The finance department of a large corporation has evaluated a possible capital project using the NPV method, the Payback Method, and the IRR method. The analysts are puzzled, since the NPV indicated rejection, but the IRR and Payback methods both indicated acceptance. Explain why this conflicting situation might occur and what conclusions the analyst should accept, indicating the shortcomings and the advantages of each method. Assuming the data is correct, which method will most likely provide the most accurate decisions and why? .

The fear that this population feels is not fear of the diagnosis “but by the structural relations defining the economic condition of a low-income, immigrant community that intersect with the incidence of chronic disease” ( Page-Reeves, Niforatos, Mishra, Regino, Gingrich, & Bulten, 2013 ). It is very disheartening that people fear the social part of medicine so much that they will go without medical help and face the consequences of undiagnosed diabetes which just gets more complicated the further the disease progresses. Ultimately when they do seek help it is more expensive and more intensive. This is a difficult situation for this specific ethnic group. I NEED YOU TO COMMENT FROM THIS POST, NO MORE THAN 150 WORDS NEEDED, AND A REFERENCE. .

The Extra Credit Assignment In Topic 6 you and your classmates considered Lin-Manuel Miranda’s choice of Alexander Hamilton as an archetypical American. For this extra credit assignment choose one person about whom you have learned this summer session who you think is an archetypical American and explain what “American” characteristics you think they embody.  You may not choose Alexander Hamilton. Rather, for this assignment, I want you to find your own Hamilton!  Your assignment should be at least 500 words.  Your choice must appear in Out of Many and/or in one of the assigned primary or secondary sources. But a lot of interesting historical figures from lesser-known people like Phyllis Wheatley or James Otis to even well-known people, like Pocahontas, Thomas Jefferson, Frederick Douglas, or Abraham Lincoln  only get brief coverage in the assigned reading due to time-constraints. So, for this assignment I want you to do a bit of additional research. In your essay, in addition to drawing on information from the assigned reading, also incorporate information from one good-quality internet source. The website you use must end in .edu (= associated with a college or university), .gov (= associated with the US government), or .pbs.org (= associated with PBS). I highly recommend getting your website approved by me before you write your essay. (Email me at any time to check.) .

The Estrangement of Labour , page 1 of 3 We shall start out from an actual economic fact. The worker becomes poorer the more wealth he produces, the more his production increases in power and extent. The worker becomes an ever cheaper commodity the more commodities he produces. The devaluation of the human world grows in direct proportion to the increase in value of the world of things. Labour not only produces commodities; it also produces itself and the workers as a commodity and it does so in the same proportion in which it produces commodities in general. This fact simply means that the object that labour produces, its product, stands opposed to it as something alien, as a power independent of the producer …. The realization of labour is its objectification. In the sphere of political economy, this realization of labour appears as a loss of reality for the worker, objectification as loss of and bondage to the object, and appropriation as estrangement, as alienation. So much does the realization of labour appear as loss of reality that the worker loses his reality to the point of dying of starvation. So much does objectification appear as loss of the object that the worker is robbed of the objects he needs most not only for life but also for work. Work itself becomes an object which he can only obtain through an enormous effort and with spasmodic interruptions. So much does the appropriation of the object appear as estrangement that the more objects the worker produces the fewer can he possess and the more he falls under the domination of his product, of capital …. The Estrangement of Labour , page 2 of 3 Up to now, we have considered the estrangement, the alienation of the worker, only from one aspect—i.e., the worker's relationship to the products of his labour. But estrangement manifests itself not only in the result, but also in the act of production, within the activity of production itself. After all, the product is simply the resume of the activity, of the production. So if the product of labour is alienation, production itself must be active alienation, the alienation of activity, the activity of alienation. The estrangement of the object of labour merely summarizes the estrangement, the alienation in the activity of labour itself. What constitutes the alienation of labour? Firstly, the fact that labour is external to the worker—i.e., does not belong to his essential being; that he, therefore, does not confirm himself in his work, but denies himself, feels miserable and not happy, does not develop free mental and physical energy, but mortifies his flesh and ruins his mind. Hence, the worker feels himself only when he is not working; when he is working, he does not feel himself. His labour is, therefore, not voluntary but forced, it is forced labour. It is, therefore, not the satisfaction of a need but a mere means to satisfy needs outside itself. Its alien character is clearly demonstrated by the fact that as soon as no physical or.

