Ethical consideration is important in nursing practice, especial.docx

Ethical consideration is important in nursing practice, especially when providing care to patients from diverse sociocultural backgrounds. The population of the United States comprises various ethnic/racial groups with different cultural and social beliefs, practice, norms, and values. There is an increasing disparities on the incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes among different communities in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Hispanics and African Americans have the highest incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the country (Concha, Mayer, Mezuk, & Avula, 2016). Caring for patients from different ethnic/racial groups require consideration of ethical principles and concepts to prevent ethical issues that may arise during nurse-patient interaction. Recently, I cared for patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus who had been hospitalized for more than two weeks due to acute hypertension, partial loss of vision. Also, the patient had a chronic diabetic foot ulcer. The analysis of his medical history revealed that the diabetic foot ulcer had developed in the last two years and had never healed. The patient was so worried about his health status and kept asking when he was going to be discharged from the hospital. The patient came from the Hispanic community, which is one of minority groups with the highest incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the country. Being a culturally competent registered nurse, I had an obligation to take into account the specific ethnic background of the patient when providing care. Considering patient’s ethnic/racial background is important in providing quality, holistic, and patient-centered care based their health concerns, preferences, and values (Concha et al., 2016). When collecting subjective data for analysis and planning for the care. I asked the patient about his perceptions about the possible causes of type 2 diabetes that he was suffering from. Hispanics have different beliefs in the causation of diabetes mellitus (Frieden, 2016). First, the patient believed that diabetes is a temporary condition that is not fatal. Second, the patient narrated a story that attempts to identify the cause of diabetes and concluded that they believe that people with “good diabetes” do not experience a lot of complications. The Hispanics use the term “good diabetes” when referring to the type of diabetes that do not require insulin for therapeutic purposes; non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (Frieden, 2016). Also, the patient had a fatalistic attitude and believed that his health condition is likely to be a punishment from God. The patient had a low health literacy level because caregivers had encouraged him to engage in some physical exercise and adopt a self-management approach as a way of controlling and preventing complications related to his condition, but he never implemented them. Also, the pat.

Ethical Competency Writing Assignment Description PHI 108 Spring 2019 Dr. David M. DiQuattro March 5, 2019 1 Basic Assignment Description For your ethical competency writing assignment, you will write analyze a disagreement between two authors/viewpoints that we discussed this semester. I am calling the assignment a critical disagreement analysis. Below I will provide a number of examples of disagreements between the authors we discuss this semester. Your paper will have the following components 1. Hone the disagreement • I want you to start by taking my general statement of disagreement and providing your own clear specifics that focus on particular claims or passages. Here you are taking my starting point, but providing your own framing of the disagreement that will provide focus for your paper. • You will hone your statement of the disagreement in a way that sets things up for the next parts of the paper. • For example: – In number 2 below, you will identify a specific critique of Rawls from either Kittay or Noddings. You need to explain where the disagreement is and set the stage for a fruitful dialogue to follow in the paper. • This part of the paper should be focused. You should discuss the two views in a way that sets the stage for your objection and response. • In the opening part of the paper you need to preview what is ahead - you may only write this part late in the writing process, but you need to provide a clear preview of where the rest of the paper goes. 2. Provide the best objection from one point of view to another • I want you to do more than just state the two sides of the issue in this paper. I want you to bring the authors into dialogue. You will do this by articulating an objection to one position from the point of view of the other, then responding to the objection. – You want your objection to be more than just restating a point where the authors diagree. Here’s what I mean by just restating, as an example: 1 Kant believes that there are absolute rules that should be followed without regard to consequences. The strongest utilitarian objection to this is that Kant disregards the importance of how an action affects overall happiness. – The above is an example of what not to do. That way of stating things won’t get you far because it is just a re-stating of a key difference between Kant and utilitarianism. • You should look for an objection that raises a new question for the other point of view, or points out an unforeseen implication of the view. In some way it should move discussion forward. I am not asking you to discover something that has never been said about these issues. I just want you to deepen your understanding of the two views by raising a serious objection to one position, then responding to it. – In some way the objection should force you to think in new ways about the position objected to. • In this section you should explain as clearly as you can how the objection presents a proble.

