The central bank Goals, targets and instruments Historic goals of central banks The central banks of different countries usually have their own distinctive and somewhat different sets of goals in their mandates from their respective legislative authorities. However, as we shall see in this section, there is also a high degree of similarity in the goals, broadly defined, among them. Further, the mandate assigned to a given central bank is normally broad enough to allow it a great deal of latitude in the goals it does choose to pursue in practice. We illustrate the types of goals usually assigned to central banks by looking at those for the USA, Canada and the UK. Original mandate of the Federal Reserve System in the USA The Federal Reserve System, referred to as the Fed, is the central bank of the United States. It was set up in 1913 and has a Board of Governors3 with a Chairman at its head.

MILLENIUM DEVELOPMENTAL GOALS Elizabeth Kroll, You have correctly identified the most prevalent diseases in Kenya, which are diarrhea, respiratory conditions, and malaria. Over the past decades, there is reduced neonatal and mortality cases, which is attributed to improved reproductive health and accessibility to maternity and immunization services (Shann and Germer et al. 2014). Most newborn deaths are due to preventable causes of diarrhea caused by poor hygiene and sanitation. Respiratory cases are caused by occupational hazards such as dust, pollen, and inhalation of chemicals. According to the Center for Disease Control, pneumonia remains to be the common cause of death among the under-five population ahead of poor nutrition, diarrhea and malaria, and lack of vaccinations. The government is directing its efforts in preventing infectious diseases through the provision of safe drinking water, ensuring proper waste disposal, adequate and balanced nutrition, and ensuring improved housing. They work closely with the health care personnel at the village and community level, making use of the available resources. They create awareness through health education on causal and preventive factors. References Shann, F., Germer, S.,…

pathophysiologic process, presenting signs, symptoms, and diagnostic abnormalities, and social determinants of health in hypertension             Hypertension is a long run medical disorder whereby the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated. In addition, it is the sustainable elevation of blood pressure in systemic arteries which will always result to increased morbidity and mortality in the long run. A patient with hypertension is articulated to have a systolic blood pressure that is beyond 140 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure of more than 90 mmHg. It is the most dominant risk factor for cardiovascular illness and affects almost two-thirds of adults who are at least 60 years. It is anticipated that uncontrolled hypertension is accountable for millions of demise annually per year. The initial understanding of blood pressure can be traced in 1733 when Stephen Wales gauged intra-arterial pressure in a horse. It took nearly a century to develop sphygmomanometric devices that could measure blood pressure noninvasively, and these tools were launched into clinical practice in the late 1800s. Although the government has allocated significant budgets on medications and…

Achieving Self-love The most critical relationship anyone will ever have in their life is that with oneself. Many time people focus on relationships they have with friends and families, not putting into account their selves. One needs to have a good and healthy relationship with themselves. That is why I make it a priority to take care of and love myself (Musholt, 2015). People often have unhealthy behavioural patterns that they acquire from their parents and the environment. These patterns of behaviour have an impact on a person’s perspective of self. Achieving a good relationship with oneself is possible through investing in self-love. Self-love may be challenging for most people but necessary. There are three different ways in which a person can achieve this. Forgiveness is one way in which people can make an excellent personal relationship with themselves. It is common for people to do things they are not proud of, and when this happens, they need to accept their flaws, forgive themselves and accept they are not perfect. In my experience, another essential way to show self-love is by…

Implications of Large Bodies on Healthcare Access Weight stigma, also known as weight bias, is the negative attitudes, stereotypes, or discrimination based on people with big body sizes. These have become common, especially during this time when social media has led to many people, especially women and girls, becoming self-conscious about their bodies and how they look. Being overweight or obese is often associated with being lazy, lacking willpower, low intelligence, and are considered unattractive. Such attitudes have led to the development of stigma against big-bodied individuals. Weight stigma is not only about overt insults, but also embedded in all areas of culture, including workplaces, and healthcare. It is invisible and generally examined bias with the implicit message that thin is better and healthier. Even in the most conscientious settings, when jokes on race or gender were unacceptable and would not be tolerated, making disparaging remarks or comments about a person’s weight or shape is somehow acceptable. Big-bodies individuals are bullied teased, and often excluded, with many people having a belief that such individuals deserve to be treated like that…
