Ocean Acidification
This article from the Environmental News Network caught my attention because I rarely hear
about the oceanic events beyond comments concerning the ocean's temperature. The article
draws attention to the acidification of the ocean that occurs when the waters absorb carbon
dioxide. In history, the ocean's pH balance changed with pollutant CO2, but the rate and amount
of change was less than current increases. If the rate of pollution continues, calcifiers already
struggling may go extinct as some species did in historically when the chemical changes were
less dramatic. This item relates directly to what we covered in Chapter 7.

Ocean Salinity and Climate Change
NASA is taking an expedition to the saltiest part of the North Atlantic to study how the saltiness
of the ocean relates to climate change as a part of their Salinity Processes in the Upper Ocean
Regional Study (SPURS). I find this interesting because biologists already use pH as a
measurement of health for aquatic biomes, why not test salt-to-water variation to view oceanic
changes? This voyage will increase knowledge of the acceleration of the Earth's water cycle.
Oceanographers claim that the ocean records rainfall better than landmasses and translates these
fluctuations in to salinity changes. Along with recording new salinity levels, the researchers are
delving into the drivers of these changes. Hopefully, the results of the SPURS expedition will
yield information that helps studies of other areas with major salinity changes and how they will
affect the water cycle in surrounding areas. This topic relates to material in Chapter 11.

Changes in Arctic Winds
According to a study by "scientists from Rutgers University in New Jersey, the University of
Sheffield in the United Kingdom, and the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and
Ocean, a partnership of NOAA and the University of Washington.", Arctic winds that normally
travel west to east circulating the cold air are now moving south to north. This change further
warms the Arctic from the warmer air currents. Since 2007, the air currents from the south are
increasing contributing the record ice loss this summer. The article caught my eye because the
change in air currents and their immediate results of ice loss will dramatically affect the Northern
hemisphere causing drastic climate changes. This topic relates to what we covered in Chapter 5.

Assignment Application Adoption of New Technology SystemsAs a nu.docxMatthewTennant613
Assignment: Application: Adoption of New Technology Systems
As a nurse, you can have a great impact on the success or failure of the adoption of EHRs. It is important for nurses to understand their role as change agents and the ways they can influence others when addressing the challenges of changing to a drastically different way of doing things.
Everett Rogers, a pioneer in the field of the diffusion of innovations, identified five qualities that determine individual attitudes towards adopting new technology (2003). He theorized that individuals are concerned with:
Relative advantage: The individual adopting the new innovation must see how it will be an improvement over the old way of doing things.
Compatibility with existing values and practices: The adopter must understand how the new innovation aligns with current practices.
Simplicity: The adopter must believe he or she can easily master the new technology; the more difficult learning the new system appears, the greater the resistance that will occur.
Trialability: The adopter should have the opportunity to “play around’ with the new technology and explore its capabilities.
Observable results: The adopter must have evidence that the proposed innovation has been successful in other situations.
Note:
You are not required to purchase Rogers’ book or pursue further information regarding his list of five qualities. The information provided here is sufficient to complete this Assignment. The full reference for Rogers’ work is provided below the due date on this page.
For this Assignment, you assume the role of a nurse facilitator in a small hospital in upstate New York. You have been part of a team preparing for the implementation of a new electronic health records system. Decisions as to the program that will be used have been finalized, and you are now tasked with preparing the nurses for the new system. There has been an undercurrent of resistance expressed by nurses, and you must respond to their concerns. You have a meeting scheduled with the nurses 1 week prior to the training on the new EHR system. Consider how you can use the five qualities outlined by Rogers (2003) to assist in preparing the nurses for the upcoming implementation.
To prepare

Assignment Adaptive ResponseAs an advanced practice nurse, you wi.docxMatthewTennant613
Assignment: Adaptive Response
As an advanced practice nurse, you will examine patients presenting with a variety of disorders. You must, therefore, understand how the body normally functions so that you can identify when it is reacting to changes. Often, when changes occur in body systems, the body reacts with compensatory mechanisms. These compensatory mechanisms, such as adaptive responses, might be signs and symptoms of alterations or underlying disorders. In the clinical setting, you use these responses, along with other patient factors, to lead you to a diagnosis.
Consider the following scenarios:
Scenario 1:
Jennifer is a 2-year-old female who presents with her mother. Mom is concerned because Jennifer has been “running a temperature” for the last 3 days. Mom says that Jennifer is usually healthy and has no significant medical history. She was in her usual state of good health until 3 days ago when she started to get fussy, would not eat her breakfast, and would not sit still for her favorite television cartoon. Since then she has had a fever off and on, anywhere between 101oF and today’s high of 103.2oF. Mom has been giving her ibuprofen, but when the fever went up to 103.2oF today, she felt that she should come in for evaluation. A physical examination reveals a height and
weight
appropriate 2-year-old female who appears acutely unwell. Her skin is hot and dry. The tympanic membranes are slightly reddened on the periphery, but otherwise normal in appearance. The throat is erythematous with 4+ tonsils and diffuse exudates. Anterior cervical nodes are readily palpable and clearly tender to touch on the left side. The child indicates that her throat hurts “a lot” and it is painful to swallow. Vital signs reveal a temperature of 102.8oF, a pulse of 128 beats per minute, and a respiratory rate of 24 beats per minute.
Scenario 2:
Jack is a 27-year-old male who presents with redness and irritation of his hands. He reports that he has never had a problem like this before, but about 2 weeks ago he noticed that both his hands seemed to be really red and flaky. He denies any discomfort, stating that sometimes they feel “a little bit hot,” but otherwise they feel fine. He does not understand why they are so red. His wife told him that he might have an allergy and he should get some steroid cream. Jack has no known allergies and no significant medical history except for recurrent ear infections as a child. He denies any traumatic injury or known exposure to irritants. He is a maintenance engineer in a newspaper building and admits that he often works with abrasive solvents and chemicals. Normally he wears protective gloves, but
lately
they seem to be in short supply so sometimes he does not use them. He has exposed his hands to some of these cleaning
fluids,
but says that it never hurt and he always washed his hands when he was finished.
Scenario 3:
Martha is a 65-year-old woman who recently retired from her job as an administrative assista.

Assignment 3 Understanding the Prevalence of Community PolicingAs.docxMatthewTennant613
Assignment 3: Understanding the Prevalence of Community Policing
As a backlash, the professional model, which reflects a "we are the experts and you are not" attitude, alienated the police from the public. Problems and crime kept growing, and people wanted to be more involved in their communities. Therefore, community members started to work closely with the police. The police saw their resources diminish and decided it was critical to engage the communities to more effectively combat rising crime.
Today, the vast majority of law enforcement agencies state that they subscribe to the community policing philosophy. The implementation of the philosophy is varied, but most agencies acknowledge the value of having a positive working relationship within the community.
Thus, it is important to understand the history of modern policing to comprehend some possible conclusions as to why agencies began adopting the community policing philosophy.
Tasks:
Prepare a three to four page report answering the following questions.
What are the main reasons for the majority of US law enforcement agencies to adopt the community policing philosophy?
What is the most important aspect of community policing that is attractive to the community?
What is the most important aspect of community policing that is attractive to the police?
What aspects of prior policing models are not acceptable in today's communities?
Note
: Use at least three scholarly sources, with at least one source that is not part of the assigned readings. Include a separate page at the end of the report, in APA format, that links back to your in-text citations and supports your recommendations.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
