The Economic Recess of 2008             Other than the great depression of 1930, reports suggest that the world’s economy came to face its most dangerous crisis in 2008. It had remained undisputed that the recession began the previous year when the prices of sky-high home in the US turned down as well as spreading quickly starting with the whole of US financial sector and later to the financial markets overseas. Studies assert that the catastrophe affected the industry of investments and banking, insurance companies, mortgage lenders among other areas of the economy. Other than the financial sector, the carnage ensured that companies that relied on credit, as well as the American auto industry, were similarly dragged into the pit with the rest. Research conducted in 2009 indicates that the share prices plunge was felt throughout the world for instance in a company such as Dow Jones in the US averagely lost 35.8% of the shares’ value in 2008 (Marek, 5). Furthermore, the report concludes by stating that by the end of 2008, the recession that had been growing deeper and…

Genetic and Genomic Testing for Cancer Susceptibility Summary ‘Genetic and Genomic Testing for Cancer Susceptibility’ is a clinical oncology journal written by a couple of authors, Mark Robson, Susan Domchek, James Ford, among others for the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Robson et al analyze the susceptibility of cancer for the next generations using new effective technology. Moreover, they analyze the challenges combating emerging new technologies used for genetic and genomic testing and after that offer recommendation which ensure the technologies are safe and effective for conducting oncology procedures. In this oncology journal, Robson et al make recommendations concerning accessing genetic services for cancer, oncology professionals’ education, multigene testing for cancer susceptibility, genetic testing quality assurance, and somatic mutations (3660). The primary technology in assessment is the next-generation sequencing (NGS) used for testing the susceptibility of cancer among individuals. The research was conducted after the concerned committees of ASCO became worried about the impact of the NGS technology in oncology. Analysis According to Robson et al, NGS technology is more effective and cheaper than the traditional Sanger testing because it…

Prioritization in Nursing Information literacy implies an individual’s ability to access, evaluate, recognize, and evaluate information in a manner that benefits them or society. A person who is information literate will effectively consume information to gain the most out of it. The skill becomes stronger when combined with resource utilization prowess. A literate person understands how best to make use of resources available for them. As a nurse, one must have access to accurate information to succeed. Since resources are ever scarce, then they must learn how to prioritize. From a nursing perspective, it is critical to analyze prioritization as a newly acquired concept in information literacy and resource utilization. A considerable proportion of nursing practice entails what to execute first in a priority list. All nurses must learn this concept since there are many activities that they must do, but there exist those that are more important (Toronto, 2016). Taking care of patients’ needs calls for accurate interpretation of their needs as well as the utilization of available resources. Since hospitals may hardly be equipped to capacity, one must…

Proposed Solution to Climate Change Outline Introduction Climate change and the resultant global warming remain the most potent existential threat to humanity. There is a need to address this threat, but global leaders ought to step up efforts to address the problem. The paper examines the threat climate change presents and offers suggestions to solve the issue amicably. The failure to tackle climate change effectively will negate all efforts at civilization and expose humanity to unprecedented survival threats. Summary Paragraphs Summary of Article 1 In the article, “The Uninhabitable Earth,” Wallace-Wells (2019) presents a harrowing review of the effects of climate change and laments the lack of deliberate and decisive response from the world’s leaders. The author argues everyone knows the situation is already bad, but no one is ready to take a leadership role in reversing the condition. The writer further posits fears about issues such as the rise in sea levels are understandable but minute and argues the world is set to witness unprecedented dangers. Some of the problems the author postulates will happen include possible death from…

The four types of probability samplings  Simple random sampling: a technique where samples are randomly selected from the population. Systematic sampling: a means of selecting a sample where the researcher selects the nth subject from a complete list of potential participants. Stratified random sampling: a methodology where the population is divided into mutually exclusive categories and the subjects of study selected using simple random. Cluster random sampling: it entails dividing the population into heterogeneous clusters and using a simple random strategy to identify subjects. Probability sampling is preferred because it minimizes the presence of systematic error and bias.  These techniques produce highly representative samples of the population. As a result, they increase the reliability of the research findings because the subjects represent the characteristics of the population. Besides, probability sampling is desired because it enhances the accuracy of error estimation and provides a convenient means of making inferences about the population. Over-sampling refer to a technique designed to increase the frequency of subjects with low prevalence in a sample. This technique may be applicable in circumstances where random sampling results…

Operations and Quality Management Introduction Globally, many businesses and organizations are increasing their ventures into new projects and initiatives.

Position paper I agree that although New York’s States Bail Reform Bill will significantly reduce pretrial incarceration levels, some serious concerns have not been addressed in this reform. The new bail law will do away with cash bail and pretrial detention in about 90 percent of the arrests made while the judges will maintain the option of setting cash bail in the remaining cases. This will guarantee To start with, the New York bail reform law states that for cases involving non-violent and misdemeanors felonies, cash bail will no longer be an option. Judges will not consider releasing those charged with minor crimes on cash bail but rather on their recognizance or with release orders developed to make sure that the individual will come to court, such as text reminders for court dates or pretrial supervision. On the other hand, cases of those charged with violent felonies will still have a judge’s option to set bail. Although this might reduce the number of arrests made, it does not guarantee the reduction of crime rates. In New York, the judges are…

What can cause repetitive motion injury? According to OSHA, repetitive motion injuries are the most common injuries in the US. They happen as a result of repetitive actions in daily living. This type of damage makes up to 50% of injuries seen by doctors, and they cause a massive loss in terms of workforce cost. The most common RMI include tendonitis, bursitis, ganglion cyst, epicondylitis, trigger finger, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tenosynovitis. People with these problems at times may not show any visible signs of injuries but still may not have the capacity to perform simple tasks. This could be an indication that your muscle tissues may be experiencing RMI. You can also experience pain, numbness, or tingling, which are common symptoms for repetitive motion injuries. Such injuries can occur while a person in training for a game or at a workplace. It is, however, essential for a person to limit stressing muscles through repetitive activities. Try and ensure to maintain the same posture for extended periods, and minimize lifting heavy objects. When such injuries occur, You must see a…

gathering wealth On finding the ring, the first thing would be to amass a few riches for self before going on to help others. The riches would be for security purposes especially since the powers might be cut off as fast as they came to be. In the eventuality that the ring’s power would be gone with time, having a few treasures can guarantee a life of comfort at least on this earth. This cannot be a long-term thing and thus the focus would be on taking wealth that is already amassed and moving it to a personal account. However, the money must be taken from a person that took it illegally and more than he/she could ever need in life. It would also make sense to try and expose selfish leaders and companies and try to change aspects such as documents to ensure that the right people get what they need. Many people would focus on gathering wealth for themselves. Today’s world is capitalistic in such a manner that it can be almost impossible for one to survive without…

source of creativity A friend of a friend recently got a job in a company that makes tiny homes in the country, which is a way of living that many people are getting to enjoy. Although he was a very creative and practical person with his hands, getting into the new business has brought out new creativity that nobody anticipated. He proved that apart from using his hands in a practical manner, he could visualize spaces that he could use for different purposes faster than anybody else. Even those that trained him in work have said that he is talented and can see what many people could never. Questions about the source of creativity What is creativity to you? To me, creativity is a process through which one takes their knowledge and circumstances and uses these to get what they require. Most of the time, the ideas are not out-of-the-box while thinking and they appear to be normal. It is only after implementation that one sees that they got what they wanted without going out of budget or using too…
