Running head: Healthy people 2020 Healthy people 2020 2 Healthy people 2020 Diabetes mellitus Introduction This is a disease that results from the body’s inability to produce enough insulin or inability of the body to produce an appropriate response to insulin. This is the hormone regulation the way the body absorbs glucose. The improper functioning of the insulin in the body may result in elevated levels of blood glucose resulting in various abnormal metabolic activities. This finally results in complications in the body functioning. I am interested in this illness because of its prevalence currently. Across the globe, the number of individual suffering from diabetes mellitus has increased in the past ten years and that has brought this concern. Currently, in the United States, the effect is estimated at 29.1 million. The disease has been classified by the healthy people 2020 initiative group as occupying the 7nth position among the leading causes of death currently. Morbidity and comorbidity in the United States There are various disparities in the diabetes risk. The people from the minority population are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes. The minority groups, in this case, comprises 25% of the adult patient suffering from diabetes in the United States. The majority group comprises the children and adolescent with diabetes type 2. According to the healthy people initiate 2020, the African American, American Indians, and some Asian Americans are at higher risk of suffering from type 2 diabetes. The prevalence of this illness among the American Indians is 2-5 times that of the whites. Averagely, African Americans are 1.7 times as likely compared to Mexican Americans (Healthy people 2020, 2016). There are some barriers to the progress of diabetes care. The first one being the challenges arising from the design of the healthcare system and the other one being the continuous increase of diabetes cases. This results to decrease in the attention and resources available for every patient. Apart from the two, there are other comorbidities associated with diabetes. These include fracture risks, cancer risk, and prognosis, cognitive impairment, and incontinence. Impact on health of the nation Though manageable, diabetes is still one of the diseases posing a major health threat to the United States population and its healthcare system. This illness affects approximately 26 million people in this country with approximately 18.8 million people diagnosed and about seven million not yet diagnosed. Diabetes comes with an array of health issues. Among them being lower limb amputation, it has been determined to possibly cause blindness and kidney failure. Again, it contributes a lot to cardiovascular diseases. Research has indicated that approximately 68% of people suffering from diabetes end up dying of cardiovascular diseases. Economically, research shows that in 2012, this illness caused the United States to close to ...

Change Proposal Summary Report
One of the clinical conditions affecting numerous people globally is diabetes. Around 35
million people in the United States are diagnosed with diabetes annually. Based on the world
statistics, diabetes pervasiveness has increased promptly among people of low and middle
incomes. Accordingly, people living in countries such as India and China have the highest
prevalence of diabetes. Globally, approximately 5.0 million deaths resulted from diabetes and
diabetes-related disorders. Again, the countries spend billions of dollars on health expenditures for
diabetic patients and other approaches to minimize its prevalence through education and other
evidence-based practices. Besides, more than 400 million people globally are likely to develop
type 2 diabetes mellitus. The executive summary will describe some of the challenges facing
healthcare, such as type 2 diabetes, and ideal strategies and measures to mitigate such health issues.
Executive Summary
Proposed Change
Globally, type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic health issue affecting numerous people.
From statistics, persons diagnosed with the disease have increased significantly in the past few
decades. The Center for Disease Control has pointed out a high incidence of type 2 diabetes
mellitus among children, the elderly, and teenagers (Mayer-Davis et al., 2017). Some of the risk
factors aligned with diabetes mellitus encompass behavioral practices, lifestyle, and genetics. A
proposed change to lessen the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus entails implementing
programs including the Lifestyle Change Program and Diabetes Management Education and
Support (DMES). Such a proposed change will play a central role in raising awareness and giving
people critical information regarding type 2 diabetes, its prevention, and management (Munshi et
al., 2016). From contemporary clinical studies, recognizing diabetes risk factors early is crucial in

Feedback: General comments on the quality of the work, its successes and where it could be improved
Hi Khizar - Thank you for submitting your work.
However, there are a number of things which must be strengthened to bring it up to Level 7 standard.
Right from the background, good, recent sources are often lacking, and your exploration of causes is far too brief (Indeed, you don’t even refer to a basic ‘energy in – energy out’ equation for T2D). Your selection of interventions appears arbitrary and poorly supported, with no real attempt to examine ‘Health-Evidence-People’. Crucially, for Level 7 work, some attempt at critical analysis is needed.
You could use your Beattie model to analyse the interventions, and your ethics discussion should apply a framework to those interventions. The policy discussion should examine a current government example.
A number of whole paragraphs are without a source, so you referencing needs serious attention.
Provisional Uncapped Mark Marks will be capped if this was a late submission or resit assessment and may be moderated up or down by the examination board.

Type two Diabetes and Public HealthINTRODUCTION
Type 2 Diabetes was chosen to be the topic of discussion in this assignment as it is a common type of diabetes, making it a public health issue. This occurs when the blood sugar level has surpassed the normal level, basically the blood sugar, comes from the food eaten and I is the main source of energy needed to run our bodies. Whereby hormones made by the pancreas and insulin aids the glucose to get into our body cells to provide the energy needed. The connection comes in whereby the glucose or blood sugar level is much more than needed which makes the insulin not to be enough or the insulin that is present is not used well. Basically, that is the general description of type two diabetes. Therefore, the result is that too much sugar remains in the blood and the cells lack enough to run the body on a daily basis. This type of diabetes mainly affects people of every age, it cannot be considered as a condition for only people. This type of diabetes affects at every age even age childhood. Comment by Aldo Mussi: Rethink this (with Refs).
But generally, it affects most people who are middle aged and older people, especially under predisposing aspects such as family history of diabetes and obesity. Based on demo ...

