ALBERT ELLIS (1913–2007)
was born in Pittsburgh but
escaped to the wilds of New
York at the age of 4 and lived
there (except for a year in New
Jersey) for the rest of his life. He
was hospitalized nine times as
a child, mainly with nephritis,
and developed renal glycosuria
at the age of 19 and diabetes at the age of 40. By rigor-
ously taking care of his health and stubbornly refusing
to make himself miserable about it, he lived an unusually
robust and energetic life, until his death at age 93.
Realizing that he could counsel people skillfully and
that he greatly enjoyed doing so, Ellis decided to become
a psychologist. Believing psychoanalysis to be the
deepest form of psychotherapy, Ellis was analyzed and
supervised by a training analyst. He then practiced psy-
choanalytically oriented psychotherapy, but eventually
he became disillusioned with the slow progress of his cli-
ents. He observed that they improved more quickly once
they changed their ways of thinking about themselves
and their problems. Early in 1955 he developed rational
emotive behavior therapy (REBT). Ellis has rightly been
called the “grandfather of cognitive behavior therapy.”
Until his illness during the last two years of his life, he
generally worked 16 hours a day, seeing many clients for
individual therapy, making time each day for professional
writing, and giving numerous talks and workshops in
many parts of the world.
To some extent Ellis developed his approach as a
method of dealing with his own problems during his
youth. At one point in his life, for example, he had exag-

Notes for the professor:
Much of the content on these slides are based on Robbins & Judge (2012)
(“Essentials of Organizational Behavior” textbook, edition 11, chapter 2: attitudes
and job satisfaction)

Attitudes are evaluative statements and these statements can be favorable or
unfavorable. Individuals’ attitudes at work such as their satisfaction with their jobs
or their commitment to the organization are important because factors like job
satisfaction and organizational commitment can relate to one’s performance at
work.
According to the single component definition, attitudes constitute of only “affect”
or, in other words, of feelings we have about objects, people, or events. This single
component view simplifies things for us as it only refers to “affect” or feelings. We
tend to have complex views about the world but at the same time we want to predict
behavior. We can predict behavior by looking at one’s attitudes through identifying
one’s affect about objects, people, or events.
According to the tri-component view, which represents a more complicated view of
attitudes, attitudes consist of affect, behavior, and cognition. These are the ABC’s of
attitudes. According to this view or definition, affect includes how you feel,
behavior includes how you behave (how you behave is considered as part of your
attitude), and cognition includes your thoughts, your rationalizations. According to
the tri-component view of attitudes, one’s attitudes include one’s affect, behaviors,
and cognitions about objects, people, or events. For example, you may hate your job
(negative affect), but you may show up at work (behavior) not to get fired. You
might also have these cognitions that say “I should be happy to get this job…”. As you see in
this example, the components (affect, cognition, and behavior) may not be consistent.
An example where the components (affect, cognition, and behavior) are consistent is the
following: “I like my job (affect), I show up at work (behavior), and work is good for me
because it keeps my mind sharp and allows me to learn new skills, travel, make friends, be a
part of a social community, pay for my bills, pay for the things I want to do in my life, and
keeps me active and in the work force. Also, I should be very happy and grateful to have this
job because so many of my friends have been looking for a great job for a long time now.” In
another example, you may like smoking (affect), you may smoke a pack a day (behavior), and
you may have a cognition that says “smoking is good for me because I don’t get overweight”
or “it increases brain activity” (cognition). In both of these examples, the components (affect,
cognition, behavior) are consistent and, therefore, individuals do not experience dissonance.
However, to the extent that these components are not consistent, individuals experience
dissonance, in others words, an aversive mental state (which will be discussed in later s ...

