Central place theory

Christaller's Central Place Theory Introduction Central Place Theory (CPT) is an attempt to explain the spatial arrangement, size, and number of settlements. The theory was originally published in 1933 by a German geographer Walter Christaller who studied the settlement patterns in southern Germany. In the flat landscape of southern Germany Christaller noticed that towns of a certain size were roughly equidistant. By examining and defining the functions of the settlement structure and the size of

people are willing to travel to use a service. Range is applied to the central place theory in the way that, larger cities are farther apart and offer services with high ranges. While smaller cities, which are closer to each other, offer only services with small ranges. 1b) Threshold is defined as, the minimum number of people needed in a settlement before a good or service will appear there. Threshold affects the central place theory because, the larger cities have all of the goods and services available

Central Coherence: Is it a single construct, with a relationship to mentalising? The past 20 years has seen much interest in the development of cognitive profiles and mentalising ability, particularly in how they may account for some characteristics of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Two of the most influential theories to date are: (i) Weak Central Coherence theory (WCC), which posits that those with WCC focus on detailed (local) features and fail to apply a global context in understanding their

Nursing care through theory has continual made changes to provide the best care for patients across the spectrum. From nursing models, to concepts, to evidence based practices that have stemmed from theories, nursing care advances have come a long way. Theories have been the fundaments of nursing to help nurses provide efficient care through structure , unity , assessing, planning, and implementing interventions (White & Zaccagnini, 2014).This paper will discuss how theories have guided patient centered

expand in manufactures. Thus, factories began to be developed and as a result, it provided civilians with job opportunities. As the years progressed, cities expanded in two different methods. One method in how it expanded was by the Concentric Zone Theory. According to Burgess, cities that in this zone expand outward in form of rings. Burgess states that the closest zones to the origin are zone that is made up of labor workers and immigrants. In contrast to zone located furthest from the origin.

APPLICATION OF NURSING THEORY TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: THE SELF-CARE MODEL OF DOROTHEA OREM Introduction The purpose of this paper is to discuss the application of Dorothea Orem’s Self-Care Model of Nursing to clinical nurse practice. The central thesis of the paper is that Orem’s theory has strong utility for application to modern day clinical practice and can be applied to most any case in order to attain the desired medical and caring outcomes. The presented discussion will support this perspective

Crime choice theory, often referred to as environmental criminology or ecological criminology, is a branch of criminology that was supposedly started by the classical school’s Cesare Beccaria. As with many theories, it has evolved with time, but the basics of it have stayed much the same throughout time. Crime choice theory can relate through other theories such as; routine activity theory, environmental criminology, situational crime prevention and crime prevention through environmental design.

PK theory challenged monetarism’s description of the money supply process. The focus of PK endogenous money theory is the mechanics of the money supply process. PK theory is itself divided between “horizontalist” and “structuralist” approaches to the money supply. Horizontalists believe the behavior of financial institutions is unconstrained by the availability of liquidity (reserves) provided by the central bank and the supply-price of finance to banks is fixed at a price set by the central bank

Concepts Central to the Discipline of Nursing In order to critically examine the concepts central to the discipline of nursing it is important to clarify my understanding of what constitutes a discipline. Nursing literature has led me to understand that a discipline can be, in simple terms, thought of as a field of study with a unique perspective which gives rise to the nature and scope of inquiry of that field and therefore leads to a specialized body of knowledge (Parker, M & Smith, M, 2010).

Heaven and Earth. Because the palace physically remains on earth but spiritually resides within heaven, the palace acts as communal place for believers to gather. The bas-reliefs and pictures did not only serve to decorate the palaces, or depict stories of the past. They hold the important task of transforming the palace into a “celestial dwelling” or heavenly place. Further evidence to support this notion is
