THE BRASS RAIL

Alice Masters is an Area Manager employed by a restaurant chain with branches across the UK. Six weeks ago she moved Brian Marsden to make him manager of one of the restaurants situated in Wanden. There has been a period of management instability at this branch. Prior to Brian two ineffective managers had been employed who each worked at this branch for about six months. Then followed a branch manager who was competent but who had to return to his home country at short notice because of urgent family problems. He had also only been in the job for six months. Alice knows that Brian is technically competent and he has managed a number of different branches in the seven years he has been with the group. However, Alice is also aware that employees have sometimes found him rather strict. On one occasion a branch he managed had to be closed for a week because of staff shortages due to a combination of staff leaving and others refusing to work with him.

There is one Deputy Manager, Diana Miller, at the branch. Diana and Brian arrange for one of them at least to always be present when the restaurant is open. Diana concentrates on the paper work but if there are any queries she simply refers them to Brian if at all possible. Each shift also has a shift supervisor, who is simultaneously a member of the waiting staff. The shift supervisors have smaller sections to deal with than other waiters but are reluctant to help out when members of waiting staff on other larger sections are over-worked.

Since Brian took over the Wanden branch Alice has noticed that sales have begun to recover though she has also noticed that labour turnover has increased significantly. Few members of staff have been there for as long as a year. Alice is aware that the previous branch manager had not had time to deal with a number of the managerial problems that had accumulated at the branch. She is also aware of some of the innovations that Brian has introduced at the branch. These innovations have included a ‘side orders competition’ for waiting staff. ‘Side orders’ consist of items such as bread and olives. The winner of this three-week competition for the highest sales of side orders gets a £50 gift voucher. All eight members of waiting staff are eligible to compete.   Alice is also aware that Brian has reactivated the distribution of training manuals for the waiters. Training manuals are also used for kitchen staff and their use had been allowed to lapse. A further change has been the more adequate laying of tables to include cutlery for side orders, wines glasses and side plates.

One day Alice is surprised to receive a formal grievance from a waitress employed at the Wanden Branch. Alice’s surprise is particularly because the grievance procedure is so infrequently used. The waitress’s complaint is primarily about her demotion from ‘waiter’ to ‘runner’. Alice arranges to see the waitress, Tracey Walters, and has a long discussion with her. The main issues that arose as a result of the interview are:

1. Tracey has been demoted because of a ‘three mistakes’ rule instituted by Brian. This rule involves demoting waiters to runners if the waiter makes three mistakes in one shift. Tracey has been the first person to suffer under this rule and although her basic rate of pay has not been affected, her capacity to earn tips has been significantly reduced. The mistakes Tracey admits she made were:

• Not to put ice in the glass of water when a customer had ordered iced water.

• Activating the ‘No’ button on the credit card machine, instead of getting the customer to activate the button themselves indicating that they did not want to include a tip. Tracey explained to Alice that she had done this herself so as not to irritate a customer who had already left a generous cash tip.

• Leaving a customer unattended to help a colleague on another section. Tracey explained that she had done this because the customer had only just come in and her colleague had had some customers waiting for 15 minutes because of a surge of customers into his section.

Tracey further maintains that, when Brian had informed her of her demotion, Brian had accepted that had she a good record but had insisted that rules were rules and that he did not want to hear any ‘buts’. Brian had added that the demotion would enable Tracey to learn how to work properly whilst doing ‘running’ work. It would also encourage other waiting staff to smarten up their act for fear that the same action would be taken with them. Tracey maintained though that her mistakes had been done during a second 12-hour shift. She has worked a 12 hour shift the previous day and she had agreed to work this second long shift because of staff shortages. Tracey also maintained that there had been no opportunity for to argue her case for not being demoted before the decision was taken by Brian.

2. Tracey is the second longest serving waiter and has been at the branch for more than two years. She combines her work with a Part-Time Business Studies degree course she is pursuing.

3. The work of ‘runners’ particularly involves fetching food from the kitchen, collecting dirty plates, laying tables, bringing drinks from the bar and returning empty glasses to the bar. They get 5% of the tips of waiters, whilst the bar staff and kitchen staff get 10%.

4. Sales are monitored by Brian but Tracey maintains that this has encouraged some staff to concentrate on sales credited to them and ignoring other work, such as helping over-worked staff and fetching food from the kitchen when a runner is not available. Such activity is also likely to increase their tips but not overall sales.

