ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY on Impact of text and email messaging on the sexual health of young people   Lim, M. S., Hocking, J. S., Aitken, C. K., Fairley, C. K., Jordan, L., Lewis, J. A., & Hellard, M. E. (2012). Impact of text and email messaging on the sexual health of young people: A randomized controlled trial. Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 66(1), 69-74. doi:10.1136/jech.2009.100396 There have been many challenges behind health promotion programs, the main challenge being the lack of appropriate channel s of communication which can reach all the people even those in rural areas. So, unless this challenge has been addressed, any health promotion program cannot be seen as successful. Multiple channel approach to enlighten local residents on the program has been identified as one of the effective approach on the matter. As a contribution towards this challenge, Lim, Hocking, Aitken, Fairley, Jordan, Lewis, & Hellard (2012), conducted a randomized trial on the use mobile of text messages and emails as a new health promotion method. The main aim of the trial was to reveal the effects…

AGING AND RETIREMENT Variation in income among the older is reflected by the source of income. Others having low income, median, and high income.t the main source of income include personal savings, investments, retirement pension, and social security. Most older adults receive social security, for example, upon leaving the workforce one is entitled to work pay. About 41% of older adults receive income from the money private retirement pension. Less than 18% receive income from public firms. Two-thirds of the older get income from selling their assets. For example, land, vehicle or machines. Less than 13% get income from public assistance. The older people of lower-income get most of the income from social security. When planning for your retirement the following factors are considered to be the most important housing, transit is an important factor as most older people don’t want to travel on public transit, healthy and security. Housing is an important safety particularly to those who don’t want to live in traditional housing. Heathy is the mental and fundamental well-functioning of the adult. Upon retirement, most chose to…

Managing Perform Order Introduction Human Resource Management should take into account the obstacles as well as the available resources, which includes personnel within an organization. A good management strategy ensures that the employees value their work. Most of the employees of every organization wish to be right about issues within the organization and perhaps leave a legacy. Notably, it is in the interest of the employees that their company succeeds. Mission and Vision Therefore, as a Human Resource Executive, helping the employees align with the mission and vision statements of the organization, the objectives of the organization should link with the team, and individual goals will be my primary strategy. I will ensure that the goals of the organization should be achievable for every employee. Therefore, I will ensure that the organization considers some form of reward or recognition for every employee who achieves its mission and the vision (Harder, 2017). Also, I may consider frequent brainstorming meetings with the members of the organization. Besides, employees wish to work in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Thus, allowing them to have…

Mainly, this involves calling a patient back after a patient had made a call to monitor the progress of the patient concerning his/her prognosis. An example of this scenario would be a nurse making a call to find out the course of gastroenteritis in a child, once or severally, after the initial phone call. According to Pettinari and Jessopp (2001), managing the absence of patient visibility in telephone is different from making a follow-up call…

Neuroimaging and Number Processing The numerical perception of human beings has a significant stimulus that contributes to the daily livelihood. The incentive is the principal coordinator of all the information that controls social interactions because it guides the formation of the relevant emotional reactions and personality identification. According to neuroimaging studies, individuals rely much on the number process to make meaning in everything that meets the human eye. This information is the basis of body movements and brain functioning (Brooke & Harrison, 2016). The FMRI researchers have identified the existence of biases based on attention with variations on number identification associated with objects. They have suggested that there are different processing powers for numbers in comparison with another stimulus. However, it is notably important to outline that studies have marked increase interest in the clarifying the mechanism behind the number processing. Neuroimaging is had excellent contributions to the number processing function (Brodski-Guerniero et al., 2017). This paper discusses the contribution of neuroimaging research to our understanding of number processing. Brooke & Harrison (2016) recommended a core cognitive procedure of number…

