...the other hand, argue that naming is constitutive. Critically analyze these competing perspectives and the arguments that are made in support of them. Humanism is essentially a belief system that is dictated by the way in which humans themselves, react, produce, and perform things. It is “the basic value system of humans…providing the fact that humanism is a human-centered system of meaning making”(Fuery & Mansfield, 2000; 209). In reference to the proposed argument, a humanist would see an object as a production of the human, and the language associated with that object is merely for convenience sake, to reiterate what said object is. This argument is reaffirmed by the concept of the existential self. This provides us with the view that we are separate and distinguishable from other objects and other people, which in turn suggests that whilst we interact with other humans and objects we are able to distinguish what and whom we are interacting with based on our own personal human development. “Humanisms are based on creating a system of meaning with man as its centre.”( R.Baltmann, 1982. P174) This is of course ‘man’ in the most general sense, as a collective. In order for people to gain meaning from such individualistic societies generalisations need to be made. It is impossible for a society to create an easily understandable meaning, which fully relates to its entire people. However through creating a general meaning by which most can relate it enables others to interoperate...

...Academic success in high school is determined by a wide range of factors. For some students, they may not have all of the perfect components, but they rise above their difficulties to have success. On the other hand, there are students who have every positive stepping stone possible, and yet they do not meet a high level of academic achievement in high school. These are some of the factors that can impact academic success in high school. Students, who succeed, usually have some combination of these factors in their background. Determination Whether a student is gifted academically or not, a consistent factor is personal determination. Students who are invested personal in a personal goal, whether it is simply graduating from high school or going on to post-secondary school, generally have higher levels of academic achievement. Take the student’s determination to achieve out of the equation. Work ethic A key component to success is a student’s work ethic. Students who are willing to put extra hours in to study and prepare for projects and presentations tend to improve their skills and academic abilities. Students who take less challenging classes or are satisfied with less than stellar work often will have the result of average academic success. Home life As much as teachers, classes and schools are factors in student academic success, parents and guardians hold an equally important role. This includes having adult figures who are positive role models who value the importance...

The median nerve controls sensations to the palm side of the thumb and fingers as well as impulses to some small muscles in the hand that allow the fingers and thumb to move. The carpal tunnel is a narrow, rigid passageway of ligament and bones at the base of the hand. It houses the median nerve and tendons. It becomes thick from irritated tendons or other swelling narrows the tunnel and causes the median nerve to be compressed.(Brian) This can cause weakness, numbness, and pain in the hand and wrist, that moves up the arm.

...Improving Hand Hygiene Practices 1.0 Introduction Health-related infections account for about 100,000 deaths per annum in the United States. A world-wide systematic review revealed that the occurrence of health-related infections range from between 1.7 to 23.6% per 100 patients. Hospital costs inherently associated with the healthcare-related infections range between 30 to 34 billion US dollars; yet these infections can be prevented through hand hygiene. Critical epidemiologic evidence supports the claims that hand hygiene reduces the transmission of healthcare-related infections. Although it is hard to link hand hygiene and the improvement of healthcare-related infections, organizations such as the Joint Commission, World Health Organization among others, acknowledge the essence of hand hygiene as a universal guideline to reduce healthcare-acquired infections. As such, this proposal focuses on interventions to improve compliance with hand hygiene as a pathway to reduce healthcare-associated infections, rather than the efficacy of hand hygiene to reduce healthcare-associated infections. 1.1 Statement of Purpose Compliance with hand hygiene practices among healthcare workers, nurses, physicians and patients has been low, averaging at approximately 39%. A study conducted in the year 2001 that was aimed at improving hand hygiene compliance and interventions found that there was poor compliance across hospital unit types and other settings. In particular, workers, nurses, physicians...

The side stream tobacco smoke contains toughly 7,000 different chemicals that can be harmful to a nonsmoker and a estimate 70% of those chemicals can lead to cancer. Side stream smoke has a higher concentration of cancer causing agents known as carcinogens. This type of chemicals can deadly to non-smokers when the levels of second hand smoke is consume over a period of time. Second hand smoke has been associated with lung cancer and some studies have link second hand smoke to breast cancer. Researchers have shown second hand smoke may be linked to lymphoma, leukemia, and brain tumors in children.

...Passive and Assistive Range of Motion Exercises Range of Motion Exercises Range of motion (ROM) exercises are done to preserve flexibility and mobility of the joints on which they are performed. These exercises reduce stiffness and will prevent or at least slow down the freezing of your joints as the disease progresses and you move less often. Range of motion is the term that is used to describe the amount of movement you have at each joint. Every joint in the body has a "normal" range of motion. Joints maintain their normal range of motion by being moved. It is therefore very important to move all your joints every day. Stiff joints can cause pain and can make it hard for you to do your normal daily activities. Each person with ALS needs a program of exercise tailored to his or her individual needs and abilities. With a prescription your doctor can either send you to an outpatient clinic to see a Physical Therapist or have one come to your home to help you design a personalized exercise program. The therapist will see you until you or your caregiver are independent with a home exercise program that you can follow through with daily. It is important to remember that as the disease progresses, the type of ROM exercises you will need will change. It is important to be proactive when this occurs and ask your doctor to write you another prescription to see a therapist so your home exercise program can be modified. There are different kinds of ROM exercises. There are stretching...