5. Whilst Training Manuals have been distributed there is little guidance on how to use them effectively. This is unfortunate because many of the questions in the manual are about situations that are not explained in the manual. It is even more unfortunate because the members of waiting staff are judged on the basis that they know everything that is in the manual.

6. The standards of management and supervision vary considerably. When Brian is not on shift there is a more relaxed atmosphere, which is however not always more productive. Tracey maintains that when Brian is in the restaurant some of the staff make great efforts to look busy, which can be in considerable contrast to their behaviour when Brian is either not on shift, or is working in the office.

Which one, (apple or LG), is better and more recommended to be used in health care for the nowadays and in the future?

Name of the paper:

Survey on Digital and Electronic Technologies’ Impacts on the Healthcare System: LG vs. Apple

A. When each section is completely written, please send it to us so that we read and review it with our instructor.

1. Number of up-to-date sources, to be used with the paper, should exceed 100 sources. We need to get a full copy of all the sources you are going to use. So, please send us a copy of all the sources.

The following are the Writing Instructions to the writer and what this paper should contain, and what topics to be included (We look forward that the writer is creative in including other relevant important topics he may find or suggest also):

1. The whole paper should focus on computerized and digitalized technology and its role in delivering services in health sector. The focus should NOT be on health, but rather, the role of Apple and LG applications in health service. A very vivid comparison should be demonstrated between these two throughout the whole paper.

1. All so far new inventions made in this field by Apple and LG

• When did either of Apple and LG start with these digitalized services? The step-by-step progress of each one should be elaborated.

1. Applications in use by both of them in this field. How those applications developed throughout years.
2. How far is it easy or complicated to use these Apple-and-LG applications by doctors, other health personals and patients?
3. The difference between Apple and LG applications

• Different ideas in different sections of the paper should be elaborated through using figures or tables, etc.
• Security & privacy: Are recording data kept confidentially?

1. TeleHealthcare in each of Apple and LG
2. Electronic medical record in each of Apple and LG
3. RFID in each of Apple and LG should be included

• Showing, mentioning and explaining some practical examples for each of those apps of Apple and LG, and how they function
• Which one, (apple or LG), is better and more recommended to be used in health care for the nowadays and in the future?

• Integrated medical records Electronic medical records allow all patient histories, test results, diagnoses and relevant information to be stored centrally in an online location.

1. Increased mobility Mobile software applications (aka mobile apps) are key to improving accessibility for patients and healthcare professionals.

• Digital transformation in healthcareis the positive impact of technology in healthcare. Telemedicine, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled medical devices, and blockchain electronic health records are just a few concrete examples of digital transformation in healthcare
• Wonders of artificial intelligence Artificial intelligence (AI) is more than just a digital transformation trend in healthcare. AI represents the epitome of medical innovation and industry players are eager to invest millions in it.

• Treating patients with virtual reality Virtual Reality (VR) is the pièce de résistance of digital transformation in healthcare. Its myriad of applications are profoundly changing the way patients are being treated.

• Patient electronic portals A patient portal is a secure online application that provides patients access to their personal health information and 2-way electronic communication with their care provider using a computer or a mobile device.Studies have shown that patient portals improve outcomes of preventive care and disease awareness and self-management.

1. Telemedicine Telemedicine is defined as the use of telecommunication technologies to facilitate patient to provider or provider to provider communication. Communication maybe synchronous with real-time 2-way video communication or asynchronous transmission of patient clinical information. In addition to communication, telemedicine may provide health information that is collected remotely from medical devices or personal mobile devices. This information may be used to monitor patients, track or change their behaviour

• Remote patient monitoring Studies evaluating community based Remote patient monitoring (telemonitoring) have shown that it improves patient outcomes for certain chronic conditions including; heart failure, stroke, COPD, asthma and hypertension. Patient data management systems (PDMS) are systems that automatically retrieve data from bedside medical equipment (namely patient monitor, ventilator, intravenous pump, and so forth).

• Electronic incident reporting Electronic incident reporting systems are web-based systems that allow healthcare providers who are involved in safety events to voluntarily report such incidents. Such systems can be integrated with the electronic health record (EHR) to enable abstraction of data and automated detection of adverse events through trigger tools.

