This document discusses smoking among pregnant women aged 18-24 years. It notes that tobacco smoking causes many deaths globally each year. For pregnant women, smoking increases risks of miscarriage, premature birth, and long-term disabilities for the baby. Several behavioral change models are examined for promoting smoking cessation during pregnancy, including the health belief model, theory of reasoned action, and self-determination theory. Interventions should involve education, counseling, community support, and policies like smoking bans and taxes. Nurse play an important role in educating and motivating pregnant smokers to quit.

National Practice Problem Exploration
According to the Global Burden of Disease Research, one of the major practice problems in the world is diabetes (Murray, Abbafati, Abbas, Abbasi, Abbasi-Kangevari,Abd-Allah, Aboyans, 2020). Diabetes is a disorder that results from the less production of insulin or no production of insulin. Insulin is very important in controlling the blood sugar level; thus, patients with diabetes have a problem with high sugar levels in their bloodstream. This paper discusses the impacts of diabetes on nurses, nursing care, healthcare organizations, and the quality of care being provided. It also identifies the national-level key stakeholders who are affected by diabetes and stakeholders involved in the resolution. Lastly, the paper provides clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) in diabetes management.
Impact
The practice problem of managing diabetes impact the nurses and their role. They are forced to educate the general population of healthy life practices and styles that are useful in preventing diabetes. It also impacts health organizations because the management of diabetes needs a lot of policies and interventions that need to be put in place by health organizations. This practice problem also affects nursing care because it requires a lot of nursing care attention, thus overburdening the few nurses we have. Lastly, due to the increasing diabetes cases and high demand for its care, the quality of care provided might be substandard due to work overload. However, the use of evidence-based practice and other policies such as the ACA provides the opportunity of improving the quality of care being provided to diabetic patients.
Stakeholders Involved
Various stakeholders are involved in the management and control of diabetes. One such stakeholder is the patients. The patients have the role of self-care and adherence to the health instructions provided by healthcare providers. Healthcare providers such as nurses and many others are also vital stakeholders in the national management of diabetes. They provide health education and care for the patients. They also advocate for policy formulations that enhance the care for diabetic patients. Family members and friends of diabetic patients are also important stakeholders because they help provide home care to patients (Bennett, Robbins, Bayliss, Wilson, Tabano, Mularski & Li, 2017). National health institutions such as CDC are also important stakeholders because they provide policies and guidelines that effectively manage diabetes. The government's political goodwill to support the healthcare organizations and the patients also makes them part of the national stakeholders in the management of diabetes.
Clinical Practice Guidelines and Diabetes Management
Some of the clinical practice guidelines provided in the management of diabetes has been based on evidence-based practice. However, a lot of interventions need to be done to promote the prevention and treatment of diabetes.

Most recently, the 9th global conference (Shanghai 2016), titled ‘Promoting health in the Sustainable Development Goals: Health for all and all for health’, highlighted the critical links between promoting health and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Whilst calling for bold political interventions to accelerate country action on the SDGs, the Shanghai Declaration provides a framework through which governments can utilize the transformational potential of health promotion.

Obesity has become a common and problematic epidemic within the United States in which communities are gathering in forces to provide prevention tactics for the individuals as well as family oriented to encourage healthier lifestyle choices. Currently today an estimate of about 39% of the population struggled with obesity and unfortunately about 18.5% of these overweight categories were centered on youth in particular (Kelly, 2019). Being obese adds to increased risk of various kinds of debilitating illnesses and the criteria for obesity has now been clearly defined by the measurement of the body mass index in which health providers can effectively begin aggressive prevention once diagnosed. Heart disease, diabetes, psychological, and lifestyle issues with supposed potential cancers have been researched in the overall illness range that obesity influences (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018). Contributing factors that increase the likelihood of overweight tendencies surface from genetic and socioeconomic influences. Those who have family that struggle with weight gain are highly likely to struggle also. Ethnic races have shown Hispanic and African American are the highest rates on obesity, 50% in both, while Caucasian and Asian are the lowest ranging scale of 37% to 12%. (Healthy People 2020, 2019).
Tactics to promote healthy lifestyles within a community are bringing awareness and prevention opportunities for families and individuals who acknowledged the risk factors of certain obesity formation. Individual or family adapted health behavior changes, prompts to encourage walking paths, trails, or public organizations that encourage healthy lifestyle such as the YMCA , enhanced school-based physical education with nutrition promotion and media campaigns that deliver the messages by television, social media, newspaper or radio are strong community strategies that can address the obesity epidemic today.
We as nurses can act as role models by educating the public on nutrition and obesity related problems. A healthy diet is a key component to reducing weight gain and overall health. As a community health nurse, the opportunity to closely work with people in providing education and healthier choices that help people feel they have options for nutrition can be seen as a personal counselor to develop goals and a plan for positive achievement. A form of exercise to complement the healthy diet can be applied by giving support to help individuals identify a safe and effective activity plan that they will stick to with encouragement to use public outlets. The community nurse can promote change by explaining the risk factors that cause obesity and provide more scientific elements of the health issue. By opening communication through means of community boards, social media, and leaflets or presentations in public areas such as YMCA or Health Department interest can be supported by.

