Theme one is to identify the types of cultures or models of cultures and how they work or fit within an organization
Learning Activity #1
Using your reading material create a chart that describes the type, characteristics of the culture, associated values that would be important to keep the culture alive, and kinds of organizations structures that work best for culture. Compare and contrast them in your explanation of the chart. For instance what culture might work for Joe at the new sawmill and then which one might work at Purvis' shoe company.
Theme two: How to Create, Change, and Align Culture to the Structure and Vision.
Organizational Structure
Preface:
A leader’s job is to create the direction for the company to move forward. The leader does this in steps. Here are the steps of the process:
First, the leader designs the vision and mission for the company and second, the leader must establish an organizational structure which promotes the vision, mission and empowers the employees to keep the forward movement in the organization.
In creating the structure various factors must be considered.
· First and foremost is the purpose of the company or organization. What type of structure will best accomplish that goal? Certainly a company like UPS needs a somewhat rigid structure that is set up to focus on procedure and time sensitivity. Since UPS has as its goal to get the correct parcels to the right customers in the fastest way possible, variance in procedures or ways of accomplishing the tasks would never work. A tight delineated structure is imperative.
· Along with the purpose the leader must look at the vision of the organization. Where does the leader want the organization to go? How best can the structure provide for the future? Will the vision call for expansion into other countries or simply call for product development changes? Do you plan a struct ...

Should Transportation Security Officers Be Armed?
It is the opinion of this writer that Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) should not be
armed. It is my intent to illustrate that point in this paper. During my research I will weigh the
advantages and disadvantages of arming TSOs, examining each side of the argument. I will also
offer a potential solution that while costly will still prove to be less costly than arming TSOs.
What has led to this discussion? For a majority of our society it takes years and certain
events to take place in our lives for change to occur. Those events include graduating High
School/College, getting married, or having children. In a matter of only five short minutes on
the morning of November 1st, 2013, some individual’s lives changed forever. On that morning
Paul Anthony Ciancia, age 23, opened fire in Terminal 3 of the Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX). His senseless acts killed a TSO, while injuring six other individuals. The
shooting has been debated over and over again on whether it is a terrorist act or not. The
activities before, during, and after the shooting will show the acts were certainly a terrorist
attack. But more importantly could any deaths or injuries have been avoided if the TSOs were
armed? These is the question that will continue to be debated and one that will be addressed in
this paper.
Synopsis of the event that led up to this argument:
Shortly after being dropped off at the airport by his roommate, Paul Ciancia pulled out a
rifle and began opening fire. He was carrying luggage that was filled with a semiautomatic .223
caliber Smith & Wesson M&P-15 rifle, five 30-round magazines, and hundreds of additional
rounds of ammunition ("Lax shooting suspect," 2013). Walking up to the TSA checkpoint,
Ciancia pulled out a rifle and opened fire hitting TSO Gerardo Hernandez in the chest. Ciancia

then apparently moved into the screening area where he continued to fire striking two other
TSOs and a male citizen. According to eye witnesses, Ciancia continually asked civilians if they
were TSA officers, when they said “no” he moved on without shooting them ("Lax shooting:
Latest," 2013). Ciancia made it as far as the food court some five minutes after the first shots
were fired. He was then surrounded by LAX police officers who engaged him in a gunfight.
Shortly after the gunfight ended Ciancia was taken into custody where he had to be transported
to a nearby trauma hospital for gunshot wounds (Abdollah, 2013).
In total eight individuals had to be treated at the scene. Four victims were treated for
gunshot wounds, while the others were treated for other injuries ("6 hospitalized after," 2013).
The sole suspect Paul Ciancia was carrying a note on him that stated he “wanted to kill TSA”
and describe them as “pigs”, the note also mentioned “fiat currency” and “NWO” ("Lax shooting

"Uncle Vanya"
“Man has been endowed with reason,
with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given.
But up to now, he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer.
Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up,
wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined,
and the land grows poorer and uglier”
The play “Uncle Vanya” written by Anton Chekhov is a pearl of the classics of Russian literature. Anton Chekhov left a great legacy in a form of his plays and short stories for the classics of world literature. Without a shadow of doubt, this masterpiece, written by one of the most prominent the Russian playwrights of his time, should be read with further analysis and discussion. “Uncle Vanya” is a realist play and Chekhov tried to make its scenes as true-to-life as possible. Chekhov spent one year writing “Uncle Vanya” and introduced a number of changes between the years 1896 – 1897. The final version of his play is famous worldwide. The plot of the play narrates a heartbreaking story of how the main hero, Ivan Petrovich Voynitsky or Uncle Vanya that was a rather calm and quiet man undergoes a moral “rebirth” developing a spirit of a rebellion. Uncle Vanya, the main hero of the play, can be characterized as a bitter aging man who spent his life in toil working for his brother-in-law. Chekhov depicted the character of uncle Vanya as a misanthrope who recognized the miserable nature of other characters.
Moreover, Chekhov’s play also involves a number of other important issues that are experienced by the play’s characters. These issues include the feeling of pointless life lacking meaning, missed opportunities, and the most touching feeling of blind admiration. It should be admitted that Chekhov used to create hidden meaning in his plays to make the readers think critically not only of his work but of their lives either. Therefore, in the play, Chekhov made every character individualistic. For instance, the central character in the play, Uncle Vanya, cares about patrimony and the Serebryakov’s family’s property. Throughout the play, uncle Vanya finds himself dismissed and rejected without the right for an opinion. Chekhov also pointed out the suffering of other characters who struggle to change their lives for better. The play consists of a number of personal dramas that are interconnected.
It can be stated that Chekhov included a number of opposite lines in his play such as the choice between obedience or riot, feeling of admiration and disrespect. The following lines from the play demonstrate the feeling of disappointment and understanding the pointlessness of a situation: “”I’m mad — but people who conceal their utter lack of talent, their dullness, their complete heartlessness under the guise of the professor, the purveyor of learned magic — they aren’t mad” (Uncle Vanya). Uncle Vanya is concerned about the wasted years and the thought of how his life could look like in case he used the opportun ...