Abstract
Having a good nutrition habit, healthy body weight, and physical activities are essential aspects of good health and wellness. The combination of all three factors is critical in reducing the chances of getting severe health complications such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, cancer, stroke, and heart complications. Managing a good health condition also relies on how one adhere to regular physical exercises, a well-maintained body weight, and a healthy diet. However, according to (Healthy People 2020), most Americans don't check their menu and are lazy in taking apart in physical activities to the required levels as a way of maintaining proper health.
According to CDCP (2013), fruit consumption among adults is 1.1 times in a day, and the use of vegetables on a daily scale is 1.6, with adolescents recording the lowest use of both fruits and vegetables. The statistic shows that the average daily consumption of both fruits and vegetables among Americans doesn't meet the recommended intake of fruits and vegetables. About 81.6% and 81.8% of American adults and adolescents respectively don't take part in physical activities on a recommended daily scale. These behaviors are among the leading factors that contribute to the rising cases of Obesity. Approximately 1 out of 3 US adults, which represents 34 % and 1 out of 6 adolescents and children, which is 16.2 %, are obese.
Obesity-related complications include stroke, heart disease, and type two diabetes. The current in death cases is as a result of the obesity-related complications. Besides the death cases, obesity-related diseases cots this country millions of money annually, making it one of the most significant burdens that this country is struggling with regards to the health care system.
Introduction
Maintaining a healthy diet is an essential factor that determines how healthy our bodies become. We must retain less sugar, salt, and fats diet daily. Cases associated with obesity are not causing deaths but also taking so much of this country's financial resources. Every year both the federal, state, and county governments invest million into the health sector as a way of improving the infrastructures required to deal with obesity-related complications. Any healthy combines a variety of foods such as cereals, legumes, proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Research shows that obesity is gradually grown into a global crisis with WHO initiating campaigns aimed at establishing the importance of maintaining a healthy diet (Abidin, 2014).

Causes of obesity
Statistics of Obesity in America.
Obesity is a condition where an individual have excess body fats leading to health problems. Obesity is an increasing problem in America with the rise in cases causing an alarm for the need to reduce the problem and promote healthy living. Statistics data released by health facilities and health institutions show an increasing trend of obesity in America. Obesity is caused by the uptake of high calorie food, genetic factors, lack of exercise and presence of underlying medical conditions.

Obesity has is associated with increased medical costs due to the health problems posed by the condition. Health problems associated with obesity are high blood pressure due to the high fat content deposited in the blood vessel lining. It also causes coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke among many others. The condition also contributes to low quality life with high chances of causing death.

Results from body storing excess energy in form of stored fats, thus by reducing intake can be a control measure.
Regulation of food intake as researched by professional cannot sustain control of increases in cases of obesity in society today. several factors interactions contribute to the situation. the causes have to first be understood. While most of the obesity cases are caused by excess consumption of food by an individual, it is also clear that some conditions are caused by more than excess consumption. This may include genetic, or other body disorders. The prevalence of the problem is increasing instead of reducing. Obesity rates have increased across all the population groups in the United States. It is therefore important to approach the problem from a different perspective.
Challenges being experienced can be grouped into the following major levels.
Intrapersonal Level
Interpersonal Level
Community/Institution Level
Macro/Public Policy Level
Medics and nutritionists have viewed the problem continuously as it could be solved through reducing the amount of food intake. However, body’s regulation of food consumption is not enough to deal with the epidemic. It is not a matter of the obese people decision to eat less food than they have been doing. It has been seen that obesity can be reduced through a different treatment of the problem. This may involve first deciding the root cause that triggers a person to eat so much food.

Diabetes is a complex metabolic issue that is progressively influencing the world\'s
populace. Its wellbeing and monetary outcomes are significant. The WHO Global
Procedure for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases perceives diabetes
as one of its need conditions (1). The larger part of individuals with diabetes live in low-and
center salary nations, where the commonness is expanding significantly. A few thorough
trials in chose populaces have demonstrated that diabetes and its confusions can be counteracted
then again postponed. This paper diagrams the populace and clinical research that can be
directed in
low-asset settings and that can possibly diminish the weight of diabetes in low-and

significant sorts of
diabetes are sort 1, sort 2 and gestational diabetes, however a few different types of diabetes exist
and there seems, by all accounts, to be an expanding extent of atypical presentations of diabetes
in some low-and center pay nations (3). The analysis of diabetes is affirmed by exhibiting raised
blood/plasma glucose levels either in fasting or post-challenge states. A wide range of diabetes
include both hereditary vulnerability (albeit quite a bit of this still remains obscure) and
presentation to undesirable situations or ways of life. The recurrence of right now known
qualities connected with vulnerability to diabetes is high, however their esteem in foreseeing
future diabetes stays low (4). It is assessed that 285 million individuals have diabetes in 2010,
and around 70% of them live in

Case Study - Option 3: Barbara
Barbara is a 22 year old woman who has recently graduated from college with a psychology degree. She is currently working as a waitress at a popular restaurant near campus, and says she has always planned to attend law school. Barbara was born in a New Orleans, Louisiana. Her mother is an African American who is an assistant manager at a grocery store. Her father is Caucasian and works at a department store. Barbara reports that she was a shy, unattractive child, but that in general her early childhood was "pretty happy." Barbara says that during elementary school, she was constantly harassed by classmates about being of mixed race. Still, she says that she felt very close to her family during this period. She now insists that "I am not black or white, I am me."
Barbara is sexually active and engages in sexual activity with different men at least 1 time a week. Barbara indicates that she does not need protection because she is on the pill. She says she is simply too young to settle down. During her junior year of high school, Barbara had her first serious boyfriend, Morris, who was a high school classmate. She describes the relationship as warm and supportive and they became sexually active during her senior year of high school. They broke up soon after the first sexual interaction. In college, Barbara has dated and she acknowledges some bisexual experimentation. Barbara says that she prefers heterosexual relationships, however.
Although Barbara appears to be a natural athlete, she leads a relatively sedentary lifestyle. She does not exercise regularly and indicates that it is just not enjoyable.
Barbara does not like her job at the restaurant, but seems unwilling to look for other employment. She says that she feels "very jittery" whenever she gets ready for work, and she uses any excuse to take days off. She also refuses to associate with fellow employees, and reports getting very anxious when she was given a surprise birthday party. Recently, she has lost interest in cleaning her house and seldom cooks for herself. She also attends less to her personal grooming.

Case Study - Cyberterrorism—A New RealityWhen hackers claiming .docx
Case Study - Cyberterrorism—A New Reality:
When hackers claiming to support the Syrian regime of Bashar Al-Assad attacked and disabled the website of Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based satellite news channel, in September 2012, the act was another act of hacktivism, purporting to promote a specific political agenda over another. Hacktivism has become a very visible form of expressing dissent. Even though there have been numerous incidents reported by the media, the first case of hacktivism was documented in 1989 when a member of the Cult of the Dead Cow hacker collective named Omega coined the term in 1996. However, hacktivism is not the only form of cyber protest and conflict that has everyone from ICT professionals to governments scrambling for solutions. Individuals, enterprises, and governments alike rely in many instances almost completely on network computing technologies, including cloud computing. The international and ever-evolving nature of the Internet along with inadequate law enforcement and the anonymity the global architecture offers creates opportunities for hackers to attack vulnerable nodes for personal, financial, or political gain.
The Internet is also rapidly becoming the political and advocacy platform of choice, bringing with it both positive and negative consequences. Increasingly sophisticated off-the-shelf technologies and easy access to the Internet are significantly increasing incidents of cyberterrorism, netwars, and cyberwarfare. The following are a few examples.

