Taking a Look at Malnutrition - 1761 Words

Malnutrition is defined as â€Å"lack of proper nutrition, caused by not having enough to eat, not eating enough of the right things, or being unable to use the food that one does eat†. Some may argue that the main concept of malnutrition has to do with the amount of food and water that a certain group of people consumes in a specific location. Others are more likely to argue that it has to do with the bacteria and things that the food and water contain. It is both of these things. Malnutrition is a serious problem worldwide, but there is particular concentration in certain areas in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Not only is malnutrition an issue with the general population of people, but it is the biggest contributor to the deaths of children. There are political, economic, and cultural factors about this issue that can be analyzed to further explain the global health issue of malnutrition in children, and its international response. Malnutrition is a major topic, but what some people do not know about it is that there are many different aspects to it, which causes it to be such a broad topic. That can also leave one ignorant to a lot of the general information about all malnutrition is. Over 2 billion of the world’s population suffer from malnutrition. It is also a hidden, yet prominent cause of death in children, taking the lives of 2.6 million kids, which is a third of global child deaths. A common misconception about malnutrition is that it is only a field in itself.

The obvious genre is Science Fiction because one of the main themes of the series is the paranormal.

There is also a Horror/Gothic element to the series because many investigations†¦show more content†¦The affect of this is that the man seems vulnerable, and raises the audiences suspicion of what is going to happen to him. There is then a tracking shot of the man inter-cut with a close up of a roadside drain, where the creature Tooms is lurking. When focused on the drain, the camera slowly zooms in. when the camera cuts back to the man; it is a low angle tracking shot. This low angle shot gives the impression to the audience that they are looking through the eyes of whatever is in the drain. This gives the scene a sinister and foreboding atmosphere. This is emphasised when the camera zooms in of the businessman in a low angle shot and gradually becomes slow motion. The entire colour is then drained out of the frame except for the man. This emphasises the earlier point, and suggests the creature in the drain is focusing all his attention and malice on the man. At this point there is a section of music that sounds computer generated, almost alien. This adds to the malice of the creature and is repeated throughout the opening scene when there is evidence that the creature in the drain is near. This shot is then followed by a close up of the drain, showing two strange pale eyes.