ETHICAL CHALLENGES JOYCAROLYNE MUIGAI NTC/302 5/26/2020 INTRODUCTION Ethics in business is mainly concerned with the good or bad actions and behaviors that often take place in the world of business Ethical challenges have often resulted from lack of a clear and distinctive description of norms that ought to be used Business ethics hence help economists to think productively along moral dimensions on matters regarding policy problems Ethics could be a complex aspect in business as it influences all aspect of business as it provides the most adequate action that ought to be taken. Ethics causes huge conflicts as morality may not be clearly definitive and situations in many cases greatly vary (Nuseir & Ghandour, 2019). 2 Ethics in intellectual property Intellectual property rights is a socio-economic tool that create some form of monopoly for firms to charge a price for their innovations For many innovative firms, it is a timely and expensive to come up with new innovations for the market yet other competitors in the market will attempt to copy new design of products launched. Firms have however, taken advantage of intellectual property rights by asking for high prices for products Intellectual property rights are a tool that protects innovators from losing their innovations to counter-feighting firms in the market. However many have leveraged this property rights to put high prices on their products to maximize their profits from their innovations (Sonderholm, 2018). 3 Policy statement on Ethics in intellectual property To ensure easy and right access of new innovated products, it is important to come up with an ethical way to reduce exploitation by firms. Firms can take up he differential pricing strategy that has in the past been articulated to be of great influence and guarantees the firm’s profitability Through differentia; pricing, the protected innovation can be offered at different prices based on the socio-economic demographics of the area. A product can be offered at a cheaper price at a low-earning area while it is offered at different price at a different location (Sonderholm, 2018). 4 Corruption index Corruption is seen as legal complication that is often manifested in the absence of controls over power Corruption in business could come in many ways but it is always some grease payment paid to expedite decision or transactions Connection are as well viewed as to have an effect on business processes as they have a negative connotation regardless of their informality. In many business ventures, corruption has been indicated to grow over time and is often seen in terms of exchange of favors for the sake of expedition of certain process to take a shorter time without necessarily having to undergo the require stipulated process (Samuel, 2019). 5 Policy statement in corruption index Transparency is key in business processes hence all actions need to be accounted for As a way to reduce the corruption index and subsequ.

Ethical Conduct of Research power point from this document, 15 slides Introduction Depending on the context of the study, researchers often encounter ethical dilemmas that are associated with respect for privacy, establishment of honest and open interactions, and avoidance of misrepresentation. From an ethical standpoint, such challenging circumstances may surface if researchers are grappling with conflicting issues and have to choose between different methodological approaches in complex circumstances. In such circumstances, disagreements among different components including participants, researchers, researchers’ disciplines, the financing organization, and the society might be inevitable. Therefore, there are numerous ethical concerns that should be taken into account when undertaking studies that deal with human subjects. Understanding ethical principles can guide researchers to conduct studies that safeguard the wellbeing of human subjects. Overview of the Research In a research work titled Resilience of People Living with HIV/AIDS in Indonesia: a Phenomenological Study , Kumboyono et al. (2018) observe that HIV/ AIDS is among the most prevalent and expanding communicable diseases on the planet. The number of individuals who are diagnosed with HIV/AIDS continues to skyrocket every year in Indonesia and other parts of the world. According to Kumboyono et al. (2018), individuals who suffer from HIV/AIDS often plunge themselves into a series of crises, which indicate the challenges of living with the chronic pathological condition. As such, resilience is one distinct phenomenon that is common among persons living with the diseases Indonesia, a pattern that indicates the results of current health management and expectations of HIV/AIDS patients for better and improved health outcomes. In light of this concern, Kumboyono et al. (2018) undertook a study that sought to examine the mechanism of resilience in Indonesian people living with HIV/AIDS and the factors that influence their specific mechanisms. Using qualitative phenomenological design, the researchers sampled a total of 27 people living with HIV/AIDS from a primary health care institution in Malang City, East Java, Indonesia. The participants were selected from different socioeconomic, gender, and sexual orientations. The researchers informed participants about the conduct and processes involved in the study, resulting in their consent to participate in the interview process. The findings of the study indicated that the diagnosis of HIV/AIDS reflects the onset of psychological and social distress. Moreover, Kumbomoyo et al. (2018) found that the spiritual response that follows diagnosis is a state that is characterized by crises. As a consequence, the coping strategies and understanding of life by HIV patients is a definite sign on resilience. Based on these findings, Kumbomoyo et al. (2018) infer that HIV/AIDS is a chronic infection that has the potential to induce the unique .