Case Study - Global Mobile Corporation Damn it, .docx
Case Study - Global Mobile Corporation
“Damn it, he's done it again!”
Charlie Newburg had to get up and walk around his office, he was so frustrated. He had been
reviewing the most recent design, parts, and assembly specifications for Global Mobile's latest
smart phone (code named: Nonphixhun) that had been released for production the previous
Thursday. The files had just come back to Charlie's engineering services department with a
caustic note that began, “This one can't be produced, either…” It was the fourth time production
had returned the design.
Newburg, director of engineering for the Global Mobile Corporation, was normally a quiet
person. But the Nonphixhun project was stretching his patience; it was beginning to appear like
several other new products that had hit delays and problems in the transition from design to
production during the eight months Charlie had worked for Global Mobile. These problems were
nothing new at Global Mobile's Asian factory; Charlie's predecessor in the engineering job had
run afoul of them, too, and had finally been fired for protesting too vehemently about the other
departments. But the Nonphixhun phone should have been different. Charlie and the firm's
president, Hannah Hoover, had video-conferenced two months earlier (on July 3, 2006) with the
factory superintendent, Tyson Wang, to smooth the way for the new phone's design. He thought
back to the meeting …
• “Now, we all know there's a tight deadline on the Nonphixhun,” Hannah Hoover said, “and
Charlie's done well to ask us to talk about its introduction. I'm counting on both of you to find
any snags in the system, and to work together to get that first production run out by October
2. Can you do it?” “We can do it in production if we get a clean design two weeks from
now, as scheduled,” answered Tyson Wang, the factory manager. “Charlie and I have already
talked about that, of course. I've spoken with our circuit board and other parts suppliers and
scheduled assembly capacity, and we'll be ready. If the design goes over schedule, though, I'll
have to fill in with other runs, and it will cost us a bundle to break in for the Nonphixhun.
How does it look in engineering, Charlie?” “I've just reviewed the design for the second
time,” Charlie replied. “If Marianne Price can keep the salespeople out of our hair, and avoid
any more last minute changes, we've got a shot. I've pulled my technical support people off of
three other overdue jobs to get this one out. But, Tyson, that means we can't spring engineers
loose to confer with your production people on other manufacturing problems.” “Well
Charlie, most of those problems are caused by the engineers, and we need them to resolve the
difficulties. We've all agreed that production problems come from both of us bowing to sales
pressure, and putting equipment into production before the designs are really ready. That's
just wh.

Case Study #3
Apple Suppliers & Labor Practices
With its highly coveted line of consumer electronics, Apple has a cult following among loyal consumers. During the 2014 holiday season, 74.5 million iPhones were sold. Demand like this meant that Apple was in line to make over $52 billion in profits in 2015, the largest annual profit ever generated from a company’s operations. Despite its consistent financial performance year over year, Apple’s robust profit margin hides a more complicated set of business ethics. Similar to many products sold in the U.S., Apple does not manufacture most its goods domestically. Most of the component sourcing and factory production is done overseas in conditions that critics have argued are dangerous to workers and harmful to the environment.
For example, tin is a major component in Apple’s products and much of it is sourced in Indonesia. Although there are mines that source tin ethically, there are also many that do not. One study found workers—many of them children—working in unsafe conditions, digging tin out by hand in mines prone to landslides that could bury workers alive. About 70% of the tin used in electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets comes from these more dangerous, small-scale mines. An investigation by the BBC revealed how perilous these working conditions can be. In interviews with miners, a 12-yearold working at the bottom of a 70-foot cliff of sand said: “I worry about landslides. The earth slipping from up there to the bottom. It could happen.”
Apple defends its practices by saying it only has so much control over monitoring and regulating its component sources. The company justifies its sourcing practices by saying that it is a complex process, with tens of thousands of miners selling tin, many of them through middle-men. In a statement to the BBC, Apple said “the simplest course of action would be for Apple to unilaterally refuse any tin from Indonesian mines. That would be easy for us to do and would certainly shield us from criticism. But that would also be the lazy and cowardly path, since it would do nothing to improve the situation. We have chosen to stay engaged and attempt to drive changes on the ground.”
In an effort for greater transparency, Apple has released annual reports detailing their work with suppliers and labor practices. While more recent investigations have shown some improvements to suppliers’ working conditions, Apple continues to face criticism as consumer demand for iPhones and other products continues to grow.

Feedback: General comments on the quality of the work, its successes and where it could be improved
Hi Khizar - Thank you for submitting your work.
However, there are a number of things which must be strengthened to bring it up to Level 7 standard.
Right from the background, good, recent sources are often lacking, and your exploration of causes is far too brief (Indeed, you don’t even refer to a basic ‘energy in – energy out’ equation for T2D). Your selection of interventions appears arbitrary and poorly supported, with no real attempt to examine ‘Health-Evidence-People’. Crucially, for Level 7 work, some attempt at critical analysis is needed.
You could use your Beattie model to analyse the interventions, and your ethics discussion should apply a framework to those interventions. The policy discussion should examine a current government example.
A number of whole paragraphs are without a source, so you referencing needs serious attention.
Provisional Uncapped Mark Marks will be capped if this was a late submission or resit assessment and may be moderated up or down by the examination board.

Type two Diabetes and Public HealthINTRODUCTION
Type 2 Diabetes was chosen to be the topic of discussion in this assignment as it is a common type of diabetes, making it a public health issue. This occurs when the blood sugar level has surpassed the normal level, basically the blood sugar, comes from the food eaten and I is the main source of energy needed to run our bodies. Whereby hormones made by the pancreas and insulin aids the glucose to get into our body cells to provide the energy needed. The connection comes in whereby the glucose or blood sugar level is much more than needed which makes the insulin not to be enough or the insulin that is present is not used well. Basically, that is the general description of type two diabetes. Therefore, the result is that too much sugar remains in the blood and the cells lack enough to run the body on a daily basis. This type of diabetes mainly affects people of every age, it cannot be considered as a condition for only people. This type of diabetes affects at every age even age childhood. Comment by Aldo Mussi: Rethink this (with Refs).
But generally, it affects most people who are middle aged and older people, especially under predisposing aspects such as family history of diabetes and obesity. Based on demo ...

