Altered States of Awareness01:06

Altered States of Awareness

575
Altered states of consciousness represent significant deviations from one's normal mental state. These deviations can range from subtle changes in awareness to profound transformations in perception, thought processes, and sensory experiences. Altered states of consciousness can be triggered by various factors, including drug use, meditation, hypnosis, illness, or even intense fatigue.
The ingestion of substances like stimulants or hallucinogens leads to chemical alterations in the brain...

Latitudes and Departures01:27

Latitudes and Departures

302
Latitudes and departures are essential concepts in surveying, providing a systematic way to analyze the projections of traverse lines. These projections allow surveyors to interpret a line's north-south and east-west components, which are crucial for precisely calculating areas, bearings, and lengths. Latitude is the north-south projection of a line, calculated as the product of the line's length and the cosine of its bearing. Departure, conversely, is the east-west projection obtained by...

Azimuths and Bearings

260
Azimuths and bearings are essential concepts in surveying, providing methods to express the direction of a line relative to a meridian. Azimuths refer to the clockwise angle measured from the north end of a reference meridian to the given line, ranging from zero to 360 degrees. This method gives a comprehensive directional reference within a full 360-degree circle, making it a straightforward way to communicate direction in various fields, including navigation, cartography, and...

Meridians01:28

Meridians

552
In surveying, meridians are vital reference lines to measure directions and establish accurate land orientations. Meridians run from the north to the south poles, providing a stable framework for angular measurements and mapping. Meridians are fundamental in survey design, with the primary types being astronomic, magnetic, and assumed meridians. Each type offers distinct benefits and limitations, selected based on the project's scale and precision needs.The astronomic meridian is aligned with...

The Looking Glass Self01:28

The Looking Glass Self

40
The concept of the looking-glass self describes how an individual's self-concept is shaped by their perception of how others see them. This psychological theory, first introduced by sociologist Charles Horton Cooley in 1902, posits that self-identity emerges in a social context and is influenced by the judgments—real or imagined—of others.Research suggests that individuals frequently overestimate how positively others perceive them. This is particularly evident in physical...

Reflection of Waves01:07

Reflection of Waves

4.0K
When a wave travels from one medium to another, it gets reflected at the boundary of the second medium. A common example of this is when a person yells at a distance from a cliff and hears the echo of their voice. The sound waves (longitudinal waves) traveling in the air are reflected from the bounding cliff. Similarly, flipping one end of a string whose other end is tied to a wall causes a pulse (transverse wave) to travel through the string, which gets reflected upon reaching the wall. In...

Summary

Professional nursing associations in Canada face challenges due to declining membership models. A unified, pan-Canadian association is proposed for fiscal sustainability and stronger representation of all nurses.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Health Policy
  • Organizational Studies

Background:

  • Professional nursing associations in Canada historically relied on established membership models.
  • Recent decades have seen increased instability, threatening the existence of these institutions.
  • Erosion of traditional membership structures has created unease within the nursing profession.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify factors contributing to the decline of historic nursing membership models in Canada.
  • To analyze the fiscal sustainability of current jurisdictional representation models.
  • To propose principles for a unified, pan-Canadian professional nursing association.

Main Methods:

  • This commentary analyzes trends in professional nursing association membership in Canada.
  • It examines the financial implications of voluntary membership models.
  • It synthesizes arguments for a new, cohesive national association structure.

Main Results:

  • Historic membership models, once the foundation of nursing representation, are eroding.
  • Current jurisdictional representation models are not fiscally sustainable in an all-voluntary system.
  • A shift towards a unified national association is suggested as a viable alternative.

Conclusions:

  • Clinging to outdated, jurisdiction-based membership models is fiscally unsustainable for nursing associations.
  • A strong, united, pan-Canadian professional association is essential for the future of nursing representation in Canada.
  • Adopting new principles can foster a more robust and inclusive professional body for all Canadian nurses.