Domestic Violence
The purpose of this analysis is to provide a wide introduction to the problem of injury in
the U.S., and help in the development of an innovative way of thinking about commencing a plan
for injury prevention. Although injuries are a major problem in the United States, they can as easily
be prevented. There are a lot of models that work in prevention of both intentional and
unintentional injuries.
Creation of a warm and welcoming environment is an effective strategy in preventing
incidences of violence at the community level. This strategy aims at addressing problems at a
community level, concentrating on the development of structured and supervised opportunities for
community members and addressing various kinds of violence through multiple types of solutions.
An entire community should be treated like a patient instead of individual-based treatment
strategies. Taking a social environment prevention strategy means that there is focus on prevention
of violence. This illustrates that apart from attaching importance in developing formal laws to
punish violence perpetrators, prevention of violence is a key element. Therefore, approaches
should be aimed at averting the incidence of both violence and injury cases in the first place.
Regulation is also an effective element in preventing unintentional injuries. This involves
passing policies related to serving alcohol, policies for legal driving age, worker safety policies
and concealed weaponry laws. These efforts result in a reduction of incidents on injuries. The
most important concept is that there are numerous ways in which a community and people, at an
individual level, can intervene to prevent injuries and violence in communities. The social
environment is very important and issues of violence should be displayed on mass media to
discourage such behaviors, while also sensitizing people on the same.
Access to Health Care
Access to health care in the United States encompasses a system of service providers that
make a complete system. In this light, the access to health care has been a subject of discussion
since the early 1870s. Importantly, the access to health care has grown over time from home health
care provision to the hospitals in large cities (Gulliford & Morgan, 2013). Notably, the history of
the health care in the United States has been motivated by the series of endless scientific
innovations over the years. In this way, the innovations have seen the system grow from the
constraints of health care access to the decline of mortality rates due to increased access to health
care. Clearly, in the early 1990s, the chronic diseases rose to be the leading causes of deaths
(Gulliford & Morgan, 2013). In this light, the developed systems that constituted of the new
procedures such as the x-rays and chemotherapy improved the health care access to the society.

Social Influence on Health
You travel to a country in Asia and find that
the culture affects most parts of life including
health. From the food they eat and their method
of cooking to their attitudes toward medical care
and their beliefs about the cause of disease and
the ability to alter it through public health and
medical interventions, this country is profoundly
different from the United States.
Social Influence on Health
You are trying to help your spouse quit smoking
cigarettes and your kids from starting. You know that
gentle encouragement and support on a one-to-one
basis are essential but are often not enough since
cigarettes cause addiction that produces withdrawal
and long term cravings. Like most addictions, quitting
requires a combination of individual motivation,
support from family and friends, and sometimes use
of medications. But you wonder: do warning labels
on cigarettes, taxes on cigarettes, and no smoking
zones in public places make any difference?
Social Influence on Health
Your efforts to convince teenagers to avoid
smoking or at least stop smoking focuses on
giving them the facts about how cigarettes cause
lung cancer, throat cancer, and serious heart
disease.
You are frustrated at how little impact you have
had and are surprised that others are more
successful by focusing on immediate impacts
such as stained teeth and bad breadth as well as
the loss of control that goes along with addiction
to nicotine.
Behavioral/Environmental Influences
on Health
Suppose that every day on your way to work,
you pass the same young homeless man on the
same corner. You notice that over the past few
weeks he has been coughing, and you figure he
must have a cold.
Today when you walk by his usual place on the
corner, he is not there, but someone has left a sign
that reads, “Rest in peace, Ramón.” You are
surprised, especially because he was so young..