Abstract
Having a good nutrition habit, healthy body weight, and physical activities are essential aspects of good health and wellness. The combination of all three factors is critical in reducing the chances of getting severe health complications such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, cancer, stroke, and heart complications. Managing a good health condition also relies on how one adhere to regular physical exercises, a well-maintained body weight, and a healthy diet. However, according to (Healthy People 2020), most Americans don't check their menu and are lazy in taking apart in physical activities to the required levels as a way of maintaining proper health.
According to CDCP (2013), fruit consumption among adults is 1.1 times in a day, and the use of vegetables on a daily scale is 1.6, with adolescents recording the lowest use of both fruits and vegetables. The statistic shows that the average daily consumption of both fruits and vegetables among Americans doesn't meet the recommended intake of fruits and vegetables. About 81.6% and 81.8% of American adults and adolescents respectively don't take part in physical activities on a recommended daily scale. These behaviors are among the leading factors that contribute to the rising cases of Obesity. Approximately 1 out of 3 US adults, which represents 34 % and 1 out of 6 adolescents and children, which is 16.2 %, are obese.
Obesity-related complications include stroke, heart disease, and type two diabetes. The current in death cases is as a result of the obesity-related complications. Besides the death cases, obesity-related diseases cots this country millions of money annually, making it one of the most significant burdens that this country is struggling with regards to the health care system.

Maintaining a healthy diet is an essential factor that determines how healthy our bodies become. We must retain less sugar, salt, and fats diet daily. Cases associated with obesity are not causing deaths but also taking so much of this country's financial resources. Every year both the federal, state, and county governments invest million into the health sector as a way of improving the infrastructures required to deal with obesity-related complications.

Statistics of Obesity in America.
Obesity is a condition where an individual have excess body fats leading to health problems. Obesity is an increasing problem in America with the rise in cases causing an alarm for the need to reduce the problem and promote healthy living. Statistics data released by health facilities and health institutions show an increasing trend of obesity in America. Obesity is caused by the uptake of high calorie food, genetic factors, lack of exercise and presence of underlying medical conditions.

Obesity has is associated with increased medical costs due to the health problems posed by the condition. Health problems associated with obesity are high blood pressure due to the high fat content deposited in the blood vessel lining. It also causes coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke among many others. The condition also contributes to low quality life with high chances of causing death.

Results from body storing excess energy in form of stored fats, thus by reducing intake can be a control measure.
Regulation of food intake as researched by professional cannot sustain control of increases in cases of obesity in society today. several factors interactions contribute to the situation. the causes have to first be understood. While most of the obesity cases are caused by excess consumption of food by an individual, it is also clear that some conditions are caused by more than excess consumption. This may include genetic, or other body disorders. The prevalence of the problem is increasing instead of reducing. Obesity rates have increased across all the population groups in the United States. It is therefore important to approach the problem from a different perspective.
Challenges being experienced can be grouped into the following major levels.
Intrapersonal Level
Interpersonal Level
Community/Institution Level
Macro/Public Policy Level
Medics and nutritionists have viewed the problem continuously as it could be solved through reducing the amount of food intake. However, body’s regulation of food consumption is not enough to deal with the epidemic. It is not a matter of the obese people decision to eat less food than they have been doing. It has been seen that obesity can be reduced through a different treatment of the problem. This may involve first deciding the root cause that triggers a person to eat so much food.

Diabetes is a complex metabolic issue that is progressively influencing the world\'s

Procedure for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases perceives diabetes
as one of its need conditions (1). The larger part of individuals with diabetes live in low-and

trials in chose populaces have demonstrated that diabetes and its confusions can be counteracted
then again postponed. This paper diagrams the populace and clinical research that can be

low-asset settings and that can possibly diminish the weight of diabetes in low-and

expanded danger of cardiovascular, fringe blood vessel and cerebrovascular malady. The
significant sorts of
diabetes are sort 1, sort 2 and gestational diabetes, however a few different types of diabetes exist
and there seems, by all accounts, to be an expanding extent of atypical presentations of diabetes
in some low-and center pay nations (3). The analysis of diabetes is affirmed by exhibiting raised
blood/plasma glucose levels either in fasting or post-challenge states. A wide range of diabetes
include both hereditary vulnerability (albeit quite a bit of this still remains obscure) and
presentation to undesirable situations or ways of life. The recurrence of right now known
qualities connected with vulnerability to diabetes is high, however their esteem in foreseeing
future diabetes stays low (4). It is assessed that 285 million individuals have diabetes in 2010,
and around 70% of them live in

Case Study - Option 3: Barbara
Barbara is a 22 year old woman who has recently graduated from college with a psychology degree. She is currently working as a waitress at a popular restaurant near campus, and says she has always planned to attend law school. Barbara was born in a New Orleans, Louisiana. Her mother is an African American who is an assistant manager at a grocery store. Her father is Caucasian and works at a department store. Barbara reports that she was a shy, unattractive child, but that in general her early childhood was "pretty happy." Barbara says that during elementary school, she was constantly harassed by classmates about being of mixed race. Still, she says that she felt very close to her family during this period. She now insists that "I am not black or white, I am me."
Barbara is sexually active and engages in sexual activity with different men at least 1 time a week. Barbara indicates that she does not need protection because she is on the pill. She says she is simply too young to settle down. During her junior year of high school, Barbara had her first serious boyfriend, Morris, who was a high school classmate. She describes the relationship as warm and supportive and they became sexually active during her senior year of high school. They broke up soon after the first sexual interaction. In college, Barbara has dated and she acknowledges some bisexual experimentation. Barbara says that she prefers heterosexual relationships, however.
Although Barbara appears to be a natural athlete, she leads a relatively sedentary lifestyle. She does not exercise regularly and indicates that it is just not enjoyable.
Barbara does not like her job at the restaurant, but seems unwilling to look for other employment. She says that she feels "very jittery" whenever she gets ready for work, and she uses any excuse to take days off. She also refuses to associate with fellow employees, and reports getting very anxious when she was given a surprise birthday party. Recently, she has lost interest in cleaning her house and seldom cooks for herself. She also attends less to her personal grooming.

