personal challenge you have faced in a work situation Describe the most significant personal challenge you have faced in a work situation and the ways in which you overcame the challenge. (Maximum at 250 words) I volunteered to lead an intern team for a department project during my NBA internship. I fully committed myself to the role: I hosted team-bonding events to build up team chemistry, I worked over-time to study the target industry as fast as possible, and I organized daily meeting to make sure each member’s opinion, advice and criticism can be heard. By the end of first month, my team seemed in a great shape and I became very confident about my leadership. During the midterm review, however, the manager brought forward a problem that directly questioned my leadership ability – he commented that our scheme was too ideal and not compatible with the role of our department, and therefore the team leader failed in guiding towards the correct direction. It was embarrassing that something I felt proud of got denied, in front of my teammates. (for…

Resilience and adaptation policies on climate change Adaptive governance is understood as an emerging research framework meant for analyzing social and ecological foundations, which are recommended in resilience building for the negative effects imposed by global change and complex socio-ecological systems (Pisano, 2012). In other words, adaptive governance is an approach that unites related environmental and natural resource management approaches. On the other hand, resilience involves appreciating and defining the social ecological systems as complex adaptive systems. Most of the strategies laid on climate change adaptation are accompanied by the risks of reducing systems resilience. However, this is caused by lack of careful implementation of the strategies and how they are conceived. Its effects are trade-offs between the policy objectives focused and the strategies which seek to retain resilience. Poor implementation of the set strategies on climate change cause a lot of disruptions and shocks (Pisano, 2012). To counteract the imposed challenges, it calls for adaptive capacity which require social- ecological sources of resilience to correct the challenges, recombine experiences and create innovation. Ways on how to appreciate study…

Developmental goals Motivation in the workplace is very essential. Generally, it increases performance at any organization. My internship at Urawk equipped me with knowledge on how to improve performance especially when dealing with employees. In order to improve performance, there is special kind of treatment which employees need in order to perform well. For instance, you cannot work under high pressure and expect to realize benefits. The manager at Urawk stressed on working under a peaceful environment on which all corrections for mistakes made accidentally were done accordingly. Secondly, I cannot work in an environment that encourages ambiguity. This means working for same goals with those of other related companies. It brings a lot of conflict and incapacitation in the workplace. Time factor at my internship was questionable. I could not cooperate in an environment where no respect of my time at all.

Congestive Heart Failure During the last 5 weeks, you have explored various body systems: neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, and hematological. These four systems work together along with other body systems to complete a myriad of functions. For this reason, when disorders occur within one body system, it can create potentially devastating effects throughout the entire body. For instance, Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system, yet its alterations actually affect multiple body systems from the cardiovascular system to the gastrointestinal system. In this Assignment, you examine alterations associated with disorders, as well as the impact of the alterations on multiple body systems. Using the topic of Congestive Heart Failure Identify alterations associated with your selected disorder. Consider the pathophysiology of the alterations. Think about how these alterations produce pathophysiological changes in at least two body systems. Reflect on how patient factors such as genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, and behavior might impact the pathophysiology of the alterations you identified, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of your selected disorder.[unique_solution] Review the “Mind maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux…
