Writing skills I see that this is your first time submitting this draft. Each paper can be submitted up to three times, and after each revision, a tutor will offer additional feedback. Tutors suggest strategies to improve your writing skills and to help you become aware of errors you can fix yourself. I have attached your paper on cultural death practices (sounds really neat!) with embedded remarks [in bold and in brackets] and I have provided some next steps to guide you as you move forward. YOUR CONCERNS: Outline and annotated bibliography. I see from the assignment instructions that those are part of this assignment and were due yesterday. However, that is not what you’ve submitted. Fortunately, you’ve left plenty of time for tutors to review the final essay!This is good because I am unable to respond to all the elements of an assignment that is longer than eight double spaced pages. I will focus on one or two areas of your writing this time, and encourage you to submit your assignment the maximum of three times allowed so that…
Inadequate training for VA staff Most employees in the leadership positions in the organization do not possess adequate skills to run the responsibilitiesassigned to them. Training plans are not implemented due to lack of strategies that ensure middle-level employees are prepared for higher positions,whereas top managers gain more skills for their designations. VA offers a few training opportunities for its employees, therefore, top leaders are less empowered, and external services are sought when required in the organization.Additionally, the resources set aside to cater to training sessions are minimal, and the organization risks the employee adaptability to new techniques,which may be applicable in the business. Lack of training employees and following up their qualifications slows down the rate of work and discourages personnelas they do not grow in their careers while working in VA. Unclear resource needs and allocation priorities Most of the operations in VA are crippled as there are no clear plans on how resources are used, and no order is established regarding theaddressing of existing challenges.Through GAO, high-risk areas have been pointed out,which the VHA assumes as goals…
Environmental climate change Environmental climate change can cause conflicts when it negatively affects people and livestock livelihood or when it leads to elites exploiting natural resources and social vulnerabilities. It is, therefore, vital to understand how climate change might cause violence and how we can develop a more refined approach to understanding the adequacy of different responsemechanisms. Violence conflicts can be context-specific and could develop over a long time. Climateconflict mainly occurs in places that are already vulnerable to climate. The main economic activities in such areas areagriculture and fishing. Through conflict resolution, the communities are encouraged to develop alternative sources of income that are environment-friendly, thus mitigating conflict risks. The mechanisms designedinclude food assistance and droughtpreparedness programmes, legal reforms and agricultural reforms to help curb climate conflicts. Supportive climate can be created through communication that is problem-oriented and empathetic. Parties involved can also make small changes that if undertaken consistently and persistently can cause a positive climate change. Secondly, they can create an incident that can alter climate instantly or discuss the climate themes openly and come up with solutions…
The backgrounds of Jefferson and Paine Compare the backgrounds of Jefferson and Paine; did Paine have an advantage or disadvantage by not being born in the colonies? Explain. Thomas Jefferson was born and raised in a high-status family in Virginia. He was privileged to attend a highly prestigious college where he studied mathematics and philosophy. He inherited wealth from his parents, such as the 5000-acre land and many slaves too. Jefferson got elected to the House of Burgesses and later on became the US secretary of state and vice president. He is remembered for writing the laws against primogeniture, he advocated for religious freedom, and he is the author of the Declaration of independence. On the other hand, Thomas Painewas born and raised in a low-income family in Britain, and his education was cut short when he was only thirteen years and joined his father working on making ropes. Though he continued to educate himself and later on involved himself with the local government activities while advocating for better pay and working conditions for the workers.He, later on, he moved…
The construction journey depends on the efforts and preparations you make. In terms of establishing a new residential area, business premises, or any construction endeavor, requires labor and mechanical inputs. One of the burning challenges during a construction journey is the aspect of concrete pumping and proper placing. Concrete pumping One of the most advancing areas of construction is the concrete pumping sector. Concrete pumping entails conveying concrete slough through concrete pumps to the preferred destination of development. Concrete pumps are the engines behind the success of concrete pumping and placing. However, they come in different types. Types of concrete pumps There are three main types of concrete pumps The truck-mounted pumps The mounted pumps are arguably the most preferred for concrete pumping. They are usually attached to a car and use a remote-controlled arm that is commonly known as a boom. The robotic arm is crucial in directing the concrete to the destination or construction site. Boom pumps apply to large construction projects due to their abilities to pump high volumes of concrete in a relatively short time. Stationary…