Case Study - Cyberterrorism—A New RealityWhen hackers claiming .docx
Case Study - Cyberterrorism—A New Reality:
When hackers claiming to support the Syrian regime of Bashar Al-Assad attacked and disabled the website of Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based satellite news channel, in September 2012, the act was another act of hacktivism, purporting to promote a specific political agenda over another. Hacktivism has become a very visible form of expressing dissent. Even though there have been numerous incidents reported by the media, the first case of hacktivism was documented in 1989 when a member of the Cult of the Dead Cow hacker collective named Omega coined the term in 1996. However, hacktivism is not the only form of cyber protest and conflict that has everyone from ICT professionals to governments scrambling for solutions. Individuals, enterprises, and governments alike rely in many instances almost completely on network computing technologies, including cloud computing. The international and ever-evolving nature of the Internet along with inadequate law enforcement and the anonymity the global architecture offers creates opportunities for hackers to attack vulnerable nodes for personal, financial, or political gain.
The Internet is also rapidly becoming the political and advocacy platform of choice, bringing with it both positive and negative consequences. Increasingly sophisticated off-the-shelf technologies and easy access to the Internet are significantly increasing incidents of cyberterrorism, netwars, and cyberwarfare. The following are a few examples.
• According to The Israel Electric Company, Israel is attacked 1,000 times a minute by cyberterrorists targeting the country’s infrastructure—water, electricity, communications, and other services.• The New York Times, quoting military officials, said there was a seventeen-fold increase in cyberattacks targeting the US critical infrastructure between 2009 and 2011.• The 2010 Data Breach Investigations Report has data recording more than 900 instances of computer hacking and other data breaches in the past seven years, resulting in some 900 million compromised records. In 2012, the same study listed 855 breaches, resulting in 174 million compromised records in 2011 alone, up from 4 million in 2010.• Another study of 49 breaches in 2011 reported that the average organizational cost of a data breach (including detection, internal response, notification, post notification cost) was $5.5 million. This number was down from $7.2 million in 2010.14 The Telegraph (London) reported that “India blamed a new ‘cyber-jihad’ by Pakistani militant groups for the exodus of thousands of people from India’s north-eastern minorities from its main southern cities in August after text messages warning them to flee went viral.”
There have been recorded instances of nations allegedly engaging in cyberwarfare. The Center for the Study of Technology and Society has identified five methods by which cyberwarfare can be used as a means of military action. These include defacing or di.

Case Study - Global Mobile Corporation Damn it, .docx
Case Study - Global Mobile Corporation
“Damn it, he's done it again!”
Charlie Newburg had to get up and walk around his office, he was so frustrated. He had been
reviewing the most recent design, parts, and assembly specifications for Global Mobile's latest
smart phone (code named: Nonphixhun) that had been released for production the previous
Thursday. The files had just come back to Charlie's engineering services department with a
caustic note that began, “This one can't be produced, either…” It was the fourth time production
had returned the design.
Newburg, director of engineering for the Global Mobile Corporation, was normally a quiet
person. But the Nonphixhun project was stretching his patience; it was beginning to appear like
several other new products that had hit delays and problems in the transition from design to
production during the eight months Charlie had worked for Global Mobile. These problems were
nothing new at Global Mobile's Asian factory; Charlie's predecessor in the engineering job had
run afoul of them, too, and had finally been fired for protesting too vehemently about the other
departments. But the Nonphixhun phone should have been different. Charlie and the firm's
president, Hannah Hoover, had video-conferenced two months earlier (on July 3, 2006) with the
factory superintendent, Tyson Wang, to smooth the way for the new phone's design. He thought
back to the meeting …
• “Now, we all know there's a tight deadline on the Nonphixhun,” Hannah Hoover said, “and
Charlie's done well to ask us to talk about its introduction. I'm counting on both of you to find
any snags in the system, and to work together to get that first production run out by October
2. Can you do it?” “We can do it in production if we get a clean design two weeks from
now, as scheduled,” answered Tyson Wang, the factory manager. “Charlie and I have already
talked about that, of course. I've spoken with our circuit board and other parts suppliers and
scheduled assembly capacity, and we'll be ready. If the design goes over schedule, though, I'll
have to fill in with other runs, and it will cost us a bundle to break in for the Nonphixhun.
How does it look in engineering, Charlie?” “I've just reviewed the design for the second
time,” Charlie replied. “If Marianne Price can keep the salespeople out of our hair, and avoid
any more last minute changes, we've got a shot. I've pulled my technical support people off of
three other overdue jobs to get this one out. But, Tyson, that means we can't spring engineers
loose to confer with your production people on other manufacturing problems.” “Well
Charlie, most of those problems are caused by the engineers, and we need them to resolve the
difficulties. We've all agreed that production problems come from both of us bowing to sales
pressure, and putting equipment into production before the designs are really ready. That's
just wh.
Case Study #3Apple Suppliers & Labor PracticesWith its h.docx
Case Study #3
Apple Suppliers & Labor Practices
With its highly coveted line of consumer electronics, Apple has a cult following among loyal consumers. During the 2014 holiday season, 74.5 million iPhones were sold. Demand like this meant that Apple was in line to make over $52 billion in profits in 2015, the largest annual profit ever generated from a company’s operations. Despite its consistent financial performance year over year, Apple’s robust profit margin hides a more complicated set of business ethics. Similar to many products sold in the U.S., Apple does not manufacture most its goods domestically. Most of the component sourcing and factory production is done overseas in conditions that critics have argued are dangerous to workers and harmful to the environment.
For example, tin is a major component in Apple’s products and much of it is sourced in Indonesia. Although there are mines that source tin ethically, there are also many that do not. One study found workers—many of them children—working in unsafe conditions, digging tin out by hand in mines prone to landslides that could bury workers alive. About 70% of the tin used in electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets comes from these more dangerous, small-scale mines. An investigation by the BBC revealed how perilous these working conditions can be. In interviews with miners, a 12-yearold working at the bottom of a 70-foot cliff of sand said: “I worry about landslides. The earth slipping from up there to the bottom. It could happen.”
Apple defends its practices by saying it only has so much control over monitoring and regulating its component sources. The company justifies its sourcing practices by saying that it is a complex process, with tens of thousands of miners selling tin, many of them through middle-men. In a statement to the BBC, Apple said “the simplest course of action would be for Apple to unilaterally refuse any tin from Indonesian mines. That would be easy for us to do and would certainly shield us from criticism. But that would also be the lazy and cowardly path, since it would do nothing to improve the situation. We have chosen to stay engaged and attempt to drive changes on the ground.”
In an effort for greater transparency, Apple has released annual reports detailing their work with suppliers and labor practices. While more recent investigations have shown some improvements to suppliers’ working conditions, Apple continues to face criticism as consumer demand for iPhones and other products continues to grow.