Breach of Duties by the Directors

Question: Write about theBreach of Duties by the Directors. Answer: Introduction: The presentation is about the study of the recent case law in which the Federal Court of Australia held director of company liable under Corporation Act 2001 for breach of the duties. In Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) vs. Cassimatis (2016) FCA 1023, the Australian Combined court had determined that the description of care duties which is to be owed by the directors under section 180(1) of the Corporation Act. The court held that the director of the economy services had violate his duties as director, as it was the responsibility of the director to be cognizant that his company was probably to breach the provisions of the Corporations Act, with the ruinous effect for the company (Aganin, 2016). Facts of the Case: Storm Financial Limited (in short Storm) was the Australian economy services licence holder and the company had given the economical services as per the model development by Mr. Cassimatis. He is one of the two directors of the company i.e. Storm. The model of Mr. Cassimatis involved the clients borrowed against the fairness for their homes, also obtained the edge loans and the company used those funds for investing in the index funding and creating a cash reserve. The project was enforced to all of the clients of the company as the only condition is that they have the capability to borrow the funds. As the company i.e. Storm used the double gearing model due to which the investors continued grave losses during the period of the Global Economical Crisis (Anderson and Feist, 2017). Australian Investment and Securities commission had commenced the proceedings in the year 2010 against both the directors i.e. Mr and Mrs Cassimatis alleging that the duties of care and diligence had been breached as being the director of the company it was their duty under section 180(1) of the corporation act (Bostock, 2012). Australian Investment and Securities commission had alleged that both the directors had made breach of their duties when the company i.e. Storm was financially fit and they both were the directors of the company and shareholders, moreover there was no conflict that the directors had to manage the company i.e. Storm in conformity with the wishes of the shareowners (Burrows, 2010). Australian Investment and Securities commission had made allegations that the financial services provided as per the model to the class of the vulnerable investors who were very near to their retreat, has very limited assets income and there was zero anticipation of retrieving the economical position in the condition of loss. By doing this the company had made the breach of the provisions of the corporations act that there was the reasonable basis for the economical advice to the clients. Australian Investment and Securities commission had made allegations that the directors of the company had breach the duties under section 180(1) of the corporation act as following: Both the directors of the company had cause or permit the company i.e. Storm to administer advice to their investors as per the model which results that the Storm had made contravene to the provisions of the Corporations act (Anderson and Feist, 2017). Both the directors of the company had cause or permit the company i.e. Storm to administer the financial advice in the manner as it violate the provisions of the Corporations act, 2001(Cline, 2000). The allegations of the Australian Investment and Securities commission was that the exposure of the company i.e. Storm to the risk was more than it would have if any director acting with due care and diligence (Grantham, 1991). Section 180(1) of the Corporations Act: Section 180 of the Corporation act, 2001 had brought the civil obligation which says that the director or the other officer of the company should at all the time perform the reasonable degree of care and diligence in performing their powers and in discharge of their duties. Reasonable in the simple sense means that the degrees of proper care and diligence which the reasonable person in such a situation in the corporation would perform in the same situation (Lim, 2013). The need for the director or the officer of the company to perform the reasonable test of care and diligence would be satisfied in regard to the particular business judgments where the director or the officer could make the judgement in the good faith and for a reasonable determination (Moore, 2016). The director or the officer of the company did not have the personal interest while making the judgment for the company. The director of company should rationally trust that the judgement made by him is in the good interes t of the company. In short, from the perusal of the readings of the Section 180 of the corporation act it is clear that the director or any of the officers of the company should take the active interest in the affairs of the company and also get the general understanding of the business of the company. In the present case, the Federal Court of Australia had analysis under section 180(1) of the corporation act that whether the director of the company i.e. Storm had performed the reasonable test of care and diligence while performing their powers in exonerate of their duties. The court found that the analysis involves the determination of all the circumstances which includes the ascertainable hazard of the damage in the interest of the company, the consequences of that damage, the major welfare which accumulates from the conduct of the director and to the essence to the company of any of the action to allay the ascertainable harm (Nwafor and Nwafor, 2014). In the present case the court held that the company i.e. Storm had made the breach of provisions of the corporation act which provides the financial services as per the model to the class of the vulnerable clients which are verified by the Australian Investment and Securities commission and the directors of the company had made breach of the duty of the due care and diligence because of the reason that the reasonable director of the company in such circumstances as like in the Storm and the responsibilities of the Mr and Mrs cassimatis will have to became aware of the strong prospect of the breach of the company act and if the directors had performed their actions to cause or to allowing the model of the Storm which was to enforced to the clients who were in the category to be pleaded by the Australian Investment and Securities commission, as the particular investors who would retired or very close to the retirement with the very less asset and few income (OFAC compliance in the secu rities and investment sector, 2012). The court held that the breach of the provisions of the corporations act by the company i.e. Storm were not merely accountable but the reasonable director is in the emplacement of the Cassimatis who would have found them as like (Sirignano and Farrell, 2005). The court held that the conduct of the directors of the company was the single breach by each of both of the directors and there were no multiple breaches relates with the no. of the investors who established the category of the vulnerable investors. Australian Investment and Securities commission had accepted that there was only one breach by each of the directors. The court had also held that if it is determined that Mr and Mrs Cassimatis had performed their act honestly and fairly with regard to the capital loss would never take place with the index find investiture in the model prepared by the Storm. The court found that the conduct of the directors cannot be relieved under Section 1317 of the corporations act as they have very important role and responsibilities and also the seriousness of the breaches of the provisions of the act made by the Storm (Worthington, 2001). Issues in the Case: The Judgement of the Federal Court of Australia involves the discussion on the many issues like as: Whether the breach by the Strom was mandatory for the directors to contravene section 180(1)? Australian Investment and Securities commission proceeded its case on the basis that the company i.e. Storm had actually contravene the provisions of the company act as the stepping stone of the contraventions by the directors under section 180(1). The court had suggested that the court had serious doubts on the conduct of the directors. Whether the actual breach was needed for the contravention by the directors under section 180(1) but it ran on the ground that the actual breach was required (Lim, 2013). The court had rejected the submission made by the Australian Investment and Securities commission that the actual contravention by the company was sufficient to create a contravene of section 180(1) by the directors of the company. Whether the duties prescribed under section 180(1) of the corporation act are owed by the company alone? Upon this issue the directors of the company had submitted that the duties prescribed under section 180(1) of the corporation act were owed by the company alone while Australian Investment and Securities commission had submitted that Section 180(1) of the corporation act gives a rules of conduct which is different from the interest of the company and the reason behind that the publics duty at large is owed by the directors (Grantham, 1991). The court had admitted the submissions made by the shareowners but also noted down that the interest of the company must not be seen narrowly and must not limited to the interest which was only for the shareholders. The interest of the company was not limited to the economical loss but also includes the damage made to reputation. Whether the directors could be liable for the breach of section 180(1) of the corporation act where the directors are the only share holders of the solvent company? The directors had made the submissions that the director is the sole share holder of the solvent company and it would not amount to violation of section 180(1) of the corporation act. The compliance was made on the ground that it is the duty of the director as well as the shareholders to assume the avocation of the profit. The directors had made submission that they had acted with due care and diligence even if they had contravened the provisions of the corporation act because they were the directors as well as the shareholders of the company (Anderson and Feist, 2017). The court had rejected the submissions and held that the submissions were not supported by the wordings of the section 180(1) of the corporation act. The shareholders might be able authorize the acts which are the contraventions under the corporation act but could not ratify them. Conclusion: In the end it is to be concluded that the stakeholders of the company had to perform their duties with due care and application. From the study of the present case law it has also been considered that the stakeholders of the financial fit company where they are the only share holders might violate their duties of the care and application and if the conduct as the director makes the company to violate the law, then the directors are liable. Furthermore it has also been considered that Australian Investment and Securities commission has shown their willingness to continue the proceedings in this situation, particularly when the violation of the provision of the corporation act had made an impact on the clients of the company. Where the directors adopts the course of the conduct as the model investiture strategy for the group or the class of the client investor, any violation of the corporation act which arise from the conduct and limited to the single breach of the duty.

