...An Investigation into the use of cord treatments on the newborns umbilical cord and the reduction of infection. A LITERATURE REVIEW. Kathrine Hill Student Health Visitor. Bolton University. 2014. Word count: 3720. An investigation into the use of cord treatments on the new-borns umbilical cord and the reduction of infection. A Literature Review. INTRODUCTION. The purpose of this literature review is to examine the evidence surrounding umbilical cord care in the new-born and what part the use of topical treatments play (if any) in the reduction of infection to the new-born infant. The umbilical cord is a unique tissue consisting of two arteries and one vein. Wharton’s jelly surrounds the vessels. During pregnancy the umbilical cord assists the placenta by transporting nutrients and waste products to and from the fetus. (Fraser, M. et al 2009). Following delivery of the neonate the cord goes through a process were it dries out, hardens and turns black. The area goes through a process of colonization due to non-pathogenic organisms that pass from mum to baby via skin to skin contact following delivery. The umbilical vessels remain patent for several days following birth and are a susceptible site for infection. Potentially harmful organisms can be spread by cross infection, often caused by poor hand washing techniques of Healthcare workers and the infant’s carers. (Davies, S. 2008). The World Health Organisation (WHO) reports each year one third of neonatal...

...Therefore, society should move more towards inclusion as everyone has in one way or another something to contribute to society. According to Kahn (2015), there are organizational development specialists that help find ways to practice inclusion so that individuals and groups can better engage with dissimilar others without seeking to eliminate differences (Kahn, 2015). The benefit for inclusion is that people will not feel left out due to things that are out of their control, which in this case is diversity, based on their race, the color of their skin, preferences, religion, political views, gender, age, etc… Moving more towards inclusion would encourage more unity rather than separation, with the goal of helping each other. As Tariq (2014) mentioned in his video, the only way to beat the machine is to play by different rules unapologetically claiming back beliefs, via uncompromising ways and in a respectful manner (Tariq, 2014). On the other hand, Mwangi (2014) in his video defined various versions of cowardice, he said goodbye to the coward that would keep his mouth shut, and welcomed the smart coward that would initially stand alone despite, the repercussions that he would face after only to find himself being supported by others (Mwangi, 2014). Sometimes this is all that it will take to start working towards inclusion either collectively as a group or individually, which turns collective for the common good. Some ways to move towards inclusion also include not being in fear of challenging...

...“Separation of Church and State ... and School” Should religion be restricted from public schools? Even in 2014, religion in public schools continues to be an intense elusive issue. The right to freedom of religion is so central to democracy that it was embedded in the First Amendment of our U.S. Constitution. Our Founding Fathers wisely endorsed strict separation of church and state to ensure religious freedom for all faiths and individuals. The First Amendment states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ...” (U.S. Constitution – December 15, 1791). These two clauses promote free practice of religion by Americans without state interference. Compliance and adherence with the separation of church and state must be enforced in the nation's public schools, yet religion should not be completely restricted from the public school system. Not supporting religion is extremely important in the public school setting because of the specific vulnerability and sensitivity of students. Most children hold teachers and administration at a high level of expectation, viewing them as significant authority figures. Furthermore, children are highly gullible to coercion. Introducing religion in the public schools create these significant risk. In addition, American public schools are growing increasingly diverse. Schools must institute special consideration to the fact that many schoolchildren belong to minority religions...

...unified union through his ideas. He includes points over having parties and how they could turn into separation. He also includes point over having a moral society, using money in proper ways, as well as the way the country should interact with foreign countries. He formed a basis of government and the basis of the constitution to be formed for the future country. Within each part of his speech he goes over many important points that could potentially occur within the forming country. In one of his points he tries to explain the dangers of having parties within the nation. The separation of the nation could only break the union apart. He says, “The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual;” George uses this quote to show the evil that come out of a man when given parties that separate. The separation of parties make men feel that they are stronger than others rather than finding each other as equals. The separation could weaken the government rather than strengthen it....

...Myocardial Infarction Mortality 1.0 Introduction In the UK, about 838,000 men and 394,000 women have had a myocardial infarction (MI) at some point in their lives, (NICE clinical guideline 48, 2007). The latest statistics from the British Heart Foundation state that approximately 227,000 people suffer from an acute MI (heart attack) each year (British Heart Foundation Statistics Website). To put this figure in to perspective this equates to one person every 2 minutes. Mortality is at approximately 30% which is 68,100 deaths in the UK per year. The National Service Framework (NSF) for Coronary Heart disease (CHD) is a 10-year programme published by the Department of Health in 2000 and has set key standards for the prevention and treatment of CHD. Access to the right treatment for those who suffer from an AMI, is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality and improve clinical outcomes. People with diabetes mellitus constitute a group of patients who have a higher risk of having an MI and also a poorer prognosis post infarction. The higher death and complication rates appear to be multifactorial but a significant finding in the Diabetes Mellitus Insulin-Glucose Infusion in Acute Myocardial Infarction (DIGAMI) Trial showed to reduce one year mortality by 30% (Malberg et al., 1995). It’s recommended 1.1 Primary Objective To determine the relationship between HbA1c and prognosis of patients in East Lancashire having a myocardial infarction. 1.2 Secondary Objectives To assess...

