Nurses fall into this category because they are often tasked with moving patients, and this activity, because of both repetition and overextension, can cause trauma to the lower back, shoulders, legs and arms. One study notes that "Nurses have been identified in the top ten ranked occupations for work-related musculoskeletal disorders" (Powell-Cope, Hughes, Sedlak & Nelson, 2008)
This significant cost to businesses requires that a solution be attempted. One expert takes the economic argument to an even more personal level when he says "The difference between a not very good chair and a really good chair is about another $300 & #8230; Compared to a single injury -- one carpal tunnel syndrome case can cost upward of $100,000 -- that investment is trivial" (Winter, 2007)
Years of research evidence supporting the relationship between good health and participation in physical activity was recently summarized and published in the United States Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity and Health (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 1996). The Surgeon General recommended daily participation in physical activity for maximum health benefits because inactivity has been found to be significantly related to coronary artery disease (Araki, Huddleston, & Mertesdorf, 2002)
, 1991. Methodology While the research process itself is simply "gathering the information you need to answer a question and thereby help you solve a problem" (Booth, Colomb & Williams, 1995, p
Regardless of the reason for involvement, Brynteson and Adams emphasize that it is important to remember that participation levels nation-wide are low. In fact, some researchers maintain that university programs that are designed to promote participation in leisure time physical activity and positive attitudes toward activity can be effective in helping young adults adopt a physically active lifestyle (Brynteson & Adams, 1993)
These reasons are discussed further below. 1) There are going to be more students in the UK staying in school longer in the future (Cetron & Davies, 2001)
The growth of sophisticated networked information systems and distributed computing has created a potentially dangerous environment for private and public organizations. "Critical data -- such as from trade secrets, proprietary information, troop movements, sensitive medical records and financial transactions -- flows through these systems" (Hamilton, 1999, p
Consequently, organizations are becoming increasingly concerned with potential exposure and are looking for ways to evaluate their organization's security profile today. Risk assessment software applications systems allow researchers, managers and others to perform "what if" analyses of the value of their information and various threats and vulnerabilities (Hyatt, 2002)
More importantly, ensuring a safe physical education environment that is conducive to the physical fitness process is a fundamental responsibility of PE teachers everywhere. A relatively consistent finding in the education literature is that curriculum decisions, instruction, and student learning is affected by the beliefs, attitudes, and values of educators (Kulinna & Silverman, 2000)
Understanding these differences can make the difference between a weak research strategy and a successful one. Because of the need to obtain as much verifiable and replicable information as possible in any research endeavor, by using the best aspects of both qualitative and quantitative research design, the researcher can achieve better results and will be in a better position to design future projects as well (Leedy, 1993)
17). However, risk assessment is not a purely scientific enterprise (Mcgarity, 2003)
There are unique opportunities for the creation of more powerful interfaces in order to maximize the information communication process in these different settings. "The key, then, is to cut through the confusion to find the applications that will work best with your company" (Schmidt, 2003, p
Scope of Study. The costs associated with tort claims in the UK are relatively modest in comparison with those of some other industrialized nations, but the trend towards seeking compensation through the courts is on the rise since its modest decline in the late 1980s (as shown in Table 1 below) (Schuck, 1991)
Health professionals primarily focus on change processes that affect general well being. More specifically, health specialists are involved in teaching, advocating, and administering health change programs at the individual, organizational, or community level (Simons-Morton, Greene, & Gottlieb, 1995)
providing a set of principles and performance requirements which, where relevant, can be adopted by the industry to its needs'.(Department of Industrial Relations: 1995: p
However, this software once it gets on the computer will of course need to be updated from time to time, as there are new viruses made every day. There are a few things that are vital section of any software that is antivirus, one will need to look for a good discovery rate, compatibility with the companies system, easy to use, and must have the capability to make it update (Crump, 2009)
Secunia.com is an enterprise that looks over vulnerabilities in over 13,000 merchandises (Patton, 2003)
These have to be utilized in combination in order to make the encryption secure enough that is to say, adequately hard to crack. Public key encryption is an advanced and practical way of doing encryption (Suter, 2006)
The primary aim of contingency planning is not to perfectly pick out and formulate a plan for every possible challange since this would be impossible and would be thinking in the impractical realm, but rather the objective is to arm the organization with a possible response in case of an eventuality. Few eventualities actually turn out as foreseen however, organizations that have prioritized contingencies and possible solutions are more prone to reaching their major targets and goals successfully (Yuko Mitome & Karen D. Spree, 2001)
Wal-Mart's lack of emphasis on consumer safety. The retailer was accused of ensuring full surveillance and safety within the store to ensure that products are not being stolen, but does not ensure any surveillance and safety in the parking lots, where people are being robbed or even killed (Greenwald, 2005)
