In Part 3 of the Course Project, you consider how the evidence you gathered during Part 2 can be translated into nursing practice.
Now that you have located available research on your PICOT question, you will examine what the research indicates about nursing practices. Connecting research evidence and findings to actual decisions and tasks that nurses complete in their daily practice is essentially what evidence-based practice is all about. This final component of the Course Project asks you to translate the evidence and data from your literature review into authentic practices that can be adopted to improve health care outcomes. In addition, you will also consider possible methods and strategies for disseminating evidence-based practices to your colleagues and to the broader health care field.
To prepare:
Consider Parts 1 and 2 of your Course Project. How does the research address your PICOT question?
With your PICOT question in mind, identify at least one nursing practice that is supported by the evidence in two or more of the articles from your literature review. Consider what the evidence indicates about how this practice contributes to better outcomes.
Explore possible consequences of failing to adopt the evidence-based practice that you identified.
Consider how you would disseminate information about this evidence-based practice throughout your organization or practice setting. How would you communicate the importance of the practice?
To complete:
In a 3- to 4-page paper:
Restate your PICOT question and its significance to nursing practice.
Summarize the findings from the articles you selected for your literature review. Describe at least one nursing practice that is supported by the evidence in the articles. Justify your response with specific references to at least 2 of the articles.
Explain how the evidence-based practice that you identified contributes to better outcomes. In addition, identify potential negative outcomes that could result from failing to use the evidence-based practice.
Outline the strategy for disseminating the evidence-based practice that you identified throughout your practice setting. Explain how you would communicate the importance of the practice to your colleagues. Describe how you would move from disseminating the information to implementing the evidence-based practice within your organization. How would you address concerns and opposition to the change in practice?It should be combined with the other two components of the Course Project and turned in as your Portfolio Assignment for this course.

DIRECTIONS
The first step of the EBP process is to develop a question from the nursing practice problem of interest.
Select a practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research.
Start with the patient and identify the clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care.
Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT statement in your selected practice problem area of interest, which is applicable to your proposed capstone project.
The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).
Conduct a literature search to locate research articles focused on your selected practice problem of interest. This literature search should include both quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your practice problem.
Select six peer-reviewed research articles which will be utilized through the next 5 weeks as reference sources. Be sure that some of the articles use qualitative research and that some use quantitative research. Create a reference list in which the six articles are listed. Beneath each reference include the article's abstract. The completed assignment should have a title page and a reference list with abstracts.
Suggestions for locating qualitative and quantitative research articles from credible sources:
1. Use a library database such as CINAHL Complete for your search.
2. Using the advanced search page check the box beside "Research Article" in the "Limit Your Results" section.
3. When setting up the search you can type your topic in the top box, then add quantitative or qualitative as a search term in one of the lower boxes. Research articles often are described as qualitative or quantitative.
To narrow/broaden your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Task
Background:
The Commonwealth Government of Australia is launching ‘My Health Record’ a secure online summary of an individual’s health information.
Available to all Australians, My Health Record is an electronic summary of an individual’s key health information, drawn from their existing records and is designed to be integrated into existing local clinical systems.
The ‘My Health Record’ is driven by the need for the Health Industry to continue a process of reform to drive efficiencies into the health care system, improve the quality of patient care, whilst reducing several issues that were apparent from the lack of important information that is shared about patients e.g. reducing the rate of hospital admissions due to issues with prescribed medications. This reform is critical to address the escalating costs of healthcare that become unsustainable in the medium to long term.
Individuals will control what goes into their My Health Record, and who is allowed to access it. An individual’s My Health Record allows them and their doctors, hospitals and other healthcare providers to view and share the individual’s health information to provide the best possible care.
*Please Note: This is a real project that has already been implemented, however, for this assessment you are to write your answer as if the project is in its’ the early stages. There is wide variety of information that can be referenced on this topic.
Complete the Following
You are a Systems Analyst that is part of a project that is being currently being proposed, ‘My Health Record’, your task is to develop a Vision Document for this project.
Currently funding is being sought to build the ‘My Health Record’ system. We will assume that the funding has been approved and that you are the business systems analyst assigned to the project.
You are to describe the problem in your own words, and the capabilities and benefits. You need to create a Project Vision Document which contains:
Problem
Capabilities

