Most American Revolutionary War battles involved troops charging on horseback with muskets and then dismounting to fire at close range. Soldiers would also stand at a long distance and fire rifles or muskets at the enemy until one side surrendered. Troops frequently used muskets for long range shooting and bayonets for close combat, in addition to cannons at a distance and swords in hand-to-hand fighting.

Email: [email protected] Funding information University of Reading Abstract Background: Co-administration of multiple intravenous (IV) medicines down the same lumen of an IV catheter is often necessary in the intensive care unit (ICU) while ensuring medicine compatibility. Aims and objectives: This study explores ICU nurses' views on the everyday practice surrounding co-administration of multiple IV medicines down the same lumen. Design: Qualitative study using focus group interviews. Methods: Three focus groups were conducted with 20 ICU nurses across two hospitals in the Thames Valley Critical Care Network, England. Participants' experience of co-administration down the same lumen and means of assessing compatibility were explored. All focus groups were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed using thematic analysis. Functional Resonance Analysis Method was used to provide a visual representation of the co-administration process. Results: Two key themes were identified as essential during the process of co-administration, namely, venous access and resources. Most nurses described insufficient venous access and lack of compatibility data for commonly used medicines (eg, anal- gesics and antibiotics) as particular challenges. Strategies such as obtaining additional venous access, prioritizing infusions, and swapping line of infusion were used to manage IV administration pro.

SANDY HERSHCOVIS1* AND JULIAN BARLING2 1I. H. Asper School of Business, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada 2Queen’s School of Business, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada Summary Using meta-analysis, we compare three attitudinal outcomes (i.e., job satisfaction, affective commitment, and turnover intent), three behavioral outcomes (i.e., interpersonal deviance, organizational deviance, and work performance), and four health-related outcomes (i.e., general health, depression, emotional exhaustion, and physical well being) of workplace aggression from three different sources: Supervisors, co-workers, and outsiders. Results from 66 samples show that supervisor aggression has the strongest adverse effects across the attitudinal and behavioral outcomes. Co-worker aggression had stronger effects than outsider aggression on the attitudinal and behavioral outcomes, whereas there was no significant difference between supervisor, co-worker, and outsider aggression for the majority of the health-related outcomes. These results have implications for how workplace aggression is conceptualized and measured, and we propose new research questions that emphasize a multi- foci approach.

Judicial Opinions Overview: After the simulation, justices write judicial opinions in reaction to the oral argument, merits briefs, conference, and draft opinions as well as the facts of the case, Constitution, and case law. Justices circulate drafts so they know how their colleagues plan to rule and why, and so they can respond to one another in their final judicial opinion draft. Instructions: You are a Supreme Court justice preparing an opinion for announcement. Read the case materials: case hypothetical, merits briefs, and judicial opinion drafts of your colleagues, and review your notes from oral argument and conference. Write a majority opinion resolving the major legal question in light of the facts of the case, Constitution, and case law, as well as all case materials: merits briefs, oral argument, and the views of your colleagues (in conference and draft opinions). Opinions must support an argument, refute counterarguments, and respond to attorneys (oral argument and/or merits briefs), and fellow justices (conference and/or draft opinions). Opinions should contain the following five elements, in the following order: 1. an introductory statement of the nature, procedural posture, and prior result of the case; 2. a statement of the issues to be decided; 3. a statement of the material facts; 4. a discussion of the governing legal principles and resolution of the issues; and 5. the disposition and necessary instructions. Each of these is developed further below. Assessment: Complete opinions must support an argument, refute counterarguments, and respond to attorneys (oral argument and/or merits briefs), and fellow justices (conference and/or draft opinions). Strong opinions will be well organized, logically argued, and well supported through reference to and explanation of Supreme Court decisions and legal principles. Assessment rests on how well you make use of, identify, and explain relevant course material. It also rests on staying in character and not diverging from your justice’s political ideology and/or judicial philosophy. Introduction The purpose of the Introduction is to orient the reader to the case. It should state briefly what the case is about, the legal subject matter, and the result. It may also cover some or all of the following: 1. The parties: The parties should be identified, if not in the Introduction, then early in the opinion, preferably by name, and names should be used consistently throughout. (The use of legal descriptions, such as “appellant” and “appellee,” tends to be confusing, especially in multi-party cases.) 2. The procedural and jurisdictional status: relevant prior proceedings, and how the case got before the court should be outlined. Statement of issues The statement of issues is the cornerstone of the opinion; how the issues are formulated determines which facts are material and what legal principles govern. Judges should not be bound by the attorneys’.