Case Study #1Jennifer is a 29-year-old administrative assistan.docx
Case Study #1
Jennifer is a 29-year-old administrative assistant married to Antonio, an Italian engineer, whom Jennifer met four years earlier while on a business trip for her marketing company. The couple now lives in Nebraska, where Antonio works for the county's transportation department and Jennifer commutes an hour each way to her marketing office. They have been trying to start a family for over a year. Eight months ago, Jennifer miscarried in her second month of pregnancy. Antonio's parents love Jennifer and often ask her if she is expecting again, hoping to encourage her to focus on her next baby. Jennifer's mother passed away two years ago and her father's health is rapidly deteriorating. Jennifer faces the probability of placing her father in a skilled nursing care facility within the next few months, against his wishes.
At work, Jennifer runs a tight ship. She is organized and prepares lists to assure that everything is done according to schedule. Everyone counts on Jennifer and she takes pride in never letting people down.
Jennifer has visited her physician numerous times in the last six months, complaining of headaches, backaches, and indigestion. Jennifer insists that she is happy and is not feeling stressed, yet she finds herself making more mistakes at work, unable to keep up with housework, and feeling tired and overwhelmed; she has begun to question her effectiveness as an employee, wife, daughter, and potential mother. Her pains seem to be increasing, but her doctor cannot find a physical cause for her discomfort.

Case Study # 2 –Danny’s Unhappy DutyEmployee ProfilesCaro.docx
Case Study # 2 –Danny’s Unhappy Duty
Employee Profiles
:
Carol Brown, Danny Winthrop, Thomas Fletcher
Carol, the Department Secretary for Purchasing and General Stores, has been
working at St. Louis Memorial Hospital for sixteen years, four of which have
been for the present Manager, Dan Winthrop. Carol likes her Boss, who gives
his employees more leeway than most. Carol’s main interests are her work and
her home—traits also typical of the other people who work in the Department.
Carol feels she is part of a close, cooperative group of employees.
Dan, or Danny, as he likes to be called, arrived at St. Louis Memorial four years
ago as a replacement for a Department manager who had been at the Hospital
for a number of years. Danny’s predecessor, Bill Taylor, was very strict in
everything from insisting that employees take exactly one-half hour for lunch
breaks to not having a coffee pot in the Department. When Danny came on
board as a Department Manager, his management style was much less strict.
The result was that Danny’s employees were much happier, and began to meet
and exceed expectations in getting their work done. St. Louis Memorial’s
previous CEO was a good friend and frequently complimented Danny on his
efficient and effective staff. Now a new CEO, Thomas Fletcher, has been hired
by the Hospital’s Board of Directors. Things are about to change.
Thomas Fletcher, new CEO and a recent graduate from a superior school of
hospital management, has always believed in “doing things by the book”.
Thomas originally had wanted to become a doctor, but decided two years into
the process that it was going to take him too long, and that he would be better
off becoming an administrator. He likes the idea of being an administrator,
and wants to be a good one. He has decided to start out his career at St. Louis
Memorial, of the smaller hospitals in the St. Louis area, but hopes to progress to a
a much larger facility in about four years, once he develops a track record at
St. Louis Memorial.
The Challenge: Communication, Criticism and Discipline, Leadership, Motivation,
Rules and Policies
Danny knows his employees quite well. They are generally a happy, cohesive, and cooperative group. They joke around a lot among themselves, but get the work done more than satisfactorily. All of them seem to give a

Case Study – Multicultural Parade
Read the Case below, and answer the following questions:
(No references needed, 2 pages double space, label the answer without copying the question in the paper)
1. What images come to mind when you hear the term “costume”? In what ways might it be considered demeaning?
2. Often people conflate “culture,” “ethnicity,” “heritage,” “race,” and “nationality,” or use them interchangeably. How are these concepts different from one another? Is a “Multicultural Day” different than an “International Day”?
3. How is Ms. Morrison’s definition of “cultural clothing” different from her definition of “ethnic heritage”? Did her explanation clarify things for Keisha and Emily?
4. How might activities that require students to share part of their ethnic heritage alienate students or contribute to students’ and teachers’ existing stereotypes and biases?
5. Connect to 3 of the core themes:
(Equity in Education/ Theories of Learning, Culture, and Identity/ Teaching and Learning in a Multicultural Society/ Research and Educational Knowledge )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Case Study:
In an effort to celebrate the growing racial and ethnic diversity at Eastern School, the school’s Diversity Committee decided to sponsor Multicultural Day. Numerous performers were hired for assemblies and presentations. During the day’s feature event, the “Culture Parade,” students were asked to showcase cultural clothing as they walked through the hallways. Teachers were encouraged by the committee to discuss clothing from countries outside the United States and to invite students who had such clothing to bring it to school for the parade.
Ms. Morrison was excited about Multicultural Day because many of her students had parents who were immigrants. She imagined the day as an opportunity for those students to teach others about their cultures.
A week before the event, Ms. Morrison brought a kilt to class and explained its significance to the students. “This represents my Scottish heritage,” she said, “and I am proud to show it to you today.” She then asked whether students had “special costumes” at home that represented their cultures. Several students raised their hands, which prompted Ms. Morrison to discuss the events planned for Multicultural Day, including the parade.
During dismissal the day before the parade Ms. Morrison announced, “Don’t forget to bring your costumes to class tomorrow!”
The next day, Ms. Morrison was pleased to see several Hmong and Liberian students came with bags of clothing. She saw that two other students, Emily and Keisha, brought clothing, so she inquired about what was in their bags. Emily, a white student excitedly pulled out her soccer uniform, and Keisha, an African American student, pulled jeans and her favorite sweatshirt out of her bag. Ms. Morrison told the two girls she appreciated the.
Case Study THE INVISIBLE SPONSOR1BackgroundSome execut.docx
Case Study : THE INVISIBLE SPONSOR1
Background
Some executives prefer to micromanage projects whereas other executives
are fearful of making a decision because, if they were to make the wrong
decision, it could impact their career. In this case study, the president of the company assigned one of the vice presidents to act as the project sponsor on a project designed to build tooling for a client. The sponsor, however, was reluctant to make any decisions.
Assigning the VP
Moreland Company was well-respected as a tooling design-and-build
company. Moreland was project-driven because all of its income came
from projects. Moreland was also reasonably mature in project management.
When the previous VP for engineering retired, Moreland hired an executive from a manufacturing company to replace him. The new VP for engineering, Al Zink, had excellent engineering knowledge about tooling but had worked for companies that were not project-driven. Al had very little knowledge about project management and had never functioned as a project sponsor. Because of Al’s lack of experience as a sponsor, the president decided that Al should “get his feet wet” as quickly as possible and assigned him as the project sponsor on a mediumsized project. The project manager on this project was Fred Cutler. Fred was an engineer with more than twenty years of experience in tooling design and manufacturing. Fred reported directly to Al Zink administratively.
Fred's Dilemma
Fred understood the situation; he would have to train Al Zink on how to
function as a project sponsor. This was a new experience for Fred because subordinates usually do not train senior personnel on how to do their job. Would Al Zink be receptive?
Fred explained the role of the sponsor and how there are certain project documents that require the signatures of both the project manager and the project sponsor. Everything seemed to be going well until Fred informed Al that the project sponsor is the person that the president eventually holds accountable for the success or failure of the project. Fred could tell that Al was
quite upset over this statement.
Al realized that the failure of a project where he was the sponsor could damage his reputation and career. Al was now uncomfortable about having to act as a sponsor but knew that he might eventually be assigned as a sponsor on other projects. Al also knew that this project was somewhat of a high risk. If Al could function as an invisible sponsor, he could avoid making any critical decisions.
In the first meeting between Fred and Al where Al was the sponsor, Al asked Fred for a copy of the schedule for the project. Fred responded: I’m working on the schedule right now. I cannot finish the schedule until you tell me whether you want me to lay out the schedule based upon best time, least cost, or least risk.
Al stated that he would think about it and get back to Fred as soon as possible.
During the middle of the next week, Fred and Al m.
CASE STUDY Experiential training encourages changes in work beha.docx
CASE STUDY: Experiential training encourages changes in work behavior and growth in one’s abilities, which is accomplished through a multitude of methods. Experiential training has proven to be cost-effective while motivating employees as well as improving self-awareness, personal accountability, teamwork skills, and communication skills (Ritchie, 2011). Additionally, the training methods provide trainees with direct experience, the opportunity to reflect on that experience, and share models to help trainees to deduce using both present and past experience, while accommodating learning styles and strengths (Ritchie, 2011). Valkanos and Fragoulis identify several reasons why experiential training provides value:
1. Ongoing advances in technology requiring changes in knowledge, skills, and abilities
2. Divergence between theory and practice
3. Mergers and acquisitions of enterprises which tend to bring new jobs, organizational culture, and work content
4. Constant environment of change, from working conditions to processes and procedures relating to organizational issues, quality, and new products or services, and requiring new competencies, duties, or work content (Valkanos & Fragoulis, 2007, p. 22).