...misinterpretation of where the capital comes from. Earned capital referred to as the value of a company’s assets which is accumulated via their money-making operations. This will help to facilitate a clear separation of the operational capital that comes from the profit making operations. The majority of investors will be concerned with the earned capital versus the paid in capital, as the earned capital reflects the earning potential of a company. Owners’ equity is referred to as the vested interest that both common stockholders and preferred stockholders have in a company. Stockholders are the people that have paid-in capital to a company in order to provide funding that is to be used for the operations of a company. It is vital to keep paid-in capital separate from the earned capital of a company. Paid-in capital comes from the sale of capital stock whether it be from the stock markets or in the form of shareholder shares. Earned capital comes from the profits accumulated from the sale of goods and services. Both capitals are very vital to the growth and expansion of a company’s operations. However, investors find the need to separate the two source of capital because for various reasons. Kimmel, Donald, Jerry, and Weygandt (2010, p. 577). One of the reasons for the separation of the two sources of capital is...

...Without the structure civilization provides, mankind naturally drifts toward disorder. When the rules of everyday society go away, people can give in to their deepest and darkest desires without thought of consequences. In the 20th century novels Brave New World and Lord of the Flies, Aldous Huxley and William Golding use the martyr archetype to show how civilization controls human evil. Without civilization, humans gravitate towards violence and chaos. The presence of a structural society limits the brutality of humans. In Brave New World, Huxley utilizes the martyr archetype John Savage to show the controlling nature of civilization. When John questions how humans can show heroism in such a deeply regulated world, Mustapha Mond tells him...

...Segregation is a form of separation in the actual terms of what race is. Which includes the matter of inclusion and exclusion. Forty seven years ago the civil rights act was passed to end racial discrimination in America. A little time after that was settled, the 12th amendment looked passed the discrimination, against “Black Power”, or even just the black american race in general. And then allowed the voting rights for every man. Though there is still lots of areas with racial tension, the only thing we can do is hope, that our generation will try to be a whole bringing awareness, and be a catalyst to change. In the year 1914, laws effectively created two separate societies, one black and one whites. The separation was so crucial that individuals of other opposite race couldn’t be transported, walked with, talked to, sat near, gain knowledge, or even receive the same hospital services. A man by the name Jim Crow made some laws that required schools, facilities, water fountains and trains to be separated for whites and blacks. Then which meant that black people were legally required to attend separate schools and churches, and to use public restrooms only if they were marked “Colored only”. They were to eat on separate sections of restaurants, and when it came to transportation, they were to sit in the rear area. In 1954 the United States supreme court struck down on segregation in the nation’s public school. They...

Sioux Falls School District This federal case dealt with Religious Holidays. The Sioux Falls school policy read, “Music, art, literature, and drama having religious themes or basis are permitted as part of the curriculum for school sponsored activities and programs if presented in a prudent and objective manner and as a traditional part of the cultural and religious heritage of the particular holiday.” However, the ACLU sued the school district over this policy, but ended up losing at both the local and federal level. The Supreme Court favored the inclusion of recognition of a holiday. Stone v. Graham This case dealt with a Kentucky law that required the Ten Commandments to be posted in each classroom.

...Did you know? You share 96.4% of your DNA with a furry, red-haired, roaring creature with an arm span of 7.5 feet (2.3 meters)! These creatures are known as orangutans, and you’ve most likely have seen these social creatures at your local zoo, but have you ever noticed the key inclusions Orangutan enclosures need to operate successfully? Based on my data, Orangutan enclosures need to contain mentally and physically stimulating environments, a simulated “natural” lifestyle, and a system of self-separation in order to keep their inhabitants happy and healthy. Of the time we observed the Orangutans, they spent over ¼, 26.25% to be exact, of their time manipulating objects and over ⅖ of their time walking and climbing around their enclosure....

...high-temperature sugar solutions readily form sugar crystals on the surface of objects placed in the solution. For gases that are dissolved in liquids, however, the trend is just the opposite. Cooler temperatures increase the solubility of gases in liquids, and higher temperatures decrease the solubility of gases. An example of the effect of temperature on dissolved gases can be found in the loss of dissolved oxygen in lakes or streams during extremely hot weather, a condition that results in the death of fish. In physical chemistry, saturation is the point at which a solution of a substance can dissolve no more of that substance and additional amounts of it will appear as a separate phase (as a precipitate if solid or as effervescence or inclusion if gaseous). Factors Affecting Saturation · The solubilities of ionic solutions increase with an increase in temperature, with the exceptions of compounds containing anions. · Finely divided solids have greater solubilities. · In contrast to the solubility rate, which depends primarily on temperature, the rate of crystallization...

...Soldiers often feel alienated when they return from war because their experiences make them feel out of place and they struggle in talking about the war. Detachment or alienation is shown through stories as they help people cope with emotions without directly dealing with reality. In “The Things They Carried”, the author, Tim O’Brien, uses a familiar tone to explain the innermost emotions of soldiers who feel alienated and separated from society when they return home from the war. O’Brien addresses alienation when Norman Bowker returns home from war in the chapter “Speaking of Courage.” A feeling of separation from society is present in the quote “The town could not talk, and would not listen. “How’d you like to hear about the war?” he might have asked, but the place could only blink and shrug” (O’Brien 137). O’Brien’s familiar tone can be seen in this chapter through the...