Ethical Approaches An Overview of: (1)Consequential, (2) Nonconsequential, and (3) Virtue Ethics Theories What is Ethics? Ethics is the study of those values that relate to our moral conduct, including questions of good and evil, right and wrong, and moral responsibility. Consequentialist Theoretical Approach: -Consequentialist theories claim that the morality of an action depends only on its consequences. -It only considers the result of actions and not principles or rules in determining morality. 1 Three (3) Types of Consequentialist Theories: -Ethical Egoism argues that each person should act in his/her own self-interest. -Act Utilitarianism argues that each person should act in a way that produces the greatest happiness for everyone. -Rule Utilitarianism argues that each person should follow rules that tend to produce the greatest happiness for everyone. Weaknesses of Consequentialist Theories -Requires person to predict the future and all possible outcomes. -Can easily be used to justify questionable actions (the ends justifies the means). 2 Nonconsequentialist Theoretical Approach: Nonconsequentialist theories claim that the morality of an action depends on principles or other factors that are not related to consequences. Two (2) Types of Nonconsequentialist Theories: -Divine command theory argues that we should obey the laws of God. -Kant’s Categorical Imperative states that we should always act in a way that is based on reason, duty, and would be considered ethical if everyone acted in the exact same way. Also, people should be treated as an end and not as a means. Weaknesses of Nonconsequentialist Theories: Self-Challenge Question: Question: What might prove a problem in a country so diverse as the U.S. with regards to Nonconsequentialist theories? When you are ready check the expert’s response. 3 https://kapextmediassl-a.akamaihd.net/business/CS125/1902c/ethics_challenge_expert1.pdf Virtue Ethics Theoretical Approach: -Virtue ethics seeks to identify character traits of a moral person and develop those with the idea that the virtuous person will act in a virtuous manner. It does not look to principles or consequences. -Virtue ethics was developed among the ancient Greek philosophers such as Aristotle and the Chinese teacher and philosopher Confucius. -Virtue ethics enjoys modern support as an approach that avoids many of the problems with Consequential and Nonconsequential ethical theories. Weaknesses of Virtue Theory -Difficulty in determining just which characteristics are virtues -Justification for respecting a virtue usually brings one back to either consequences or principles. -Difficulty in applying it to specific situations 4 Example of all Three Theoretical Ethical Approaches: Scenario: The air quality in a particular city Y is so polluted, people are getting physically ill and are on .