then apparently moved into the screening area where he continued to fire striking two other
TSOs and a male citizen. According to eye witnesses, Ciancia continually asked civilians if they
were TSA officers, when they said “no” he moved on without shooting them ("Lax shooting:
Latest," 2013). Ciancia made it as far as the food court some five minutes after the first shots
were fired. He was then surrounded by LAX police officers who engaged him in a gunfight.
Shortly after the gunfight ended Ciancia was taken into custody where he had to be transported
to a nearby trauma hospital for gunshot wounds (Abdollah, 2013).
In total eight individuals had to be treated at the scene. Four victims were treated for
gunshot wounds, while the others were treated for other injuries ("6 hospitalized after," 2013).
The sole suspect Paul Ciancia was carrying a note on him that stated he “wanted to kill TSA”

"Uncle Vanya"
“Man has been endowed with reason,
with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given.
But up to now, he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer.
Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up,
wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined,
and the land grows poorer and uglier”
The play “Uncle Vanya” written by Anton Chekhov is a pearl of the classics of Russian literature. Anton Chekhov left a great legacy in a form of his plays and short stories for the classics of world literature. Without a shadow of doubt, this masterpiece, written by one of the most prominent the Russian playwrights of his time, should be read with further analysis and discussion. “Uncle Vanya” is a realist play and Chekhov tried to make its scenes as true-to-life as possible. Chekhov spent one year writing “Uncle Vanya” and introduced a number of changes between the years 1896 – 1897. The final version of his play is famous worldwide. The plot of the play narrates a heartbreaking story of how the main hero, Ivan Petrovich Voynitsky or Uncle Vanya that was a rather calm and quiet man undergoes a moral “rebirth” developing a spirit of a rebellion. Uncle Vanya, the main hero of the play, can be characterized as a bitter aging man who spent his life in toil working for his brother-in-law. Chekhov depicted the character of uncle Vanya as a misanthrope who recognized the miserable nature of other characters.
Moreover, Chekhov’s play also involves a number of other important issues that are experienced by the play’s characters. These issues include the feeling of pointless life lacking meaning, missed opportunities, and the most touching feeling of blind admiration. It should be admitted that Chekhov used to create hidden meaning in his plays to make the readers think critically not only of his work but of their lives either. Therefore, in the play, Chekhov made every character individualistic. For instance, the central character in the play, Uncle Vanya, cares about patrimony and the Serebryakov’s family’s property. Throughout the play, uncle Vanya finds himself dismissed and rejected without the right for an opinion. Chekhov also pointed out the suffering of other characters who struggle to change their lives for better. The play consists of a number of personal dramas that are interconnected.
It can be stated that Chekhov included a number of opposite lines in his play such as the choice between obedience or riot, feeling of admiration and disrespect. The following lines from the play demonstrate the feeling of disappointment and understanding the pointlessness of a situation: “”I’m mad — but people who conceal their utter lack of talent, their dullness, their complete heartlessness under the guise of the professor, the purveyor of learned magic — they aren’t mad” (Uncle Vanya). Uncle Vanya is concerned about the wasted years and the thought of how his life could look like in case he used the opportun ...

