Health Care Versus Illness Care: How Nurses Can Change It-Crimson Publishers





Health Care Versus Illness Care: How Nurses Can Change It by Teresa Marshall in Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings

Statement of the problem: Our nation has been trying to solve the “health care crisis” for decades. Part of this drive is to address the ever rising cost of American “health care”. An examination of our “health care” reveals it is actually illness care. Even with the current “preventative care” mandate of the Affordable Health Care Act it is not preventative care. Essentially the preventative care clause only provides for screenings to find signs of potential problems. The current system does very little for prevention. The screening is a step in the right direction to prevent complications, but really is not preventing the disease. Another system must be employed to truly provide preventative care and curb the rising cost of health care in America.
Purpose of study: To explore the diseases that can be prevented with lifestyle changes, and find methods to assist patients in self-care to prevent disease. It will explore real “health care” that can result in decreased “health care” costs and a healthier nation.
Methodology: A search using CINAHL, alt Health Watch, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition databases using keywords obesity, preventable disease, motivating the unmotivated, and health care costs. A literature review of these articles then conducted.
Findings: Most diseases, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, strokes, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea and breathing problems, mental illness, fatty liver, kidney disease, and obesity are largely preventable with simple lifestyle changes. The interventions that prevent these diseases are well known, but not employed in our current “health care” system.
Conclusion: Our current “illness care system” needs to be replaced by a true “health care” system to prevent disease instead of treat disease. Nurses need have the training and knowledge to effect that change and improve the health care of our nation.

Software Platform for Analise of Data in The Field of Waste Management_ Crimson Publishers

Software Platform for Analise of Data in The Field of Waste Management by Hiroshi Bando In Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings   Abstract This system will create activity in the waste market, which will involve processors. For this purpose, the research of thermal conductivity of RDF-raw materials of waste landfills in the laboratory of quality control of new functional materials GUAP and programming in Java Script virtual platform ECO 365.The global perspective of the project is the consolidation of the laboratory of new composite materials GUAP to create a waste processing Center with the main focus on research in the field of production and sale of biogas. Demand in the market is large. The used technologies of analytical and measuring instruments and programs of three-dimensional equipment will allow to apply in parallel with the analysis of raw materials the possibility of developing equipment to produce by-products from waste with their subsequent certification....

Using Shortened Systematic Strategic Planning (SSP) Working Model for the Development of a Strategic Plan of an Entrepreneurial Business-Case Study_ Crimson Publishers

Using Shortened Systematic Strategic Planning (SSP) Working Model for the Development of a Strategic Plan of an Entrepreneurial Business-Case Study by Hakan Butuner In Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings   Abstract Where strategic analysis tools are explained, this is most frequently done conceptually rather than their actual application in strategic planning. Shortened systematic strategic planning (SSP) consists of a pattern of stepwise procedure for straight-forward planning, and the fundamentals involved in any strategic planning project. SSP has been applied to and tested on different businesses’ subject issue and has been generated by the composition of the cause-and-effect relations of them. The intention here is to provide a new perspective and benefit for the strategic planners by introducing this new systematic methodology and demonstrating its implementation on an entrepreneurial and new business called Visual Co. Accordingly, let shortened version of SSP e...

Synthesis and Characterization of Nickel Doped Iron Oxide Nano Particles for Biomedical Application by Arshad Javid Muhammad in Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings Abstract The objective of this work is to synthesize and characterization of nickel ferrite as MRI contrast agent to improve the signal intensity of T2 weighted images for biomedical application. For structural analysis, XRD was revealed that Ni-doped Fe2O4 have a cubic spinal structure Having Miller Indices (hkl) values of (220), (311), (222), (400), (331), (442), (333), (440) and (531). From XRD data, the grain size of Ni Fe2O4 was observed to be (17.12nm) after 20wt.% Ni-doped Fe2O4, and its further increases up to19.36nm for 40wt.% Ni Fe2O4, respectively. The XRD pattern confirmed that doping of Ni metal increased the grain size of nanoparticles. SEM was performed to study the morphology of prepared samples. EDX was performed to confirm the elemental analysis. EDX spectra depicted the desired peaks of Fe, O, Cl...