(a) Thrasymachus’ (the sophist’s) definition of Justice or Right o.docxAASTHA76
(a) Thrasymachus’ (the sophist’s) definition of Justice or Right or Right Doing/Living is “The Interest of the Stronger (Might makes Right).” How does Socrates refute this definition? (cite just
one
of his arguments) [cf:
The Republic
, 30-40, Unit 1 Lecture Video]
(b) According to Socrates, what is the true definition of Justice or Right? [cf:
The Republic
, 141-42, Unit 2 Lecture Video]
(c) And why therefore is the Just life far preferable to the Unjust life (142-43)?
(a) The Allegory of the CAVE (the main metaphor of western philosophy) is an illustration of the Divided LINE.
Characterize
the Two Worlds, and the move/ascent from one to the other (exiting the CAVE, crossing the Divided LINE)—which is alone the true meaning of Education and the only way to become Just, Right, and Immortal. [cf:
The Republic
, 227-232, Unit 3 Lecture Video]
(b) How do the philosophical Studies of
Arithmetic
(number) and
Dialectic
take you above the Divided Line and out of the changing sense-world of illusion (the CAVE) into Reality and make you use your Reason (pure thought) instead of your senses? [cf:
The Republic
, 235-37, 240-42, 250-55. Unit 4 Lecture Video (transcript)]
Give a summary of the
Proof of the Force
(Why there is the “Universe,” “Man,” “God,” “History,” etc)? Start with, “Can there be

(Glossary of Telemedicine and eHealth)
· Teleconsultation: Consultation between a provider and specialist at distance using either store and forward telemedicine or real time videoconferencing.
· Telehealth and Telemedicine: Telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve patients' health status. Closely associated with telemedicine is the term "telehealth," which is often used to encompass a broader definition of remote healthcare that does not always involve clinical services. Videoconferencing, transmission of still images, e-health including patient portals, remote monitoring of vital signs, continuing medical education and nursing call centers are all considered part of telemedicine and telehealth. Telemedicine is not a separate medical specialty. Products and services related to telemedicine are often part of a larger investment by health care institutions in either information technology or the delivery of clinical care. Even in the reimbursement fee structure, there is usually no distinction made between services provided on site and those provided through telemedicine and often no separate coding required for billing of remote services. Telemedicine encompasses different types of programs and services provided for the patient. Each component involves different providers and consumers.
· TeleICU: TeleICU is a collaborative, interprofessional model focusing on the care of critically ill patients using telehealth technologies.

(Assmt 1; Week 3 paper): Using ecree Doing the paper and submitting it (two pages here)
Have this sheet handy as well as the sheet called FORMAT SAMPLE PAPER for Assignment 1.
1. Go to the Week 3 unit and find the blue link ASSIGNMENT 1: DEALING WITH DIVERSITY…. Click on it.
2. You will see instructions on the screen and at the top “Assignment 1: ecree”. Click on that to enter ecree.
3. You will see some summary of the assignment instructions at the top of the screen—scroll down to see the three long, blank, rectangular boxes. You will be typing into those. Remember—do not worry about a title page or double spacing. Start composing your paragraphs. It will start as a rough draft.
4. As you start typing your introduction—notice on the right that comments start developing and also video links. Also on the right you will it say “Saved a Few seconds ago”. It is saving as you go. At first the comments are red (unfavorable). The more you do, usually the more green (favorable) comments start to appear. You can also keep revising.
5. When you hit the enter key it takes you to the next paragraph box—and sometimes it creates a new paragraph box for you.
6. Doing your Sources list in ecree—Your sources do have to be listed at the end. The FORMAT SAMPLE paper illustrates what they might look like. But, putting them in ecree gracefully can be a challenge.
a. Perhaps the best way is this: Have the last regular paragraph of your essay (Part 4) be in the box labeled “Conclusion”. Once that paragraph is written—in whole or in part, do this: Click on the word “Conclusion” to form a following paragraph box marked by three dots. Keep doing that and put each source in its own “three-dot” box. In other words, after your Conclusion paragraph—the heading “Sources” gets its own paragraph box at the end, followed by separate paragraph boxes for each source entry.
b. If the approach labeled “a” above is not working out, don’t worry about the external labels of those last paragraph boxes---just be sure to have a concluding paragraph (your Part 4) followed by paragraphs for the Sources header and each source entry. In grading, I will be able to figure it out. I will be lenient on how you organize that last part, as long as you have that last paragraph and a clear Sources list.
------------------------------------
UPLOAD OPTION: You can type your paper or a good rough draft of it into MS-Word as a file. Have it organized and laid out like the FORMAT SAMPLE paper. Then Upload it to ecree. Once you upload, take a little time and edit what uploaded so that it looks like what you intended and fits the 4-part organization of the assignment.
-----------------------
7. Click “Submit” on lower right only when absolutely ready. Once you submit, it will get graded.
Have fun! (see next page for a few notes and comments on ecree)

