aware of this, to protect their students and staff. If a child needs help, it should be the communities job to help them, wherever needed. I have learned that interdisciplinarity is more than just how we look at a problem, but how we solve it too. There is another perspective that is worth listening to, and incorporating. Interdisciplinarity, can help us solve a lot of problems because it teaches us to be humble and how to bring ideas and people
It is a fact that the amount of water in our planet is enormous with 1,404 million km3 in total and it is vital element in which all the living processes occur (Breu, et al., 2008). Thus, it is necessary to strengthen our efforts for a powerful confrontation of water issues worldwide. Water issues are related with problems about the acceptable status (e.g. infringement of the environmental standards of chemical substances), management and utilization of water in different human activities. One of
academic flexibility and confidence. Throughout the next four years, I want to immerse myself in intellectual realms that I currently may have no knowledge of. Since the academic opportunities at the College of Arts and Sciences heavily rely on interdisciplinarity and a balance of breadth and depth, my studies here will fulfill my desire for a heightened appreciation of the world and our place in it. Penn’s One University policy will also prove essential for me, as I will eventually want to expand my

HCV is currently affecting millions of individuals who have no idea they have the disease. With a multi-disciplinary team who is dedicated to their jobs and successful in monitoring patients currently on treatment, the relapse rate is minimal and medication
The education world is constantly evolving with the introduction of new strategies and content. With the constant changes, some things that are introduced enhance students learning, while some may not. One of the newer strategies that has begun to be used by many professionals in the education field is curriculum integration. Shoemaker defined integrated curriculum as, “….. education that is organized in such a way that it cuts across subject-matter lines, bringing together various aspects of the
The Integrated health care is an approach of interdisciplinary of collaboration and communication among health professionals. The characteristic is unique because of the sharing information which in the team members and related to patient care to establishment of treatment whether biological, psychological, and social needs.

A report by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) introduced five core competencies for health professionals: provide patient-centered care, work in interdisciplinary teams, employ evidence-based practice, apply quality improvement, and utilize informatics (Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, 2003). The objective of the report was to improve the United States health care system. IOM proposes that if all five core competencies are utilized by health professionals, quality patient care can be
Living in India gave me ample opportunity to taste diversity in myriad ways. I lived a traveler’s life because my father was in the Air Force, which required us to constantly change cities. I have changed half a dozen schools before finally, graduating. This remains a fond and vivid experience where I lived with people from diverse cultural backgrounds ranging from the Kannada Brahmins of Southern India to the tribal people of Nagaland in Far East. Adventure sports in the Himalayan range coupled
Learning how to write in the correct discipline is a necessity for any student wishing to successfully advance within their career. Patricia Linton, Robert Madigan, and Susan Johnson, professors at the University of Alaska, Anchorage, in their essay “Introducing Students to Disciplinary Genres: The Role of the General Composition Course” (1994), argues that undergraduate students who are enrolled in English classes that explore different disciplinary genres benefit more than students who are enrolled
Teachers generally look for teaching strategies to implement into their classes that will engage their students while also setting high expectations and standards for lessons. Engaging lessons captivate students’ attention, motivates them to learn, and allows students to collaborate with each other. Research has concluded integrated curriculum engage students in learning. The integrated curriculum is an interdisciplinary approach that links different disciplines together (Martin, Colleen, &
The topic for my thesis hasn’t really been finalized, but I do know that it would be related to physician engagement and interdisciplinary rounds. For the purpose of this exercise, I thought I would concentrate on Interdisciplinary Rounds(IDR) as it has several aspects that dovetail into physician engagement. IDR is often confused with multidisciplinary rounds and merits a definition and its difference from multidisciplinary rounds highlighted. The best definition of IDR is where an “interdisciplinary
Given the complexity of healthcare system today, effective and efficient collaboration and communication among team members is critical to ensure patient safety. Daniel & Rosentein (2008) reported that during a typical patient’s hospital stay, a patient may interact with 50 different employees that may include doctors, nurses, laboratory technicians, etc. They also reported that when healthcare professional are not communicating and collaborating effectively, patient safety is at risk for several
Women are grossly underrepresented in scientific fields. Why is that? What can women contribute to science, and what can people do to help them? There are many reasons women might not choose a science-related career, but science needs them. The increased involvement of women in science can add a new level of diversity to scientific research, since women, having slightly different brains, tend to lean toward more qualitative research styles, and do more interdisciplinary research, the type of research
and communication technologies over the past decade, particularly the growth of the Internet, the World Wide Web (Web), and email, have had an impact on how scholarship is conducted and are re-defining many aspects of scholarly communication. Interdisciplinarity, collaboration, and disintermediation are three aspects of scholarly communication that are on the increase as a result of the advancement of information and communication technology. The trend towards increased interdisciplinary and collaborative
in others is one of the reasons why I am interested in attending this program. My focus of studies may not be specifically on public health, but I am incredibly curious about the field and the positive mark that it leaves on the world. The interdisciplinarity of the Honors Program is what ultimately drew me to apply. I desire a well-rounded education that does not limit my learning, which is why studying something new and exciting on a continent that I have never been to is so appealing. The hands-on
must only look at the design team to see the physical interdisciplinary manifestation: landscape architect James Corner, architects Diller, Scofidio and Renfro, artist Olafur Eliasson, and garden designer Piet Oudolf. They incorporated their interdisciplinarity into the project, stating, “Our strategy of agri-tecture combines organic and building materials into a blend of changing proportions that accommodates the wild, the cultivated, the intimate, and the hyper-social.” The High Line’s formation
Barolo and Dante’s Inferno The late architect Professor Sir Edmund Happold wrote, “A world which sees art and engineering as divided is not seeing the world as a whole” (Sharpe). With these words he recognized and articulated the importance of interdisciplinarity in regards to art and architecture. When the enduring nature of a literary work combines with the durability of buildings, an even more lasting permanence comes into being. Through an inspired architectural design, Dante Alighieri’s timeless
when the national average was 397 per 100,000 (Elliott, 2018). Without consensus, change is a difficult achievement. America may be on the brink of change, and by insisting that every component of our systems considers the best interest of all, then the best possible outcome can be achieved. Conclusions America has little tolerance for crime or for offender improvement. Most significantly, incarceration increases the likelihood of reoffending and does not prohibit, deter or lessen the possibility
Recidivism impacts every prison system in the country. It is relevant because it is considered normal. There seems to be no expectation of society to ensure offenders come out better than they go in. Criminal Justice must strive to improve society, the victim as well as the perpetrator. The originality of this paper will serve to ask the criminal justice system to focus on remedies that will reduce recidivism. Understanding the components that led to criminality and then by reducing the associated
What Is Integrative Studies one may ask? There are so many definitions for integrative studies. Dr. Tanner define as “Integrative learning is a method by which one can synthesize or bring together multiple contexts as a way to apply interdisciplinarity to complex problems or situations.( p 24)” But here is how I define integrative studies, it is an umbrella term for structures, strategies, and activities that bridge numerous divides, such as high school and college, general education and the major