Overview: Financial Management Case Study
One of the important duties of a nurse leader is to manage personnel and personnel budgets. In this assignment, you will assume the role of a nurse manager. You will use given data to make important decisions regarding budgets and staffing.
Some nurse managers have computer spreadsheets or software applications to help them make decisions regarding budgets and staffing. You will only need simple mathematical operations* to perform the needed calculations in this assignment because the scenario has been simplified. Furthermore, some data have been provided for you that a nurse leader might need to gather or compute in a real setting. Still, you will get a glimpse of the complexity of responsibilities nurse leaders shoulder regarding financial management.
· To calculate the percent of the whole a given number represents, follow these steps:
Change the percentage to a decimal number by moving the decimal twice to the left (or dividing by 100).
Multiply the new decimal number by the whole.
Example: What is 30% of 70?
30%= .30; (.30) × 70 = 21
· To find out what percentage a number represents in relation to the whole, follow these steps:
Divide the number by the whole (usually the small number by the large number).
Change the decimal answer to percent by moving the decimal twice to the right (or multiplying by 100).
Example: What percent of 45 is 10?
10 ÷ 45 = .222; so, 10 is 22% of 45.
* You will only need addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Name:
Habitable Zones – Student Guide
Exercises
Please read through the background pages entitled Life, Circumstellar Habitable Zones, and The Galactic Habitable Zone before working on the exercises using simulations below.
Circumstellar Zones
Open the Circumstellar Zone Simulator. There are four main panels:
· The top panel simulation displays a visualization of a star and its planets looking down onto the plane of the solar system. The habitable zone is displayed for the particular star being simulated. One can click and drag either toward the star or away from it to change the scale being displayed.
· The General Settings panel provides two options for creating standards of reference in the top panel.
· The Star and Planets Setting and Properties panel allows one to display our own star system, several known star systems, or create your own star-planet combinations in the none-selected mode.
· The Timeline and Simulation Controls allows one to demonstrate the time evolution of the star system being displayed.
The simulation begins with our Sun being displayed as it was when it formed and a terrestrial planet at the position of Earth. One can change the planet’s distance from the Sun either by dragging it or using the planet distance slider.
Note that the appearance of the planet changes depending upon its location. It appears quite earth-like when inside the circumstellar habitable zone (hereafter CHZ). However, when it is dragged inside of the CHZ it becomes “desert-like” while outside it appears “frozen”.
Question 1: Drag the planet to the inner boundary of the CHZ and note this distance from the Sun. Then drag it to the outer boundary and note this value. Lastly, take the difference of these two figures to calculate the “width” of the sun’s primordial CHZ.
CHZ Inner Boundary
CHZ Outer Boundary
Width of CHZ
NAAP – Habitable Zones 1/7
Question 2: Let’s explore the width of the CHZ for other stars. Complete the table below for stars with a variety of masses.
Star Mass (M )
Star Luminosity (L )

CHZ Outer Boundary (AU)
Width of CHZ (AU)

4.0
8.0
15.0
Question 3: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the location of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Question 4: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the width of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Exploring Other Systems
Begin by selecting the system 51 Pegasi. This was the first planet discovered around a star using the radial velocity technique. This technique detects systematic shifts in the wavelengths of absorption lines in the star’s spectra over time due to the motion of the star around the star-planet center of mass. The planet orbiting 51 Pegasi has a mass of at least half Jupiter’s mass.
Question 5: Zoom out so that you can compare this planet to those in our solar system (you can click-hold-drag to change t ...

Hygiene Saves Lives
I. Intro: To give an informational speech about Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis
A) Attention getter – On each square centimeter of your skin, there are about 1,500
bacteria. That’s a lot of germs. According to a study conducted by Michigan State
University researchers, 95% of people do not properly wash their hands long enough to
kill the infection causing germs and bacteria (Jaslow, “95 Percent of People Wash Their
Hands Improperly: Are You One of Them?”).
B) Purpose Statement - That’s gross. While I can’t force you to wash your hands, perhaps
today I can help you realize just how much history and evidence is behind this crucial
bathroom ritual.
C) Thesis – Today, I will inform you all about Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis by discussing first
about his practice and studies, second about his scientific methods that saved a lot of
lives, and third about the germ theory we all take for granted.
II. BODY:
A) Main Point Number 1: To begin, I want to introduce Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis.
a) Ignaz Semmelweis became a physician and earned his doctorate degree in medicine
in 1844. This time period was known as the start of the golden age of the physician
scientist” (NPR.org). This means that doctors were expected to have scientific
training. Doctors were more interested in numbers and collecting data (Justin Lessler,
an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health).
b) In 1846, Dr. Semmelweis showed up for his new job in the maternity clinic at the
General Hospital in Vienna. Due to the time period, Dr. Semmelweis thought like a
physician scientist and wanted to figure out why so many women in maternity wards
were dying from childbed fever (Davis, “The Doctor Who Championed
Hand-Washing and Briefly Saved Lives”).
c) So what did he do? He collected data of his own. He studied two maternity wards in
the hospital. One was staffed by all male doctors and medical students, and the other
by female midwives. He tallied up the number of deaths in each ward and found that
women in the clinic staffed by doctors and medical students died at a rate 5 times ...

The document discusses the case of Terri Schiavo, who was in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years. It summarizes the key facts of her medical condition and diagnosis, the disagreement between her husband and parents about continuing life-sustaining treatment, and the multiple legal appeals involved in the case. It concludes that while both sides wanted what was right for Terri, the central issue is determining what the patient herself would have wanted, which the courts found clear evidence for in Terri's case based on prior statements to her husband.

This document summarizes a proposed change by a Little League commission to eliminate scoring in games. The commission believes this will reduce stress in children, but the summary argues that:
1) There is no evidence scoring causes stress, and children face stress from many sources unrelated to baseball.
2) Removing scoring upends decades of tradition and takes away important lessons about effort and reward for children.
3) Parents will likely oppose the change as it diminishes their experiences supporting and bonding with their children over the game.