The COVID-19 has affected over 45 million in the United States and has led to over seven hundred and forty thousand deaths across the United States. The pandemic has increasingly affected all individuals and has led to various economic as well as social changes. However, there have been some health disparities identified with people of color being among the most affected individuals (Reyes, 2020). Nurses are at the frontline of providing health care services to individuals that have been infected by the virus. Therefore, as a nurse, I have come across various COVID-19 cases where the patient needed to be observed or there was a need to manage the condition.
One case was that of a middle-aged pregnant woman that had contracted the virus. The symptoms started as headaches and feeling tired. She stated that she initially assumed these symptoms as normal pregnancy symptoms as she had earlier on in the week engaged in some intensive exercises as she went shopping with some family members. However, one evening she had some challenges breathing and her family members rushed her to the hospital. She had to be put on oxygen as she needed support breathing. She was given a PCR test that turned out to be negative. However, the fact that she needed to be on oxygen necessitated another test which also read negative. At this point, it was crucial that a chest scan be done to help with the diagnosis. Upon the scan, the physician diagnosed the patient with COVID-19. Her condition quickly deteriorated and she had to be put in intensive care. It was especially challenging caring for her given that she was seven months pregnant at the time. At one point, the family had contemplated terminating the pregnancy to increase her chances of surviving given that fetal movements had subsided for a while. However, after a few weeks in the intensive care unit, she made a full recovery and was able to deliver her baby full-term. She remained on oxygen and under observation until ...
· You have choices. You should answer three of the four available LesleyWhitesidefv
· You have choices. You should answer three of the four available short answer questions and one of the two essay questions. Please label each response (e.g., Short Answer 3) to indicate what question you are responding to. Please also sort your short answer responses in numerical order (so 1,2,4 if those are the three questions you answer – even if you prepared them in 4,1,2 order).
PART ONE: Answer three of the following four short answer questions. Be sure to label your answers with the question number and arrange them in question order number. A target range for responses to these questions is approximately 250 words.
Short Answer 1
History depends on the choice to narrate certain facts and omit others. All histories are incomplete, which makes the act of writing history both powerful and creative. Why does the distinction between “what happened” and “what is said to have happened” matter?
Short Answer 2
What is the “Great Man Myth” and how does that lens shape what histories get told? What histories get omitted when we focus on the Great Man Myth? Incorporate examples from at least one media technology to help support your answer.
Short Answer 3
In “The Case of the Telegraph,” James Carey argued, “The simplest and most important point about the telegraph is that it marked the decisive separation of ‘transportation’ and ‘communication.’” Describe two ideologies that were ushered in by the telegraph and how they changed society. Your answer should consider both the dominant history and also an alternative or counter history for each development.
Short Answer 4
While mainstream history celebrates photography as the first visual medium for objectivity and evidence, counter histories claim that it actually muddied the distinction between objective and subjective knowledge. Explain how photography blurred the distinction between objectivity and subjectivity and how that transmitted and influenced cultural and social ideologies. Provide specific examples to support your argument.
PART TWO: Answer one of the following two essay questions. Be sure to label your answers with the question number and arrange them in question order number.
Your answers should engage these questions at the conceptual level and use specific examples from the media histories we have covered this semester to support your arguments. A target range for this essay response is probably in the 1,200-2,000 word range.
Essay 1
In the first part of the Media Histories course, we have repeatedly turned to Benedict Anderson’s argument about imagined communities:
I propose the following definition of the nation: it is an imagined political community – and imagined as both inherently limited and sovereign.
It is imagined because the members of even the smallest nation will never know most of their fellow-members, meet them, or even hear of them, yet in the minds of each lives the image of their communication…
Communities are to be distinguished not by their ...

This document outlines a research study that uses data mining techniques to analyze student behavior data from an online course. Specifically, it uses cluster analysis to group students based on similarity of behavior patterns in the learning management system. It also uses decision tree analysis to classify students and identify attributes that influence exam performance. The goal is to gain insights into how recorded student activities in the online platform relate to successful course completion. The study analyzes log file data capturing student interactions from one course during one semester at a university in Croatia. Results from both cluster analysis and decision tree modeling are presented.

It describes a situation where a nurse posted a photo of a patient on Facebook, which was a violation of the organization's social media policy. As a result, the organization formed a task force to educate staff on these topics through interprofessional updates. The document outlines required content and competencies to be demonstrated in the staff update, such as defining protected health information, privacy/security, and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to safeguard patient data.

Introduction
Early attempts at quality efforts were limited to the resources, knowledge, and environment in which health care services and treatment were rendered. As medical education and research advanced so did the knowledge of and focus on quality improvement efforts. Basic functions including handwashing and sterile environments were two of the many simple advancements resulting in dramatic improvements in outcomes and overall quality.
Regulatory agencies have directly impacted health care organizations' focus on, and attention to, quality improvement. Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission offers accreditation to various health care organizations who demonstrate compliance with established regulatory standards. Combined with various government agencies, initiatives have been implemented that require health care organizations to report on quality measures, thereby making their quality performance transparent throughout the industry.
As a leader in the health care industry, understanding historical perspectives of quality, regulatory oversight, and medical malpractice will allow you to effectively lead your organization to meet or exceed its strategic goals related to improved outcomes, increased reimbursements, and reduced cost.

Criticism
“Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person’s precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment. …. Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain—and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.”

“When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.”

Problem-Solving Application Case—
Incentives Gone Wrong, then Wrong
Again, and Wrong Again
The Wells Fargo scandal demonstrates how a company’s choice and implementation of performance management incentives can have
disastrous side effects. This activity is important because it illustrates why managers must never implement an incentive scheme without
considering as much as possible any and all effects that it may have on employees’ behavior.
The goal of this activity is for you to understand the link between the details of Wells Fargo’s incentive scheme and the employee behaviors that
resulted from it.
Read about how performance incentives led to scandal at Wells Fargo. Then, using the three-step problem-solving approach, answer the
questions that follow.
Money is an important tool for both attracting and motivating talent. If you owned a company or were its CEO, you would likely agree and
choose performance management practices to deliver such outcomes. It also is possible you’d use incentives to help align your employees’
interests, behaviors, and performance with those of the company. After all, countless companies have used incentives very successfully, but not
all. The incentives used by Wells Fargo had disastrous consequences for employees, customers, and the company itself.

