Studying the Geographical explorations of the Portuguese and the Spanish in the 15th century
Get PDFThis article explores the dynamics of domination and subordination during the mid-15th century, marked by the Arab and Ottoman Empire's dominance in the Middle East, posing obstacles to European relations with China and India. In response, Western European nations, particularly Portugal and Spain, emerged as leaders in exploration, seeking alternative routes to bypass the challenges of the Middle East. Liberated from Muslim influence, these nations focused their efforts on discovering new sea routes to India and beyond. The narrative centers on Portuguese sailor Henry's role in planning expeditions to the Canary Islands, aiming to identify novel commercial routes for Portugal's development in Africa. Subsequently, the Spanish, influenced by Portugal's efforts, discovered new lands by employing Christopher Columbus. Columbus initially proposed his plan, 'The Way to India,' to the King of Portugal, but it was rejected. Turning to Spain in 1484, he secured the Queen's consent with the help of his shipbuilder brother, ultimately discovering America. Employing a descriptive-analytical research method, this article utilizes library research to delve into the historical background and explore the intricacies of European exploration during this transformative period

TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP, TRAITS, AND COMPETENCIES OF NURSING STUDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSING
Get PDFThe transformational leadership attributes and leadership traits of nursing students are essential components in their competency development in Community Health Nursing. The study explored the level of transformational leadership and leadership traits of nursing students in relation to their level of competency in Community Health Nursing. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design. 175 Level Two Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students were chosen as respondents through purposive sampling. The researcher utilized Mean, Standard Deviation, Frequency, Percentage, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient in the data analysis. Results revealed that the nursing students possessed high transformational leadership attributes and skills, leadership traits, and have a fair competency in their Community Health Nursing clinical exposure. Among the six constructs of transformational leadership, only delegation showed a highly influential relationship with competency. Meanwhile, no leadership trait manifested to correlate with nursing students’ competency at present. The study implies that nursing students with high transformational leadership attributes and high leadership traits will be future successful nurse leaders. Moreover, delegation skill is the key to becoming a competent leader and thus it is important to be introduced to nursing students even at their entry into the baccalaureate nursing education. This study also suggests that nursing educators ensure that they provide high-quality undergraduate nursing education, as this is vital in developing transformational leadership skills and improving leadership traits needed to produce competent nursing graduates who are well-equipped to work in the community setting.

Orations and the Didactic Motifs of Elizabethan Progresses
Get PDFMemorializing Queen Elizabeth’s progresses and their pageantry from the middle-to-late sixteenth through the early seventeenth centuries requires that we examine how her royalty was represented in Medievalist art and prose. Ceremonial displays of Elizabeth’s aristocratic nobility included prayers, sermons, tribute tracts and ballads, sonnets, verse poems, personal letters, and brilliant speeches just to name a few of the major literary mediums. As Roy Strong wrote about in The Cult of Elizabeth, images were meant to be read, and the inscriptions placed on miniatures and portraits emphasized the significance of details in paintings. It became clear through the diverse speeches given at the Queen’s hosted lodgings at various English cities that evoking as much symbolism one could in writing and reading would endear Elizabeth’s pleasure, but it was not the only way of getting the Queen’s attention. Gift-giving was a favorite practice. As such, creative symbolism and objects of devotion needed other means of demonstration, and this had especially shown up in literary motifs and mythology. In this paper, I argue that historians must recognize the ways orations and speeches worked as publicized letters during the pageantry of Elizabeth, making her court’s progresses a means of political, social, and religious negotiations with representations of empire. These verbal acts of negotiation supplanted private relationships that predominated pre-Reformation England and made Elizabeth’s Tudor, imperial authority over church and state more visceral in uniting ceremonial practices and promoting England
