The COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting child health as children are increasingly becoming vulnerable as healthcare authorities prioritize adult wellbeing. My childhood health experiences have allowed me to gather critical information to help address infection rates among children as the world awaits an effective vaccination. In this regard, embracing trained immunity is an effective evidence-based practice (EBP) approach due to its efficiency. Therefore, trained immunity is a viable EBP protocol to address rising COIVD-19 children infection rates. COVID-19 infection rates among children are increasingly becoming a significant concern among healthcare professionals. According to Faber (2020), even as nurses struggle to comprehend and address COVID-19 infections in children, a new threat has emerged in children struggling with COVID-19. Faber (2020) asserts that Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome (PIMS) is an immune response to previous infections like COVID-19. Common PIMS symptoms include cracked lips, persistent fever, myocarditis, rash, abdominal pain, among other complications (Faber, 2020). The emerging threat comes after the Centers for Disease Control reported the escalation of COVID-19 children infection rates in the United States beginning March 2020 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2020). Also, there is a lack of adequate information on children’s infection statistics due to the prioritization…
Introduction and Background Florence Nightingale was a British nurse born in a wealthy family in Italy. The nurse dedicated her life to serving humanity. She served as a nurse during the Crimean war, where she helped injured soldiers to recover. The nurse promoted cleanliness and hygiene within hospitals to facilitate faster recovery of wounded soldiers. She provided nutritious food to patients in the hospital to improve their health (Shetty, 2016). The nurse leader believed to have a calling from God to serve and enhance the welfare of patients.

Florence Nightingale made significant contributions to the nursing profession.
The most crucial problem of sports psychology is the conditions affecting the activity of athletes. One of these conditions is the presence of spectators at the stands and their behavior. The fans create a unique psychological background for the competition. From the perspective of sports psychology, they (even within the bounds of ethical standards) affect the athlete’s condition: either a positive or negative emotional background for the game is formed. The presence of spectators who support the athletes or the rivals and their attitude to what is happening can significantly impact the performance. The lack of fans in the stands affects athletes’ performance: even though they experience less performance anxiety, they are also devoid of the encouragement that fans normally provide.
Much as individuals lead private lives, such cannot be possible without some level of government influence on specific areas. While the interaction between the personal activities and the government may not be direct, daily activities are made possible mainly through the influence of public goods. Areas I encounter the government every day is through its provision of electricity, the inspection and certification of foods, the provision of safe drinking water, and the regulation of the workplace. After waking up each morning, I turn on the coffee maker and ensure that my phone is fully charged. The functionality of all these aspects and other activities within the home is dependent on the availability of power. The events lead to interaction with the government is because the Department of Energy under the federal government generates electricity and provides the infrastructure necessary for Americans to access power. The department also protects the grid from physical or cyber-attacks (U.S. Department of Energy). Therefore, it is through the public utility of electricity that I can enjoy my coffee and check my emails and social media activity before leaving the house.

In that dark room, I feel lonely and tired; however, I remember one of the motivations for my escaping from Ghana. It was a desire to make a better life for Tara. It is known that Africa is considered to be one of the poorest continents in the world. In the observed continent, every second person lives below the poverty line. Generally, the most affected by poverty are women and their children; thus, most of them migrate to other continents, especially to America, to find better conditions for their future lives. The United States of America is a state that includes various nationalities from all over the world. Every year more and more people try to make their lives better by moving to the USA. Therefore, I also decided to migrate to the observed country for many reasons. As I have mentioned above, most Africans try to find multiple ways to migrate to other countries to avoid poverty, get medical insurance, or run their business. As for me, one of the reasons for my…

Pop culture, as one of the inherent elements of any culture, refers to ethnography as the instrument of its assessment. Due to ethnography, one can explore the transformations of a particular culture and assess its critical components. Within pop culture, such investigation can occur via analysis of singers’ and groups’ creative work, unique cultures, and specifics of fan clubs. Billie Eilish is the contemporary pop figure who represents the twenty-first-century adolescent angst culture. Studying as well as a recording of human culture is a core purpose of the ethnography. The singer represents the relevant example of ethnographic analysis in the context of the unique culture. Fans all over the world have been trying to alter their appearances and styles of clothing to feel and show a sense of belonging. They may not necessarily communicate much, but they are always there for the people that need them. From the ethnographic perspective, such sense of connectedness and experiencing common emotions, such as love, depression, hope, complicated relations with peers, and losses predispose that the adherents of Billie Eilish culture view outsiders as individuals that can harm their emotional state and disappoint them.
Visual Methods In block 2 of the module, the seminar about visual methods provided satisfying insights about the future of visual research and how these methods can be applied effectively to research work. Mannay (2015, p.1) and Pauwels (2011.p. 68) contend that visual methods are critical components in contemporary research as they offer substantive improvements to research methodologies and varied techniques of data analysis as well as efficiency in carrying out empirical work. The seminar adequately examined how creative visual methods can be used as agents of improved communication in settings where the sender and recipient understand each other better through visual expressions. Visual methods have been used in electronic and print media communication through newspapers, internet and advertisements. The visual message is well organized and eye-catching to the recipient to encourage their participation (Kehrer and Hauser 2013, p.3). Similarly, these methods have proved effective when used for research and provision of evidence in various fields as well as policymaking in matters of national interest.
Introduction Stock screening refers to a tool through which traders and investors sort out stock by considering certain criteria that a given user sets out (Akinde, Peter & Ikpefan, 2019). Notably, this criteria comprise of measurement of management strength and financial performance, valuation of ratios, historical volumes, and prices as well as market data.

Therefore, investors tend to be rewarded for companies that are considered to be socially responsible. This paper, therefore, seeks to establish various applicable style box to generate a 25 security portfolio which satisfies growth and value investing styles.