Lesson Introduction
After reading this week’s materials, you will be able to define the role of police patrol and its importance as applied to law enforcement intelligence.
Lesson Objectives
● Outline and discuss early police and patrol procedures
● Evaluate modern patrol allocations
Course Objectives that apply to this lesson:
CO: (3) Demonstrate an understanding of the history of police patrol procedures from the days of early policing to modern day policing allocations.
Patrol
There are many ways to determine the best way to allocate patrol resources in a community. Some of them are covered in our studies but that is not the whole story. Keep in mind that it is more likely to be a combination of models as well as a sensitivity to specific to regional and demographic considerations.
It is important to take many variables into consideration when determining how best to utilize patrols. At the same time, we must remember to expect the unexpected and be as prepared as possible to respond. No two situations, weeks, months, or years will ever be exactly the same. This is part of what makes a career in criminal justice such a challenge and also so rewarding.
In the early 1900’s and before the work of August Vollmer, there was not much information concerning police allocation. Vollmer created a list of police functions such as crime prevention, criminal investigation, traffic control, and patrol. In the early deployment allocation models, the police were distributed based on calls for service and officer workloads. Although what appeared to be effective at the time, more research began to see potential issues with this model such as police saturation may cause a higher number of arrests. Other departments in this time frame distributed patrol units evenly without taking into account other factors such as crimes, population, distance, or number of personnel.
Preventative Patrol
As police operations moved forward, other methods of deployment emerged. In the 1960’s, law enforcement professional started to shift focus on preventative patrol methods. As discussed in previous lessons, t ...
· What does the Goodale and Humphrey (1998) article mean by the fLesleyWhitesidefv
The document discusses a 1998 article by Goodale and Humphrey that proposed vision has two separate but interacting functions - perception and action control. It argues that separate visual systems have evolved for perception (the ventral stream) and action control (the dorsal stream), which differs from Ungerleider and Mishkin's 1982 theory that proposed one unified visual system. The document provides evidence from studies of "rewired" frogs to support the existence of separate visuomotor modules for different behaviors. It suggests this duplex approach means reconstructive and purposive views of vision are complementary rather than mutually exclusive.

Worldview & Decision-Making
The sudden neurological injury that is not likely to recover puts the person in denial if the person is somewhat conscious. It is hard to accept for even family that sudden change in care given stage. Those patients have physical problems like paralysis of facial muscles or losing sensation in the face, altered sense of smell or taste, loss of vision, swallowing difficulties, dizziness, ringing in the ear, and hearing loss. They also have altered consciousness, intellectual problems, cognitive problems, Executive functioning problems, communication problems, behavioral changes, emotional changes, sensory problems, and degenerative issues.
The majority of persons who have suffered substantial brain damage will need rehabilitation. They may have to relearn basic abilities like walking and to talk. The objective is to increase their ability to carry out everyday tasks. Rehabilitation includes a group of people who master different specialties to help patients maintain living activity. An occupational therapist, who supports the person learning, relearn or improving skills to perform everyday activities—a physical therapist who helps with mobility and relearning movement patterns, balance, and walking. The social worker or case manager facilitates access to service agencies, assists with care decisions and planning, and facilitates communication among various professionals, care providers, and family members. A rehabilitation nurse assists with discharge planning from a hospital or rehabilitation center by providing continuous rehabilitation care and services. Speech and language therapist supports the person to improve communication skills and use assistive communication devices if necessary. A recreational therapist helps the patient with Time management and leisure activities. We can also use music therapy and aroma therapy to relax patients who face incurable health conditions.

Values and Moral Survey of Students
SCORING AND INTERPRETATION: If trying to rank in order these fifteen values and morals was difficult and you felt that it was somewhat arbitrary; it was. Without the proper context, exact meaning of each, and the problem of one concept being like others, everyone gets frustrated with this exercise. To be sure, this exercise does not tell you what your real morals or values are. Rather, it is a crude representation of what they might be. At the end of the simulation, compare what you ranked as important to what your decisions were. The following are vague descriptions of the fifteen values and morals:
ASSISTANCE: The act of helping or assisting someone or the help supplied.
CANDOR: Freedom from prejudice or malice.
CHARACTER: Someone with moral excellence.
CHARITY: Generosity and helpfulness, especially toward the needy or suffering.
COMPASSION: Sympathetic consciousness of others' distress with a desire to alleviate it.
ENVIRONMENT: Concern about the world's resources (land, water, air).
EXACTING IN TRUTH: Rigid or severe in demands or requirements.
FAIRNESS: Free from bias or injustice; evenhandedness.
HONESTY: Sincerity, frankness, freedom from deceit or fraud.
INTEGRITY: Firm adherence to a code of values; incorruptibility.
PERSEVERANCE: To do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition.
SACRIFICE: Surrender of something for the sake of something else.
SERIOUSNESS: Thoughtful in appearance or manner; requiring much thought or work relating to a matter of importance.
TOLERANCE: Sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own.
TRUTHFULNESS: Corresponding with reality.

Overview
During your past briefings to Chief Glen Edwards, several in the command staff have mentioned the need in the department for more equipment. Your readings and investigation into the response to terrorism have led you to understand that the federal government has programs where local police agencies can obtain equipment. The chief understands that there are benefits and problems with any choice, so he has asked you to create a presentation for the command staff. He wants it to address the benefits they should expect, as well as the problems this equipment can bring with it.
Instructions
Create a PowerPoint presentation for the command staff that includes the following components:
· Specify three types of military equipment or arms that are available through the federal government for local law enforcement.
· Contrast two positive and negative results associated with types of military equipment or arms that are available through the federal government for local law enforcement.
· Describe negative images caused by types of military equipment or arms that are available through the federal government for local law enforcement.
· Explain why the public may have concerns about the negative images this military equipment or arms may cause (for example, in the perception of the militarization of the police).
Requirements
· Length: Include an introduction slide, 8–10 information slides, and a references slide.
· References: Include 3–4 scholarly references in APA format.
You are required to submit your assignment to Turnitin. Once you review your results and make any needed changes, submit your paper for grading.