Essay Prompt 1: You may never have considered history to be as important as it appears to be in 1984. Why does the government make efforts to control history in the novel? The government in 1984 tries to control history because if the people in the society didn't know about the past they aren't able to go against the government. This allows the government to control and change the past to what they want it to be. They could get rid of certain information that could reveal what they are actually like and they could also get rid of people that have went against them. An example of this from the book is when Winston had to rewrite the article from Times. He changed the information to what the government or party wanted it to say. He also changed the names and added made up information. He made the guy stated in the article, seem like he was a bad person by going against the government. After he had finished rewriting the

Financial management - Assignment Example Present value of the expected cash flows is computed by discounting them at the required rate of return (also called minimum rate of return); a zero NPV means the project repays original investment plus the required rate of return. A positive NPV means a better return, and a negative NPV means a worse return, than the return from zero NPV. It is one of the two discounted cash flow (DCF) techniques (the other is internal rate of return) used in comparative appraisal of investment proposals where the flow of income varies over time†. ...

Comparison of note from underground, conclusion and aurora leigh Essay

Comparison of note from underground, conclusion and aurora leigh - Essay Example He can envisage of love only as the total control of a person over another. In order to feel that he has contributed to life in some way; he often initiates arguments with others and subjects himself to profound humiliation. This gives the Underground Man a sense of satisfaction and power, as he was the cause of the shame himself. He barely cares if the outcome is negative or positive as long as he can exercise his power. When we encounter the Underground Man, he is a complete nihilist: he has no desire to interact with anyone and has total contempt for the society at large. As a young man, he is misanthropic, proud, self-effacing and bitter although he clings to certain ideas. He craves for human attention and wants others to respect and admire him for his intellect and zeal. His inability to interact with people causes his attempts to form relationships and contribute to life ends in tragedy and drives him further underground (David, & David, 2009). When he meets Liza, he has absorbed the fictitious epitome of the converted prostitute and has shed himself as the superman who will set free Liza. Later, however, her character becomes more intricate. At first, she matches the typecast of a young prostitute: bored, cynical, and somewhat naà ¯ve. He gives her a speech that moves her and she decides to visit him where she is turned away by cold words. Liza, even though a prostitute, still idealizes romantic love and longs for respect and affection. She treasures the one affirmation of love she has received, a note from a medical student who has no idea she is a prostitute. The Underground Man is touched by the fact that Liza so clearly treasures this letter, but his attitude toward her emotion is somewhat flippant. She is disappointed at how the Underground Man treats her after she had come to him with help and love. In Elizabeth Barett Browning’s Aurora Leigh, there is the theme of love and people who are willing to love.

