G.J. is a 71-year-old overweight woman who presents to the Family Practice Clinic for the first time complaining of a long history of bilateral knee discomfort that becomes worse when it rains and usually feels better when the weather is warm and dry. “My arthritis hasn’t improved a bit this summer though,” she states. Discomfort in the left knee is greater than in the right knee. She has also suffered from low back pain for many years, but recently it has become worse. She is having difficulty using the stairs in her home. The patient had recently visited a rheumatologist who tried a variety of NSAIDs to help her with pain control. The medications gave her mild relief but also caused significant and intolerable stomach discomfort. Her pain was alleviated with oxycodone. However, when she showed increasing tolerance and began insisting on higher doses of the medication, the physician told her that she may need surgery and that he could not prescribe more oxycodone for her. She is now seeking medical care at the Family Practice Clinic. Her knees started to get significantly more painful after she gained 20 pounds during the past nine months. Her joints are most stiff when she has been sitting or lying for some time and they tend to “loosen up” with activity. The patient has always been worried about osteoporosis because several family members have been diagnosed with the disease. However, nonclinical manifestations of osteoporosis have developed.

Discussion on comparing arkansas and tennessee in financing higher education.

/in /by

Create a 6 pages page paper that discusses comparing arkansas and tennessee in financing higher education. In this work, I compared Arkansas and Tennessee in their financing of higher education for possible lessons.

The formula for state support to higher education. According to ADHE (2010, p. 3), A.C.A “establishes the process and key components for formula development for funding public institutions of higher education” that the State of Arkansas adopted. Based on ADHE (2010, p. 3), the content of the formula is the principle of providing “fair and equitable state support to all postsecondary students across the state, regardless of the state institution attended” while recognizing level requirements, equipment needs, unique missions, growth, economies of scale, and other factors. In contrast, compared to Arkansas’ equity-based formula, the formula adopted by the State of Tennessee for funding higher education is outcome and performance-based. The TSBE (2011, p. 4) pointed this out very clearly when it emphasized a “productivity and efficiency through an outcomes-based funding formula” for higher education. The TSBE (2011 p. 5) reported that the outcomes-based funding was approved for implementation since AY 2011-12 while the performance funding standard was approved for implementation since AY 2010-11.

Institutional winners. Based on the funding formula discussed earlier, it follows that the institutional winners for Arkansas are the institutions focusing on those with lower incomes while the institutional winners for Tennessee will be likely those who have demonstrated the best outcomes or those who have performed well on the education criteria. Evaluating Tennessee’s progress on performance or outcome-based for higher education, however, may be too early because Tennessee has just begun their new policy. If outcomes and performance correlate with the income class of the student population, the likely winners in Tennessee will be the institutions catering to students from the rich.

Conditions associated with state support for higher education. It follows from our discussion that the condition that should be associated with the state’s continuing support for higher education in Arkansas is that education should be extended especially to those disadvantaged by family income. However, there is no data available in the documents reviewed by this work suggesting that such a condition was imposed on the schools receiving state support in Arkansas.

Complete 9 pages APA formatted article: Effect of Mobile Entertainment to Children. The primary reason for this was due to their poor and less improved hardware exhibiting little screening, as well as small sound, pitched beeps.

The usage of mobile phones is widespread among teenagers, Australian teenagers leading on this since the peer groups are fond of pressurizing those who don’t have to get one. In my essay paper, I am going to give an account of the uses of mobile technology and its contribution to the entertainment industry. I will further narrow on playing games like one of the televisions received from their usage, particularly by children. The research will finally give an account of the advantages and disadvantages of mobile use by the children and finally give critical thinking to the issues involved and carefully respond to them.

The mobile technology got first discovered in the year 1970, and the first mobile voice call got made in the year 1973after which the world has adopted its use in many areas. In the recent 21st Century, a bigger proportion of young people in secondary schools, students, have their individual mobile phone. With time, mobile phone usage is growing and undergoing various dynamism due to the introduction of sequentially more improved and updated ones than the previously used or sold in the market. The newly introduced mobile phones have updated software and hardware enabling making them powerful thereby offering the same roles played by computers.