Primary Care Nurse practitioner (NP) Role vs. APN Roles
Compare the primary care NP role with other APN roles. What are the similarities among the roles, what are the differences, and how would you communicate the role to a healthcare provider and a consumer?
The advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) has different roles and responsibilities that nurses can undertake depending on the nature of their training. An APRN can also be referred to as a nurse practitioner (NP). There are other designated roles other than the NP such as the clinical nurse specialist (CNS), the certified nurse-midwives (CNM), and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) (Everett et al., 2016). These roles have similarities and differences and many cases of overlapping responsibilities and in some cases, the need for collaboration to achieve the desired patient outcomes. The primary care NP is a specific role within the purview of NPs in which the provider is a general practitioner without any specialty training (Butler et al., 2017). The NP has roles such as completing patient assessments including conducting a physical examination. The primary care NP can also undertake diagnostic approaches such as ordering lab works and imaging procedures and providing appropriate interpretation. The NP can provide treatment and monitoring of the patient and also provide health education and other primary prevention measures.
One similarity of the role of primary NP to other APRN roles is that they have the scope to conduct independent patient assessments. All roles of the APRN have the scope of taking the patient's history, conducting a proper physical exam, and ensuring an appropriate differential diagnosis (Phillips, 2016). The APRN has completed competencies in the assessment of the patient and he/she can use these competencies to determine and fulfill patient needs. Another similarity of the role of the primary care NP to other APRNs is the role of providing patient education, mentoring, and advocating for the needs of the patient (Hanks et al., 2018). Each APRN has a responsibility to empower the patient by providing health education about their condition or the treatment process to support their autonomy. The patient is the primary decision-maker in the clinical area and providing them with education supports their ability to make proper healthcare decisions.
The role of the primary care NP is different from the role of certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) in the sense of anesthesia and pain management. The CRNA is a specialist in pre, intra and post-operative pain and anesthesia management and this is a role that the NP does not have scope for (Butler et al., 2017). Th ...

The COVID-19 has affected over 45 million in the United States and has led to over seven hundred and forty thousand deaths across the United States. The pandemic has increasingly affected all individuals and has led to various economic as well as social changes. However, there have been some health disparities identified with people of color being among the most affected individuals (Reyes, 2020). Nurses are at the frontline of providing health care services to individuals that have been infected by the virus. Therefore, as a nurse, I have come across various COVID-19 cases where the patient needed to be observed or there was a need to manage the condition.
One case was that of a middle-aged pregnant woman that had contracted the virus. The symptoms started as headaches and feeling tired. She stated that she initially assumed these symptoms as normal pregnancy symptoms as she had earlier on in the week engaged in some intensive exercises as she went shopping with some family members. However, one evening she had some challenges breathing and her family members rushed her to the hospital. She had to be put on oxygen as she needed support breathing. She was given a PCR test that turned out to be negative. However, the fact that she needed to be on oxygen necessitated another test which also read negative. At this point, it was crucial that a chest scan be done to help with the diagnosis. Upon the scan, the physician diagnosed the patient with COVID-19. Her condition quickly deteriorated and she had to be put in intensive care. It was especially challenging caring for her given that she was seven months pregnant at the time. At one point, the family had contemplated terminating the pregnancy to increase her chances of surviving given that fetal movements had subsided for a while. However, after a few weeks in the intensive care unit, she made a full recovery and was able to deliver her baby full-term. She remained on oxygen and under observation until ...
· You have choices. You should answer three of the four available LesleyWhitesidefv
· You have choices. You should answer three of the four available short answer questions and one of the two essay questions. Please label each response (e.g., Short Answer 3) to indicate what question you are responding to. Please also sort your short answer responses in numerical order (so 1,2,4 if those are the three questions you answer – even if you prepared them in 4,1,2 order).
PART ONE: Answer three of the following four short answer questions. Be sure to label your answers with the question number and arrange them in question order number. A target range for responses to these questions is approximately 250 words.
Short Answer 1
History depends on the choice to narrate certain facts and omit others. All histories are incomplete, which makes the act of writing history both powerful and creative. Why does the distinction between “what happened” and “what is said to have happened” matter?
Short Answer 2
What is the “Great Man Myth” and how does that lens shape what histories get told? What histories get omitted when we focus on the Great Man Myth? Incorporate examples from at least one media technology to help support your answer.
Short Answer 3
In “The Case of the Telegraph,” James Carey argued, “The simplest and most important point about the telegraph is that it marked the decisive separation of ‘transportation’ and ‘communication.’” Describe two ideologies that were ushered in by the telegraph and how they changed society. Your answer should consider both the dominant history and also an alternative or counter history for each development.
Short Answer 4
While mainstream history celebrates photography as the first visual medium for objectivity and evidence, counter histories claim that it actually muddied the distinction between objective and subjective knowledge. Explain how photography blurred the distinction between objectivity and subjectivity and how that transmitted and influenced cultural and social ideologies. Provide specific examples to support your argument.
PART TWO: Answer one of the following two essay questions. Be sure to label your answers with the question number and arrange them in question order number.
Your answers should engage these questions at the conceptual level and use specific examples from the media histories we have covered this semester to support your arguments. A target range for this essay response is probably in the 1,200-2,000 word range.
Essay 1
In the first part of the Media Histories course, we have repeatedly turned to Benedict Anderson’s argument about imagined communities:
I propose the following definition of the nation: it is an imagined political community – and imagined as both inherently limited and sovereign.
It is imagined because the members of even the smallest nation will never know most of their fellow-members, meet them, or even hear of them, yet in the minds of each lives the image of their communication…