Section I.Multiple Choice/True and False
1.
One of the central tenets of homeopathy is the (unfounded) assertion that water retains a "memory" of substances dissolved in it, even when the solution becomes so weak that no trace of the original substance is present. However, if we accept this hypothesis, then any quantity of tap water would have already acquired all the beneficial chemicals, and all the harmful ones too. This . . . scenario weakens the hypothesis of water memory.
This refutation is a(n)
a. reduction to the absurd
b. counterexample
c. appeal to countervailing evidence
d. post hoc
e. suppressio veri
The premises of this argument are dependent: “Dogs make better pets than cats. They’re smarter, more sociable, more loyal, and easier to train.”
True
False
2.
If we can show that any premise of an argument is false, that argument has been successfully refuted.
True
False
3.
We may have good reason to question the credibility of a source if
a. the source was not in a good position to judge accurately
b. the source has proven unreliable in the past
c. the issue is not one that can be settled by expert opinion
d. all of the above
4.
Showing that one of its crucial* premises is in principle unverifiable refutes (defeats) the argument
True
False
*Note: What Bassham titles a “critical” premise I am referring to as a “crucial premise”, because I want to avoid the ambiguity involved in the former expression (between “critical” as essential and “critical” as criticizing.)
5.
The premises of this argument are dependent: “Dogs make better pets than cats. They’re smarter, more sociable, more loyal, and easier to train.”
True
False
6.
The circumstance that a crucial premise is unsupported always renders an argument bad. (careful)
True

8
There are legitimate and important ways of criticizing an argument that still don’t contribute to refuting it.
True
False
A fuzzy argument can still be a good argument due to its intrinsic merits.

Nadya’shelpfultipsonwritinginScienceMicrobiology-.docx
Nadya’s helpful tips on writing in Science/Microbiology
-Primary, peer-reviewed sources come from scientific journals and often have
interesting background information relevant to the organism of interest. This is to
tell the reader why it is important. If you want lots of background information,
scientists often write review articles that go through the same peer-review as
papers on experiments on focusing on consolidating what the current and accepted
work is on the topic.
- Bacteria is the plural form of bacterium. If you are uncertain of its usage, try
replacing the noun with a word that you are a little more comfortable with such as
dog/dogs. Same goes for data being the plural of datum.
-When writing the scientific name of an organism, you will always write it out in
italics with the genus capitalized and the species name lower case (e.g. Bacillus
cereus). It is also acceptable that after you introduce a scientific name fully, to
abbreviate the genus to the first or second letter of the genus. For example:
“Bacillus thuringiensis is a bacterium often associated with soil microbial biomes…
B. thuringiensis was discovered to have entomopathogenic qualities in an
assortment of insect orders while being highly specific in its pathogenicity to only
insects.”
-Proofreading is your friend. It may feel like more work but having something that
is proofread goes a long way to helping the reader understand what you are saying
in a clear and concise way rather than leaving the reader feeling frustrated and
confused. While I don’t really grade on grammar and punctuation, if it is bad, it will
cost points on the assignment.
-Technology is helpful but communication is vital. While we use a lot of new
technology to help us be more productive in work and school, communication has
never been more vital. That being said, if you have a problem turning in your paper
on time due to technological difficulties, you need to communicate that to me as
soon as possible to avoid a late penalty. You have been warned.
-Lastly, while format doesn’t matter to me (every scientific journal or grant source
has their own format), having the right information in your citations is important. If
I can’t find your source when I’m checking them, how am I supposed to verify what
was said in your source? Common important items to include: author names, article
title, journal name, issue and volume, and url (if collected from the web). Web of
knowledge/science is a great way to search journal articles if on campus as our
school has a subscription to most journals and all of them are moving to electronic
copies rather than paper.
If you have questions on any of these tips, don’t hesitate to ask me!

4 - PRELIMINARY DATA SCREENING
4.1 Introduction: Problems in Real Data
Real datasets often contain errors, inconsistencies in responses or measurements, outliers, and missing values. Researchers should conduct thorough preliminary data screening to identify and remedy potential problems with their data prior to running the data analyses that are of primary interest. Analyses based on a dataset that contains errors, or data that seriously violate assumptions that are required for the analysis, can yield misleading results.
Some of the potential problems with data are as follows: errors in data coding and data entry, inconsistent responses, missing values, extreme outliers, nonnormal distribution shapes, within-group sample sizes that are too small for the intended analysis, and nonlinear relations between quantitative variables. Problems with data should be identified and remedied (as adequately as possible) prior to analysis. A research report should include a summary of problems detected in the data and any remedies that were employed (such as deletion of outliers or data transformations) to address these problems.
4.2 Quality Control During Data Collection
There are many different possible methods of data collection. A psychologist may collect data on personality or attitudes by asking participants to answer questions on a questionnaire. A medical researcher may use a computer-controlled blood pressure monitor to assess systolic blood pressure (SBP) or other physiological responses. A researcher may record observations of animal behavior. Physical measurements (such as height or weight) may be taken. Most methods of data collection are susceptible to recording errors or artifacts, and researchers need to know what kinds of errors are likely to occur.
For example, researchers who use self-report data to do research on personality or attitudes need to be aware of common problems with this type of data. Participants may distort their answers because of social desirability bias; they may misunderstand questions; they may not remember the events that they are asked to report about; they may deliberately try to “fake good” or “fake bad”; they may even make random responses without reading the questions. A participant may accidentally skip a question on a survey and, subsequently, use the wrong lines on the answer sheet to enter each response; for example, the response to Question 4 may be filled in as Item 3 on the answer sheet, the response to Question 5 may be filled in as Item 4, and so forth. In addition, research assistants have been known to f ...