DIRECTIONS
The first step of the EBP process is to develop a question from the nursing practice problem of interest.
Select a practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research.
Start with the patient and identify the clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care.
Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT statement in your selected practice problem area of interest, which is applicable to your proposed capstone project.
The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).
Conduct a literature search to locate research articles focused on your selected practice problem of interest. This literature search should include both quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your practice problem.
Select six peer-reviewed research articles which will be utilized through the next 5 weeks as reference sources. Be sure that some of the articles use qualitative research and that some use quantitative research. Create a reference list in which the six articles are listed. Beneath each reference include the article's abstract. The completed assignment should have a title page and a reference list with abstracts.
Suggestions for locating qualitative and quantitative research articles from credible sources:
1. Use a library database such as CINAHL Complete for your search.
2. Using the advanced search page check the box beside "Research Article" in the "Limit Your Results" section.
3. When setting up the search you can type your topic in the top box, then add quantitative or qualitative as a search term in one of the lower boxes. Research articles often are described as qualitative or quantitative.
To narrow/broaden your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Task
Background:
The Commonwealth Government of Australia is launching ‘My Health Record’ a secure online summary of an individual’s health information.
Available to all Australians, My Health Record is an electronic summary of an individual’s key health information, drawn from their existing records and is designed to be integrated into existing local clinical systems.
The ‘My Health Record’ is driven by the need for the Health Industry to continue a process of reform to drive efficiencies into the health care system, improve the quality of patient care, whilst reducing several issues that were apparent from the lack of important information that is shared about patients e.g. reducing the rate of hospital admissions due to issues with prescribed medications. This reform is critical to address the escalating costs of healthcare that become unsustainable in the medium to long term.
Individuals will control what goes into their My Health Record, and who is allowed to access it. An individual’s My Health Record allows them and their doctors, hospitals and other healthcare providers to view and share the individual’s health information to provide the best possible care.
*Please Note: This is a real project that has already been implemented, however, for this assessment you are to write your answer as if the project is in its’ the early stages. There is wide variety of information that can be referenced on this topic.

(a) Thrasymachus’ (the sophist’s) definition of Justice or Right or Right Doing/Living is “The Interest of the Stronger (Might makes Right).” How does Socrates refute this definition? (cite just
one
of his arguments) [cf:
The Republic
, 30-40, Unit 1 Lecture Video]
(b) According to Socrates, what is the true definition of Justice or Right? [cf:
The Republic
, 141-42, Unit 2 Lecture Video]
(c) And why therefore is the Just life far preferable to the Unjust life (142-43)?
(a) The Allegory of the CAVE (the main metaphor of western philosophy) is an illustration of the Divided LINE.
Characterize
the Two Worlds, and the move/ascent from one to the other (exiting the CAVE, crossing the Divided LINE)—which is alone the true meaning of Education and the only way to become Just, Right, and Immortal. [cf:
The Republic

(b) How do the philosophical Studies of
Arithmetic
(number) and
Dialectic
take you above the Divided Line and out of the changing sense-world of illusion (the CAVE) into Reality and make you use your Reason (pure thought) instead of your senses? [cf:

(Glossary of Telemedicine and eHealth)
· Teleconsultation: Consultation between a provider and specialist at distance using either store and forward telemedicine or real time videoconferencing.
· Telehealth and Telemedicine: Telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve patients' health status. Closely associated with telemedicine is the term "telehealth," which is often used to encompass a broader definition of remote healthcare that does not always involve clinical services. Videoconferencing, transmission of still images, e-health including patient portals, remote monitoring of vital signs, continuing medical education and nursing call centers are all considered part of telemedicine and telehealth. Telemedicine is not a separate medical specialty. Products and services related to telemedicine are often part of a larger investment by health care institutions in either information technology or the delivery of clinical care. Even in the reimbursement fee structure, there is usually no distinction made between services provided on site and those provided through telemedicine and often no separate coding required for billing of remote services. Telemedicine encompasses different types of programs and services provided for the patient. Each component involves different providers and consumers.
· TeleICU: TeleICU is a collaborative, interprofessional model focusing on the care of critically ill patients using telehealth technologies.
· Telemonitoring: The process of using audio, video, and other telecommunications and electronic information processing technologies to monitor the health status of a patient from a distance.
· Telemonitoring: The process of using audio, video, and other telecommunications and electronic information processing technologies to monitor the health status of a patient from a distance.
· Clinical Decision Support System (CCDS): Systems (usually electronically based and interactive) that provide clinicians, staff, patients, and other individuals with knowledge and person-specific information, intelligently filtered and presented at appropriate times, to enhance health and health care. (http://healthit.ahrq.gov/images/jun09cdsreview/09_0069_ef.html)
· e-Prescribing: The electronic generation, transmission and filling of a medical prescription, as opposed to traditional paper and faxed prescriptions. E-prescribing allows for qualified healthcare personnel to transmit a new prescription or renewal authorization to a community or mail-order pharmacy.
· Home Health Care and Remote Monitoring Systems: Care provided to individuals and families in their place of residence for promoting, maintaining, or restoring health or for minimizing the effects of disability and illness, including terminal illness. In the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey and Medicare claims and enrollment data, home health care refers to home visits by professionals including nu.

(Assmt 1; Week 3 paper): Using ecree Doing the paper and submitting it (two pages here)
Have this sheet handy as well as the sheet called FORMAT SAMPLE PAPER for Assignment 1.
1. Go to the Week 3 unit and find the blue link ASSIGNMENT 1: DEALING WITH DIVERSITY…. Click on it.
2. You will see instructions on the screen and at the top “Assignment 1: ecree”. Click on that to enter ecree.
3. You will see some summary of the assignment instructions at the top of the screen—scroll down to see the three long, blank, rectangular boxes. You will be typing into those. Remember—do not worry about a title page or double spacing. Start composing your paragraphs. It will start as a rough draft.
4. As you start typing your introduction—notice on the right that comments start developing and also video links. Also on the right you will it say “Saved a Few seconds ago”. It is saving as you go. At first the comments are red (unfavorable). The more you do, usually the more green (favorable) comments start to appear. You can also keep revising.
5. When you hit the enter key it takes you to the next paragraph box—and sometimes it creates a new paragraph box for you.
6. Doing your Sources list in ecree—Your sources do have to be listed at the end. The FORMAT SAMPLE paper illustrates what they might look like. But, putting them in ecree gracefully can be a challenge.
a. Perhaps the best way is this: Have the last regular paragraph of your essay (Part 4) be in the box labeled “Conclusion”. Once that paragraph is written—in whole or in part, do this: Click on the word “Conclusion” to form a following paragraph box marked by three dots. Keep doing that and put each source in its own “three-dot” box. In other words, after your Conclusion paragraph—the heading “Sources” gets its own paragraph box at the end, followed by separate paragraph boxes for each source entry.
b. If the approach labeled “a” above is not working out, don’t worry about the external labels of those last paragraph boxes---just be sure to have a concluding paragraph (your Part 4) followed by paragraphs for the Sources header and each source entry. In grading, I will be able to figure it out. I will be lenient on how you organize that last part, as long as you have that last paragraph and a clear Sources list.
------------------------------------
UPLOAD OPTION: You can type your paper or a good rough draft of it into MS-Word as a file. Have it organized and laid out like the FORMAT SAMPLE paper. Then Upload it to ecree. Once you upload, take a little time and edit what uploaded so that it looks like what you intended and fits the 4-part organization of the assignment.
-----------------------
7. Click “Submit” on lower right only when absolutely ready. Once you submit, it will get graded.
Have fun! (see next page for a few notes and comments on ecree)