Introduction
Early attempts at quality efforts were limited to the resources, knowledge, and environment in which health care services and treatment were rendered. As medical education and research advanced so did the knowledge of and focus on quality improvement efforts. Basic functions including handwashing and sterile environments were two of the many simple advancements resulting in dramatic improvements in outcomes and overall quality.
Regulatory agencies have directly impacted health care organizations' focus on, and attention to, quality improvement. Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission offers accreditation to various health care organizations who demonstrate compliance with established regulatory standards. Combined with various government agencies, initiatives have been implemented that require health care organizations to report on quality measures, thereby making their quality performance transparent throughout the industry.
As a leader in the health care industry, understanding historical perspectives of quality, regulatory oversight, and medical malpractice will allow you to effectively lead your organization to meet or exceed its strategic goals related to improved outcomes, increased reimbursements, and reduced cost.

Criticism
“Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person’s precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment. …. Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain—and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.”
People are Emotional
“When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.”
The Key to Influencing Others
“The only way on earth to influence other people is to talk about what they want and show them how to get it.”
The Secret of Success
“If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see things from that person’s angle as well as from your own.”

Problem-Solving Application Case—
Incentives Gone Wrong, then Wrong
Again, and Wrong Again
The Wells Fargo scandal demonstrates how a company’s choice and implementation of performance management incentives can have
disastrous side effects. This activity is important because it illustrates why managers must never implement an incentive scheme without
considering as much as possible any and all effects that it may have on employees’ behavior.
The goal of this activity is for you to understand the link between the details of Wells Fargo’s incentive scheme and the employee behaviors that
resulted from it.
Read about how performance incentives led to scandal at Wells Fargo. Then, using the three-step problem-solving approach, answer the
questions that follow.
Money is an important tool for both attracting and motivating talent. If you owned a company or were its CEO, you would likely agree and
choose performance management practices to deliver such outcomes. It also is possible you’d use incentives to help align your employees’
interests, behaviors, and performance with those of the company. After all, countless companies have used incentives very successfully, but not
all. The incentives used by Wells Fargo had disastrous consequences for employees, customers, and the company itself.

Lesson Introduction
After reading this week’s materials, you will be able to define the role of police patrol and its importance as applied to law enforcement intelligence.
Lesson Objectives
● Outline and discuss early police and patrol procedures
● Evaluate modern patrol allocations
Course Objectives that apply to this lesson:
CO: (3) Demonstrate an understanding of the history of police patrol procedures from the days of early policing to modern day policing allocations.
Patrol
There are many ways to determine the best way to allocate patrol resources in a community. Some of them are covered in our studies but that is not the whole story. Keep in mind that it is more likely to be a combination of models as well as a sensitivity to specific to regional and demographic considerations.
It is important to take many variables into consideration when determining how best to utilize patrols. At the same time, we must remember to expect the unexpected and be as prepared as possible to respond. No two situations, weeks, months, or years will ever be exactly the same. This is part of what makes a career in criminal justice such a challenge and also so rewarding.
In the early 1900’s and before the work of August Vollmer, there was not much information concerning police allocation. Vollmer created a list of police functions such as crime prevention, criminal investigation, traffic control, and patrol. In the early deployment allocation models, the police were distributed based on calls for service and officer workloads. Although what appeared to be effective at the time, more research began to see potential issues with this model such as police saturation may cause a higher number of arrests. Other departments in this time frame distributed patrol units evenly without taking into account other factors such as crimes, population, distance, or number of personnel.
Preventative Patrol
As police operations moved forward, other methods of deployment emerged. In the 1960’s, law enforcement professional started to shift focus on preventative patrol methods. As discussed in previous lessons, t ...
· What does the Goodale and Humphrey (1998) article mean by the fLesleyWhitesidefv
The document discusses a 1998 article by Goodale and Humphrey that proposed vision has two separate but interacting functions - perception and action control. It argues that separate visual systems have evolved for perception (the ventral stream) and action control (the dorsal stream), which differs from Ungerleider and Mishkin's 1982 theory that proposed one unified visual system. The document provides evidence from studies of "rewired" frogs to support the existence of separate visuomotor modules for different behaviors. It suggests this duplex approach means reconstructive and purposive views of vision are complementary rather than mutually exclusive.

Worldview & Decision-Making
The sudden neurological injury that is not likely to recover puts the person in denial if the person is somewhat conscious. It is hard to accept for even family that sudden change in care given stage. Those patients have physical problems like paralysis of facial muscles or losing sensation in the face, altered sense of smell or taste, loss of vision, swallowing difficulties, dizziness, ringing in the ear, and hearing loss. They also have altered consciousness, intellectual problems, cognitive problems, Executive functioning problems, communication problems, behavioral changes, emotional changes, sensory problems, and degenerative issues.
The majority of persons who have suffered substantial brain damage will need rehabilitation. They may have to relearn basic abilities like walking and to talk. The objective is to increase their ability to carry out everyday tasks. Rehabilitation includes a group of people who master different specialties to help patients maintain living activity. An occupational therapist, who supports the person learning, relearn or improving skills to perform everyday activities—a physical therapist who helps with mobility and relearning movement patterns, balance, and walking. The social worker or case manager facilitates access to service agencies, assists with care decisions and planning, and facilitates communication among various professionals, care providers, and family members. A rehabilitation nurse assists with discharge planning from a hospital or rehabilitation center by providing continuous rehabilitation care and services. Speech and language therapist supports the person to improve communication skills and use assistive communication devices if necessary. A recreational therapist helps the patient with Time management and leisure activities. We can also use music therapy and aroma therapy to relax patients who face incurable health conditions.

