segmental reporting :: essays research papers
1.     Review and approval of the previous meeting’s minutes. 2.     Financial overview from Rosaline, on Jim’s behalf. She shared the annual budget of Hope House (see page 7 of Hope House project proposal, Appendix A, attached). Rosaline then explained how money is obtained to meet expenses. There was a long list of either annual, monthly, or semi-regular donors. From month to month, however, there is no guarantee that money sufficient to cover expenses will come in. Rent is paid regularly, but other expenses are not. The people who usually suffer end up being the support staff, and the home is currently behind on their salaries. The home also has a large outstanding debt with Gertrude’s Garden Hospital. 3.     Rosaline then provided an overview of some of the Home’s key needs. These included: -     staff salaries -     a vehicle -     a generator -     heaters -     baby care items food and nutritional formula -     medical care -     pharmaceuticals      among others. 4.     Katherine then provided her overview of the research she carried out on fundraising (see Appendix B, attached). Basically there are 3 ways to make money: a solicitation campaign, selling a product, or hosting an event. There is no one-size-fits all perfect fundraising solution. Katherine emphasized the importance of having quality campaign materials (perhaps we could find a business willing to print these for us free of charge) and good publicity. The general wisdom is that no more than 2-3 initiatives should be undertaken each year so as not to exhaust either volunteers or donors. We also need to determine who our audience is: who would want to give to babies? Roz mentioned that here in Kenya it is generally best not to focus on using the money raised for wages, though Katherine K. said that this would not be a problem abroad. 5.     This led quite naturally to a productive brainstorming session on ways to fundraise. The ideas generated are listed below: -     Java House pancake breakfasts -     Leo Club at ISK -     Concert at ISK of local musicians, e.g. Eric Wainaina -     Model United Nations dance -     Golf tournament -     Art exhibition -     Auction -     Develop list of prospective donors and send out solicitation letters (e.g. General Motors, Toyota, Brookside, baby food companies, baby care items companies, etc.) -     Newsletter for donors -     â€Å"shopping list†? -     food drives (already being done occasionally) -     cans for collecting coins in businesses (already being done to some extent) -     â€Å"Friends of Hope House†program -     Adopt a Cot program (already being done to some extent) -     British Army – shipment -     Ten pin bowling/mini golf -     Working with one of the theatres for an opening night event on a new film -     Dinner/dance at a major hotel or a BBQ around the pool with some entertainment

Tuberculosis and Student Success Center
Description of the communicable disease (causes, symptoms, mode of transmission, complications, treatment) and the demographic of interest (mortality, morbidity, incidence, and prevalence). Describe the determinants of health and explain how those factors contribute to the development of this disease. Discuss the epidemiologic triangle as it relates to the communicable disease you have selected. Include the host factors, agent factors (presence or absence), and environmental factors. (The textbook describes each element of the epidemiologic triangle).Explain the role of the community health nurse (case finding, reporting, data collecting, data analysis, and follow-up). Identify at least one national agency or organization that addresses the communicable disease chosen and describe how the organization(s) contributes to resolving or reducing the impact of disease. Tuberculosis, MTB, or TB (short for tubercle bacillus), in the past also called Phthisis or Phthisis pulmonalis, is a comm on, and in many cases lethal, infectious disease caused by various strains of mycobacteria, usually Mycobacterium tuberculosis.[1] Tuberculosis typically attacks the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body. It is spread through the air when people who have an active TB infection cough, sneeze, or otherwise transmit respiratory fluids through the air. [2] Most infections are asymptomatic and latent, but about one in ten latent infections eventually progresses to active disease which, if left untreated, kills more than 50% of those so infected.The classic symptoms of active TB infection are a chronic cough with blood-tinged sputum, fever, night sweats, and weight loss (the latter giving rise to the formerly prevalent term â€Å"consumption†). Infection of other organs causes a wide range of symptoms. Diagnosis of active TB relies on radiology (commonly chest X-rays), as well as microscopic examination and microbiological culture of body fluids. Diagnosis of latent TB relies on the tuberculin skin test (TST) and/or blood tests.Treatment is difficult and requires administration of multiple antibiotics over a long period of time. Social contacts are also screened and treated if necessary. Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem in multiple drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) infections. Prevention relies on screening programs and vaccination with the bacillus Calmette–Guerin vaccine. A minimum of three references is required. Refer to â€Å"Communicable Disease Chain. †Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.An abstract is not required. This assignment uses a grading rubric. Instructors will be using the rubric to grade the assignment; therefore, students should review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.

Qianer Wu SPEA-V161 Solution paper Hukou System, the Primary Reason of China’s Urban Overpopulation Poverty, a state in which income is insufficient to provide basic necessities, is a worldwide problem that relates to the living conditions of people and the economic growth of a country. Despite the remarkable increase in per capital income and decline in poverty, China still faces many challenges to reduce urban overpopulation and wealth gap caused by state policies such as Hukou System, a household registration system which requires every Chinese citizen to be officially and constantly registered with the Hukou police from birth and reduces the possibility of geographic and social mobility. In 1958, Chinese special household†¦show more content†¦Moreover, the Hukou system largely prevents the migration from rural to urban by restricting residential areas of citizens. It makes rural people more difficult to make a living in progressive cities and flouring environment. The differentiated treatments for urban and rural areas mean limiting the growth of economics and the beginning of the wealth gap between rural area and urban area. As the developing of factories and trading, urban people are easier to get a high payment and stable job in the city and enjoy the subsidies from the government every month. Depending on the data in the China Statistical Yearbook, the ratio of per capital income between rural areas to urban areas in 1978 was 1:3. From 1988 to 1995, the percent of real income increased in big cities like Beijng was 81.9% and in rural areas like Gansu Province was only 0.6%. The lack of subsidies on the medical care in a rural area also enforces the poverty. In 1980, approximately 40% of patients who need hospital treatments had to remain at home due to the poor medical care in rural. Nearly 70% of families under the poverty line were because of the illness and sick. All these differences push people to move to cities for higher payment job and more opportunities. Although people want to migrate to the more developed cities, the Hukou system limits the opportunities for them to develop in cities. However, there are still millions of rural people moving to the big cities to seek for opportunities each