Ethical and Professional Issues in Group PracticeThose who seek .docx

Ethical and Professional Issues in Group Practice Those who seek to be professional group leaders must be willing to examine both their ethical standards and their level of competence. Among the ethical issues treated in this chapter are the rights of group members, including informed consent and confidentiality; the psychological risks of groups; personal relationships with clients; socializing among members; the impact of the group leader’s values; addressing spiritual and religious values of group members; working effectively and ethically with diverse clients; and the uses and misuses of group techniques. In my opinion, a central ethical issue in group work pertains to the group leader’s competence. Special attention is given to ways of determining competence, professional training standards, and adjuncts to academic preparation of group counselors. Also highlighted are ethical issues involved in training group workers. The final section outlines issues of legal liability and malpractice. As a responsible group practitioner, you are challenged to clarify your thinking about the ethical and professional issues discussed in this chapter. Although you are obligated to be familiar with, and bound by, the ethics codes of your professional organization, many of these codes offer only general guidelines. You will need to learn how to make ethical decisions in practical situations. The ethics codes provide a general framework from which to operate, but you must apply these principles to concrete cases. The Association for Specialists in Group Work’s (2008) “Best Practice Guidelines” is reproduced in the Student Manual that accompanies this textbook. You may want to refer to these guidelines often, especially as you study Chapters 1 through 5. The Rights of Group Participants My experience has taught me that those who enter groups are frequently unaware both of their basic rights as participants and of their responsibilities. As a group leader, you are responsible for helping prospective members understand what their rights and responsibilities are. This section offers a detailed discussion of these issues. A Basic Right: Informed Consent If basic information about the group is discussed at the initial session, the participants are likely to be far more cooperative and active. A leader who does this as a matter of policy demonstrates honesty and respect for group members and fosters the trust necessary for members to be open and active. Such a leader has obtained the informed consent of the participants. Informed consent is a process that begins with presenting basic information about group treatment to potential group members to enable them to make better decisions about whether or not to enter and how to participate in a group (Fallon, 2006). Members have a right to receive basic information before joining a group, and they have a right to expect certain other information during the course of the group. Discussing informed consent is not a one-t.

Ethical (Moral) RelativismIn America, many are comfortable describ.docx

debishakespeare

Ethical (Moral) Relativism In America, many are comfortable describing ethics as follows: “Well, what’s right for me is right for me and what’s right for you is right for you. Let’s just agree to disagree.” This is an affirmation of what philosophers call individual or subjective moral relativism . In this understanding of relativism, morality is a matter of individual feelings and personal preference. In individual moral relativism, the determination of what is right and wrong in a situation varies according to the individual. Moral relativists do not believe in natural law or universal truths. Cultural moral relativism puts culture at the forefront of relative ethical decision-making. It says the individual must include the precepts of his or her culture as a prominent part of the relativistic moral action. Lawrence Kohlberg, a prominent psychologist known for recognizing moral stages of development, takes it a step farther saying cultural relativists are persons stuck in the “ Conventional Stage” of ethical development . In your paper, please define individual moral relativism and cultural moral relativism in detail, noting how they differ from each other, their strengths and weaknesses, and give your position on Kohlberg’s stance on ethical relativism. What aspects of ethical relativism do you identify and agree with? What aspects do you disagree with? Give a personal example that illustrates your stance on ethical relativism, describing how you made a moral decision in an ethical dilemma. Include at least two references to support your thoughts. Post a 500-word paper to the M4: Assignment 2 Dropbox by due Wednesday, April 9, 2014 . All written assignments and responses should follow proper citation rules for attributing sources.

Ethical and Human Rights Concerns in Global HealthChapter Fou.docx

Ethical and Human Rights Concerns in Global Health Chapter Four Chapter four: Ethical and human rights concerns in global health. As with any area of health, global health is affected by the issues of ethics and right for sound health outcome. In this chapter we will explore ethical and human rights concerns, some of the central treaties and conversions related to human rights, some historically significant cases in human subject research and key principles for making critical decisions in health research. 1 Failure to respect human rights is often associated with harm to human health Health research with human subjects puts people at risk for the sake of other people’s health Health investments must be made in fair ways since resources are limited The Importance of Ethical and Human Rights Issues in Global Health Access to the health care is human right and failure to respect this right might causes harm for health. For example, the stigma associated with HIV, TB and leprosy makes it difficult for the patient to obtain necessary health care, it not only cause harm to individual health but as a whole community health even. For example, if a TB patient remains untreated by the health care workers, then that individual could be a source of infection for other people. Health research with human subject in particular in low income countries where study participants may not have other option to obtain the medication might become a proxy of clinical trial for other people .Lastly, fair decision in health investment is critical because in low income countries where health resources are scare difficult decisions need to be made depending on the priority and severity of disease. 2 The Foundations for Health and Human Rights Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other legally binding multilateral treaties Governments are obliged to respect, protect, and fulfill the rights they state International Bill of Human Rights is the cornerstone for human rights. This bill include couple of documents including the Universal declaration of human rights that was officially declared in 1948, that place obligation on Government to respect , protect, and fulfill the rights of the state. 3 Selected Human Rights The Rights-Based Approach Assess health policies, programs, and practices in terms of impact on human rights Analyze and address the health impacts resulting from violations of human rights when considering ways to improve population health Prioritize the fulfillment of human rights In considering human right, first we are going to examine the issue of right based approach. Some global health advocates argue that this approach, which thinks that fulfillment of people’s human right is conducive to their health, should be followed in global health. This means we need to assess health policies, programs or practices in terms of its impact on human right and analyze the health impacts from the perspective of violation of human rights .