Values and Moral Survey of Students
SCORING AND INTERPRETATION: If trying to rank in order these fifteen values and morals was difficult and you felt that it was somewhat arbitrary; it was. Without the proper context, exact meaning of each, and the problem of one concept being like others, everyone gets frustrated with this exercise. To be sure, this exercise does not tell you what your real morals or values are. Rather, it is a crude representation of what they might be. At the end of the simulation, compare what you ranked as important to what your decisions were. The following are vague descriptions of the fifteen values and morals:
ASSISTANCE: The act of helping or assisting someone or the help supplied.
CANDOR: Freedom from prejudice or malice.
CHARACTER: Someone with moral excellence.
CHARITY: Generosity and helpfulness, especially toward the needy or suffering.
COMPASSION: Sympathetic consciousness of others' distress with a desire to alleviate it.
ENVIRONMENT: Concern about the world's resources (land, water, air).
EXACTING IN TRUTH: Rigid or severe in demands or requirements.
FAIRNESS: Free from bias or injustice; evenhandedness.
HONESTY: Sincerity, frankness, freedom from deceit or fraud.
INTEGRITY: Firm adherence to a code of values; incorruptibility.
PERSEVERANCE: To do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition.
SACRIFICE: Surrender of something for the sake of something else.
SERIOUSNESS: Thoughtful in appearance or manner; requiring much thought or work relating to a matter of importance.
TOLERANCE: Sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own.
TRUTHFULNESS: Corresponding with reality.

You could strengthen your plan by including the specific communication plan, assessment tools, and evaluation rubrics that you would use with the students. You mentioned generalities of instruction, but you did not include the specifics of how instruction would be implemented. What does "Pragmatic practices on basic principles of engineering statics" mean? How is this taught? What does this look like? Your assessment should be presented. For example, you noted that "Theoretical studies to be evaluate through continuous assessment exams (CAT) which should be administered twice in a semester.."

Competencies Addressed in This Assignment
· Competency 3: Articulate how terrorism impacts policy and operations of law enforcement in America.
· Competency 5: Communicate effectively in a variety of formats.
Overview
During your past briefings to Chief Glen Edwards, several in the command staff have mentioned the need in the department for more equipment. Your readings and investigation into the response to terrorism have led you to understand that the federal government has programs where local police agencies can obtain equipment. The chief understands that there are benefits and problems with any choice, so he has asked you to create a presentation for the command staff. He wants it to address the benefits they should expect, as well as the problems this equipment can bring with it.
Instructions
Create a PowerPoint presentation for the command staff that includes the following components:
· Specify three types of military equipment or arms that are available through the federal government for local law enforcement.
· Contrast two positive and negative results associated with types of military equipment or arms that are available through the federal government for local law enforcement.
· Describe negative images caused by types of military equipment or arms that are available through the federal government for local law enforcement.
· Explain why the public may have concerns about the negative images this military equipment or arms may cause (for example, in the perception of the militarization of the police).
Requirements
· Length: Include an introduction slide, 8–10 information slides, and a references slide.

Primary Care Nurse practitioner (NP) Role vs. APN Roles
Compare the primary care NP role with other APN roles. What are the similarities among the roles, what are the differences, and how would you communicate the role to a healthcare provider and a consumer?
The advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) has different roles and responsibilities that nurses can undertake depending on the nature of their training. An APRN can also be referred to as a nurse practitioner (NP). There are other designated roles other than the NP such as the clinical nurse specialist (CNS), the certified nurse-midwives (CNM), and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) (Everett et al., 2016). These roles have similarities and differences and many cases of overlapping responsibilities and in some cases, the need for collaboration to achieve the desired patient outcomes. The primary care NP is a specific role within the purview of NPs in which the provider is a general practitioner without any specialty training (Butler et al., 2017). The NP has roles such as completing patient assessments including conducting a physical examination. The primary care NP can also undertake diagnostic approaches such as ordering lab works and imaging procedures and providing appropriate interpretation. The NP can provide treatment and monitoring of the patient and also provide health education and other primary prevention measures.
One similarity of the role of primary NP to other APRN roles is that they have the scope to conduct independent patient assessments. All roles of the APRN have the scope of taking the patient's history, conducting a proper physical exam, and ensuring an appropriate differential diagnosis (Phillips, 2016). The APRN has completed competencies in the assessment of the patient and he/she can use these competencies to determine and fulfill patient needs. Another similarity of the role of the primary care NP to other APRNs is the role of providing patient education, mentoring, and advocating for the needs of the patient (Hanks et al., 2018). Each APRN has a responsibility to empower the patient by providing health education about their condition or the treatment process to support their autonomy. The patient is the primary decision-maker in the clinical area and providing them with education supports their ability to make proper healthcare decisions.
The role of the primary care NP is different from the role of certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) in the sense of anesthesia and pain management. The CRNA is a specialist in pre, intra and post-operative pain and anesthesia management and this is a role that the NP does not have scope for (Butler et al., 2017). Th ...

