The diagnosis was: broken fibula. “You will have to undergo a surgical intervention”, said the traumatologist after an unfortunate Football game. A few titanium cloves were the beginning of what it would be a long season of home working. And while I was -compulsorily- practicing this work dynamic, I began to think about the benefits and drawbacks for both, workers and companies. That’ s why I decided to write this blog post and share the experience with all of you. Having this in mind, I´ll start by clarifying that I´m a staunch defender of the conditions that favor autonomy and flexibility at work and thanks to the technological advances, nowadays we can enjoy some benefits like the flexibility I have mentioned before. There are so many …show more content…
And it´s just that I´ve also experienced myself, that gaining efficiency in home working, involves certain conditions that may not exist in all cases. First of all, it requires a lot of discipline by the home worker. Sometimes, the fact of not being immersed in a work environment may contribute to the lack of attention, action and reaction to some situations. In addition, it is essential to apply this same discipline when working time is over because we may end up working longer hours than usual, just because we don´t have the ability to separate personal from working time. I can´t ignore the key factor that this kind of work dynamic contributes to a sedentary lifestyle: as we do not need to move, we exercise much less. Besides, the lack of participation and integration with the teams in the office can even affect growth prospects and employees’ promotion chances. It is a fact that the new communication technologies have enabled to remotely connect with members of the organization, but it happens sometimes that not being in the same physical space can give us the feeling that we can´t defend our ideas with the same emphasis as if we were there. The idea of face to face interaction is essential at this
Face-to-face communication contribute to the successfully communication as well. Rick et al. (2009) found that because face-to-face communication is produced in real time, speakers have direct feedback on how their message is being understood as it is being delivered. In our discussion group, our entire group members insist of having group meeting in campus everyday contributed to the success of the discussion most. Face-to-face communication is able to make sure that each of us merely focuses on our discussion in the particular time. Despite the fact that face to face communication
The femur is the only bone in the thigh. Being the longest and strongest bone in the body the femur extends from the hip to the knee. Some important key features of the bone includes, the head, medial and lateral condyles, patellar surface, medial and lateral epicondyles, and greater and lesser trochanters. The head of the bone is where it forms the hip joint with the innominate bone. The Femur can resist forces of 1,800 to 2,500 pounds, not an easy fracture. A break in the bone is more than likely a result from such a large amount of force like a car accident or a high height. These types of injuries take anywhere from three to six months to heal. Surgery is usually how they fix a broken femur. A Surgeon will perform surgery and insert a rod
Serum N-terminal propeptide of type 1 collagen (P1NP) in Elderly Patients with Hip Fracture: Relationship with Sociodemographic and Clinical Characteristics, Other Parameters of Bone and Mineral Metabolism, and Short-term Outcomes
Thank you for your informative discussion here. I agree on your statements that scaphoid bone fracture is more common among carpal bone fractures. According to Boles et al., scaphoid bone fracture accounts 71% of all carpal bone fractures (2015). The most commonly seen in the age group of 15-60year of age male individuals, moreover, 5-12% scaphoid bone fracture related to other injury and 1% have bilateral involvements (Boles, 2015). Most common carpal instability pattern is scaphoidlunate dissociation, first radiographic sign suggest instability. Radiographic evaluation of scaphoid fracture begins with conventional radiography, moreover advance diagnostic tests as CT scan and MRI have been used in follow up or in some initial visit (Boles,
A fracture, simply, is a disruption or break in the continuity of the structure of a bone. It may be caused by diverse direct or indirect factors, pathologic, or idiopathic. Hypertension, on the other hand, is defined as a persistent systolic blood pressure above 140 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure above 90 mmHg. Hypertension is caused by a wide range of risk factor, and can be categorized as primary or secondary. Lastly, diabetes mellitus is defined as a long-term multisystem disease related to atypical insulin production, impaired uptake, or both. Specifically, type 2, or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, the body produces insulin but it sometimes inadequate or may be poorly used by the tissues. (Lewis, 2010) As a whole, the significance and impact of the fracture in relation with the patient’s DM2 and hypertension will be discussed.
In June of 2008, I was a happy five year old running around the park at my summer care Good Shepherd. It was a normal day we did all of our morning activities, ate lunch, then went outside to play. I was running around, and suddenly I tripped and fell. I landed in a really wrong way. The teachers ran over, and took me to the office, and I waited for my mom to pick me up in tears. It was going to be a long day.
Face-to-face discussions are the foundation of human communication; once established, it allows us to build trust, clearly articulate our ideas and minimize misunderstanding.
Over the last 40 years, technology to improve productivity in the workplace has improved so much that an employee can be reached almost anywhere at anytime to answer or solve any problem. However, rather than allowing employees to work less and be truly productive, most workplaces place their value on the 40 hour week rather than generating results in a timely fashion, on time. The result is more employee burn out, turn over in the work force and reduced productivity, even with all these time saving technologies. From the US government to Best Buy, there is a movement to get away from
The second injury was much worse in nature. During the fall of 2014, I was a sophomore at Perry High School. I was the starting tight end on the varsity football team. On October 17, 2014 we played a cross city rival Veterans High School. At the time, we were competing for a playoff spot.
The next reason to why working in an office is better than at home is because it’s easier to communicate with colleagues. Some people are anti-socialist so they would do good at home but it’s always an advantage because you get to meet with someone and so you have a better interaction with your co-partners. According to Work It Daily, when working at home, your boss will send you information through email and then you would

Therefore, the absence of these elements can influence negatively on the team performance and develop a potential conflict.
Moreover people are working less than eight hours and day and 40 hours a week because of down time (Mahoney 31). As we move further into the technological age the need for an alternative work schedule is greater and more easily achieved. There are many options for alternative work schedules but the most common proposals for a change in work schedules are the compressed work week and the flex-time schedules (Mahoney 31). A compressed work week is a four-day/40 hours work week; there is also the option of a four-day/32 hours work week however this is less common due to the problem of reduced salary. A flex-time schedule maintains the 40-hour work week and at times the eight-hour workday but allows the employee the flexibility of arranging their own working hours during the day (Henderson 127). As the shift to the alternative work schedule becomes more and more obvious starting with telecommuting which is also known as working from home, we see more and more organizations implement flexible work schedules and arrangements to appeal to the greater work force (Hayman 76). The advantages of this arrangement are plenty but it also raises concerns regarding the income and productivity of the organization.
Nowadays, a lot of housewife who do their work from home. The number of housewife who prefers to work from home is increasing. Either it is a part time job or a full time job. Maybe it is because of there are many chances in the market. They can also set up the environment same as office from home easily. In this essay, I will discuss about the advantage and disadvantage of working at home and propose my personal opinion.