Overview: Financial Management Case Study
One of the important duties of a nurse leader is to manage personnel and personnel budgets. In this assignment, you will assume the role of a nurse manager. You will use given data to make important decisions regarding budgets and staffing.
Some nurse managers have computer spreadsheets or software applications to help them make decisions regarding budgets and staffing. You will only need simple mathematical operations* to perform the needed calculations in this assignment because the scenario has been simplified. Furthermore, some data have been provided for you that a nurse leader might need to gather or compute in a real setting. Still, you will get a glimpse of the complexity of responsibilities nurse leaders shoulder regarding financial management.
· To calculate the percent of the whole a given number represents, follow these steps:
Change the percentage to a decimal number by moving the decimal twice to the left (or dividing by 100).
Multiply the new decimal number by the whole.
Example: What is 30% of 70?
30%= .30; (.30) × 70 = 21
· To find out what percentage a number represents in relation to the whole, follow these steps:
Divide the number by the whole (usually the small number by the large number).
Change the decimal answer to percent by moving the decimal twice to the right (or multiplying by 100).
Example: What percent of 45 is 10?
10 ÷ 45 = .222; so, 10 is 22% of 45.
* You will only need addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Re� ecting on Practice: using
learning journals in higher and
continuing education
ARTHUR M. LANGER
Teachers College, Columbia University in the City of New York, 203 Lewisohn Hall,
Mail Code 4114, 2970 Broadway, New York, NY 10027, USA
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to report on the use of learning journals as vehicles for
encouraging critical re� ection among non-traditional students and to compare variances with
studies among traditional students. An objective of the study was to understand how adult
students in a ‘technical’ computer class responded to the requirement for learning journals.
Qualitative research focused on whether learning journals prove to be an effective teaching tool
in science-based, adult learning. The study was conducted at Columbia University’s Computer
Technology programme in Continuing Education. Results suggest that non-traditional students
are more skeptical than traditional students about using learning journals and more likely to use
them as study tools. An implication of this study is that student perception and skepticism of the
assignment can affect the objective of developing re� ective thinking. This implication stresses the
need to account for student perception in studies on learning journals and critical re� ection.
Introduction
The use of learning journals as a method for engaging traditional students in critical
re� ection has been widely discussed in the literature. However, their use in assisting
adult non-traditional students, particularly those who are engaged in profession-ori-
entated educational programmes of continuing higher education has received com-
paratively little attention. This paper focuses on the question of how the use of
journals impacted the learning process of adult students of the latter category and
how this impact compared to that of students of the former category. Speci� cally,
the study focused on students attending a computer technology class. The class,
Computer Architecture, is a required course in an 18-month computer technology
certi� cation programme at Columbia University. The courses in this certi� cation
programme are designed for adult students interested in changing their careers. The
curriculum focuses on real-world topics that are essential to the effective technology
practitioner in the workplace. The instructor for the course required the submission
of a weekly learning journal from each student during the 15-week course. Students
were asked to be re� ective about new career opportunities and how to apply
technology to the workplace.

On page 222 of Chapter 8 in the textbook, Friedman et al. states, “Social class along with
cultural background, exerts the greatest overall influence on family life influencing family values
and priorities, family behavioral patterns, socialization practices, family role expectations, and
world experiences.”
In your professional or personal experiences, describe one situation in which you have seen
how a family’s culture and/or social class have had a major impact on family behavioral
patterns. This may be related to illness prevention (Stage 1 Health Promotion) and/or
compliance with a treatment plan prescribed by the healthcare provider (Stage 5 Acute
Response to Illness).

Bionic Human: Chapter 11 Assignment
Stem cells and tissue engineering
Differences Between Embryonic and Adult Stem Cells
Embryonic stem cells can become ALL cell types of the body because they are pluripotent. Adult stem cells were originally thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin. However, evidence suggests that adult stem cell plasticity (see below) does indeed exist, increasing the number of cell types a given adult stem cell can become.
Large numbers of embryonic stem cells can be grown in culture relatively easily, while adult stem cells are rare in mature tissues and methods for expanding their numbers in cell culture are improving, but have not yet been optimized.
Plasticity: Defined as the ability of stem cells from one adult tissue to generate the differentiated cell types of another tissue.
Scaffold: The scaffold or three-dimensional (3-D) construct provides the necessary support for cells to proliferate and maintain their function. Ideally a scaffold should have the following characteristics:
• Three- dimensional and highly porous with an interconnected pore network for cell growth and flow transport of nutrients and metabolic waste
• Biocompatibile and Bioresorbable with a controllable degradation and reabsorption rate to match cell/tissue growth in vitro and/or in vivo.
• Suitable surface chemistry for cell attachment proliferation and differentiation
• Mechanical properties to match those of the tissues at the site of implantation
Instructions: Read Chapter 11 and review the slides to answer the following questions. Additionally, a paper listed on blackboard can provide for further assistance.
1. Name two sources of stem cells, either embryonic stem cells or adult stem cells.
2. What is a tissue engineering scaffold?
3. Give three examples of materials that can be used as a scaffold.
4. Name two types of polynucleotides found in our cells.
The human genetic information is stored in _________
5. What is pluripotency?
6. Name three polymers that are used in medicine.
7. Name two important considerations for an implantable material.

Scaffolds for
stem cells
Today, most people know at least something about stem cells. Embryonic
stem cells enjoy regular mentions in news programs and magazines,
probably because of the controversial way in which they are generated
but also because of their huge potential in medicine. Here we distinguish
between and define types of stem cells, discuss techniques used so far
to create various cells and tissues from stem cells, and discuss how
three-dimensional supports and stem cells have been and should be used
to encourage the development of functional replacement tissue.