The court finds in favor of the plaintiff and awards compensatory damages in the amount of $3,800,000 and punitive damages in the amount of $7,600,000. In this case, the plaintiff brings numerous theories of recovery against defendant Jerry Drizin arising out of the misappropriation of escrow funds that were to serve as security for financing for the construction of an ethanol plant in Manchester, Iowa. The plaintiff contends that defendant Drizin, in concert with others, knowingly converted funds from an escrow account that were not to have been spent on anything without the plaintiff's prior written permission. Defendant Drizin contends that his only client and only duty of loyalty was to a Nigerian citizen living in Munich who caused the funds to be sent to bank accounts controlled by Defendant Drizin. The court makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law. In 2000 in Manchester, Iowa, farmer and President of the local Co-op, Douglas Bishop, began meeting with representatives of the United States Department of Agriculture to explore the feasibility of building an ethanol plant in the Manchester area. The idea was to assist farmers in the area in getting more value for their crops. An ethanol plant produces ethanol and feed grain which can be sold at a profit exceeding that associated with the mere sale of grain. A series of 40 local meetings culminated in a membership drive. The Plaintiff, Northeast Iowa Ethanol, L.L.C., was later formed in order to sell 2500 shares of stock in the L.L.C. to raise funds for the financing of the plant. The construction of the plant was expected to cost $21 Million. It would have a capacity for producing 15 million gallons of ethanol per year. Through the meetings, Mr. Bishop and others raised $2,365,000. The average investor purchased two shares. The membership drive ended in September 2001. The original plan was to begin construction in the fall of 2001 and have the plant operating by the fall of 2002. However, the issue of financing for the plant was more problematic than plaintiff had anticipated. Traditional lenders (banks) demanded that the plaintiff raise forty percent of the construction costs. It was clear that the plaintiff could not raise $8 Million. Plaintiff's proposed marketing partner, Williams Ethanol Services, agreed to invest $1 Million in the project. The contractor anticipated to build the facility, North Central Construction from North Dakota,.