(chapter taken from Learning Power)
From Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work
JEAN ANYON
It's no surprise that schools in wealthy communities are better than those in poor communities, or that they better prepare their students for
desirable jobs. It may be shocking, however, to learn how vast the differences in schools are - not so much in resources as in teaching methods
and philosophies of education. Jean Anyon observed five elementary schools over the course of a full school year and concluded that fifth-
graders of different economic backgrounds are already being prepared to occupy particular rungs on the social ladder. In a sense, some whole
schools are on the vocational education track, while others are geared to produce future doctors, lawyers, and business leaders. Anyon's main
audience is professional educators, so you may find her style and vocabulary challenging, but, once you've read her descriptions of specific
classroom activities, the more analytic parts of the essay should prove easier to understand. Anyon is chairperson of the Department of
Education at Rutgers University, Newark; This essay first appeared in Journal of Education in 1980.
Scholars in political economy and the sociology of knowledge have recently argued that public schools in complex industrial societies like our
own make available different types of educational experience and curriculum knowledge to students in different social classes. Bowles and
Gintis1 for example, have argued that students in different social-class backgrounds are rewarded for classroom behaviors that correspond to
personality traits allegedly rewarded in the different occupational strata--the working classes for docility and obedience, the managerial classes
for initiative and personal assertiveness. Basil Bernstein, Pierre Bourdieu, and Michael W. Apple focusing on school knowledge, have argued
that knowledge and skills leading to social power and regard (medical, legal, managerial) are made available to the advantaged social groups but
are withheld from the working classes to whom a more "practical" curriculum is offered (manual skills, clerical knowledge). While there has
been considerable argumentation of these points regarding education in England, France, and North America, there has been little or no attempt
to investigate these ideas empirically in elementary or secondary schools and classrooms in this country.3
This article offers tentative empirical support (and qualification) of the above arguments by providing illustrative examples of differences in
student work in classrooms in contrasting social class communities. The examples were gathered as part of an ethnographical4 study of
curricular, pedagogical, and pupil evaluation practices in five elementary schools. The article attempts a theoretical contribution as well and
assesses student work in the light of a theoretical approach to social-class analysis.. . It will be suggested that there is a "hidden.

Nonprofit Photography: Ethics
and Approaches
Best practices and tips on ethics and approaches in
humanitarian photography for social impact.
The first moon landing. The Vietnamese ‘napalm girl’, running naked and in agony. The World
Trade Centers falling.
As we know, photography carries the power to inspire, educate, horrify and compel its viewers to
take action. Images evoke strong and often public emotions, as people frequently formulate their
opinions, judgments and behaviors in response to visual stimuli. Because of this, photography
can wield substantial control over public perception and discourse.
Moreover, photography in our digital age permits us to deliver complex information about
remote conditions which can be rapidly distributed and effortlessly processed by the viewer.
Recently, we’ve witnessed the profound impact of photography coupled with social media:
together, they have fueled political movements and brought down a corrupt government.
Photography can - and has - changed the course of history.
Ethical Considerations
Those who commission and create photography of marginalized populations to further an
organizations’ mission possess a tremendous responsibility. Careful ethical consideration should
be given to all aspects of the photography supply chain: its planning, creation, and distribution.
When planning a photography campaign, it is important to examine the motives for creating
particular images and their potential impact. Not only must a faithful, comprehensive visual
depiction of the subjects be created to avoid causing misconception, but more importantly, the
subjects’ dignity must be preserved. Words and images that elicit an emotional response by their
sheer shock value (e.g. starving, skeletal children covered in flies) are harmful because they
exploit the subjects’ condition in order to generate sympathy for increasing charitable donations
or support for a given cause. In addition to violating privacy and human rights, this so-called
'poverty porn’ is harmful to those it is trying to aid because it evokes the idea that the
marginalized are helpless and incapable of helping themselves, thereby cultivating a culture of
paternalism. Poverty porn is also detrimental because it is degrading, dishonoring and robs
people of their dignity. While it is important to illustrate the challenges of a population, one must
always strive to tell stories in a way that honors the subjects’ circumstances, and (ideally)
illustrates hope for their plight.
Legal issues
Legal issues are more clear cut when images are created or used in stable countries where legal
precedent for photography use has been established. Image use and creation becomes far more
murky and problematic in countries in which law and order is vague or even nonexistent.
Even though images created for no.

10 Event Trends for 2019
I am very glad to welcome you to the 8th edition of our annual
event trends. This is going to be a different one.
One element that made our event trends stand out from
the thousands of reports and articles on the topic is that we
don’t care about pleasing companies, pundits, suppliers, star
planners and the likes. Our only focus is you, the reader, to
help you navigate through very uncertain times.
This is why I decided to bring back this report, by far the most
popular in the industry, to its roots. 10 trends that will actually
materialize between now and November 2019, when we will
publish edition number nine.
I feel you have a lot going on, with your events I mean.
F&B, room blocks, sponsorship, marketing security, technology.
I think I failed you in previous editions. I think I gave you too
much. This report will be the most concise and strategic piece
of content you will need for next year.
If you don’t read anything else this year, it’s fine. As long as you
read the next few words.

