modern social and economic challenges facing different jurisdictions The module entailed a study on modern social and economic challenges facing different jurisdictions. Some of the subtopics covered in the course included potential policy responses to housing, education, healthcare, employment, crime, inequality, and poverty (Béland, 2016). The course also focused on a strong international dimension. The textbook used in the course is understandable and, of course, an easy read for students at the stated level. Chapters are sequentially arranged in terms of complexity, and also, the content of the book is impressive, bearing in mind that it covers contemporary issues affecting the society. Regarding the workload for the class, it is crucial to mention that every academic week was fully packed with either short assignments or reading work that required students to fulfill. If a student missed a class, it would require him/her to make an immediate follow-up. However, towards the end of the module, the workload began to reduce, having covered so much for several weeks. Being a college course, a heavier workload was anticipated. Despite the much work we…

the efficacy of physical therapy in reducing and treating pain Studies have established the efficacy of physical therapy in reducing and treating pain in addition to preventing chronic pain. A good example references the cases of low back pain through exercise therapy to reduce pain, improve function, and return to normalcy. A study that reviewed 35 randomized controlled trials with 30,000 patients found that patients undergoing hip arthroplasty benefits from postoperative education and exercise that led to significant pain reduction, reduced length of stay postoperatively, and improved patient function (Moyer, Ikert, Long & Marsh, 2017). In line with these findings, PTs form an alternative approach to postoperative pain management that would promote a reduced effect of opioid abuse. Conclusion The take-home message from this advocacy research paper is that the use of opioids in the management of postoperative and acute pain has led to significant health, financial, and humanitarian effects. The epidemic involving opioid use remains a complex concern that requires multidisciplinary collaboration. Physical therapy emerges as a field with specialists that would offer patients interventions that would control pain…

Social Change Role Model Social Change is simply defined as shifts in the attitudes and behavior that characterize a society. It is the transformation of culture and social organization/structure overtime. My definition of social change will be based on my findings from different authors. ”Social change refers to the transformations that had taken place in society over a given period of time. The change must have impacted considerably on the structure  of society over time.” (Faleye, 2013:13) Another definition is from a Nigerian Sociologist at the University of PortHarcourt named Theophilus C. Akujobi. He defined Social Change as a concept deeply sown into the fabric of human existence since preliterate times. He further characterizes social change as an ”inevitable, ubiquitous, multi-leveled, contagious, detectable and measurable idea which possesses rate, whether rapid or slow.” (Akujobi, 2017) Social Change Role Model The individual I have chosen as my role model for positive social change is Mary Slessor. I have also added the profile of another social change agent respected by Nigerians and the International community, that is Chinua Achebe. Mary Slessor was…

Co-Teaching Models and Paraeducator Action Plan   Co-Teaching Model: Definition and Visual of Model   Advantages and Disadvantages Instructional Strategies Positive Effects Responsibility and Accountability 1.      One Teaching, One Observing This model rests on the principles that one of the two teachers entirely delivers the whole set of instructions to the learners. In contrast, the other teacher is responsible for observing and collecting relevant information from the learners. The two teachers have a chance to decide on the role they are holding before the model is implemented (Hamdan, Muhammad, & Aqeel, 2015). The teachers also decide the types of data collected. The success of the achievement of the goals of this model lies in the focus given to the observation. Adequate observation leads to the collection of the valid data that can be used to design the next instructions delivered to the learners Advantages The model is easy to plan and does not require joint planning   The mode facilitates the collection of data from learners, which can be used for decision-making regarding the delivery and modeling of the next instruction.…

NICU feeding and how these special populations served by speech-language pathologists Discussion of the NICU condition Thirteen percent of all birth within the United States is premature. The survival rate for preterm babies has improved to twenty percent since the late nineteenth century. The improved survival rate of premature babies has increased the demand for specialists who are trusted to make the numbers grow. The infant depends on the mother for everything and survival in the womb. The baby’s system has to adapt to the new environment. Most babies experience difficulties transitioning from the womb to outside. Children experiencing abnormal birth conditions have a difficult time during the transition severe. There is unique and improved care accessible to the infants, known as NICU.  The premature and sick newborn is mostly affected by the condition in their lungs, gastric duct, brain, heart, and eyes. Many premature infants suffer from breathing difficulties. This is because their lungs are not fully developed, like full-term babies (Hay & Thureen, 2017). Babies born prematurely experience early tube feeding. They are brought up within the neonatal…

Art Psychology When educating students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), teachers experience challenges in their work as compared to an average student. The teachers should be familiar with signs of ADHD, such as inability to remain attentive, difficulty in maintaining a still position, which poses significant hurdles for affected children to perform well in school. This information awareness about ADHD to the teachers is essential; it helps deviseADHD therapies, such as behavioral classroom management or organizational preparatory instructions to help the students do well in their studies. These specialized education programs also help to reduce the impacts caused by ADHD in the course of their learning.Some of the school-based management strategies which teachers should be aware of and has provedeffective involves the provision of incentives in appreciation of the student’s positive behaviors in the classroom.

I am qualified, why not me? – Incident analysis Bobby, like every employee within any organization, aspires to grow both professionally and by status. Promotion is a significant milestone that indicates a person is progressing in his or her career. After a few years in a specific role, employees feel the need to assume a more challenging responsibility. Promotion represents a process where an individual undertakes a higher share of duties or an improved salary scale. Bobby recognizes the process would improve morale and increase his productivity.
