Write an essay outlining the brief history of and improvement of patient care in Ontario focusing around technology and the widening scope of practice for paramedics In Ontario, Canada. This should be mentioning the BHP ( Base Hospital System ), BLS and ALS and how technology such a stretchers, ambulances, cardiac monitors and other pieces of technology increase the quality of care provided and how it is affecting the mortality rates. What this looks like moving forward and how the science of paramedicine changes daily. It needs just a few loose references and can be relaxed into more of an opinion piece as long as the viewpoint is pro universal and progressive healthcare as it relates to Canada through the eyes of a paramedic. Citing can be done in APA or MLA which ever is easiest. Does not need to be super technical in the details but it should come from an understanding of the health care system as a whole. Abbreviations are okay once used and clarified previously in the paper. Lastly the paper should mostly focus on perspective of Primary Care and Advanced Care Paramedics with maybe a little bit of reference to Critical Care Air Paramedics

Do you believe children today still experience this type of epiphany from their daily experience within a technologically infused society? Consider the role of technology and the impact of the vanishing “nuclear family.”

Both James Joyce’s “Araby” and Annie Dillard’s “The Chase” portray the coming of age of two young protagonists.  Joyce’s “Araby” portrays the coming of age of a young boy who lives in an impoverished town.  Though he navigates through his young life filled with dreams and aspirations of beauty and promise, he eventually encounters disappointment at the bazaar.  Similarly, Dillard presents what she believes to be a prescription for living fully.  During the chase, Dillard discovers a dichotomous view of life.  She views adulthood from a child’s perspective and reveals her epiphany.  But she also encounters a powerful disillusionment.

Your assignment is to focus on the theme of innocence and the impact of epiphanies.  Both of these young protagonists experience an important awareness that is critical to their transformation from childhood to adulthood.  But they experience this necessary insight through interacting with life. Do you believe children today still experience this type of epiphany from their daily experience within a technologically infused society? Consider the role of technology and the impact of the vanishing “nuclear family.”

 

Your answer to the bolded and underlined question becomes your thesis statement.  Take a clear stance for or against children experiencing a powerful epiphany in the modern age. Then support your stance with clear, relevant quotes from both stories. You might consider some of the following elements of society:

 

Family—How is the role of family leading to or detracting from childhood epiphanies?

Friends—Are friends still a crucial element in a child’s life? If so, how?

Influential people or role models—media personalities, neighbors, teachers, coaches, etc.

Social sites—How have these replaced, if at all, children’s games that often led to discovery

and new insight? Has the internet removed much of the necessary romanticism or fantasy play crucial to a child’s development?

Games—How have video games enhanced or removed a child’s ability to experience life and gain

new awareness?

Conversations—Have phones removed a child’s need for privacy or have they provided an outlet?

 

Develop your topics in coherent paragraphs.  You are encouraged to provide outside sources as support for your ideas.  If you include research, follow MLA format when including parenthetical citations.  Also, include a Works Cited page (even if you do not include research).  Use the concepts you have learned in both the feedback included in your previous essays and the lessons on proper use of grammar and citation of outside sources to write a clear, well-developed essay.  You must also attach an outline to the final draft.  Remember that anything short of five to six pages will adversely affect the overall grade of your masterpiece.  This is your chance to exhibit your insightful critical thinking skills.  Be creative with this assignment and analyze Joyce’s “Araby” or Dillard’s “The Chase” from a unique perspective.  Strive for originality and profundity.

What is the difference in self-care knowledge and attitude between American and Saudi students in the U.S.? How do Saudi male students perceive personal hygiene as compared to female students?

/in /by

Oral diseases tend to be linked to specific behaviors of an individual. That is why specific infectious disease prevalence had declined when personal hygiene was improved. Oral and hand hygiene are examples of activities that have been noted to impact the health of individuals (Cruz & Bashtawi, 2015). This research will analyze the nature of self-practice among Saudi students in the U.S. and how it affects their overall health. There is a difference in how Saudi students approached self-care and hygiene, as compared to other students. The reason as to why this difference exists needs to be further analyzed. It will help in identifying measures that will ensure they are also updated on hygienic practices.

The prevalence of tooth decay in children aged 12-14 years was quite high, at 93.7%, among Saudi students (Al Subait et al., 2016). When compared to male students, female students had a better understanding of oral hygiene, which is why more of them brushed their teeth frequently as needed (Al Subait et al., 2016). Therefore, there is a difference in how males and females approach hygiene (Cruz et al., 2015).

Self-practice may also relate to how an individual care for the skin in response to the U.V. rays. Most skin diseases are caused by exposure to the U.V. radiation, which damages the cells and impacts its growth (Al Ghamdi et al., 2015). Without the right knowledge on what products to use and the right attitude towards the associated risk, individuals will not be motivated to take protective measures. Among the Saudi students living in the U.S., little is known regarding their level of awareness and behaviors that relate to exposure to the sun and protection against the U.V. rays (Al Ghamdi et al., 2015). Hand Hygiene is yet also a focus for many researchers. It is also impacted by the level of knowledge held by Saudi students in the U.S. (Hamadah et al., 2015).

Also, students need to understand the importance of personal hygiene when interacting with others as it will prevent the transmission of infections (Alsager et al., 2018). Therefore, it has already been established that self-care relates to having sufficient knowledge and better attitudes towards hygiene. Unfortunately, there is a gap in the literature concerning the steps taken to improve these factors among Saudi students in the U.S.  The current research aims to identify the difference that exists in self-care knowledge and attitude between the American and Saudi students in the U.S. It is an essential consideration since the results will help in improving the hygiene practices of students, thereby dealing with the spread of infectious diseases in the Universities.

Primary Question: What is the difference in self-care knowledge and attitude between American and Saudi students in the U.S.?

Null hypotheses: There is no difference in self-care knowledge and attitude between American and Saudi students in the U.S.

Hypotheses: When compared to the Americans, Saudi students lack sufficient knowledge relating to hygiene, which triggers a negative attitude that impacts their self-care practice.

Secondary Question: How do Saudi male students perceive personal hygiene as compared to female students?

Submit a profile of a serial offender that you will be selecting on your own. You can choose an offender discussed in the text, online, from other books, or any other resource. Once you select your offender, you will: Discuss if the offender fits the common profile of the serial murder offender. This requires much more than providing a biography of the serial killer. Apply a typology used in the text and apply it to the offender. In doing so, explain how the offender aligns with the typology. Discuss how the particular offender’s crimes were solved (if applicable: if they were unresolved, discuss this, too); and the resolution of the case.