The end of the Civil War left the United States in tatters. The southern states that had seceded from the Union in the interests of preserving the right to own slaves were devastated economically from four years of war. The northern states that had emerged as victors in the Civil War also had suffered. The task that faced the nation was not only one of reuniting two constituencies who had bitterly fought one another but also of finding a way to heal. The healing, many says, is still continuing. We will reflect on the process of healing a divided nation in this brief essay. Please do the following: Complete the module’s assigned readings, and view the assigned video presentations. Write an essay of 250-500 words (1-2 pages, typewritten and double-spaced) that connects the thoughts that President Obama shared with the nation in his 2013 Inaugural Address with the primary source documents from Voices of Freedom and Foner Online. Focus the essay around these questions: In what ways did the 13 th , 14 th , and 15 th amendments to the Constitution initiate a “more perfect union”? How is the nation more united in 2016 than it was in 1865? How is the nation more divided today than at the end of the Civil War? Please end with a reflection on what you think could be done to realize the vision that Obama evokes in his inaugural address. When completing this writing assignment be sure to address the roles that different societal institutions such as governmental bodies, military forces, businesses, and churches played in America during this time period and how the dynamics of race, gender, class, and religion informed the development of American institutions. .

The emergence of modern science began as a move from theological-based reasoning to observational- and empirically-based reasoning. Two areas of reasoning evolved from this time, inductive and deductive. For example, Galileo, using mathematics and observation, explained the laws of the physical world through deductive reasoning. Francis Bacon, however, sought answers to questions of the physical world through observation and devised many theories from these observations. Cartesian dualism is one school of thought that examined the mind-body relationship. Several branches of scientific thought developed which was based in part on the philosophical underpinnings of the region (e.g. British, French and German). These included positivism, rationalism, and empiricism. From these philosophical views emerged a focus on understanding behavior or more precisely the mind. Compare and contrast the views of Galileo and Bacon. Explain why these two scientists had an impact on the development of psychology. Compare the basic principles of Rene Descartes, Immanuel Kant, and John Locke. How do these principles differ in their perspectives of the mind-body relationship? What do these principles add to the comprehensive understanding of psychology as a science? Explain the cultural and even nationalistic influences on how the different schools of thought developed (positivism, rationalism, and empiricism)? Explain how theological or religious beliefs influence the different schools of thought as they had done to the philosophical views of early centuries? Justify your answers with appropriate research and reasoning. Comment on the postings of at least two peers. Provide an analysis of each peer’s postings while also suggesting specific additions or clarifications for improving the discussion question response. .

The Dynamic Earth Research Paper Assignment This is to be a research-based paper in which you explore a specific aspect of an Earth science topic in more detail than is covered in the class. You are to find out what the experts think about the topic and report on the rationale for their understanding, that is, upon what experimental and observational evidence and logic do they base their conclusions. You can choose any topic of interest to you that is related to the Earth science topics that we covered in class. However make sure that it is specific enough that you can cover it well in the paper. This should not be a general overview paper. Some sample topics are listed at the end, but you are not limited to these topics. Your thesis in the paper should be supported by facts obtained from research. A minimum of four sources must be used. They should include at least one book other than the textbook or other reference book (either in print or in electronic format from the library database) or an article from peer-reviewed academic journals. Web-based materials should come from credible sources. University-related and government agency websites generally have credible scientific information, while personal and business-related sites should be treated with healthy skepticism. Although you may not find books that directly addresses the issue about which you are writing, you may find one that addresses necessary background or general supporting information about your topic. Reference material (e.g. encyclopedias, dictionaries, your textbook) do not count toward your four references, although you are welcome to use them. You should credit your sources whenever you quote from or paraphrase a source. Additionally, you should always cite your source for any statements made in the essay that are not general knowledge (because you presumably obtained them from one of your sources). For instance if you state that 98 percent of all the fish in the ocean are green, you will want to cite your source. A bibliography page, or works cited page, should be located on a separate page immediately following the body of your essay. It should contain the list of works used listed alphabetically by last name of lead author. Although I will not be extremely picky about the formatting of the works cited page, I do expect all the information needed to locate each source, and I expect it to roughly follow the standard formatting used in composition classes. Be sure to include the date of access for URL’s. The paper should be 5-8 pages long, typewritten, double spaced, and written in a standard (and legible) font (12 point Times New Roman for example). It is to be submitted electronically via Isidore, where it will be checked by Turnitin.com. The paper is due by the end of the last day of class (12/9/2016). Sample topics: 1. Select a recent natural disaster, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, flood, and hurricanes, provide a detailed geological/hydrological.