Week 3 Assignment 1: Financial Management Case Study v2.2
Name:
Date:
Overview: Financial Management Case Study
One of the important duties of a nurse leader is to manage personnel and personnel budgets. In this assignment, you will assume the role of a nurse manager. You will use given data to make important decisions regarding budgets and staffing.
Some nurse managers have computer spreadsheets or software applications to help them make decisions regarding budgets and staffing. You will only need simple mathematical operations* to perform the needed calculations in this assignment because the scenario has been simplified. Furthermore, some data have been provided for you that a nurse leader might need to gather or compute in a real setting. Still, you will get a glimpse of the complexity of responsibilities nurse leaders shoulder regarding financial management.
· To calculate the percent of the whole a given number represents, follow these steps:
Change the percentage to a decimal number by moving the decimal twice to the left (or dividing by 100).
Multiply the new decimal number by the whole.
Example: What is 30% of 70?
30%= .30; (.30) × 70 = 21
· To find out what percentage a number represents in relation to the whole, follow these steps:
Divide the number by the whole (usually the small number by the large number).
Change the decimal answer to percent by moving the decimal twice to the right (or multiplying by 100).
Example: What percent of 45 is 10?
10 ÷ 45 = .222; so, 10 is 22% of 45.
* You will only need addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Habitable Zones – Student Guide
Exercises
Please read through the background pages entitled Life, Circumstellar Habitable Zones, and The Galactic Habitable Zone before working on the exercises using simulations below.
Circumstellar Zones
Open the Circumstellar Zone Simulator. There are four main panels:
· The top panel simulation displays a visualization of a star and its planets looking down onto the plane of the solar system. The habitable zone is displayed for the particular star being simulated. One can click and drag either toward the star or away from it to change the scale being displayed.
· The General Settings panel provides two options for creating standards of reference in the top panel.
· The Star and Planets Setting and Properties panel allows one to display our own star system, several known star systems, or create your own star-planet combinations in the none-selected mode.
· The Timeline and Simulation Controls allows one to demonstrate the time evolution of the star system being displayed.
The simulation begins with our Sun being displayed as it was when it formed and a terrestrial planet at the position of Earth. One can change the planet’s distance from the Sun either by dragging it or using the planet distance slider.
Note that the appearance of the planet changes depending upon its location. It appears quite earth-like when inside the circumstellar habitable zone (hereafter CHZ). However, when it is dragged inside of the CHZ it becomes “desert-like” while outside it appears “frozen”.
Question 1: Drag the planet to the inner boundary of the CHZ and note this distance from the Sun. Then drag it to the outer boundary and note this value. Lastly, take the difference of these two figures to calculate the “width” of the sun’s primordial CHZ.
CHZ Inner Boundary
CHZ Outer Boundary
Width of CHZ
NAAP – Habitable Zones 1/7
Question 2: Let’s explore the width of the CHZ for other stars. Complete the table below for stars with a variety of masses.
Star Mass (M )
Star Luminosity (L )
CHZ Inner Boundary (AU)
CHZ Outer Boundary (AU)
Width of CHZ (AU)

2.0
4.0
8.0
15.0
Question 3: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the location of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Question 4: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the width of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Exploring Other Systems
Begin by selecting the system 51 Pegasi. This was the first planet discovered around a star using the radial velocity technique. This technique detects systematic shifts in the wavelengths of absorption lines in the star’s spectra over time due to the motion of the star around the star-planet center of mass. The planet orbiting 51 Pegasi has a mass of at least half Jupiter’s mass.
Question 5: Zoom out so that you can compare this planet to those in our solar system (you can click-hold-drag to change t ...

Hygiene Saves Lives
I. Intro: To give an informational speech about Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis
A) Attention getter – On each square centimeter of your skin, there are about 1,500
bacteria. That’s a lot of germs. According to a study conducted by Michigan State
University researchers, 95% of people do not properly wash their hands long enough to
kill the infection causing germs and bacteria (Jaslow, “95 Percent of People Wash Their
Hands Improperly: Are You One of Them?”).
B) Purpose Statement - That’s gross. While I can’t force you to wash your hands, perhaps
today I can help you realize just how much history and evidence is behind this crucial
bathroom ritual.
C) Thesis – Today, I will inform you all about Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis by discussing first
about his practice and studies, second about his scientific methods that saved a lot of
lives, and third about the germ theory we all take for granted.
II. BODY:
A) Main Point Number 1: To begin, I want to introduce Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis.
a) Ignaz Semmelweis became a physician and earned his doctorate degree in medicine
in 1844. This time period was known as the start of the golden age of the physician
scientist” (NPR.org). This means that doctors were expected to have scientific
training. Doctors were more interested in numbers and collecting data (Justin Lessler,
an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health).
b) In 1846, Dr. Semmelweis showed up for his new job in the maternity clinic at the
General Hospital in Vienna. Due to the time period, Dr. Semmelweis thought like a
physician scientist and wanted to figure out why so many women in maternity wards
were dying from childbed fever (Davis, “The Doctor Who Championed
Hand-Washing and Briefly Saved Lives”).
c) So what did he do? He collected data of his own. He studied two maternity wards in
the hospital. One was staffed by all male doctors and medical students, and the other
by female midwives. He tallied up the number of deaths in each ward and found that
women in the clinic staffed by doctors and medical students died at a rate 5 times ...

