“Cultural distinction Essay”

This essay is an exercise in Critical thinking and writing. Can you relate what you already know to what you learned and the differences in the wide world in which we live? Remember what Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” Your small hamlet is not the be-all and end-all of behavior and thought. You need to compare and contrast different psychological views of the world. Not everyone thinks the same as we do here in North Eastern North Carolina in the United States or in other countries. Show me you are aware there are other thought processes and behaviors out there in the wide world within which we live. The ONLY sources for this paper must be the textbook or my online lectures.htt

Selection and Assessment Essay

Write a 3000-word essay on the following essay title:
“Selection and assessment reproduce social inequalities in organisations rather than challenge them”. Critically discuss this statement, drawing on both mainstream and critical literature and analyses.
You are welcome to use headings as you see fit, but this is not compulsory.
Some guiding questions to help you unpack the question and structure your essay:
· What is the mainstream ‘best practice, evidence-based’ approach to designing a selection process? Describe the key steps in the selection process, paying particular attention to the mainstream literature on assessment methods and how choices should be made in relation to which methods to include in a selection process.
· Consider the extent to which a ‘best practice, evidence-based’ selection process can be considered to be ‘fair’. You should aim to demonstrate an understanding of how ‘fairness’ is discussed and debated within a) the mainstream literature and b) the critical literature.
o Is fairness about neutrality and objectivity and if so, then how can this be achieved and what are the limitations to this approach? What assumptions does the mainstream approach to selection and assessment make about ‘selecting the right person for the right job’?
o Or is fairness about social justice and therefore relates to tackling social inequalities? To what extent does the mainstream selection process, with its different assessment methods, help advance this aim of challenging social inequalities in organisations?

Pharmacologic approaches for Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is a disease condition that arises when blood sugar levels are above the normal range. Blood sugar forms the chief energy source in our bodies and is dietarily acquired. The levels of glucose in the blood are controlled by glucagon and insulin hormones. Glucagon is produced by alpha cells of Islets of Langerhans located in the pancreas to control the hepatic production of glucose and ketone (Venkataraman et al., 2020). Insulin is produced by beta cells in the Islets of Langerhans. It signals the muscle, liver and fat cells to take in sugar for production of energy, and storage. Glucagon and insulin balance is achieved through a negative feedback loop. Diabetes come in several distinct types including type1, type 2, gestational and juvenile-onset diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is an insulin-dependent type of diabetes. It arises when the pancreas is unable to produce insulin. Inefficiency of the pancreas may result from autoimmune activity where the pancreatic cells are attacked by antibodies, or genetic related non-functionality of the beta cells and other associated health problems within the pancreas (AMA, 2020). Injection of insulin into the fatty adipose skin tissue may provide better outcomes to patients suffering from this type of diabetes. With type 2 diabetes, the blood sugar levels hike due to the inability of the hepatocytes, muscle and fat cells to utilize insulin. Insulin receptors in these cells are either deficient, or non-functional. Type 2 diabetes is mild, but is associated with reticular, adrenal, and neural complications as well as increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Healthy weight, exercise and proper diet are key in management of this type of diabetes.
Pregnancy associated insulin resistance may cause diabetes. Diabetes with such etiology is termed as gestational diabetes. It is spotted in middle or late pregnancy (Venkataraman et al., 2020). Control of this type of diabetes is important in consideration of the fetal health, growth and development. Gestational diabetes is managed through careful planning of meals, controlling weight gain, and daily exercise. Juvenile-onset diabetes is a type of diabetes that is diagnosed in childhood. Proper care and management of this type of diabetes is essential to enable these children lead a healthy life to adulthood.
Insulin therapy for Type 1 diabetes
Insulin dependent (Type 1) diabetes is treated through administration of insulin. Daily injections of basal and prandial insulin, or infusion of insulin into the subcutaneous tissue is recommended for the management of type 1 diabetes. The medication dosage is weight-based. Start-up doses range from 0.4-1.0 units per kilogram body weight per day. Metabolically stable patients should start insulin therapy at 0.5 unit/kg/day (AMA 2018). A patient presenting with ketoacidosis may require a higher weight-based dosage. Prandial insulin dosage should be matched with carbohydrate intake, anticipated exercise, and pre-meal sugar levels. Hypoglycemia can be reduced by administration of rapid acting analogs of insulin among Type 1 diabetic patients. Patients with successful use of continuous intra-subcutaneous insulin infusion are recommended to continually access the therapy post the age of 65 years.
Impacts of Type 1 diabetes to patients
Type 1 diabetes cause high blood pressure due to the build-up of osmotically active sugar in blood. It is associated with health complications such as nephropathy, cardiovascular diseases and stroke, neuropathy, retinopathy, skin infections and foot problems in the long run. Medical management of the disease increases the cost of living. Insulin therapy, the novel treatment of Type 1 diabetes is associated with increased heart rate, impaired concentration, sweating, dizziness, blurred vision and hunger (Venkataraman et al., 2020). It may also cause anxiety, slurred speech and mood variations.