BUS 308 Week 2 Lecture 1
Examining Differences - overview
Expected Outcomes
After reading this lecture, the student should be familiar with:
1. The importance of random sampling.
2. The meaning of statistical significance.
3. The basic approach to determining statistical significance.
4. The meaning of the null and alternate hypothesis statements.
5. The hypothesis testing process.
6. The purpose of the F-test and the T-test.
Overview
Last week we collected clues and evidence to help us answer our case question about
males and females getting equal pay for equal work. As we looked at the clues presented by the
salary and comp-ratio measures of pay, things got a bit confusing with results that did not see to
be consistent. We found, among other things, that the male and female compa-ratios were fairly
close together with the female mean being slightly larger. The salary analysis showed a different
view; here we noticed that the averages were apparently quite different with the males, on
average, earning more. Contradictory findings such as this are not all that uncommon when
examining data in the “real world.”
One issue that we could not fully address last week was how meaningful were the
differences? That is, would a different sample have results that might be completely different, or
can we be fairly sure that the observed differences are real and show up in the population as
well? This issue, often referred to as sampling error, deals with the fact that random samples
taken from a population will generally be a bit different than the actual population parameters,
but will be “close” enough to the actual.

Case Study Crocs: Revolutionizing an Industry’s Supply Chain Model for
Competitive Advantage
If the products sell extremely well, we will
build more in season, and will be back on the
shelves in a few weeks. And we’ll build even
more, and even more, and even more, in that
same season. We’re not going to wait with a
hot new product until next year, when hope-
fully the same trend is alive.
—Ronald Snyder, CEO of Crocs, Inc.1
On May 3, 2007, Crocs, Inc. released its results for the
first quarter of the year. The footwear company,
which had sold its first shoes in 2003, reported reve-
nues of $142 million for the quarter, more than three
times its sales for the first quarter of 2006. Net in-
come, at $0.61 per share was more than 17 percent
of sales, nearly four times higher than the previous
year.2 These results far exceeded market expecta-
tions, which had been for earnings of $0.49 per share
on $114 million of revenue.3 As part of the earnings
release, the company announced a two-for-one stock
split. Immediately after the announcement, the stock
price jumped 15 percent.
The growth and profitability of Crocs, which made
funky, brightly colored shoes using an extremely com-
fortable plastic material, had been astounding. Much
of this growth had been made possible by a highly
flexible supply chain which enabled the company to
build additional product to fulfill new orders quickly
within the selling season, allowing it to respond to un-
expectedly high demand—a capability that was previ-
ously unheard of in the footwear industry. This ability
to fulfill the needs of retailers also made the company
a very popular supplier to shoe sellers.
This success also raised questions about how
the company should grow in the future. Should it
vertically integrate or grow through product line
extension? Should it grow organically or through ac-
quisition? Would potential growth paths exploit
Crocs’ core competencies or defocus them?
CROCS, INC.
In 2002, three friends from Boulder, Colorado went
sailing in the Caribbean. One brought a pair of foam
clog shoes that he had bought from a company in
Canada. The clogs were made from a special mate-
rial that did not slip on wet boat decks, was easy
to wash, prevented odor, and was extremely com-
fortable. The three, Lyndon “Duke” Hanson, Scott
Seamans, and George Boedecker, decided to start a
business selling these Canadian shoes to sailing en-
thusiasts out of a leased warehouse in Florida, as
Hanson said, “so we could work when we went on
sailing trips there.”4 The founders wanted to name
the shoes something that captured the amphibious
nature of the product. Since “Alligator” had already
been taken, they chose to name the shoes “Crocs.”
The shoes were an immediate success, and word
of mouth expanded the customer base to a wide
range of people who spent much of their days stand-
ing, such as doctors and gardeners. In October 2003,
as the business began to grow, th.