Estimating Network Effects in Two-Sided MarketsOliver Hinza,.docx

Estimating Network Effects in Two-Sided Markets Oliver Hinza, Thomas Ottera, and Bernd Skierab aFaculty of Business and Economics, Goethe University Frankfurt, Frankfurt am Main, Germany; bFaculty of Business and Economics, Goethe University Frankfurt (& Professorial Fellow at Deakin University, Australia), Frankfurt am Main, Germany ABSTRACT The proliferation of the Internet has enabled platform intermediaries to create two-sided markets in many industries. Time-series data on the number of customers on both sides of the markets allow platform intermediaries for estimating the direction and magnitude of network effects, which can then support growth predictions and subsequent information technology (IT) or marketing investment decisions. This article investigates the conditions under which this estimation of same- side and cross-side network effects should distinguish between its impact on the number of new customers (i.e., acquisition) and existing customers (i.e., their activity). The authors propose an influx-outflow model for doing so and conduct a simulation study to benchmark the new model against the traditional model. Further they compare the models in an illustrative empirical study in which they study the growth of an Internet auction platform. The results show that this separation of effects is beneficial because the existing customers on both sides of the market can influence the acquisition and dropout of other customers asymmetrically. The paper thus makes an important contribution that should impact the way how researchers and business practitioners measure network effects in two-sided markets. KEYWORDS Two-sided markets; electronic commerce; online intermediaries; customer churn; customer acquisition; platform economy Motivation In two-sided markets, an intermediary provides a platform for interactions between two distinct customer populations [35, 38]. For example, the intermediaries Amazon, Taobao. com, and eBay use their platforms to enable transactions between sellers and buyers; and the intermediary Monster.com brings together employers and employees. These two-sided markets are not an entirely new phenomenon: In medieval times, for example, city councils provided marketplaces as platforms for farmers to offer their products to buyers. Yet, the rise of what Shapiro and Varian [40] label the “network economy” has resulted in a plethora of two-sided markets due to the widespread use of the Internet ([3, 5, 13]; for comprehensive overviews on both online and offline two-sided markets, see Parker and Van Alstyne [32]). Such markets facilitate different kinds of network effects: Cross-side network effects describe the situation whereby the presence of many sellers attracts more buyers to the market (e.g., eBay) and vice versa [26, 42]. In contrast, same-side network effects capture the interplay within one customer population. Same-side and cross-side effects can sometimes go in different directions: For example, more.

estion 1 (25 points) Youlou Kabasella and his wife opened Kinshasa Abroad , a restaurant in downtown Columbus, Ohio. Because of the diversity of the city and the restaurant’s proximity to Ohio State University, Mr. Kabasella had expected immediate success. However, turnout and revenue have fallen well short of his projections. To help him understand why performance has been below expectations and identify some possible ways to turn performance around, he has hired a marketing research consultant, Bill Christianson. Immediately after his initial meeting with the Kabasellas, Mr. Christianson reflects on what yet must be learned in order to properly define the marketing problem and then later address it with appropriate descriptive or causal research. The key general questions that still need to be answered are listed below: 1. What market segment(s) should this unique restaurant target? a. What segments would be most inclined to frequent Kinshasa Abroad? b. What groups would be most interested in African food and beverages? c. Would these same groups be the ones most interested in African music? d. Are there groups interested in dancing in a restaurant environment? 2. What thoughts and associations have the restaurant’s general ad slogan (Kinshasa Abroad – African Cuisine and Culture) evoked in the minds of prospective customers? a. What comes to mind when they think of African food, beverages, or music? b. How consistent are these thoughts with what the food, beverages, and music are really like? c. Among consumers who have not tried Kinshasa Abroad, what would their reactions be if they sampled African food, beverages, or music? d. Are there more effective ways to communicate the nature of an African restaurant to people in Ohio? e. Are there some “hot button” advertising themes that could be employed if certain consumer groups were better understood? 3. What is the perceived quality of the menu items at Kinshasa Abroad? a. Have previous patrons been satisfied with their dining experiences? b. How satisfied have previous patrons been with the restaurant atmosphere? c. What has motivated previous patrons to try Kinshasa Abroad – cultural curiosity, a more basic search for novelty, or something else? d. Was this a one-time only experience, or do they see Kinshasa Abroad as a viable dining alternative in the future? 4. At a broader level, what are people in the area seeking when they dine out on different occasions? a. What types of food and entertainment are they seeking when they go to restaurants on these occasions? b. Does Kinshasa Abroad provide an experience that is consistent with what is being sought on any of these occasions? c. What changes might Kinshasa Abroad make in its concept to make itself more attractive to consumer groups in Columbus, Ohio? 1(a). What secondary sources are available that might provide useful information for this project? (5 points). (Note: If you simply answer internet search, no p.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf

kaushalkr1407

The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence. The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth. Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration. The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority. Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages. Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Excellence Foundation for South Sudan

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024. He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
