Neonatal Case Study Introduction The presenting clinical problem for the newborn (Jennifer) discussed in case study two is neonatal jaundice. This is a discoloration of the skin often occurring in newborns due to high bilirubin levels. This paper will discuss the pathophysiology of this presenting clinical problem as it relates to Jennifer, analyze the presenting data, and apply the principles of family-centered care. The pathophysiology of the presenting clinical problem Neonatal jaundice often takes place due to the simultaneous occurrence of two phenomena. The first is the elevation of bilirubin production arising from the increased breakdown of fetal erythrocytes. This outcome is often due to the shortened lifespan of fetal erythrocytes as well as a higher mass of erythrocyte in the neonate (Hansen, 2017). Secondly, the condition occurs due to low hepatic excretory capacity arising from the diminished concentration of the binding protein ligandin in the hepatocyte as well as because of low glucuronyl transferase, which is an enzyme often responsible for binding bilirubin to glucuronic acid. The low glucuronyl transferase makes bilirubin water-soluble, a state commonly known as conjugation.…

A Case Study on Art and Photography How do Leo Tolstoy and Roland Barthes’ theories help us to view a photograph of a traumatic event as an art? We can use his book ‘What is Art’ to explain how Tolstoy brought out art by the use of a traumatic event. From my understanding of the book ‘What is Art,’ I like to state that Tolstoy explained how art is formed and how an individual’s expression of his or her feelings or emotions causes another individual to express their feelings. Tolstoy also adds that emotions by the other person will only be shown if they contain individuality, sincerity, and or clarity. From the Vietnam Memorial, we can see how Tolstoy brought out art by infecting the individual who visits the memorial park. We get to see how visiting the monument park becomes a ‘cathartic’ experience and how the art portrayed is infectious to the visitor. Art evokes feelings of sadness and anger as we see how the little girl looks at the memorial touches the black stone monument. Maya Lin received…

Ethical Case Study The health care profession exposes practitioners to a myriad of moral dilemmas, lead them to struggle to choose between right and wrong courses of action (Zahedi et al., 2013). Often, such situations compel them to make hard decisions in their effort to enhance good. For instance, the ethical case mentioned above denotes an incident of a scarcity of the influenza vaccine in a rural county. The situation poses a risk to the health of the residents. The crisis obligated the county health department to issue a directive compelling health care providers to prioritize the vaccination of pregnant women and elderly of American descent. However, the continual exposure of the health care staff to the virus in their endeavor to administer the vaccine to patients signals elevated their risk of acquiring the infection and transmitting it onto their family members. This situation led one practitioner to consider taking some of the vaccines home to administer to his loved ones, hence fostering the emergence of an ethical dilemma. The patients in the case display various needs and desires. The…

Engineering Sustainability – Boeing Case Study The concept of sustainability relates to meeting the current human needs without compromising the ability of future generations to be able to meet their needs with the available resources (Diwekar, 2015 p.15). Although the concept of sustainability majorly emanates from conservationism and social justice, it remains one of the most significant objectives for human development and activities.  Sustainable development has increasingly become a goal upon which various nations across the world aspire. Just as in all the other aspects of construction, engineering activities contribute immensely to the economic development, thus the need to fall within the confines of sustainable development. For instance, engineering, particularly electronics engineering, uses various resources to drive much of economic activities across the world (Diwekar, 2015 p.8). Therefore, there needs to be adequate consideration of the sustainability criteria when it comes to the selection of resources in engineering as a measure of good stewardship. In engineering, sustainability is viewed as a comprehensive concept that involves the sustainable utilization of engineering concepts and systems (Diwekar, 2015 p.12). Therefore, sustainable engineering does…

Case study: H&H Financial Critically evaluate the organization’s strategy and structure (complexity, formalization, and centralization) in your answer. How does this structure seem to affect Ms. Matthews’s behavior? Organizational strategy is a crucial aspect of performance enhancement in an organization. Organizational complexity defines different organizational entities differ while an organizational structure is a reflection of the mechanism of how different organizational goals can be achieved (through departments that serve varied purposes). Formalization, on the other hand, describes the organizational approach to the assigning of duties, responsibilities, roles, and procedures to different employees. Formalization includes the transfer of responsibilities from the top leadership to employees’ employees at different hierarchical levels. Finally, centralization describes the degree at which decisions are made at the higher organizational units. In the case of H& H, the organizational strategy is derived from the vision created by Mr. Blake during the startup. He aimed at creating a consulting company that majored in customer service as the primary strategy for success. By doing so, he would not only provide optimal services but also make his customer`s satisfied. To…

UBER case study Introduction Changes in technology in all facets of socio-economic activities have been the main determinant factor of development. With technological improvements, it’s entirely possible to provide for new services and hit a lot of achievements with fewer inputs. Generally, the transport system’s history is a history of changes or revolutions. The technological mutation has led to the transformation of the transport sector by implementing new ways that elevate the industry in terms of the speed, commercial space, and the quality of service offered. This report seeks to provide a quantitative history of the Uber transport system, which seems to take over the traditional taxi industry. As established by Snead (2015), the traditional taxi industry was introduced back in 1897 and for a long time, has been the most dominant form of road transport in the cities. Around the 1960s, several cities already had put across government policies concerning the traditional taxi companies to prevent the much supply of taxis. This was out across to control the taxi prices, reasonable payment of the drivers, and to ensure the…

Case Study research Introduction Researchers and scholars use various research methods and approaches in conducting their research. The choice of the method or approach is dependent on the objective of the research and the available resources.  One of the research approaches commonly applied is case study. Case Study Definition Case study is a detailed and informative examination of a subject of study and related contextual condition. In this scenario, the subject is ‘the case’ (Thomas, 2011). The case can be an organisation, an individual, action or event existing in a given place and time. Advantages and Disadvantages of Case Study Just like other forms of research approaches, case study has its pros and cons. One of the advantages of the approach is that it is simple to conduct. Case studies are simple to conduct and they simplify complex approaches that are used in other research methods.  On the other hand, case studies are the best approaches to developing new research as they provide gaps in the current research that can be used to inform new research (Meyer, 2015). Also, case…