Diabetes Mellitus Case Study Pathophysiology Diabetes mellitus is a common condition of the endocrine system responsible for delivering insulin to body cells. Type 1 diabetes mellitus develops due to the absence of insulin in the blood due to inadequate insulin production in the pancreatic beta cells. Insulin, an anabolic hormone, regulates glucose in the blood, allowing its uptake into muscle and adipose tissue. Mineral metabolism, protein synthesis, and lipid breakdown all depend on the action of this crucial hormone, which also regulates the formation of fats and glycogen (Lucier & Weinstock, 2018). The development of the condition begins when patients are mostly healthy and progresses via an asymptomatic stage when the patient’s body is yet to respond to the insulin deficit already present. With time, the patient develops diabetic ketoacidosis due to reduced amounts of insulin. Diabetes type 1 is also associated with altered adrenal and thyroid function. Glycemic control reverses these effects; however, it is challenging to correct endocrine function even with rigorous insulin therapy. Through affecting the release of pituitary thyrotropin and hypothalamic thyrotropin, diabetes affects the thyroid…
Digitalization In conclusion, digitalization has influenced completion in the digital market in various ways, for instance, the corporate sector encompasses network effects, economic scale, and platform-based models; thus making the competitiveness to be relatively complicated via the use of specific remote tools such as Microsoft Teams.

Remote working has formed a big part of…
Nurses’ Health Study Q1. The study reflects on the attempts made in investigating the significant risk factors to certain chronic diseases. Specifically, it gives an insight into the research concerning the factors risking women to chronic diseases. Similarly, the study notes that establishing the link between the riskfactors and health outcomes translates to an effective response. The article gives an in-depth reflection of the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) and NHS II and their commendable contributions in investigating the factors risking women to chronic diseases (Nurses’ Health Study, 2020). It formulates a historical perspective giving an insight into the factors that influenced the decision to use nurses as the study population. Notably, the study points out the adverse effects caused by oral contraceptives due to the increasing usage by most women globally. Diverse factors dictate the decision to select nurses as the ideal population for the follow-up. First, nurses are suitable because they know about health, thus a perfect group to have an in-depth analysis and monitoring of some of the adverse effects posed by oral contraceptives. Secondly, nurses know about…
Personal Statement Letter While studying for my Bachelor of Science in architecture, I realized that architecture typology was my passion. Architecture typology appealed to me because it promotes a holistic and innovative way of designing buildings. Moreover, typology aims at conserving the environment and energy, which are two elements that are in the pillar of the Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF). Sustainability is especially crucial in Qatar in its goal of creating smart cities like Doha. In addition, typology offers solutions to the implementation of the triple bottom line despite its popularity. The graduate sponsorship research award will be valuable in furthering the goal of environmental and energy preservation for which QNRF champions. Research Experience and Academic Achievements My previous research qualifies me for this scholarship. Henceforth, I individually completed research titled Education city: The epic of master planning of the future educational base of Qatar, which was a project by her highness Sheikh Moza. My research analyzed the history and logic of project development as well as the lessons and guidelines for future planning guidelines in the indigenous architectural…
Discussion 2 Week 3 Concepts of Scholarly Writing As defined earlier, scholarly writing, also known as academic writing, can simply be described as writing that is completed for scholarly purposes such as conference presentations or proceedings, book chapters, articles in scholarly journals, and other forms of academic, competitive, and peer-reviewed outlets. It is composed of four key concepts that one should understand when incorporating them into their writing. These are purpose, audience, presence of bias, and quality of evidence. In this discussion, we shall consider the audience as one of the critical concepts of scholarly writing. An audience can be defined as a group of people who read a particular piece of work. For example, a scholarly paper written in the field of Behavioral Healthcare Management may be intended for an instructor, a classmate, or a researcher. When writing an academic article, it is essential to determine your audience by considering who they are, what level of information they have about the subject, and the context in which they will be reading the piece of writing. The audience may be…