...that you can do to hinder harmful and infectious germs from entering your body. One of the main ways to stay away from germs and other harmful microscopic organisms is to wash your hands. Although it seems useless, our hands play a significant role in the transportation of germs from one place to another because of the amount we use our hands. Simple things like washing your hands before and after eating, when using the restroom or whenever your hands look or feel dirty, will give a better chance of staying away from sickness. Spreading awareness about the importance of washing your hands is key, and the focus should be on children. To spread awareness about proper hand washing, I went to Calvary Chapel School to interact with the children in kindergarten. I started off the presentation with a short story about a boy and girl who were playing with some toys. The toys had germs on them and after playing with the toys; the boy and the girl went to go eat lunch. The girl remembered to wash her hands before eating, but the boy, however, forgot. After a couple days, the girl was fine but the boy had a cough and other cold symptoms. The next time the girl and the boy were playing with toys, after they both washed there hands, and they both didn’t get sick. After giving the short story, I passed out a flyer with information regarding washing your hands and germs to all the kids in the class. Then I proceeded to briefly describe to the children about germs and what they actually are...

...GROWTH OF BACTERIA INTRODUCTION Is there a difference in germ killing when using antibacterial soap or hand sanitizer? When using hand sanitizer or antibacterial soap one is more likely to have a lower bacteria count than the other. Other factors contribute to the less bacteria count like the amount of time one washes their hands and the amount of soap one uses. If two groups were to wash their hands one with hand sanitizer and the other with antibacterial soap then the group who washed their hands with hand sanitizer should have a lower bacteria count. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the laboratory located at Chaffey College, two groups were formed to prove that the hypothesis was correct. The first group would use antibacterial soap while the second group used hand sanitizer. Each group would wash their hands four different times, following the rules that were created. Before starting the procedure each group had to get a quad for each individual. Once each person in the group had their quad, a marker was used to mark outside the quad with four different parts. Quad one would have the thumb print before the hands was washed. Quad two would be printed with the thumb after the first wash and this same procedure would go on until all of the parts of the quad had a thumb print. Group A would wet their hands for five seconds once they had counted five seconds the group would obtain the antibacterial soap using only a small amount. When getting the soap the group should compare the...

...Introduction to Mudras What mudras are and how to use them. Mudras are positions of the body that have some kind of influence on the energies of the body, or your mood. Mostly the hands and fingers are held in some position, but the whole body may be part of the mudra as well. The most well-known mudras are probably the ones performed while meditating. One sits in lotus position (or with crossed legs) and either puts one's hands on the knees, the tips of the thumb and index finger joining, or in the lap, the fingers of the right hand resting on the left palm. But also the christian crossing of the fingers for prayer is a mudra, as is the "Namaste" indian greeting gesture (that is also used while praying), where the hands are held in front of the chest, the palms touching. The crossing of the hands puts one's attention within, while opening the heart. The indian greeting gesture puts one into a mood of respect. Some mudras are performed spontaneously by many people, like the Hakini mudra, where the tips of all fingers from the right hand touch the corresponding fingertips from the left. Mudras have been in use in the East for thousands of years, particularly in Buddhism. Buddha statues often have the hands in certain hand positions. They have been used as a spiritual practice (and still are), as a way on the path to enlightenment. However they're also used for physical ailments. Using Mudras To use a mudra, keep it for at least a couple of minutes. It is usually more effective...

...Running Head: Hand Washing Policy and Procedure Hand Washing and Hand Hygiene Jennifer Peltz Clinical-Policy and Procedure Marie Michaels March 9, 2010 The main medical purpose of washing hands is to cleanse the hands of pathogens, including bacteria and/or viruses, and also chemicals which can cause personal harm or disease. This is especially important for people who handle food or work in the medical field, but it is also an important practice for the general public. People can become infected with respiratory illnesses such as influenza or the common cold, for example, if they don't wash their hands before touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Hand washing is the single most important method of preventing the spread of infections and disease. Medical hand washing is for a minimum of 15 seconds using generous amounts of soap and water or gel to lather and rub each part of the hands. Hands should be rubbed together with digits interlocking. If there is debris under fingernails, a bristle brush may be used to remove it. Since germs may remain in the water on the hands it is important to rinse well and wipe dry with a clean towel. After drying, the paper towel should be used to turn off the water, and open any exit door if necessary. This avoids re-contaminating the hands from those surfaces. The policy and procedure book at the VA Hospital is located at the nurses station. It is easy to find and accessible for...

...the 18th century and it presented the argument as to why a free market economy is so beneficial. Smith's theory of the invisible hand was used as a metaphor for self interest which was a key focus in the work of writing. Smith felt that when people tried to maximize their personal gains in a free market they would also be benefiting the economy more so than if they were to act for the good of others. "By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry, he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this...led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention...by pursing his own interests he frequently promotes that of society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it.”1 With faith put in the driving force of self interest via the invisible hand theory it has been depicted by many economists to be the best way to steady an economy under laissez-faire conditions. Other than a brief showing in the later party of the 18th century the invisible hand theory made its presenc felt during the Industrial Revolution when many economists argued for the invisible hand which was very appropriate for the development of society at that time. However, recently, the theory invisible hand theory no longer leads to economic prosperity and innovation. The thought of rational self interest guiding economics to success...
