therefore Leadership is commonly defined as the process of influencing the activities of an organized group in its efforts towards goal setting and goal achievement (Buchanan and Huczynski. 1985, 2010). Leadership appears to be a critical ingredient in effectiveness; a process of social persuasion in which one can enlist the aid and support...