• Improved Access to Medical Information and Data: One of the biggest benefits of the digital revolution has been the ability to store and access data. Healthcare professionals can now retrieve patient data from anywhere. Also, the intranet and internet have allowed healthcare professionals to share medical information rapidly with each other, resulting in more efficient patient care.

• Big Data and Cloud in healthcare Another great benefit of digital technology is that it allows clinicians to gather big data in minimal time. For those conducting epidemiological studies, research, or clinical trials, digital technology allows for the instant collection of data from a much more diverse and larger population than ever before. The generation and collection of huge amounts of data from a number of different sources in the healthcare field are now possible. This data is then used for analytics, making predictions about possible epidemics and ultimately preventing deaths.

• Health Apps: The digital revolution has also resulted in the development of hundreds of health apps. These apps enable patients to monitor their health and disease, provide them medical information, allow them access to test results and prompt them when it is time to get their check-up. Also, healthcare apps enable healthcare workers to quickly check on test results, drug dosing recommendations and other information they need urgently.

• Mobile health (applications used in detecting or preventing health issues) Mobile health (i.e. mHealth) is the use of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, to deliver healthcare and preventive health services. With wearable devices such as Fitbit or Apple Watch, people are able to monitor their heart rate and be informed of anything out of the ordinary. Healthcare providers also utilise mobile technology to access patients’ records and to communicate with patients and among providers.

• Telehealth and telemedicine (remote access and use of healthcare services) Telehealth is the use of information and communications technology (ICT) to access healthcare services remotely. Access to healthcare, especially for people who live in rural areas or have limited mobility, would improve with telehealth and telemedicine. For instance, people can use their mobile phones or other devices to log food that they ate , medication, and blood sugar levels that can be reviewed by nurses remotely.

• Consumer tech used to monitor and manage health data (wearables) The consumer’s use of wearable technology to monitor their own health has become mainstream over the last few years. Fitbitnot only counts the number of steps taken per day, monitors heart rate and sleep, but also predicts approaching menstrual cycles and fertile windows for women. A wearable device might even save a life in an emergency.
• The growth of wearable medical devices wearable medical device marketis expected to reach more than $27 million by 2023, a spectacular jump from almost $8 million in 2017. Some of the most common of these devices include:

1. Heart rate sensors
2. Exercise trackers
3. Sweat meters – used for diabetics to monitor blood sugar levels.
4. Oximeters – monitors the amount of oxygen carried in the blood, and is often used by patients with respiratory illnesses such as COPD or asthma.

• Importance of Online Health Education/Awareness Another key benefit of digital technologies is the availability of online education, specifically in regard to healthcare, health awareness. Today, there is a plethora of information available on the internet, yet you are not sure about its veracity or authentication

• Health Apps keep healthcare on your fingertips The digital revolution has also resulted in the development of health apps. They enable health monitoring; provide medical information, access to healthcare service providers and much more.

• Wearable Telemedicine Technology for the Healthcare Industry

• LG Electronics partnership with Amwell in developing new digital health solutions. What has this to say to Apple‘s digital health solutions?

• Benefits of digital health and Digital health can make healthcare more accurate Digital health has the potential to prevent disease and lower healthcare costs, while helping patients monitor and manage chronic conditions. It can also tailor medicine for individual patients. Electronic health records are one way to reduce medical errors, particularly by reducing mistakes made in administering medication.

• Digital Health Technologies Lead to More Empowered Patients Managing chronic illness is leading practitioners away from traditional paternalistic healthcare systems, in which healthcare providers make decisions with little to no input from patients, toward patient-centered models, in which patients are empowered to manage their own care.

• Digitalization can help make health systems responsive and sustainable Digital health technologies can improve access to health services, reduce costs, improve quality of care and enhance the efficiency of health systems. They can also provide opportunities for self-care. For example, remote monitoring devices and wearables help people better manage their own health, thereby reducing the burden on health systems and helping to make them more sustainable. Technologies that help people live healthier lives can also reduce costs for health systems.

• Digital health enables the transition from treatment to prevention Digital health technologies offer ways to self-manage health, with a focus on preventing disease and illness rather than simply treating them. Digital devices are already helping to track heart rate and blood sugar.

• Digital health systems call for modified roles of health-care professionals Digital health technologies can enable patients to receive care without physically going to a hospital or clinic. This means that health-care professionals will need to have the skills to use digital health tools, and to guide patients in understanding and using digital solutions to improve their health.