Article Review on Overutilization in Medical Imaging  “Overutilization is defined as the application of imaging procedures in circumstances where it is unlikely for the patient’s outcome to improve.” The article points out factors that influence overutilization in medical imaging, and measures that can be taken to reduce overutilization and improve the performance of imaging services. Some of the factors highlighted by the article that contributes to overutilization include; providing patient-centered care, working in interdisciplinary teams, using evidence-based practice, applying quality improvement, and utilizing informatics. To reduce overutilization in medical imaging, the article suggests that; one, the appropriateness criteria for imaging should be regularly updated to enhance diagnostic reliance. Second is through the use and incorporation of practice guidelines in standards on appropriateness. Third, it is through educating patients, referring physicians, and the general public. The justification for the suggestions highlighted by the article is that if we have a more objectified idea about the patient’s signs/symptoms, the physician would have a better idea of how to treat the patient eliminating unnecessary diagnostic tests. “Although publications suggest that 20-50% of imaging…

Managing the Absence of Patient Visibility in Telephone:A Qualitative Descriptive Study Triage Introduction The basis of this paper is the concept of managing the absence of a patient via telephone through a descriptive study triage, at this moment referred to as ‘Tele nurse.’ Mainly, this involves calling a patient back after a patient had made a call to monitor the progress of the patient concerning his/her prognosis. An example of this scenario would be a nurse making a call to find out the course of gastroenteritis in a child, once or severally, after the initial phone call. According to Pettinari and Jessopp (2001), managing the absence of patient visibility in telephone is different from making a follow-up call because follow-up calls are concerned with knowing the progress of a patient after their stay in the hospital. However, the former is concerned with giving appropriate support to the individual seeking care by enabling the reexamination of the disease status and providing useful self-care advice. I got interested in this area during my engagement with a local hospital as a clinical officer.…

Managing and controlling Ethics Programs Business Ethics is a crucial area that organizations should focus on this viable economy. There is a need for organizations to adopt a triple bottom line framework where they not only make profit but also have an ethical obligation to give back to the community. However, some organizations overlook the value of business ethics and mistreat clients. For this reason, there is a need for ethical programs like the Better Business Bureau, a practical network that is concerned with fair business practices and provides a basis for organizations to examine itself from a multitude of stakeholders’ perspectives regardless of the size. External forces shape the operations of small businesses. Since unethical activity reflects on honest members of the business community, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) is the best technique for carrying out formal ethics audits in smaller companies. Consumers are the most critical stakeholders of the Better Business Burea. From the stakeholders’ point of view, the Better Business Bureau assists administrators in appreciating the importance of stakeholders’ ethics. It avails information to consumers regarding businesses…

The contribution of neuroimaging (fMRI) to understand of face processing.   One of the core stimuli in the lifestyle is well constituted in the human face. It transmits a massive wealth of information that is paramount for the sake of social interaction, for instance, a person’s expression of emotions and identification. Research has perpetually demonstrated a face attentional bias (Johnson, 1991), which carries with it a superior execution in the face recognition in comparison to other stimuli (Bindemann, 2005), implying diverse processing for the faces connected to different inducements. Subsequently, the recent past decades were calibrated with a heightened concern in interpreting the procedures embedded in features processing. There is a formidable understanding model towards the face perception that is attached to the neurophysiological and behavior findings, which diversified the first stages towards face identification raising forth from the numerical analysis of movement and facial recognition (Bruce and Young, 1986). Nevertheless, the authors deliberately formulated functional elements in the individual appearance processing arrangement. This was devoid of whether or not that these elements confined to particular regions of the(Bran and…

Ethnic Minority, Social Economic Status and Health In Relation To Aging Introduction Every older adult deserves a good later life, not a conditional one where the comfort of one’s later years is determined by the amount of money in one’s bank account, gender, race or sexuality. However, in the current state of society, older adults have a difficult later life as a result of inequalities from different angles. America comprises of different ethnic groups who live in the United States for different reasons. There special groups composed of minor ethnic groups who are unequally represented by the state. These people end up having low social, economic status, and as they age, their situation worsens due to a decrease in productivity. This paper will discuss the inequalities experienced by the older adults as a result of their ethnic group, social, economic status and health and how these inequalities affect their health physically, psychologically and mentally. Literature review Inequality in the United States is not something new. The nation has been fighting inequality since the 1970s. Inequalities in the United States manifest…