Let’s focus on the unstandardized regression coefficients in the
output. Each coefficient will indicate how that particular group
compares to the reference category (e.g., married) on the
dependent variable. The coefficient reflects the comparison
between the mean value of the dependent variable for the
reference category and the mean value for the group represented
by that particular coefficient. For example, first, take a look at
the unstandardized regression coefficient for “divorced” (-
1.239). This value reflects how the divorced group compares to
the married group on religious attendance and indicates that the
mean religious attendance for the divorced group is 1.239 units
11. lower than that for the married group.
A few more things about the output:
If you subtract the mean for divorced (3.09) from the mean for
married (4.33), you can see that you get the absolute value of
the coefficient for the divorced variable: 4.33 – 3.09 = 1.24. (If
you round 1.239, you get 1.24.)

married (4.33), you can see that you get the absolute value of
the coefficient for the divorced variable: 4.33 – 3.09 = 1.24. (If
you round 1.239, you get 1.24.)
If the value had been positive (1.239 instead of -1.239), it
would indicate that the divorced group had a higher mean than
the married group on the dependent variable.

Similar to when you are interpreting the coefficients for
continuous predictor variables in a regression model, the
difference between the reference category and the indicated
group is only considered to be statistically significant if the p-
value is less than alpha. In our results above, if we assume an
alpha of .05 (or even .01), each predictor would be statistically
significant, indicating that each group (divorced, never married)
differs from the reference category of married on the dependent
variable.

indicate stronger effects.

Take a look now at the unstandardized regression coefficient for
never married (-1.19). What would be an appropriate
interpretation of this value?

Topic 2 of 5
Learning Objective:
Interpret regression models with dummy-coded variables.
How to Create Dummy-Coded Variables
Dummy-coded variables are created by only using the values of
0 and 1. The general rule used for dummy coding is that you
need one (1) fewer dummy-coded variables than you have
groups (# total groups – 1). So, for our variable of marital
status, we would need two (2) dummy-coded variables because
we have chosen to focus on three (3) marital status groups (3 –
2 = 1). The group for which we do not create a dummy-coded
variable is typically called the reference category. Often the
reference category will be the one that researchers want to
compare to other groups. For our research, we might choose
“married” as our reference category if we want to compare non-
married individuals to married individuals.
Before we conduct our regression analyses in SPSS, then, we
18. will need to create two (2) dummy-coded variables for marital
status:one variable for the divorced group one variable for the
never-married group
We will use a 1 to indicate membership to that category (e.g., to
indicate that someone is divorced for the “divorced” dummy-
coded variable) and 0 to indicate non-membership.
The table below shows how we would dummy-code our marital
status variables.
Notice the Following
If the original value for an individual’s marital status is a 1
(indicating married), that individual would have a 0 for the
“divorced” variable and a 0 for the “never married” variable.
This is because they are not a “member” of either of these
groups, they are not divorced, and they are not in the never-
married category. This same logic holds for the remaining two
(2) values of marital status. If an individual is divorced, they
get a 1 for the divorced group, for example, and a 0 for the
never-married group.
Also, note that each individual in the data set will have a value
(either a 0 or a 1) for each dummy-coded variable that the
researcher creates.
Suppose the researcher decides to add an additional marital
status group (separated), so that she now has the following
marital status groups: married, divorced, never married, and
separated.
Hint: Count the number of groups you have and subtract 1.
How many dummy-coded variables would the researcher need
to create for her regression model?

You have had plenty of practice with data analysis in the
Discussions and hopefully you have received helpful and
22. encouraging feedback from your colleagues. Now, for the last
time in the course, it is time once again to put all of that good
practice to use and answer a social research question using
categorical statistical tools. As you begin the Assignment, be
sure and pay close attention to the assumptions of the test.
Specifically, make sure the variables are categorical level
variables.
For this Assignment, you will consider three different scenarios.
Each of these scenarios include a research question. You will
examine each scenario, choose a categorical data analysis and
run a sample test.
To prepare for this Assignment:
· Review Chapters 10 and 11 of the Frankfort-Nachmias &
Leon-Guerrero course text and the media program found in this
week’s Learning Resources related to bivariate categorical tests.
· Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset
found in this week’s Learning Resources.
· Next, review the Chi Square Scenarios found in this week’s
Learning Resources and consider each research scenario for this
Assignment.
· Based on the dataset you chose and for each research scenario
provided, using the SPSS software, choose a categorical data
analysis and run a sample test.
· Once you perform your categorical data analysis, review
Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and
paste your output into your Word document.
For this Assignment:
Write a 1- to 2-paragraph analysis of your categorical data
results for each research scenario. If you are using the
Afrobarometer Dataset, report the mean of Q1 (Age). In your
analysis, display the data for the output. Based on your results,
provide an explanation of what the implications of social
change might be.