The document discusses the case of Terri Schiavo, who was in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years. It summarizes the key facts of her medical condition and diagnosis, the disagreement between her husband and parents about continuing life-sustaining treatment, and the multiple legal appeals involved in the case. It concludes that while both sides wanted what was right for Terri, the central issue is determining what the patient herself would have wanted, which the courts found clear evidence for in Terri's case based on prior statements to her husband.

This document summarizes a proposed change by a Little League commission to eliminate scoring in games. The commission believes this will reduce stress in children, but the summary argues that:
1) There is no evidence scoring causes stress, and children face stress from many sources unrelated to baseball.
2) Removing scoring upends decades of tradition and takes away important lessons about effort and reward for children.
3) Parents will likely oppose the change as it diminishes their experiences supporting and bonding with their children over the game.

Nadya’shelpfultipsonwritinginScienceMicrobiology-.docx
Nadya’s helpful tips on writing in Science/Microbiology
-Primary, peer-reviewed sources come from scientific journals and often have
interesting background information relevant to the organism of interest. This is to
tell the reader why it is important. If you want lots of background information,
scientists often write review articles that go through the same peer-review as
papers on experiments on focusing on consolidating what the current and accepted
work is on the topic.
- Bacteria is the plural form of bacterium. If you are uncertain of its usage, try
replacing the noun with a word that you are a little more comfortable with such as
dog/dogs. Same goes for data being the plural of datum.
-When writing the scientific name of an organism, you will always write it out in
italics with the genus capitalized and the species name lower case (e.g. Bacillus
cereus). It is also acceptable that after you introduce a scientific name fully, to
abbreviate the genus to the first or second letter of the genus. For example:
“Bacillus thuringiensis is a bacterium often associated with soil microbial biomes…
B. thuringiensis was discovered to have entomopathogenic qualities in an
assortment of insect orders while being highly specific in its pathogenicity to only
insects.”
-Proofreading is your friend. It may feel like more work but having something that
is proofread goes a long way to helping the reader understand what you are saying
in a clear and concise way rather than leaving the reader feeling frustrated and
confused. While I don’t really grade on grammar and punctuation, if it is bad, it will
cost points on the assignment.
-Technology is helpful but communication is vital. While we use a lot of new
technology to help us be more productive in work and school, communication has
never been more vital. That being said, if you have a problem turning in your paper
on time due to technological difficulties, you need to communicate that to me as
soon as possible to avoid a late penalty. You have been warned.
-Lastly, while format doesn’t matter to me (every scientific journal or grant source
has their own format), having the right information in your citations is important. If
I can’t find your source when I’m checking them, how am I supposed to verify what
was said in your source? Common important items to include: author names, article
title, journal name, issue and volume, and url (if collected from the web). Web of
knowledge/science is a great way to search journal articles if on campus as our
school has a subscription to most journals and all of them are moving to electronic
copies rather than paper.
If you have questions on any of these tips, don’t hesitate to ask me!

4 - PRELIMINARY DATA SCREENING
4.1 Introduction: Problems in Real Data
Real datasets often contain errors, inconsistencies in responses or measurements, outliers, and missing values. Researchers should conduct thorough preliminary data screening to identify and remedy potential problems with their data prior to running the data analyses that are of primary interest. Analyses based on a dataset that contains errors, or data that seriously violate assumptions that are required for the analysis, can yield misleading results.
Some of the potential problems with data are as follows: errors in data coding and data entry, inconsistent responses, missing values, extreme outliers, nonnormal distribution shapes, within-group sample sizes that are too small for the intended analysis, and nonlinear relations between quantitative variables. Problems with data should be identified and remedied (as adequately as possible) prior to analysis. A research report should include a summary of problems detected in the data and any remedies that were employed (such as deletion of outliers or data transformations) to address these problems.
4.2 Quality Control During Data Collection
There are many different possible methods of data collection. A psychologist may collect data on personality or attitudes by asking participants to answer questions on a questionnaire. A medical researcher may use a computer-controlled blood pressure monitor to assess systolic blood pressure (SBP) or other physiological responses. A researcher may record observations of animal behavior. Physical measurements (such as height or weight) may be taken. Most methods of data collection are susceptible to recording errors or artifacts, and researchers need to know what kinds of errors are likely to occur.
For example, researchers who use self-report data to do research on personality or attitudes need to be aware of common problems with this type of data. Participants may distort their answers because of social desirability bias; they may misunderstand questions; they may not remember the events that they are asked to report about; they may deliberately try to “fake good” or “fake bad”; they may even make random responses without reading the questions. A participant may accidentally skip a question on a survey and, subsequently, use the wrong lines on the answer sheet to enter each response; for example, the response to Question 4 may be filled in as Item 3 on the answer sheet, the response to Question 5 may be filled in as Item 4, and so forth. In addition, research assistants have been known to f ...

