The Pros And Cons Of The NEP

Submitted By
Words 547
Pages 3
Studies show that the NEP has had positive affects with reducing or preventing the spread of blood borne diseases. However, the federal government does not fund any programs, and allows the states to finance and manage their own state NEP. C. Aaron McNeece and Diana M. DiNitto (2012) stated that the federal government still has not lifted the ban on the use of federal funds for the NEF, saying that it prefers to leave it to states and communities to decide the issue. Allowing states to create and manage their own NEP, may influence other states to draft an early version of a needle exchange policy for their state in the future. Those who are in favor may influence other health professionals and can argue that the NEP does have its advantages. M. Mofizul Islam (2010) stated that the NEP is likely to be further cost-saving and more cost-effective. A client who spends money on exchanging needles will pay much less, than a visit or stay in the hospital. However, those who are against the …show more content…
According to the Public Health Policy & Special Projects Unit (2012), the DPDP allowed registered pharmacies to sell up to 10 syringes to anyone over the age 18. It also created a new crime for the improper discard or disposal of a hypodermic needle or syringe upon the grounds of a playground, beach, park, or any public or private elementary, vocation, junior high or high school. A knowing violation of this prohibition is punishable by a fine, $200-$2000, a 6 month imprisonment or both. An SB-1159 Evaluation Report (2010) stated that numerous additional studies have found that improved syringe access reduces the rate of HIV transmission, without increasing rates of drug use, drug injection, or crime. When drug users have access to needles and syringes, they have a low risk spreading blood borne

Con la introducción de estos nuevos métodos se permitió incrementar fuertemente la productividad de los campos, logrando satisfacer la creciente demanda mundial por alimentos. Hacia los años 1930-1940 surgen los primeros movimientos en contra de la agricultura industrializada. La principal característica de los productos orgánicos es la ausencia de productos no naturales en sus procesos de elaboración. Esto no tuvo contrapesos hasta mediados del siglo 20, en donde surge un movimiento en estados unidos en contra de la agricultura industrial. En chile fue hacia la década de 1980 en donde los primeros agricultores comienzan a producir productos orgánicos con fines comerciales, de forma muy primitiva ya que no existían certificaciones para definir si un producto era orgánico o no. Tradicionalmente al hablar de productos orgánicos en chile se trata de la producción de frutas, hortalizas, hierbas medicinales y uva vinífera. Hoy en día la demanda mundial por productos orgánicos está...

However, while there is growing investment in the research and development required to bring CDU to the market, to date there has been very little systematic research into public perceptions of the technology. The current research reports upon the findings of a series of six qualitative focus groups (and an associated questionnaire) held with members of the UK public in order to discuss the perceived benefits and risks of CDU technology. The findings reveal that public awareness of CDU is currently very low and that there is a desire to learn more about the technology. While our participants did, on average, appear to develop an overall positive attitude towards CDU, this attitude was tentative and was associated with a number of caveats. The implications for the findings in terms ...

Diversity: Business Case vs Moral Case

...Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the business case for ethnic diversity in the British National Health Service (NHS). It seeks to contextualise issues around diversity within the current political environment, and identify the barriers to diversity in the NHS. The business case has been very strongly argued as justification for introducing both managing diversity and equal opportunity initiatives - here the paper examines the inconsistencies of using that argument, and maintains that the only justification worth presenting is that based on (deontological) moral arguments. Design/methodology/approach - The paper is conceptual in nature exploring the respective cases for diversity using a broad range of the available literature brought together as part of a rapid evidence assessment. It does so in order to make some far-reaching claims about the future justifications for active diversification of senior management in key public sector institutions. Findings - The distinctions between the business and moral cases are false, in that both have ethical reference points. However, the business case is not only difficult to translate to public sector institutions; there are also evidential problems with its adoption. In light of this the conclusion here is that the moral (deontological) case is the only one that has any long term value for proponents of diversity. Originality/value - The value of this paper is that it examines the confusion that surrounds different cases...

...22000 ESSENTIAL WORDS FOR IELTS AND TOEFL Cũng có 1 chút kinh nghiệm về kỳ thi IELTS, nên hôm nay chia sẻ cùng mọi người.  Muốn đạt điểm cao ở kỳ thi IELTS, có 1 điểm rất quan trọng mà Bear nghĩ ai cũng biết: LUYỆN TẬP THƯỜNG XUYÊN.  Tuy nhiên, cũng có 1 điểm cực kỳ quan trọng mà đa số thường không chú trọng lắm. Đó là phần từ vựng dạng ACADEMIC (học thuật). Nên để đạt điểm cao trong kỳ thi IELTS, ôn luyện từ trong quyển 22.000 từ THI TOEFL/IELTS của Harold Levine là cực kỳ cần thiết. Mỗi ngày chỉ cần học 3 từ, thì lượng từ vựng của bạn sẽ tăng đáng kể.  Số từ vựng này giúp bạn trong cả 4 phần thi LISTENING / SPEAKING / READING / WRITING.  Ví dụ: Nếu bạn dùng từ: SIMULTANEOUSLY thay cho từ AT THE SAME TIME, hay PORTABLE thay cho từ EASY TO CARRY hay MITIGATE thay cho từ LESSEN … trong phần WRITING và SPEAKING thì điểm của bạn sẽ cao chót vót không ngờ luôn đấy. Chưa kể, nhất là trong phần READING, những từ trong quyển sách này xuất hiện nhiều lắm, và cả LISTENING nữa chứ.  Sự lợi hại của quyển sách này, chắc chắn chỉ khi nào học rồi, bạn mới thấy rõ.  Quyển này (nhà xuất bản TPHCM) đã hết bán rồi. Nên nếu bạn nào cần phôtô thì liên lạc Uyên Uyên: UyenUyen@englishtime.us  Tuy nhiên mỗi tuần Bear vẫn sẽ post lên đây 20 từ trong quyển sách đó, để nếu bạn nào ở xa, vẫn có thể học được.  Đương nhiên mỗi người có 1 cách học riêng và trí nhớ khác nhau. Có người nhìn qua là nhớ liền, có người nhìn hoài vẫn không nhớ, nên Bear suggest...