• Digital health systems can help reduce inequalities in health Telemedicine already offers remote medical services using information and communication technologies. It can serve people in isolated areas by providing access to medical services that may not otherwise be available or affordable.

1. Digitization of Health Records Storing, management, and transmission of data becomes easy and quick. Support for clinical decisions is made available to professionals and patients; making it possible to take better, more informed medical decisions.

• Improved Patient Care Technology has placed at the disposal of the healthcare community various potent tools to improve patient care. Since Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are easily available to physicians, they can access complete medical histories of patients and make the most well-considered medical decisions. Doctors can quickly identify possible medication errors.

create thesis statement – issue of Indigenous contributions to Canada.

Description

create thesis statement – issue of Indigenous contributions to Canada. Your general framework should be that of refuting common stereotypes of Indigenous peoples as takers instead of contributors to the country we live in. You should focus on two areas of historical contributions as well as the basis for ongoing contributions in the future. essay outline included with sources needed –

1. Introduction
2. Indigenous people have always faced discrimination and racism due to historical events. Mainstream images have impacted the way society accepts Indigenous people.
3. Indigenous people have played a historical role in the shaping of Canada. Their early contributions to aiding European settlers to adapt to Canadian’s climate, and today play an important role in the support of climate change, but there are still the underline issues of racism, and discrimination that stereotype Indigenous people as takers instead of contributors.

1. First body paragraph – Historical Contributions

1. Indigenous people provided European settlers with live skills to survive in Canada’s climate.
2. Indigenous people were able to help settlers adjust to the new land and shared their knowledge and expertise.

• Indigenous people taught settlers how to build transportation and housing. Including canoes, small boats and cedar homes.

1. They were able to provide and teach settlers to use natural medicines to help the ill.

III. Second Paragraph – Military

1. Indigenous people have a huge contribution during the first and second world wars.
2. Indigenous people enlist in the armed forces to support their country.

• Indigenous people had to overcome unique cultural challenges.

1. Women join the front lines as nurses and provide medical support during the wars.

1. Third Paragraph – Future Environment and Climate
2. Indigenous peoples’ contribution is essential in designing and implementing solutions for ecosystem.
3. Traditional knowledge and heritage can contribute to environmental assessment and sustainable ecosystem management.

1. Conclusion
2. Indigenous people have played a historical role in the shaping of Canada. Their early contributions to aiding European settlers to adapt to Canadian’s climate, and today play an important role in the support of climate change, but there are still the underline issues of racism, and discrimination that stereotype Indigenous people as takers instead of contributors.
3. As stated, Indigenous people have had immense contributions to Canada’s society and culture. We must continue to educate non-Indigenous people about the detrimental affects systemic racism and systemic barriers have on Indigenous people.

Conduct an independent investigation of a topic relevant to the content of the MSc programme under the supervision of an academic member of staff.

Module Description

The dissertation forms an important part of the MSc Aesthetic Medicine programme, carrying a weighting of 60 credits. The dissertation requires demonstration of the ability to carry out an original investigation into an area of academic interest.

The main objectives of the dissertation are to:

• Conduct an independent investigation of a topic relevant to the content of the MSc programme under the supervision of an academic member of staff.

• Formulate a research question, review pertinent literature, justify an appropriate research design and perform data analysis.