The Distinction Between Leadership and Management Think of the managers you have reported to thus far in your career. Now consider the people you have worked with or know of that you would consider leaders. Based on these experiences, what would you surmise about the responsibilities of managers and leaders and about the distinctions between these two categories in health care settings? This week’s Learning Resources classify management and leadership (which are often confused in everyday discussion) and explain their significance for health care organizations. As you advance professionally, it is critical to understand the distinctions between management and leadership and how you can apply this knowledge for increasing effectiveness in your workplace. To prepare: · Review the information in the Learning Resources. · Conduct additional research on your own and select at least two current, credible sources that contribute to your understanding of management and leadership. · Reflect on how the roles of management and leadership differ in supporting the organization to set and achieve goals. · Drawing upon specific examples from a current or previous practice setting, bring to mind someone who seemed to be a leader but not a manager and someone who seemed to be a manager but not a leader (generally speaking, or within a specific circumstance). Be prepared to support your assessment with specific behavioral descriptions found in the literature. Address the following in my Assignment: 1. An analysis of how management and leadership roles differ in terms of supporting an organization to set and achieve goals. 2. In addition, post descriptions of an individual who demonstrates leadership behaviors but not management behaviors and an individual who demonstrates management behaviors but not leadership behaviors. 3. Provide your rationale, identifying specific characteristics of effective managers and leaders. ( Note: Do not identify these individuals by name, position, or location .) 4. Summary with Conclusion REMINDERS: 1) 2-3 pages (addressing the 4 questions above excluding the title page and reference page). 2) Kindly follow APA format for the citation and references! References should be between the period of 2011 and 2016. Please utilize the references at least three below as much as possible and the rest from yours. 3) Make headings for each question.

The diversity of the U.S. population has changed significantly over the past decade, and more shifts are expected over the next 20 years. Some examples include: 1) construction firms are employing a large number of Hispanic/Latinos and they must adapt their recruiting, training, and safety practices to reflect this diversity in their workforce; 2) Harley-Davidson increased the number of minority and women managers and workers by 20% over the past decade which has resulted in more African America, Latino, and women customers; 3) long-haul trucking companies are focusing on recruiting and training women to counter an expected shortage of 111,000 drivers by 2016. Questions for Discussion: Post to the Forums by midnight Thursday and respond to at least 2 members of the class by midnight, Sunday of the week using critical analysis and scholarly discussions. 1. What do you think are the major reasons that more organizations are recruiting a diverse workforce? 2. What are some ways that recruiting would be done differently to attract more African Americans? Latinos? Women? 3. What are some ways that training would be done differently for African Americans? Latinos? Women? 300 word minimum, APA format, intext citations along with at least 2 credible references .

