Creating A Culture Of Diversity Healthcare For Veterans
...Doctoral Creating Diversity
Elder Veterans and Health Care Services
The focus of my dissertation is toward the aged American population, particularly the elderly veterans. I will be considering the type and quality of care they receive for the remainder of their old age. Currently, there are programs and health services targeted toward that group. I am interested in the approaches and activities of such programs and other similar programs that might need to be implemented through congressional deliberation and approval. Gerontology is receiving significant attention from researchers in the American space due to the steady incline of the aged American population.
Through the evaluation of certain tendencies within the group of elderly veterans, intervention measures can be provided. Known risk-factors within this group include mental illnesses and war-related disabilities/amputations, which are potential triggers for suicidal behavior/tendency with increasing age (Reid, 2018). Also, there is an increasing sense of hopelessness associated with……

Self Regulation Proposal
...Doctoral Response to Self-Regulation Proposal
Standards and Culture in Self Regulation
Introduction
The pitfalls of self-regulation are not unknown: object lessons abound in Tyco, WorldCom, Enron, Arthur Andersen, and several others (Pritchard, 2003). What to make then of a proposal for the implementation of self-regulation, thus decreasing regulatory oversight of our company? On the one hand, few firms are going to reject such a proposal as it means less red tape for them; on the other hand, compliance is culture and a culture without it can quickly turn into a slippery slope down the same path taken by the companies already mentioned. Yet, as Omarova (2011) points out, an industry without self-regulation is one unlikely to address the problems that plague it: at some point, accountability and firm responsibility is needed to address issues that by and large elude regulators by more than a few paces. The problem of relying regulators……

Israel And Palestine A Problem Of Two Cultures
...Doctoral Understanding Israel and Palestine
Part 1
“A denial of life is a rejection of the God of life” (Keum 4). This gets to the heart of what I felt as I experienced Palestine for myself. Seeing the West Bank in person allowed me to witness a whole new level of marginalization and oppression that I had never seen before—even though I had been to South Africa and India. Here the marginalization was so deliberate, so offensive, so hypocritical and unchristian that I was shocked to find Christians here in Bethlehem who still found joy in life and calmly expressed their faith in God. To see the Israelis treating the people on the West Bank with such contempt, illegally building settlements, bulldozing their acreage and fruit trees and homes, erecting barriers of humiliation, treating these people like animals and criminals—it was to understand exactly the affirmation of the WCC publication that……

Cloud Computing And Cost Effectiveness
...Doctoral A Study of how Cloud Computing related to Cost-Effectiveness
Annotated Bibliography
Carcary, M., Doherty, E., & Conway, G. (2015). The adoption of cloud computing by Irish SMEs- an exploratory study. Electronic Journal of Information Systems Evaluation, 17(1), 3.
This article ascertains that the major reason why SMEs in Ireland adopt cloud computing is for cost-effectiveness. The study shows that cloud computing supports greater capacity levels and also protracted capabilities of the organization, devoid of incurring additional costs, which would have otherwise required investment in personnel training, infrastructure, and software. Also, a key feature of cloud computing is its capacity to diminish the financial burden that is placed on firms in technology adoption. The authors also demonstrate that cost reduction can be achieved through the capability to shift from a CAPEX cost structure to an OPEX one. Cloud computing also facilitates the utilization of resources as it eradicates the necessity for the organization……

Carreiro, H., & Oliveira, T. (2019). Impact of transformational leadership on the diffusion of innovation in firms: Application to mobile cloud computing. Computers in Industry, 107, 104-113.
The authors of this article maintain that leadership forms one of the main factors for organizational adoption of successful innovation. But researchers have yet to delve into the subject of leadership elements impacting adoption stages (namely, initiation, implementation, and ‘routinization’). This research involved authors formulating and empirically testing a model based on transformational leadership elements as well as diffusion of innovation model phases, utilizing PLS technique and information from as many as 154 companies, for studying the implementation of novel technology, namely MCC (mobile cloud computing). Factors like corporate vision, supportive leaders, intellectual stimulation, and personal acknowledgment are important when it comes to implementation intent. In contrast, supportive leaders are a driving factor……

Influence Of Political Interests Groups On The Educational Policy
...Doctoral Budget and Resource Allocation Influence of Political Interest Groups on the Educational Policy Making Process
Introduction
State support for public education has wavered over time as a consequence of other competing interests. This is more so the case given the competing demands of a wide range of other things including, but not limited to, healthcare (i.e. Medicaid). There are, however, variations from state to state. There is need for educational theorists, education policy practitioners and various other stakeholders in the education framework to better comprehend the various political forces having an impact on state fiscal policy. This text concerns itself with the influence of political interest groups on the educational policy-making process, with regard to budget and resource allocation. The context of this particular discussion will be Florida and Texas.
Discussion
Interest groups do not have an assigned definition. This is to say that there is no single accepted definition……

Psychology Counseling And Reflecting On The Process Of Group Dynamics
...Doctoral
All mental health professionals will be working in a team or group environment at some point, even if they have established themselves in a private practice or run their own businesses. The coursework and experience provided through GRPL 6100 (group counseling lab), COUN 6320S (group course), COUN 6320S, Group Counseling and Guidance in Schools, and COUN 6250: Group Process and Dynamic, have provided insight and opportunities to learn most of the essential skills and competencies for mental health practice. Not only do these courses help mental health professionals build their group counseling skills and understand group dynamics better, they also prepare us for working with teams of other professionals whose ideas and views might differ from our own.
Being a member of a group is both challenging and also rewarding. The challenges are mainly those related to conflict resolution and communication. I learned how I react to various stressors such……

Using An Epidemiological Approach To Critically Analyze A Population
...Doctoral Introduction
Psychosocial Factors. A feeling of workplace well- being serves as a key component of employee strategy. Of late, there has been considerable focus on this element, particularly in the healthcare sector and with healthcare workers. In western countries, the combination of an unappealing workplace atmosphere, work-linked stress, a shortage of practitioners, and an increasingly elderly population underscores the necessity of updated studies in this area. The concept of well- being is a summative one, encompassing physical, societal, and emotional facets within as well as external to the organization (i.e., workplace). Further, it is a key factor determining productivity – psychosocial, organizational climate, which encompasses work climate, social support, and works recognition is believed to have a significant influence on the workplace well- being. Psychosocial elements make up elements like job satisfaction, physical workload, and social support on the job (Goetz, Berger, Gavartina, Zaroti & Szecsenyi, 2015).
Psychosocial elements denote……