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Editor's Notes
scientists have attributed over 6.4 million deaths to smoking and its related illness in 2015 (Choi, et al., 2017). According to Carroll, et al., (2016), despite tobacco control in nearly all countries, there were over a billion smokers in the world as per 2015. In the UK, according to the survey conducted by Health and Social care Information centre (HSCIC, 2016), the prevalence of smoking among women during pregnancy was found to be 11.4% in the same period. Additionally, according to Doward and Simpson (2012) five out of 10 pregnant women aged between 18 and 24 continue smoking while pregnant, even though the numbers are decreasing. Tong et al., (2014) pointed out that smoking, in addition to lungs cancer and cardiovascular diseases, it increases the risks of pregnancy related complication and illness including likelihood of miscarriage, baby being born prematurely or low body mass or long-term learning and development problems
Eldredge et al., (2016) asserted that given the complexity of the smoking habits and subsequent health concerns, a comprehensive multilevel interventions is necessary to develop an effective program encompassing the environmental, psychological, political, cultural, and policy-driven that influence tobacco smoking. The widely used models currently being used in attempt to curb smoking and promote healthy living include; Behavioural change, environmental and Beattie in
These theorems are based on self-efficacy and motivation in promotion of individual health. This encompasses such theories as health belief, theory of Reasoned action, social cognitive theory and self-determination.
Image 2: effects of smoking on a person lungs.
According to Green and Murphy (2014), Health belief model model postulates perception of the risk of smoking and seriousness of the underlying consequences such as cancer, heart disease, miscarriage, and permanent health damage to the baby. Developed by Martin Fishbein and Icek Ajzen in 1975, the theorem proposes a consideration of consequences of the outcome before engaging in health harming behaviour, in this case smoking. Montano and Kasprzyk (2015) stating that the model is based on three pillars; individual attitude, behavioural intention, and subjective norms in which a pregnant woman is expected to adhere to for both her and the child health
In social cognitive theory, smoking behaviour is obtained through observation, positive reinforcement, and peer influence. Martin et al. (2014) argued that the individuals could learn the benefits of not smoking from other people by observing the negative effects on their lives. According to this theorem, the health is determined by social, environmental, and individual elements.
According to Williams et al., (2016) and Eldredge et al., (2016) self-determination focuses on the factors that push a person into the smoking behaviour. It postulates that individuals are driven by social inclusivity and emotions especially at the tender and teenage years. Therefore, for effective mitigation of smoking, it necessitates to instil long-term life goals, development, and optimal way of obtaining them
The Tannahill intervention model: it incorporates health education on the side effects of smoking especially on young pregnant women, heath protection of both the mother and child can be achieved through legislation selling and distribution of tobacco products, and disease prevention (Raingruber, 2014).
According to Denford et al. (2016), ecological theorem and models: this promotes health as interaction between a social setting and individual. It encompasses such models as social ecological models focusing on person and environment intervention.
Legislative action: covers such actions as Increase taxes on tobacco products, minimizing the number of cigarette vending stations and limiting the number of smoking zones. The are mainly laws and regulations passed by either local or national government, but not exclusive to the socially observed rules.
Subsiding the available smoking cessation amenities and products
Health counselling: includes the advice on quitting smoking from general practitioner or a councillor and individual programmes and schedule on smoking cessation to motivate quitting
Health persuasion: this involves campaigning and adverting against smoking and encourage quitting, developing an interactive schedule and model for cessation programme such as Mobile App and increasing the number of GP and councillors both in social setting and hospitals.
Community development encompasses the development of a mentorship programme between former smokers and those working on quitting, also formulating a support groups and having designated areas for smoking and non-smoking zones in public places.
According to de Graaf et al. (2013), the public, practitioners and government needs to be inclusive and reduce judgemental perception on smoking women especially young and pregnant. Therefore, it rises the need to foster training and education on tackling smoking during pregnancy. Further, encourage referral to the specialist services in aim of curbing the effects of cessation and long-term health issues on both the baby and the mother. Lastly, offering regular carbon monoxide (CO) screening to monitor the health of the foetus.
Peadon et al. (2011) suggested that the nurses can change this trend by educating precisely and ensuring the expectant women are fully informed of the problems to not only the foetus but also her health. Most smokers revert due to lack of the motivating initiative, so nurses’ encouragements are required at this point. This is achievable by instilling the benefits of the cessation rather than the effects of withdrawal (Rice et al., 2013). Furthermore, according to Duaso and Duncan (2012), smoking cessation demands a collective initiative from the patients, social setup, and practitioners