Mental Health Facility Closure: Effects on Patients

Mental Health Facility Closure: Effects on Patients Patrick A. Mallare Mental health facilities provide different services to a person at any age who are experiencing mental and emotional crisis. Some of these services include alcohol and substance abuse treatment, behavioral disorders treatment, rehabilitations and support groups. These facilities are very helpful to our society as mental health professionals work together to help and support those people in need to regain their good mental health and live normally. There are several mental health facilities around the world, however, some of these facilities are planning to close or had closed already. Some reasons of the facilities closure are related to financial issues, non-compliance with the laws and regulations or quality of care complaints. There is one in York, the Bootham Park hospital (public adult mental health hospital) have decided to closed in October 2015 with only five days notice. Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspectors came unannounced and found it was unfit for purpose and that patients were at significant risk of harm (Slawson, 2015) and forced to close in 5 days. But, per Greenwood (2016), there is a speculation that the hospital will be sold to private developers. Another mental health facility, the Community Counseling Centers of Chicago which is known as one of the largest providers of mental health services to poor North Siders; which cares for more than 10,000 patients, including children (Chicago, 2015) was about to close in May 2015 due to financial difficulties. But because of the concern to 10,000 existing patients, C4 remained open with partnership agreement to CountyCare, Cook County Health Hospitals Systems Medicaid health plan (Zumbach, 2015). Closure of any facilities whether it is small or big facilities matters to all the patients and their families as well as the employees and healthcare professionals. Mental health facilities closure has big impact to everyone especially the patients who are seeking help for their recovery. Serious problems might be encountered and will greatly affect their lives. The first option that patients will do if facility closes is to find a new facility where they would be accepted to receive the care that they need. And, looking for a new place means changing their healthcare provider. In this situation, any changes will be difficult for these kinds of patients with mental and behavioral disorders. Like what Fawcett (2014) mentioned in her article, Medical records can be transferred in the blink of an eye but it takes much longer to open up to someone and feel comfortable talking about your symptoms, particularly if you have a stigmatized psychological disorder such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. And, building rapport and developing a doctor-patient relationship could be difficult as well. Amy Watson, an associate professor at University of Chicago-Illinoiss Jane Adams College of Social Work who specializes in mental health policy, also stated that it takes months before youre in a position where you might know that person, trust that person and feel comfortable with really working on things with them (Fawcett, 2014). It is difficult to build a trusting relationship to anyone especially for patients with severe mental disorders/illnesses. In this situation, physical and emotional challenges may be experienced and this will affect their decision whether they will be interested to look for another facility for their treatment or just do nothing. Per Hwong (2016), San Franciscos county jail is the largest mental health facility wherein 35 to 40 percent of inmates are getting treatment for mental illness. Closure of mental health facilities is one of the reason why people with mental health issues especially poor people ended up in jail. One example that Fawcett (2014) mentioned in her article, a homeless person sleeping on somebodys car will be arrested for trespassing when the driver calls the police. In this situation, it is not really their intention to scare people. They just dont have any place to go to. And, if those homeless people are mentally ill and was not receiving the medication treatment that theyre supposed to take, then their behaviors will show and will act differently. Closure of mental health facilities or other healthcare facilities is very devastating. Patients, families, employees and healthcare professionals cannot control or stop this kind of situation. It is the owners responsibility on how to maintain the facilitys integrity, quality of care and compliance to laws and regulation to meet the quality standards in a facility. But, before both parties agrees with the closure of the facilities, they should think about their existing patients too who really needed their help. For some people with mental and behavioral disorders, that place is the only place that they know for sure a safe place to stay and get recovered. So, when people try to take away this place to them, they might be in distress again, panic and make them more confuse. I agreed with Hwong (2016) statement: Directing funding to mental health and housing services rather than more criminal justice facilities is a first step in the right direction, but clinicians and consumers must be part of the process; If we dare, we can develop innovative solutions for mental heal th care ones that allow people to live with the kind of dignity and justice that we all deserve. This is one of the main solution and alternative shelter and a place for continues recovery for people with mental and behavioral disorders when mental facilities decided to close.

