DISASTER PREPAREDNESS FOR GERIATRICS Introduction Senior adults are usually more vulnerable to disasters and epidemics. Such disasters include natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes and manmade disasters like terrorism and fires. Epidemics like the current virus coronavirus also get the old generation first because of their age that comes along with either disability or pre-existing disorders. Public health departments are unable to provide care to the older generation during and after disasters due to various factors such as lack of resources and qualified staff to conduct such operations. Therefore, it is essential for public health departments always to be set aside resources and strategized interventions in preparation of any disasters to protect the older generation from pre and post-disaster vulnerabilities. Disaster preparedness in geriatrics As one grows older and older, the body’s immune system continues to be weak. The body becomes vulnerable to illnesses, disability, and cognitive decline. Pre-existing vulnerabilities may include diabetes and high/low blood pressure, heart diseases, kidney diseases, etc. At such a physical state, the elderly person is more helpless when natural or manmade disasters such as…

Duality of human nature Introduction In coming up with novel story lines,various employees employ different methods to capture the attention of their target readers and and how to package their stories to be understood by their target audience. This study examines the novel “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde” by Robert Luis Stevenson and how he used the theme of duality to bring out his book as a horror story. Duality of human nature Human beings have got the ability to exist in more than two states of the mind. According to a psychologist Sigmund Freud, bhe discovered that there are different states inside a person which could either be and ID,Superego or just his ego. The realistic side of the person is the Ego while the Superego has the desireslike those of an animal side of the person which is normall. There is the conscious side of the human and the and the moral side of the person. This composes the duality of a human being. In his book “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde.”…
element’s that are related to nursing and disaster management in relation to the moral and ethical competence of the nurses Introduction Notably, disaster has been one of the integral parts of human expreince for a very long time and it has resulted in factors such as loss of life, reduced quality of life and altered health status. In the recent times, there has been an accrued increase in the number of natural disaster due to factors such as global warming and climatic change. in this regard, it has called for changes in nursing training to help them become more prepared in dealing with natural disaster ethically, emotional and morally. The objective of this paper is to explore some of the element’s that are related to nursing and disaster management in relation to the moral and ethical competence of the nurses. The most appropriate ethical approach for the nurses when it comes to dealing with natural disasters is the Utilitarian approach. In utilitarian ethics, outcomes of a certain decision is the major focus of the approach and it justify the means.…
Specific Heat Capacity Measurement and Calibration 1.0 Introduction Calorimetry is the technique used to measure the amount of heat exchange between two different substances at different temperatures (Ribeiro, 1984). A calorimeter comprises an insulated container, a mass of water, the thermometer, a lid, and the system to be investigated. The use of the Styrofoam cup allows an assumption that there is no heat exchange through the calorimeter walls. This particular experiment is focused on the determination of the heat capacity of the adiabatic calorimeter to measure heat changes at constant pressure. The experiment involves the use of a calorimeter with water and a metal sample to find the specific heat capacity of the metal sample. According to Chang (1984), the specific heat capacity refers to the amount of heat energy required by an object to absorb a unit increase in temperature for a given unit of the mass. Theoretical background The calorimeter contains a suitable liquid which creates a good thermal contact with the process being investigated. If the process generates heat energy, then the energy exchanged to the…
waterfall model and a useful role in modern systems development ABSTRACT In the software development section, there existing a lot of type of models that can you help to create software. Each of the models has its own characteristics and identity that makes each model unique from the others. Each SDLC has its advantages and disadvantages according to which we decide of which model should be implemented under which conditions. In this paper, we will examine a waterfall model and a useful role in modern systems development. INTRODUCTION The waterfall life cycle model is a software engineering method that was initially created in 1970 by Winston. W. Royce (Stoica, M., Mircea, M., & Ghilic-Micu, B., 2013). This model is one of the basic innovations in the computer science field that changed completely the way that software works and interact between activities. Its names come from their structure specification that it has. Every stage following a specific downward structure that seems like a waterfall and in order to get successful, every activity following by one another (Prakriti Trivedi and Ashwani Sharma,…
Geological Disaster Geological disasters occur when natural geological processes affect human activity and cause injuries, loss of life or economic loss. Most geological disasters occur on a large scale and affect a massive number of people. Volcanic eruptions are some of the most deadly geological hazards. Guatemala faces volcanic eruptions regularly, with a recent and most disastrous explosion occurring at Fuego volcano. The Fuego volcano erupted with little warning in early June 2018. According to Park et al. (2018), the Fuego volcano is the most dangerous volcano with continuous and sudden eruptions. In June 2018, the Fuego Volcano erupted violently without warning and caused massive destruction of property and loss of many lives. In line with Park et al. (2018), the areas surrounding the Fuego volcano were covered in a mixture of hot gas and volcanic rocks moving at high speed and caused the death of 425 people. The eruption affected more than 1.7 million people because towns around Fuego are located at the foothills of the volcano. Guatemala experiences volcanic eruptions from the various active volcanoes within thet geologic…
Protected Values- Critical Review In their article “Protected Values,” Jonathan Baron and Mark Spranca define protected values as those values that do not make tradeoffs or compromise with other values, precisely economic values. Baron and Spranca propose that protected values arise from deontological rules concerning action. The two also suggest that protected values not only display tradeoff resistance, but they also tend to show moral obligation, agent relativity, and quantity insensitivity. People who hold protected values tend to get angry at the thought of compromising and tend to deny the need for tradeoffs through fantasy or wishful thinking. Protected values are often impossible to satisfy and they may cause difficulties for the government or other institutions that try to meet and satisfy the values of a significant number of people. Although protected rights cause trouble for government efforts to implement specific programs, some practices and values should be inviolable and should not be compromised by tradeoffs with other values Summary Baron and Spranca define protected values as those values that resist tradeoffs with others, especially economic values. People who hold…
Earth people Earth people, ‘As it is the beginning of Kalyuga on Earth, ‘A gentleman present in the meeting spoke before Maharaj. ‘The goal of the asuras is not the Earth but us, ‘Because they are well aware that no one dares to stand in front of them on Earth, ‘But if the asuras are in danger from anywhere, they are from us. ‘Conquering the Earth is a game of the left hand of the Asuras, ‘If anyone can stop the Asuras, ‘we are the only, ‘Maharaj Mangal Dev answers that gentleman’s question. ‘But if the war is going to fight on Mars, ‘Why is the dev sent to Earth? ‘We, the resident of Mars, consider our guardian ‘Devdoot, ‘Not the people of any other planet, ‘As soon as the other person listens to that person the voice starts coming up again. ‘Please all calm down, ‘We are also descendants of Earth, Bhairava and Chandraketu had saved my lives, and I had promised that we would consider them as Marsian, not Earths residents. ‘Maharaj is responding to after seeing the…
use of motorbike in desert areas Suddenly the motorbike stopped on the deserted road and started to descend, upon my inquiry we found that we were stopping at a yard. And so Abraham and Ibrahim should stay. Do you see that a memorial named “Memorial No. 1, Engineer Battalion” was erected in recognition of the services of the people who walked on the construction of the Karakoram highway from 1966 to 1972. Their graves are there too. This memorial is made in memory of the enormous engineers, laborers and other staff who have sacrificed their lives while participating in the nation’s construction and development in the Karakoram Mountains and have fallen asleep forever in the mountains. ۔ We made a farewell meal for them and took pictures with their graves and memorabilia and praised their services. Staying in one of two places in the state, even for cold water, washing hands, several When confronted with familiar faces, drink coldding, but the cold and lion’s presence in front of the water becomes secondary to cold beer. We were in a hurry…
