Learning styles Assessment. According to the assessment, I am a discovery learner because I enjoy a broad range of learning situations. I concur with the evaluation. A person can personalize the learning experience with this learning style. Due to its explorative nature, learners can acquire information, some of which are unrelated to the topic. I prefer this learning style because it is challenging to forget information obtained during the learning process. Discovery learners are innovative because they tend to come up with their ideas during the process. Companies with high demand for constant innovation should encourage this learning technique as it is traverse. Examples of such companies include; telecommunication companies, restaurants(need for new menus), construction(new ways to acquire building resources), and design companies that need to come up with new designs constantly. People who are unable to memorize can easily understand things through this learning style. It motivates learners to read widely and understand as they can come up with different scenarios along the way. Discovery learning is, however, time-consuming and requires flexibility in organizations. An experiment intended to last…
EVALUATION OF A PROJECT PLAN Student Name Course Professor’s Name University City(State) Date Evaluation of a Project Plan Introduction Project evaluation is defined as the act of reviewing a particular project in order to determine its consequent feasibility. The process involves looking at each aspect of the project and determining whether its presence in the project is of benefit to achieve the goal intended for the particular project. A project requires evaluation. This is because the success of any work is determined by its ability to fulfill the desired goal. A project has many aspects that work together to achieve the main purpose. The combination of these many factors warrants an evaluation of whether their presence in the project will result in an overall success or some aspects may need to be eliminated or modified. The idea here is to optimize the success of the…
patient case study The case study presents a patient, Nina Tate, whose medical account reports that eight years ago, she had an acute heart attack, which subsequently occurred two months ago. From Nina Tate’s medical profile, she possesses a height of 5’9 and weighs 203 pounds. Also, the respective medical practitioner calculated her body mass index, which is 30. Statistically, someone owning a height of 5’9 should have a body mass index of 22.15 and a bodyweight of 150 pounds. Therefore, the relevant patient is obese since her body mass index is at thirty. Statistically, persons with a body mass index of thirty and above suffer from obesity disorder. The trend elevates the extent of stress hormones in the patient’s system, which results in intensified inflammation, thus exacerbating atherosclerosis hence resulting in a heart attack. Also, being obese puts extra strain on the heart system since more plasma, and plasma vessels are required to sufficiently feed fats, which risks the occurrence of myocardial infarction. Also, the extra fats may block the coronary arteries, thus averting consistent plasma circulation, which extremely…
Role of nurses in healthcare institutions In many healthcare institutions, nurses play a vital role in protecting their patient’s information. There are several ways that nurses can help to improve the security and privacy of the information of the patients. One of the things they do to help in preventing patient information is discussing patient care. Nurses can apply this through speaking quietly when they are discussing the patient’s information with colleagues or with patient’s families, especially the time they are communicating in public areas. They may also use privacy filters on device screens, which helps to protect the patient’s information from being heard by the people who pass by. Nurses also do ensure that they have safeguarded the documents of their patients. When dealing with hard copy documents, nurses should ensure they don’t leave them lying at their desks anyhow. They should instead store them in a secure drawer or in file cabinets. Also, storage rooms where documents are kept should be kept locked when they are not in use also;, the people who access the storage rooms should…

Dispersed Team: Volvo IT Case Study According to Wainhouse Reasearch (2011), from the year 2000, the United States Library of Congress has listed averagely 1000 publications on the issue of globalization every year (Phemawat 2011). The definition of globalization doubles from the international exchange of products and services to sharing the same regulations and cultures. Therefore, globalization has become the agenda of the managers of every institution (IBM, 2012). As stated by IBM 2012, managers face the challenges of lack of creativity among leaders, lack of collaboration and, inability to develop workforce skills and capabilities. Globally dispersed teams are affected by several Issues (Anell et al. 2013). It may take longer than usual for dispersed teams to develop trust. Globally dispersed teams hardly recognize each other and may never meet. However, without trust, collaborating to work as a team causes problems in sharing experience and knowledge (Rosen et al. 2007). Moreover, coordination of the work process and environment primarily influences the success of dispersed teams. For instance, arranging meetings for employers and employees across time zones become a challenge. As…
IT security framework Introduction An IT security framework refers to a series of documented processes used to define the procedures as well as policies around the art of implementing and managing information security controls in any enterprise. In other words, a security framework consists of standards, practices as well as guidelines that are used in managing a security program, document, and develop a security process aimed at implementing specific security controls. The security framework is chosen by premises to reduce or somewhat mitigate the security threats that an enterprise is likely to see. The organization is, in most cases, required to comply with specific directions as well as cybersecurity regulations aimed at protecting their data. Some of the organizations that are challenged by the art of cybersecurity include those that operate globally. However, the aspect has increased the creativity of cyber-crime and disorientation of data that calls all business organizations to install systems such as firewalls that aids in protecting their generated data. The significant role of the device is thus blocking unauthorized access as it permits only authorized communications…
Race theory Race theory was coined by Kimberle Crenshaw in late 1980, in his detailed description he gives the direct connection that exists between science fiction and the race theory. Race theory becomes a challenge when the United States became a color-blind society whereby your racial identity did not affect one’s economic or social status. Race theory is a theoretical as well as an interpretive model that examines how race and racism appear in dominant cultural modes of expression. The scholars attempt to get an understanding of how cultural perception of race affects victims of systemic racism and how these victims can represent themselves to counter bias. The theory is closely connected to law, history, sociology as well as philosophy. Racism theory scholars trace racism in America in the nation’s legacy for slavery, recent events and in the civil rights movements. The theory, therefore, draws work from prominent writers like Martin Luther King, Fredrick Douglas among others who study law and feminism as well as post-structuralism. In this paper, we will discuss how race theory is integrated into science fiction.…
Taxation law in Australia Taxes are the primary source of revenue for the government, and it is the responsibility of all citizens to remit their due taxes. The citizens need to understand the tax law to avoid penalties and also take advantage of tax policies that can benefit them and their businesses. Although imposing taxes was initially to finance the running of government functions, tax purpose has been expanded. The broader function of the tax system in the modern economy includes income and wealth redistribution, resource allocation, and stabilizing the economy (Cox et al., n.d.).

Implementation of tax policies to achieve economic stability aims at maintaining stable market prices and a high level of employment through debt management, government expenditure, and monetary policy. The redistribution of wealth and income function is meant to ensure that there is even economic growth and that the low-income earners are not adversely affected by taxation policy. The three basic functions of a tax policy…