Required classes for college students Essay -- essays research papers

"Open Your Eyes" Open your eyes, clean out your ears, sit down and listen, straighten your back, keep your head forward and be ready to have an open mind? Having an open mind is a good quality to have while experiencing different situations that you may encounter. People have many different opinions and ideas which they are expressing in today's society. College is another step along the journey of life that a select few will experience. College should be first priority on everybody's agenda in order to be successful in this struggling world. People need education outside of their own studies to broaden their horizons. People are sometimes stuck in their own "little world" and do not realize the important factors of life. Hopefully, college students will realize the importance of the classes which they are taking in college courses, and that the classes have meaning. Students may not understand the meaning of these required classes at the time which they are required, but someday t! hey may understand. College students may think basic required classes is just busy work, wasted time, and a waste of their money. There is another intention to why these classes are required. Imagine that you are the Vice President of a well known company while sitting there in a meeting with the President of the same company and all of your coworkers. Somebody says to you Mr. VP, what do you think about the Checks and Balances of our American Government? What is Mr. VP ...

Example a Level Psychology Experiment Essay

Hypothesis – there will be a significant positive relationship between the scores on a memory test and scored on a test to predict your chance of being a millionaire Null Hypothesis – there will be no significant relationship between scores on a memory test and scores on a test measuring the chances of becoming a millionaire and any relationship is due to chance Method: Design – the method of the experiment was a correlational study; this was used in order to see whether there was a relationship between the scores on a memory test and scores on a millionaire test. The experiment used co variables, which were the score on the memory test and score on the millionaire test. Controls – in order ensure the test was reliable the extraneous variables needed to be controlled. Standardised instructions were used as a control to give all participants the same instructions during the experiment, which meant that the experimenter did not affect the communication of the instructions by changing them for each participant which reduces the amount on experimenter bias. A further control that was used was using anonymous data by assigning each participant a number to record that data on a table, rather than using individual’s names. Participants – the target population for the experiment were young people in the Gosport area of each gende r. The sampling method was an opportunity sample of 10 students aged 17-18 both males and females (2 males and 8 females) at Bay House Sixth Form from an A Level Psychology class and the researcher was a Psychology teacher at Bay House Sixth Form. Apparatus and Materials – the materials used for the experiment were a list of 34 words created by the researcher that were projected onto the board, paper and pens provided for the participants to record the number of words they remembered, a watch to time the one minute period of remembering and writing down the words, an online questionnaire to measure likelihood of becoming a millionaire at bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/surveys/millionaire1/index.shtml Procedure – the participants were firstly given an explanation of the research and what the study would entail for them. They were them given the equipment they required to complete the memory test whilst remaining anonymous and were given standardise instructions by the researcher of how to complete the test and the rules of the research. The participants were then shown the list of 34 words to memorise by projecting the list on the board and where given one minute to memorise as many words as possible. The words were then hidden and the researcher projected instructions to the participants to write down all the words they remembered and they were given one minute to do so. The number of words memorised were recorded by the researcher by assigning each participant with a number and they stated out loud their score. The participants were then asked to move to a computer room to complete an online survey to test their likelihood of becoming a millionaire, after they completed the questionnaire the participants had to record their score next to their memory score on a board. The participants were then debriefed by the researcher. Ethics – there were few ethical issues in the experiment as informed consent was gained by the researcher to ensure the participants were given instructions and the aim of the research. Therefore, there was no deception in the research and so the integrity of the study was intact during the memory and millionaire tests. Furthermore, all the participants were over 16 and so there was no need for the researcher to obtain parental consent for the study. Participants were also given the right to withdraw before and during the research, therefore the participants were not pressured to take part or complete the study if they were not comfortable with the terms of the research or what the data was being used for. However, there may be ethical issues regarding the wellbeing of the participants during the research as the study may have caused stress or anxiety in the participants when completing the memory or millionaire tests because they may feel the pressure to do well in each test, although the research was anonymous and so this may have reduced the amount of stress caused by the study. Scatter Graph for Data: The scatter graph shows that there is a weak negative correlation between memory test scores and millionaire test scores, which means that it does not necessrily prove our hypothesis that there will be a significant postive relationship between the two co variables. Therefore, the hypothesis needs to be rejected and the null hypothesis can be accepted as the null hypotehsis reflects what our results show on the scatter graph. The graph can also help identify outliers, as the partipant that scored significantly higher on the memory test and lower on this millionaire test could be regarded as an outlier as it does not follow the pattern of the other data found from the research. Evaluation: Design – the design that was used in this research was correlational, which is good as allows us to identify if there is a relationship between two co variables as well as allowing research to be conducted that cannot be done in a lab experiment as is would not be viable. However, correlational studies do not show cause and effect between the two co variables and so it cannot be stated that having a good memory will cause a person to become a millionaire in the future as it could just as easily be that being a millionaire causes a person to have a good memory. Sample – the sample that as used in this study was very small, as only 10 people took part in the research; also the participants were psychology students. Therefore due to the small sample and the specific type of participant the results may not be able to be generalised to the wider population. Furthermore, gender may have been an issue with the sample as there were only 2 males, whereas there were 8 females, therefore there was not an equal mix of each gender and so the results cannot be generalised. Tests – the tests that were used in the study were a memory test created by the researcher and an online questionnaire to predict that chance that the participants would have of becoming a millionaire. The memory test was good as it used standardised instructions, meaning that the test was more reliable as the same instructions were shown to all participants at the same time, which reduces the amount on researcher bias and means that participants can query any confusion they have. Moreover, the standardise instructions mean that there is high control in the research and so the results are reliable. The millionaire test may have had some issues as the closed questions that were used may have not provided an applicable answer, resulting in participants answering questions incorrectly which may have an effect on the results.