Week Eleven: Final Assignment
Posted on: Saturday, August 6, 2022 7:44:43 AM EDT
Please consider the following as a general guide of what is
expected within all assignments:
- Title Page [see Walden University Template for formatting].
- Introduction [required]: When drafting a formal, scholarly or
academic paper alway start with an introduction. The
introduction immediately orients any audience to the paper's
purpose. IE: The following is a selection of articles on fair
hiring practices. Each source will be annotated to inform an
audience of the general focus and scope of the sources.......
24. - Articles [if a bibliography] each article or research source is
listed by formal reference. Immediately thereafter, the author of
the bibliography gives a concise overview of the article and/or
reference's content and purpose [one paragraph]. The
bibliography continues with what the writer has gleamed from
the source as relevant to the paper's purpose [see introduction
above].
OR
-Content [assignments other than annotated bibliographies]
using APA formatted headings, hold the hand of your audience
assisting through topical transitions allowing them to follow
and anticipate.
- Summary [required]: having considered a topic, looking at
varied sources to learn about the topic synthesize the sources
into a few summary statements. Continuing with the
example: The selection and review of articles on fair hiring
practices makes evident some of the most common errors to
avoid are.....OR...a couple of statements threading together what
has been learned by your scholastic engagement of the content.
PRONOUNS: Note in the above instructions not a single
demonstrative or personal pronouns appears.Overuse of
pronouns is considered a potential "...affront to clarity an can
exclude a passive audience (APA 7.0)."
APA Tutorial: Do not lose valuable points in grading by
excluding core elements or avoiding headings necessary to
facilitate audience access or by including pronouns limiting
and/or prohibiting audience access. Please focus upon the
misuse/overuse of pronouns considered an "affront" upon clarity
with academic/scientific/formal writing. Pronouns potentially
exclude your audience and unnecessarily conceal critical
content. Take a look at an example;
WRONG: This information was prepared to make clear that
those critical polices of the agency you must follow when hiring
somebody..
RIGHT: The brief, informational brochure presents the
mandatory policies of the Federal Office of Discrimination
25. when engaging hiring processes.

Week Eleven: Assignment Guidance
Posted on: Saturday, August 6, 2022 7:42:38 AM EDT
Almost there!
During the upcoming week the final assignment reads:
Use SPSS to answer the research question. Post your response
to the following:
What is your research question?
What is the null hypothesis for your question?
What research design would align with this question?
What dependent variable was used and how is it measured?
What independent variable is used and how is it measured?
If you found significance, what is the strength of the effect?
Explain your results for a lay audience and further explain what
the answer is to your research question.
Use the list of questions to self-audit the final product before
submitting to make sure all elements are evident.
Be sure to support your Main Post and Response Post with
reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly
evidence in APA Style.
After engaging several, isolated exercises within quantitative
statistics, the week's assignment asks you to bring all learned
content home!The responses to the questions above, formatted
into sound paragraphs, will look like what would one expect to
read in a formal proposal under methodology. After identifying
a statement of the problem and a proposed purpose, the answers
would introduce a proposed action plan and a defense of the
statistical method selected to a universal audience.
NOTE: while adhering to solid statistical method, the questions
compel you to write a clear, concise and comprehensive
response accessible to any universal audience. There should be,
in the end, no questions. You are the expert communicating
26. effectively to those without substantive experience in the social
sciences.
CAUTIONS [issues discussed both in discussion threads and
within personal assignment feedback]:
- no visual data output displays should be listed one after
another.
- dedicated explanatory texts should be sufficient as to
allow any passive audience to anticipate, access and understand
the data output display that follows.
- the product of a "model Summary" should not appear within
the final document. Instead, if necessary to engage, the nominal
values of the model summery should be offered narratively not
visually.
- no topical sentence should begin with a conjunction or
demonstrative pronoun.
- avoid phrases such as: "It is important that...". "It is critical
that..." or "It is imperative that..."

Week Ten: Dummy Variables
Posted on: Friday, July 29, 2022 9:50:18 AM EDT
Sometimes, by creative constructs [drafting and using
responsible assumptions] a researcher can manipulate data sets
to provide more insights [dummy variables].
In social science, many of the predictor variables a researcher
may want to use are inherently quantitative and measured
categorically (i.e., race, gender, political party affiliation, etc.).
During week 10, you will learn how to use categorical variables
within multiple regression models.
Having now discussed the benefits of multiple regression, we
have been reticent about what can go wrong in our models. For
models to provide accurate estimates, we must adhere to a set of
assumptions. You have had plenty of opportunity to interpret
27. coefficients for metric variables in regression models. Using
and interpreting categorical variables takes just a little bit of
extra practice. In this Discussion, you will have the opportunity
to practice how to recode categorical variables [dummy] so they
can be used in a regression model and how to properly interpret
the coefficients.
A dummy variable is a numerical variable used within
regression analyses to represent subgroups of the sample within
a study. In research design, a dummy variable is often used to
distinguish different treatment groups. In the simplest case, we
would use a (0,1) dummy variable where a person is given a
value of 0 if in the control group or a 1 if in the treated group.
Dummy variables are useful because they enable a single
regression equation to represent multiple groups: meaning no
need to write out separate equation models for each subgroup.
Further, social scientists often need to work with categorical
variables in which the different values have no real numeri cal
relationship with each other. Examples include variables for
race, political affiliation, or marital status. If you have a
variable for political affiliation with possible responses
including Democrat, Independent, and Republican, it obviously
doesn't make sense to assign values of (1 - 3) and interpret, by
error, that a Republican is somehow three times more politically
affiliated then a Democrat. The solution is to use a dummy
variable(s) with only two values, zero and one. By creating a
variable called "Republican" and assign the group a 1
indicating, simply, members are "Republican" and all others
within the study are not.
The decision to code a level is often arbitrary but must be
responsible [makes sense]. The level which is not coded is the
category to which all other categories will be compared. As
such, often the biggest group will be the not-coded category.
For example, often "Caucasian" will be the not-coded group if
the race of most participants in the sample. Following, if you
have a variable called "Asian", the coefficient on the "Asian"
variable in your regression will show the effect being Asian
28. rather than Caucasian has on your dependent variable.