The Veterans Health Administration:
Taking Home Telehealth Services to
Scale Nationally
Andrew Broderick
ABSTRACT: Since the 1990s, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has used infor-
mation and communications technologies to provide high-quality, coordinated, and com-
prehensive primary and specialist care services to its veteran population. Within the VHA,
the Office of Telehealth Services offers veterans a program called Care Coordination/
Home Telehealth (CCHT) to provide routine noninstitutional care and targeted care man-
agement and case management services to veterans with diabetes, congestive heart fail-
ure, hypertension, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other conditions. The program uses
remote monitoring devices in veterans’ homes to communicate health status and to cap-
ture and transmit biometric data that are monitored remotely by care coordinators. CCHT
has shown promising results: fewer bed days of care, reduced hospital admissions, and
high rates of patient satisfaction. This issue brief highlights factors critical to the VHA’s
success—like the organization’s leadership, culture, and existing information technology
infrastructure—as well as opportunities and challenges.
OVERVIEW
Since the 1990s, information and communications technologies—including tele-
health—have been at the core of the Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA’s)
successful system-level transformation toward providing continuous, coordinated,
and comprehensive primary and specialist care services. The VHA’s leadership
and culture; underlying health information technology infrastructure; and strong
commitment to standardized work processes, policies, and training have all con-
tributed to the home telehealth program’s success in meeting the chronic care
needs of a population of aging veterans and reducing their use of institutional
care and its associated costs. The home teleheath model also encourages patient
activation, self-management, and helps in the early detection of complications.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
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 Education
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.

Running head Healthy people 2020Healthy people 2020 .docx
- 1. Running head: Healthy people 2020 Healthy people 2020 2 Healthy people 2020 Diabetes mellitus Introduction This is a disease that results from the body’s inability to produce enough insulin or inability of the body to produce an appropriate response to insulin. This is the hormone regulation the way the body absorbs glucose. The improper functioning of the insulin in the body may result in elevated levels of blood glucose resulting in various abnormal metabolic activities. This finally results in complications in the body functioning. I am interested in this illness because of its prevalence currently. Across the globe, the number of individual suffering from diabetes mellitus has increased in the past ten years and that has brought this concern. Currently, in the United States, the effect is estimated at 29.1 million. The disease has been classified by the healthy people 2020 initiative group as occupying the 7nth position among the leading causes of death currently. Morbidity and comorbidity in the United States There are various disparities in the diabetes risk. The people from the minority population are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes. The minority groups, in this case, comprises 25% of the adult patient suffering from diabetes in the United States. The majority group comprises the children and adolescent with
- 2. diabetes type 2. According to the healthy people initiate 2020, the African American, American Indians, and some Asian Americans are at higher risk of suffering from type 2 diabetes. The prevalence of this illness among the American Indians is 2- 5 times that of the whites. Averagely, African Americans are 1.7 times as likely compared to Mexican Americans (Healthy people 2020, 2016). There are some barriers to the progress of diabetes care. The first one being the challenges arising from the design of the healthcare system and the other one being the continuous increase of diabetes cases. This results to decrease in the attention and resources available for every patient. Apart from the two, there are other comorbidities associated with diabetes. These include fracture risks, cancer risk, and prognosis, cognitive impairment, and incontinence. Impact on health of the nation Though manageable, diabetes is still one of the diseases posing a major health threat to the United States population and its healthcare system. This illness affects approximately 26 million people in this country with approximately 18.8 million people diagnosed and about seven million not yet diagnosed. Diabetes comes with an array of health issues. Among them being lower limb amputation, it has been determined to possibly cause blindness and kidney failure. Again, it contributes a lot to cardiovascular diseases. Research has indicated that approximately 68% of people suffering from diabetes end up dying of cardiovascular diseases. Economically, research shows that in 2012, this illness caused the United States to close to $245billion as both direct and indirect costs (The Cost of Diabetes, 2015). Since 1990, the prevalence of this illness has increased by approximately 60% to the currently estimated figures of 29.1 million. Looking at the figure as at 2012 which stood at 18.8 million and the figures produced by the healthy 2020 people as at 2017 which stands at 29.1 million. That indicates clearly how fast this disease is escalating and how much it is affecting the United States healthcare system. Even though the government is trying all the best to equip the
- 3. healthcare facilities with the necessary equipment and personnel to fight this disease, the rate at which it is advancing is too high for the government to meet. That is what results in the high doctor-patient ratio and minimum resources allocated to each patient. This intron effects the quality of medical care provided by the hospital facilities across the country and for that matter, the difficulty in fighting the illness sets in. Looking at the total population of the United States population which is approximately 324 million, 29 million are diabetic. That is a large population of unhealthy people. That implies that the number of people who can work effectively to deliver to the country’s economy is reduced by 29 million. The numbers indicate that the health of the United States population is reducing as years passes by. Healthy people 2020 goals and objectives The healthy people 2020 initiative have various objectives and goals for this population. i. Reduce the number of new cases of diabetes. The initiative is aiming at providing lifestyle education and other means of living free of diabetes through conduction public education and awareness. ii. Reduce death rate caused by diabetes. This involves teaching the diabetic person way to live with diabetes. The concept of disease management is something the initiative has the aimed at doing. This is to be achieved in three ways, the first way is to reduce the general mortality among the persons with diabetes and secondly is to reduce the number of cardiovascular deaths occurring to the diabetic persons. Finally, the initiative is aimed at reducing the rate if lower extremity amputation in diabetic patients. iii. To improve the glycemic control among diabetic patients. The initiative is aimed at reducing the proportion of the persons with diabetes with an A1c value which is greater than 9%. Secondly, the initiative aims at improving the lipid control in diabetic persons, increase the number of people diagnosed with diabetes and their blood pressure put under control. Ensure that
- 4. the proportion of persons with diabetes having annual dental examination is increased. Increase the number of diabetic individuals with glycosylated hemoglobin measured at least twice a year. Increases the number of people receiving diabetes education once they are diagnosed with the disease. Increasing the number of diabetic patients performing self –blood glucose monitoring daily. Increase the number of diabetic persons who obtain urinary microalbumin measurement. Increase the number of diagnosed cases of diabetes (Healthy people 2020, 2016). iv. To increase behaviors for prevention for persons at high risk of suffering diabetes. This goal has the various objectives among them is increasing the number of people at high risk of suffering from diabetes who have prediabetes reporting the increase in levels of physical activity. Secondly, the initiative aims at increasing the number of people with prediabetes reporting attempts of loss of weight. Finally, this initiative also aims at increasing the number of people at high risk of suffering from diabetes who report reduced amounts of fat in their diets. In general, the main objective of this initiative is to reduce the burden of diabetes and improve quality of life for the people who are suffering from the illness and those at risk of being affected by the disorder.