• Communicate concepts and findings in academic language. • Manage a project within deadlines. Organisation of the Module 1. Dissertation timeline 2. Dissertation subtypes Students have the option to choose a variety of different project subtypes including: • Systematic/evidence-based review. • Clinical series/prospective clinical study (inclusive of a literature review). There are certain rules to work by: 1. The Dissertation submission must be an individual piece of work in its entirety in full compliance to the letter and the spirit of academic regulations. 2. Primary data collection, data processing, interpretation and analysis must be carried out individually by each student. The supervisor should not be part of the primary project execution; nevertheless they may assist with secondary revisions after the award has been made and the student has graduated. Page 3 of 24 3. The ethics approval process Students must seek ethical approval from the University for any research, which involves human participants (for details see: http://www.jrmo.org.uk/performing-research/conducting-researchwith-human-participants-outside-the-nhs/applications-and-approval/#d.en.849154). You can also contact Dr Haidar Hassan, Lead of student experience, who is a member of the Ethical Approval committee at QMUL for any queries relating to the need for such approval. For projects needing ethics approval, please see below a step-by-step approach. 1- Start by registering your study on Medical Research Council for HRA approval: http://www.hra-decisiontools.org.uk/ethics/ 2- Follow the QMUL ethical application process by clicking on the link below: http://www.jrmo.org.uk/performing-research/conducting-research-with-human-participantsoutside-the-nhs/applications-and-approval/#d.en.849154 3- It is important to perform the statistical power analyses of the proposed study by downloading the G*Power programme (follow the link), this needs to be included in your write up: https://www.psychologie.hhu.de/arbeitsgruppen/allgemeine-psychologie-undarbeitspsychologie/gpower.html Please note that the University is not in a position to provide statistical support for individual student projects. Page 4 of 24 Dissertation Supervision 1. Start date and supervision allocation Supervision allocations will be published during the 1st week of December and students will be asked to contact their supervisor to arrange the first meeting. This should take place in advance of your ethics application submission, where required, so that there is sufficient time to decide upon research design and methodology. The allocated supervisor will ideally have background expertise in your area of study. However, this may not always be possible and regardless of the subject background of the supervisor, he/she will be in a position to support through the dissertation process. Please bear in mind that supervisors will facilitate and not lead the module hence the responsibility for the quality and content of a dissertation is entirely that of the student. 2. Role of your dissertation supervisor Students are guided through the dissertation by an academic supervisor. Supervision is an important element in the process of compiling and submitting the dissertation. The Supervisor advises on various aspects of the research project including: 1. The final title of the dissertation. 2. The feasibility of your proposed research and the possible risks that may be involved, for example problems in accessing information, potential poor response rates to surveys etc. 3. Design and adequacy of methods. 4. Structure and style of reporting. Supervisors cannot give an indication of the mark that might be expected, and are not expected to read a draft chapter, help with formatting documents or proofread. The supervisor is expected to give feedback on ideas and to make general comments on how the structure and logic of arguments can be improved. Please note that reading drafts of the work before submission and editing of content is not expected since this falls within the authorship category of duties. Page 5 of 24 3. Responsibilities of the student 1. Maintain regular contact and inform the supervisor of ongoing progress. Difficulties must be communicated at the time they are encountered. 2. Keep records of supervision meetings (see below). 3. Write the dissertation to a sufficient standard both in content and language using appropriate academic terms and citation/referencing conventions. 4. Compose the dissertation and ensure it reflects the student’s own subject understanding and research abilities. Please note that you should not expect instant responses to e-mails; supervisors are asked to aim to reply to any correspondence relating to dissertations (including email correspondence) and to return comments on submitted work within seven working days of receipt. Additionally, supervision cannot be guaranteed to be available at all times during the summer vacation and you should ensure that you make adequate arrangements with your supervisor to cover this period. The deadline for the last contact with your supervisor is 14 days prior to dissertation submission deadline. 4. Changing supervisors Once a student is allocated a supervisor, it is not normally possible to change this arrangement. On rare occasions, however, a student may find that she/he cannot work with the allocated member of staff. In the first instance, a discussion around the difficulties and an attempt to resolve these through some agreed action plan should be undertaken. If, after this, it becomes evident that the relationship is not sustainable, the student should contact directly the dissertation lead to discuss an alternative arrangement. It is important to highlight any difficulties as soon as possible. 5. Supervision meetings Supervision can take place through face-to-face/online meetings, email, telephone conversations as long as both student and supervisor agree that the modality of communication is acceptable. A supervisory meeting on at least two occasions during the period of the module is a reasonable expectation. It is the student’s responsibility to take notes at supervisory meetings and the “Record of Dissertation meeting form” needs to be used for this purpose.

Critically evaluate the aims and purposes of multicultural education. Focus on at least two key theorists in the field.

Make it clear in the Introduction who the two key authors actually are. Do a lot of good research but which are your two key authors? Make the definitions sections clear and again tell which authors (are you using just the key authors?) when you define multiculturalism and multicultural education. Don’t forget to add Bank’s dimensions of education as it looks as if you are applying the typologies of citizenship which is pleasing to see. Also include Demie and Neito in the main part of your work. Remember – evidence based conclusions at the end of the assignment. Be careful with the work and how you cite chapter materials from 2016 and 2018 edited collections