Essay on Thomas Mores Utopia and His Context - 3405 Words

Utopia is Sir Thomas More’s seminal work, depicting a fictitious island and its religious, social, and political customs. Working as an advisor to King Henry VIII, More was aware of the issues of his time such as ridiculous inflation, corruption, wars for little or no purpose, courtly ostentation, the abuse of power by the absolute monarchs, and the maltreatment of the poor. Consequently, More used Utopia to contrast some unique and refreshing political ideas with the chaotic politics of his own country. It is important to note that More did not intend to provide an exact blueprint for a perfect society, rather he merely presents his ideas in the form of a political satire, revealing the evils of his time. More wrote his novel in 1516,†¦show more content†¦As in Platos Republic, a work from which More drew while writing Utopia, Mores work In Book 1 presents his ideas through a dialogue between two characters, Raphael Hythloday and More himself. Hythloday is a fictional character who describes his recent voyage in Book 2 to the paradise of Utopia. Throughout the work, Hythloday describes the laws, customs, system of government, and way of life that exist in Utopia to an incredulous and somewhat condescending More. The letters at the beginning of the novel raise questions about the reality or the verisimilitude of Utopia, as well as the accuracy of More’s reporting. More asks Gilles to ‘check if [he] has left anything out’. More also questions the accuracy of ‘the distance of the bridge across the river Nowater at Aircastle’, which he believes to be 500 yards, but his assistant believes it was 200 yards. He admits that ‘if you say I’m wrong, I’ll assume that I’ve made a mistake’. This shows More’s indecisiveness of getting the facts right. Ironically, More uses paradoxes in regards to his naming of places and characters. Utopia, can mean both â€Å"no place† and â€Å"good place†. The name of his protagonist, Raphael Hythloday roughly translates to: â€Å"the speaker of nonsense†. The name of the river in Utopia’s capital, Aircastle is â€Å"Nowater†. These paradoxes show that although More thought this to be his ideal society, he knew that there would never be a place that couldShow MoreRelatedThe Paradox Of Thomas Mores Utopia As An Adjective?1441 Words   |  6 PagesWhen Thomas More penned Utopia in 1535, he not only created a new genre in fiction, he also created a new adjective.   Miriam-Webster defines Utopia as: a place of ideal perfection especially in laws, government, and social conditions.