Overview: Financial Management Case Study
One of the important duties of a nurse leader is to manage personnel and personnel budgets. In this assignment, you will assume the role of a nurse manager. You will use given data to make important decisions regarding budgets and staffing.
Some nurse managers have computer spreadsheets or software applications to help them make decisions regarding budgets and staffing. You will only need simple mathematical operations* to perform the needed calculations in this assignment because the scenario has been simplified. Furthermore, some data have been provided for you that a nurse leader might need to gather or compute in a real setting. Still, you will get a glimpse of the complexity of responsibilities nurse leaders shoulder regarding financial management.
· To calculate the percent of the whole a given number represents, follow these steps:
Change the percentage to a decimal number by moving the decimal twice to the left (or dividing by 100).
Multiply the new decimal number by the whole.
Example: What is 30% of 70?
30%= .30; (.30) × 70 = 21
· To find out what percentage a number represents in relation to the whole, follow these steps:
Divide the number by the whole (usually the small number by the large number).
Change the decimal answer to percent by moving the decimal twice to the right (or multiplying by 100).
Example: What percent of 45 is 10?
10 ÷ 45 = .222; so, 10 is 22% of 45.
* You will only need addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Re� ecting on Practice: using
learning journals in higher and
continuing education
ARTHUR M. LANGER
Teachers College, Columbia University in the City of New York, 203 Lewisohn Hall,
Mail Code 4114, 2970 Broadway, New York, NY 10027, USA
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to report on the use of learning journals as vehicles for
encouraging critical re� ection among non-traditional students and to compare variances with
studies among traditional students. An objective of the study was to understand how adult
students in a ‘technical’ computer class responded to the requirement for learning journals.
Qualitative research focused on whether learning journals prove to be an effective teaching tool
in science-based, adult learning. The study was conducted at Columbia University’s Computer
Technology programme in Continuing Education. Results suggest that non-traditional students
are more skeptical than traditional students about using learning journals and more likely to use
them as study tools. An implication of this study is that student perception and skepticism of the
assignment can affect the objective of developing re� ective thinking. This implication stresses the
need to account for student perception in studies on learning journals and critical re� ection.
Introduction
The use of learning journals as a method for engaging traditional students in critical
re� ection has been widely discussed in the literature. However, their use in assisting
adult non-traditional students, particularly those who are engaged in profession-ori-
entated educational programmes of continuing higher education has received com-
paratively little attention. This paper focuses on the question of how the use of
journals impacted the learning process of adult students of the latter category and
how this impact compared to that of students of the former category. Speci� cally,
the study focused on students attending a computer technology class. The class,
Computer Architecture, is a required course in an 18-month computer technology
certi� cation programme at Columbia University. The courses in this certi� cation
programme are designed for adult students interested in changing their careers. The
curriculum focuses on real-world topics that are essential to the effective technology
practitioner in the workplace. The instructor for the course required the submission
of a weekly learning journal from each student during the 15-week course. Students
were asked to be re� ective about new career opportunities and how to apply
technology to the workplace.

On page 222 of Chapter 8 in the textbook, Friedman et al. states, “Social class along with
cultural background, exerts the greatest overall influence on family life influencing family values
and priorities, family behavioral patterns, socialization practices, family role expectations, and
world experiences.”
In your professional or personal experiences, describe one situation in which you have seen
how a family’s culture and/or social class have had a major impact on family behavioral
patterns. This may be related to illness prevention (Stage 1 Health Promotion) and/or
compliance with a treatment plan prescribed by the healthcare provider (Stage 5 Acute
Response to Illness).

Bionic Human: Chapter 11 Assignment
Stem cells and tissue engineering
Differences Between Embryonic and Adult Stem Cells
Embryonic stem cells can become ALL cell types of the body because they are pluripotent. Adult stem cells were originally thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin. However, evidence suggests that adult stem cell plasticity (see below) does indeed exist, increasing the number of cell types a given adult stem cell can become.
Large numbers of embryonic stem cells can be grown in culture relatively easily, while adult stem cells are rare in mature tissues and methods for expanding their numbers in cell culture are improving, but have not yet been optimized.
Plasticity: Defined as the ability of stem cells from one adult tissue to generate the differentiated cell types of another tissue.
Scaffold: The scaffold or three-dimensional (3-D) construct provides the necessary support for cells to proliferate and maintain their function. Ideally a scaffold should have the following characteristics:
• Three- dimensional and highly porous with an interconnected pore network for cell growth and flow transport of nutrients and metabolic waste
• Biocompatibile and Bioresorbable with a controllable degradation and reabsorption rate to match cell/tissue growth in vitro and/or in vivo.
• Suitable surface chemistry for cell attachment proliferation and differentiation
• Mechanical properties to match those of the tissues at the site of implantation
Instructions: Read Chapter 11 and review the slides to answer the following questions. Additionally, a paper listed on blackboard can provide for further assistance.
1. Name two sources of stem cells, either embryonic stem cells or adult stem cells.
2. What is a tissue engineering scaffold?
3. Give three examples of materials that can be used as a scaffold.
4. Name two types of polynucleotides found in our cells.
The human genetic information is stored in _________
5. What is pluripotency?
6. Name three polymers that are used in medicine.
7. Name two important considerations for an implantable material.

Scaffolds for
stem cells
Today, most people know at least something about stem cells. Embryonic
stem cells enjoy regular mentions in news programs and magazines,
probably because of the controversial way in which they are generated
but also because of their huge potential in medicine. Here we distinguish
between and define types of stem cells, discuss techniques used so far
to create various cells and tissues from stem cells, and discuss how
three-dimensional supports and stem cells have been and should be used
to encourage the development of functional replacement tissue.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