Human Rights: Its Meaning and Practice in Social Work Field Settings Julie A. Steen, Mary Mann, Nichole Restivo, Shellene Mazany, and Reshawna Chapple The goal of the study reported in this article was to explore the conceptualizations of human rights and human rights practice among students and supervisors in social work field settings. Data were collected from 35 students and 48 supervisors through an online survey system that featured two open-ended questions regarding human rights issues in their agency and human rights practice tasks. Responses suggest that participants encountered human rights issues related to poverty, discrimination, participation/self-determination/autonomy, violence, dignity/respect, privacy, and freedom/liberty. They saw human rights practice as en- compassing advocacy, service provision, assessment, awareness of threats to clients’ rights, and the nature of the worker–client relationship. These results have implications for the social work profession, which has an opportunity to focus more intently on change efforts that support clients’ rights. The study points to the possibilities of expanding the scope of the human rights competency within social work education and addressing the key human rights issues in field education. KEYWORDS: accreditation standards; educational policy; field education; human rights; social work education In the most recent edition of Social Work Speaks, the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) (2015b) announced that “the struggle for human rights remains a vital priority for the social work profession in the 21st century” (p. 186). The International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW) (2012), which is the international umbrella organization for national social work associations, has inte- grated the concept of human rights into their Statement of Ethical Principles. Through this document, they call on social workers to “uphold and defend” (IFSW, 2012) the human rights of clients. In addition, they present international human rights conventions as key to “social work practice and action” (IFSW, 2012). Although NASW (2015a) does not explicitly use the term “human rights” in its Code of Ethics, many of the concepts within the national document are derived from the human rights philosophy. For example, the code requires social workers within the United States to respect “the dignity and worth of the person” (NASW, 2015a, p. 5), “facilitate informed participation by the public in shaping social policies and institutions” (NASW, 2015a, p. 27), and work to “ensure that all people have equal access to the resources, employment, services, and opportunities they require to meet their basic human needs” (NASW, 2015a, p. 27). These responsibilities align with the types of human rights classified as integrity of the body, political rights, and social and economic rights (Steen, 2006). Although social work professional organizations on the national and international levels e.

For years, the term diversity has been associated with specific parameters such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc. It is important that we continue to understand those dimensions of diversity to evolve our conversation to more global aspects of our cultural selves. The graphic (click link to) illustrates many dimensions of diversity that you may or may not have thought about. https://rickladd.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/dimensions-of- diversity.png 1) Think of diversity in all of its dimensions and discuss the concept of “difference.” What does it mean to be “different”? How do you determine who or what is different? Be sure to address the following: 2) In your family (extended, or otherwise), community, and workplace, what dimensions do you think of when you think someone is “different” than you? Do you focus on different dimensions depending on those three contexts? 3) Of those dimensions you think of, which can be changed and which cannot be changed? 4) Of those dimensions you think of, which are visible and which are non-visible? What are the advantages and disadvantages to having non-visible dimensions of diversity rather than visible ones? Your initial discussion post should be at least 400 words. .

Classmate #1 I have to admit that I struggle with the concept of Agape and the limits of nonviolent protest. I can’t look at what’s happening in the world, past, present, and presumably for the rest of the time mankind allows itself to exist, and believe that just anyone can be swayed with compassion. I see tyrants murdering unarmed protestors as a warning to others who might have the audacity to demand basic human rights. I see soldiers torturing, raping and pillaging out of sadism, boredom and apathy. I see the ongoing erasure of cultural and political minorities in “reeducation” camps. I see people virtually condemned to death because they can’t afford medical care by politicians more concerned with lining their pockets than protecting their own citizens. How can we expect better angels to eventually reach those responsible for all the suffering in our world? How do you touch the hearts of those that lack them? Has anyone tried handing them a Pepsi Links to an external site.? To me, it’s naive to assume that everyone will eventually default to the concepts of rationality and conscience that we take for granted in people. I’m not as strong as MLK, and find it impossible to “love” those I consider irredeemable enemies of the human race. Currently, we’re confronted with people who’d rather tear down our entire democracy than watch their team lose for a few years. When I was 9, I saw planes level buildings and kill thousands of innocent people on television. The most united I ever saw our country was in anger at those who celebrated those deaths in the streets. Now our same countrymen are at rallies cheering for the imagined executions of their fellow citizens because the one elected president 14 years ago didn’t look like them. The entire historical window of my lifetime has been an exhibit of people who cannot be reasoned with, and history tells me this is nothing new. I truly don’t believe there is a way to cure the ugliness that comes naturally to the only species with the ability to use logic and reasoning as a means of mass exploitation, and for me to write anything else would be insincere. Now that I’ve bummed you all out, I’ll get to what I think we can do not to cure, but to manage. It may seem paradoxical, but my answer to building a more caring, loving, peaceful, unified world is simply to fight for it in any way possible. If we can’t cure the hatred and anger in our world, we should harness it against those that seek to divide us. People are never more aligned than when fighting for safety and liberation. Protest, both nonviolent as is posited in our course material, and otherwise, as is the case for those forced to choose between either martyrdom or freedom earned through bloodshed, until ground is gained, and on. I cannot agree that we should submit to suffering without retaliation, or that the lessons gleaned are worth it, as Dr. King said. If violence leads to tragic bitterness, let it be.