What ethical system might be best deployed to effectively reform the US criminal justice system? Give examples and explain why.

Try to avoid using cliche and generalizations, “it has been said that,” or “history repeats itself” etc etc.
All claims and assertions that you make of the philosophers, i.e. “Socrates thought that” etc MUST be supported by citations and references from the texts. It does not matter what style you use (MLA etc) as long as I can find the text quickly and easily.
As a rough guide I would expect to see three or four citations per paragraph in support of claims and statements. A paper with only two citations from the texts in the whole paper, for example, is usually a fail.
Do not put new claims, propositions, or arguments in your conclusion. A conclusion should conclude! It should summarize the argument that you have made.

Diabetes and Drug Treatments
Diabetes and Drug Treatments
According to the American Diabetes Association (2018), approximately 1.5 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes every year. When not treated, patients with this condition are susceptible to multiple alterations, including stroke, kidney failure, and heart disease. Multiple recent studies conclude that there are multiple diabetes treatment methods, most of which are in the form of drug therapy. However, the patient’s behavioural factors and the type of diabetes impacts diabetes treatment recommendations.
Rosenthal and Burchum (2021) contend that though type 1 diabetes often presents during childhood or adolescence, the condition can also develop during adulthood. This type of diabetes is caused by an autoimmune reaction that destroys the beta cells responsible for synthesizing insulin. The clinical manifestation of this condition includes high blood sugar, excessive urination and thirst and weight loss.
Approximately 90 to 95% of diagnosed diabetes cases are diabetes type 2 diabetes. Rosenthal and Burchum (2021) espouse that type 2 diabetes is non-insulin-dependent diabetes that develops in genetically predisposed individuals due to advancing age, obesity, and inactivity. Though patients with this condition still produce insulin, its secretion is not tightly coupled with plasma glucose, delaying insulin release while the peak output is subnormal.
Gestational diabetes appears during pregnancy and subsides after delivery (Rosenthal and Burchum, 2021). On the same note, the American Diabetes Association (2018) advises that women with gestational diabetes tend to have undiagnosed pre-existing diabetes, thus requiring them to be diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Furthermore, juvenile diabetes is an autoimmune disease characterized by the pancreas stopping to produce insulin. Rosenthal and Burchum (2021) find that the early signs of this condition include urination and thirst.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug (2017), Metformin, a Biguanide drug class, is the first type 2 diabetes therapy line. Rosenthal and Burchum (2021) argue that this drug is an oral agent that minimizes the production of glucose by the liver and increases tissue response to insulin. This drug comes in two oral preparations with the first initial adult 500 mg dose taken orally twice or once daily with a meal to minimize gastrointestinal upset and the second 500mg to 1 gram taken once daily with the evening meal alongside a gradual titration dose to reduce gastrointestinal effects. The authors contend that some of the side effects of this drug include diarrhoea, nausea, and reduced appetite. On the same note, the U.S. Food and Drug (2017) recommends that patients under this medication not take alcohol since it potentiates the drug’s effects on lactate metabolism and can result in low blood sugar when patients fail to eat enough.
The short-term impacts of type 2 diabetes include hypoglycemia, particularly among patients taking secretagogues including sulfonylurea agents and exogenous insulin-requiring immediate replacement of glucose intravenously or by mouth. Other short term impacts include hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome (Rosenthal and Burchum, 2021). On the other hand, the authors contend that long-term impacts include microvascular complications damaging the small blood vessels resulting in renal failure, retinopathy resulting in blindness and neuropathy resulting in foot disorders and impotence. In addition, long-term macrovascular complications include damages to the major blood vessels resulting in cardiovascular diseases.
