Abstract

Conscientious objection on the part of a nurse is not taken lightly by the nurse, the facility, co-workers, or patients. There is a wide range of procedures in which a nurse may refuse participation, but there are steps to take prior to the situation occurring in order for the facility to make arrangements to allow the procedure to take place. Nurses are protected legally in cases of conscientious objection, but this does not allow a person to deny participation in one instance and not in another nor to apply conscientious objection without discussion with administration. This paper discusses ten Continue reading...

LITERATURE REVIEW

Concerns over the viability of the existing framework for determining technological spillovers vis-à-vis MNCs have grown, mainly because the predominant framework characterized by theories of production function did not provide consistent findings on the link between spillover occurrence and FDIs.

Gachino emphasized that such inconsistencies arise from varying methodologies as well as specificities in firms, industries and nations.

The study by Gachino is in tune with the current context describing the lack of consistency in findings on the spillover occurrence-FDI connection using the predominant framework on theories of production function.
The spillover literature takes into account variables related to variations in time, types of industries, and those related to space and location, and endogenous technological changes. Continue reading...

Abstract

Hospital-acquired infections have always been a major impediment to high-quality health care especially in regards to fast patient recovery. These infections occur when the patient is exposed to bacteria and viruses possibly acquired from another patient in the same hospital. Most of the hospital-acquired infections are however preventable. Some simple strategies can be introduced in these health settings, and these can have a significant impact in terms of reducing the number of infections that are transmitted to patients around the hospital. It is from this aspect that this paper draws its premise. This paper aims to look at one Continue reading...

According to the Oxford Dictionary of English (2010), a slumlord is “A landlord of slum property, typically one who charges extortionate rents”. Concurrently, the literature on slum proprietors and slum dwellers provide two distinct ways of defining a slumlord, each revolving around the given definition. First, based on property ownership, some of the literature identifies a slumlord as the proprietor of an area befitting the characteristics of a slum.

Abstract

Workplace diversity is a broad and often contentious term to define fully. However, its abuses lead the United States Congress to pass Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1969, which created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and tasked it to implement the Act and the subsequent diversity laws, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 and the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Historically, the acceptance of the diversity concept particularly among companies took years to grow. And EEOC’s enforcement power came years after its establishment in 1969. Managing workplace diversity only gained favor Continue reading...

Socialism emerged as the burgeoning working class’s response to the socio-economic dislocation and bifurcation they experienced amidst drastic changes that took place in western societies as industrialization and modernization were transpiring.

However, F. Engels wrote that Marx was Continue reading...