The Dual Nature of Informatics Informatics can be used for improving health outcomes not only for individual patients, but also for whole groups of patients with similar conditions. This is often referred to as the dual nature of informatics. Technologies, such as electronic health records (EHRs) and clinical decision support (CDS) systems, can provide insights and guidance for health care professionals at the point of care. In addition, data warehousing and mining allow health care organizations to use the vast amount of information stored in EHRs to make predictions and diagnoses for other patients with similar conditions. In this Discussion, you examine the dual nature of informatics. First, you review a scenario and consider the patient information to be collected and recorded at the point of care. Then, you decide how this information could be aggregated for population health and future use. Consider the following scenario: Mrs. Jones has come into your office stating that she has been experiencing frequent dizzy spells. She also reports that she has been unable to eat anything substantial over the last few days due to extreme nausea. The last time Mrs. Jones was in your office, the physician had suggested she start walking around the block or bicycling around the neighborhood to get her activity level up. Mrs. Jones admits that she did very little of that after a “ flip-flop” feeling of her heart scared her. You know that her symptoms could be a result of many conditions. Following the prompts on your informatics system, you begin to gather more specific information about Mrs. Jones’ symptoms and health history. To prepare: Based on the scenario, what information would you want to immediately gather about Mrs. Jones? With that in mind, compile a list of patient questions you would like an EHR documentation screen to have. How might the information derived from these questions help you provide high-quality care to Mrs. Jones? Once this information is collected, what alerts might be critical to the evaluation of Mrs. Jones? Review this week’s media presentation, Dual Nature of Informatics Systems , and reflect on the movement towards more transparent data and meaningful use. How might the data entered about an individual patient help to build preventative care and treatment for whole populations? Refer back to your list of patient questions. Of these questions, which would generate data that could be aggregated for use with a larger group of patients? ( Note: When developing your questions, consider the whole patient.) Post on Tuesday 06/06/2016 a minimum of 550 words in APA format with 4 references 1) A description of the ideal EHR documentation screen that you would like to have at the point of care for all patients and why. 2) Explain how information gathered at the point of care with an individual patient can be aggregated to help provide high quality care to a larger population of patients.

The documents created at the inception of American democracy trace their lineage to the Magna Carta signed by King John of England in 1215. The Magna Carta was written by King John’s Barons to protect their rights and property from the King. They forced the King to affix his seal to the document under threat of civil war. The American colonists believed they were the inheritors of those rights from the King of England and as a result the Magna Carta was an inspiration for the American Revolution. Thomas Jefferson, in the Declaration of Independence, wrote about every man’s fundamental right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The framers of the United States Constitution sought to design a system of government that would help make the ideals of the Declaration of Independence a reality. Today, United States Supreme Court justices refer to the Constitution as “the supreme law of the land” for guidance as they attempt to adjudicate modern-day conflicts. Much of the influence and authority of the Supreme Court rests in the interpretation of the original concepts and principles of the Constitution. To prepare for this Discussion: Review the Declaration of Independence in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus on the democratic principles outlined in the document. Review the transcript of the Constitution of the United States in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the relationship between the principles summarized in the Constitution and those detailed in the Declaration of Independence. Review the article “Magna Carta and Its American Legacy” in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about how the Magna Carta influenced concepts and principles in founding documents of democracy. Peruse the Supreme Court of the United States website and review arguments for current cases. Select a democratic concept or principle that is represented in the Declaration of Independence and/or the Constitution. Think about where and how your selection appears in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution, and how it might be used by a Supreme Court justice in a Supreme Court case. If you live outside the United States, how do you think this democratic principle might affect the court system in your country? With these thoughts in mind: Post by Day 4 an analysis of the democratic concept or principle represented in the Declaration of Independence and/or the Constitution you selected for this Discussion and an explanation of why you selected it.Explain how the concept or principle might be used by a Supreme Court justice in a modern-day Supreme Court case to adjudicate a current conflict. Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. .

The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week based on the course competencies covered. For this assignment, make sure you post your initial response to the Discussion Area by the due date assigned. To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use outside sources. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format. Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of week. Epidemic, Endemic, and Pandemic Occurrence of Disease(s) One aspect of epidemiology is the study of the epidemic, endemic, and pandemic occurrence of disease(s). Some critics may argue diseases and conditions such as bird flu are endemic in many countries, and some may argue human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or AIDS is a series of epidemics. Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research about the various epidemic, endemic, and pandemic occurrence of disease(s). Based on your research and understanding, answer the following questions: At what point does a disease become an epidemic, endemic, or pandemic? What are the parameters that define each of these states of a disease's effect? Do you agree that bird flu, HIV, or AIDS could be described as a series of epidemics? Why or why not? Should we study epidemiology and disease control as a complement to the provision of healthcare services? Why or why not? Disease control has evolved since the discoveries and achievements of these epidemiological pioneers— Hippocrates, John Snow, Pasteur, and Koch. Explain the impact of at least one major historical contribution on the current status of epidemiological practices. How can history potentially shape and impact our future work in public health and clinical medicine? Explain. .
