The word paradigm has its etymological roots in Late Latin and Greek; the word paradigma means a pattern or example and paradeigma means pattern, precedent, or exemplar (Harper). Philosophers often credit Thomas Kuhn with popularizing the word as it is used in modern times—after the publication of Kuhn 's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions in 1962, the usage of paradigm in published works skyrocketed (Ngram Viewer-Paradigm). In Structure, Kuhn first introduces paradigms as achievements…
(2012) support a program which would increase accessibility to formal daycare. Although Notley’s program’s directive is to provide more affordable daycare for shift workers, it inadvertently endorses better health outcomes for children. Currently, many families resort to informal care programs; relatives, neighbors, or babysitters, as daycare costs exceed their income. As demonstrated by McLaren and colleagues…
Paradigm shift, term first been used by philosopher of science, Thomas S. Kuhn (1922–96) in his research, which means a fundamental change in approach or underlying assumptions. People believe paradigm shifts is a change from one way of thinking to another. It 's a revolution, a transformation, a sort of metamorphosis. It just does not happen, but rather it is driven by agents of change. It represents a phenomenon that when enough anomalies proved the current philosophy, paradigm or science are…
game of the year. You need to go out there and give one hundred percent every shift. Play with the intensity you’ve been playing with all year. If you do that, if you leave it all on the ice, you can walk the halls tomorrow at school and feel proud of yourselves. Wear that jersey with pride tonight boys because this is your time.” My coach’s words were ringing through my head as I was on the bench waiting for my first shift. I couldn’t stop moving my legs when I was standing watching the puck…
only respect. My boss was the most unprofessional boss I have ever had. I was told on the day I was hired that I needed to wear dress clothes during my shift, so the next day I went out and bought some nice blouses and a pair of dress pants, as my boss had suggested, not yet knowing the huge differences in our dress code. On the day of my first shift, as soon as I walked through the door, my boss asked me if I needed to go finish getting ready before I got started. When he saw my confusion he…
Statement The objective of this paper is to analyze the burden of shift work and job satisfaction among nurses in Winter Park Memorial Hospital. The study will examine the association of predictors between working long shifts and burnout to age, annual salary received, earned years of education and time spent in shift work schedules. Furthermore, the study will help identify potential strategies for improving the quality of life of shift-working nurses. Literature Review In our society…
The study Auditory Attention and Comprehension During a Simulated Night Shift: Effects of Task Characteristics is about negative impacts night shifts and sleep deprivation have on a person. Their logic is that night shifts lead to sleep deprivation which in turn negatively affects performance. Language processing is also observed during the study as well. “Human endogenous circadian rhythms interact with shiftwork resulting in sleep deprivation which negatively affects performance (Reinberg,…
Nurses no longer sleep in wards near their patients. The 24-hour clock has been split into shift work. Initially the split was three 8-hour shifts, but in the 1970s to aid in the alleviation of the nursing shortage 24-hour staffing was changed to two 12-hour shifts (Rollins, 2015). Most nurses found the 12-hour shifts appealing. The 12-hour shifts led to less work hours and less work days, allowing nurses to better balance their job and family life. However, this change…
Imagine a rocket, specifically molded, perfectly symmetrical, prepared to do it’s job exactly how it needs to with no room for error. Seems almost perfect, on the other hand we have the Rockets, my AAA hockey team the summer before sixth grade. It was made up of players from the La Crosse area who played and practiced together every summer for the last few years. We weren’t exactly the most organized team in the sense of having professional attitudes. The ceiling at our practice arena had leaks…
How can working 3rd shift cause more health issues for women than men working 2nd shift? That is a great question to ask. Is it because the lack of sleep which causes sleep deprivation or because the mind needs ample time to recharge Is it because, effects of sleep deprivation between shifts depending on whether they have adjusted to the shift over time? Is it because sleeping too little or sleeping “against” your body’s natural biological clock could increase the likelihood of developing…
