Introduction Various scholars and health care practitioners have tried to the definition the role of a nursing practitioner, but unfortunately, a universal definition does not exist. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to investigate the roles of a nursing practitioner (NP) by providing conceptual and operational definitions of the construct “nurse practitioner.” Therefore, before providing a personal conceptual and operational definition of an NP, the words “conceptual” and “operational” need to be defined. According to Hurley and Watson (2016), a conceptual definition tries to explain what a concept is in theoretical and abstract ways while operational definitions, on the other hand, are built to tie down relatively complex theories or scientific concepts to the ground of empirical reality. While the conceptual meaning of an NP-only illustrates what the words mean, the operational definition illustrates how to measure the concept to determine realistically how to measure and observe it.

The notion of culture plays a crucial role in the process of defining the function in the healthcare system. Moreover, such aspects as language, worldview, education, and values determine the medical examination in every country in the world.

Therefore, Indian culture has a strong influence on treatment due to spiritual and political aspects.

Therefore, as the most critical pipeline in the city, maintaining uninterrupted water supply services is non-negotiable. To this end, the city has undertaken to rehabilitate the existing water line so as to add fifty more years to it. The current water line system is more than thirty years old but needs to be rehabilitated, using trenchless technology.

Summary Powell, R. (2017). Research Bets and Behavioral IR. International Organization 71, S265-S277. Behavioral economics has become popular especially in determining the elements of rational-choice approaches regarding international relations. The field of economics deals with finding the link between assumptions and conclusions. The author highlights that behaviors of individuals tend to deviate from the characteristics mentioned in the standard international relations models. The problem with using the models is lack of individualism since they focus on aggregates. The models tend to offer insights that would be feasible for aggregates, such as political parties, ministries, departments, and interest groups among others. When dealing with the challenges posed in the IR models, it is possible to use quasi-behavioral approach that can study groups as unitary elements that do not have the classical rational-actor assumptions as individuals do. Another critical approach is using theories that revolve around individuals as the key actors. Overall, behavioral economics is necessary in showing the predictions in the standard model that emanate from varied assumptions.

Concept and Criticism Jean Hubert Martin examined non-Western art during his landmark exhibition “Magiciens de la Terre” at a time when international exhibitions were majorly focusing on Western art only featuring artists from Europe and North America. The “Magiciens de la Terre” rocked the art world by provoking heated arguments among artists that did not acknowledge the works of non-Western artists. Martin featured artistic works from Asia, Latin America, Australia and Africa along the central pieces of art from the United States and Europe to depict the primitivism in unequal treatment of artistic works from the globe. In this paper, the provoking work of Jean Hubert Martin during the 1989 exhibition is examined as greater understanding on the influence of global art circuits and particular locations culture is sought.

It is not always going to be easy to start up a new online business, but with the right marketing strategy, most of the challenges may be addressed. Opening a women clothing store which sells online will have its share of challenges. Foremost, most women want to fit the clothes, and where a wrong choice is delivered, a customer is likely to decline. Competition is also high in this business. The beauty store is advantageous in the sense that a ready market is available given the fascination with the products, but again, the competition is stiff and challenges of delivery to distant customers still persist. A fragrance line also has a ready market since the product has a high consumption rate, making it a good choice of business. However, to be successful, one has to think about finding high-quality products that would sell and generating the desired traffic. These would be a challenge.

This dish is not prepared using a specific recipe or cut of ingredients, it is more of a technique. Typically, it comprises a sizeable cut of tough beef (which is preferably browned) which is prepared together with broth and aromatics to a melting tender state. The appearance of the hot pot dish portrays some brownish meat soaked in some heavy gravy. On the meat and in the gravy, there are sizeable pieces of carrots and green-leafy vegetables that make the meal appear delicious and healthy at the same time. Moreover, the gravy is thick suggesting that the meal took a significant amount of time to prepare. Notably, meal’s ingredients exist in a mixed manner that makes it look colorful and appetizing. To an extent, it appears as if it is sticky since the soup is relatively thick.

The jazz music genre is as fascinating as its sociopolitical and politico-economic underpinnings, the two latter narratives which virtually no scholar affords to skip or skim through carelessly without significant ridicule. The story of jazz is a narrative beyond music and one which evokes discussions that few researchers feel comfortable documenting. One notable jazz period that makes it to many research works even today is the Swing Era (ca. the 1930s to mid-40s) that many agree revolutionized jazz for the performing artists, the audience’s understanding of jazz as a music genre and to some extent the music industry as a whole. This paper reviews three works by three different authors on swing era jazz in a bid to uncover their opinions, subtle and explicit, on intriguing questions that span the art of music to the sociocultural realities of the swing era. It argues that of all jazz eras, the swing was the defining period when jazz became popular and gained acceptance outside African American community.

Learning from Service I learned immensely about myself from undertaking the project. First, it is my understanding that working in a group is more beneficial than as an individual as I have before. My team members were really helpful and with their positive attitude towards the project we were able to achieve the best results. I discovered that I am a team player. The score for the presentation was however based on personal presentation. This quite challenged me as I got the lowest score. In that regard, through the project I was able to identify my weakness in presentation. As an international student this project has pushed me to greater limits as I was subjected to additional research in order to be at par with my team members. Nonetheless, it was a great learning experience as I learnt the importance of teamwork and research.