// Function: void parse(char *line, char **argv)
// Purpose : This function takes in a null terminated string pointed to by
// <line>. It also takes in an array of pointers to char <argv>.
// When the function returns, the string pointed to by the
// pointer <line> has ALL of its whitespace characters (space,
// tab, and newline) turned into null characters ('\0'). The
// array of pointers to chars will be modified so that the zeroth
// slot will point to the first non-null character in the string
// pointed to by <line>, the oneth slot will point to the second
// non-null character in the string pointed to by <line>, and so
// on. In other words, each subsequent pointer in argv will point
// to each subsequent "token" (characters separated by white space)
// IN the block of memory stored at the pointer <line>. Since all
// the white space is replaced by '\0', every one of these "tokens"
// pointed to by subsequent entires of argv will be a valid string
// The "last" entry in the argv array will be set to NULL. This
// will mark the end of the tokens in the string.
//
void parse(char *line, char **argv)
{
// We will assume that the input string is NULL terminated. If it
// is not, this code WILL break. The rewriting of whitespace characters
// and the updating of pointers in argv are interleaved. Basically
// we do a while loop that will go until we run out of characters in
// the string (the outer while loop that goes until '\0'). Inside
// that loop, we interleave between rewriting white space (space, tab,
// and newline) with nulls ('\0') AND just skipping over non-whitespace.
// Note that whenever we encounter a non-whitespace character, we record
// that address in the array of address at argv and increment it. When
// we run out of tokens in the string, we make the last entry in the array
// at argv NULL. This marks the end of pointers to tokens. Easy, right?
while (*line != '\0') // outer loop. keep going until the whole string is read
{ // keep moving forward the pointer into the input string until
// we encounter a non-whitespace character. While we're at it,
// turn all those whitespace characters we're seeing into null chars.
while (*line == ' ' || *line == '\t' || *line == '\n' || *line == '\r')
{ *line = '\0';
line++;
}
// If I got this far, I MUST be looking at a non-whitespace character,
// or, the beginning of a token. So, let's record the address of this
// beginning of token to the address I'm pointing at now. (Put it in *argv)

Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America
Francis R. McAllister, Chairman

Dennis H. Chookaszian David Moody
Report of Independent Auditors
To the Executive Board of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the National Council of the Boy Scouts
of America and its affiliates (the National Council), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position
as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of revenues, expenses, and other changes in net
assets, of functional expenses and of cash flows for the year then ended.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the
design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the National Council’s preparation and fair
presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the National Council’s
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial sta.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Order Instructions: Attached
In Part 3 of the Course Project, you consider how the evidence
you gathered during Part 2 can be translated into nursing
practice.
Now that you have located available research on your PICOT
question, you will examine what the research indicates about
nursing practices. Connecting research evidence and findings to
2. actual decisions and tasks that nurses complete in their daily
practice is essentially what evidence-based practice is all about.
This final component of the Course Project asks you to translate
the evidence and data from your literature review into authentic
practices that can be adopted to improve health care outcomes.
In addition, you will also consider possible methods and
strategies for disseminating evidence-based practices to your
colleagues and to the broader health care field.
To prepare:
Consider Parts 1 and 2 of your Course Project. How does the
research address your PICOT question?
With your PICOT question in mind, identify at least one nursing
practice that is supported by the evidence in two or more of the
articles from your literature review. Consider what the evidence
indicates about how this practice contributes to better outcomes.
Explore possible consequences of failing to adopt the evidence-
based practice that you identified.
Consider how you would disseminate information about this
evidence-based practice throughout your organization or
practice setting. How would you communicate the importance of
the practice?
To complete:
In a 3- to 4-page paper:
Restate your PICOT question and its significance to nursing
practice.
Summarize the findings from the articles you selected for your
literature review. Describe at least one nursing practice that is
3. supported by the evidence in the articles. Justify your response
with specific references to at least 2 of the articles.
Explain how the evidence-based practice that you identified
contributes to better outcomes. In addition, identify potential
negative outcomes that could result from failing to use the
evidence-based practice.
Outline the strategy for disseminating the evidence-based

NURSE 6052
Running head: RESEARCH QUESTION 1
Identification of the Research Question
For children, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is prevalent
among other disorders, does the Stem Cell Treatment more
appropriate diagnosis method compared to Food and Drug
Administration, in preventing the adverse effects of Autism?
9. Questions of the Research Question
1. At which stage does Autism Spectrum Disorder highly affect?
2. Is there any definite diagnosis for autistic people?
3. What support can families give to autistic patients to reduce
it effects?
4. Discuss the scientific interventions in place to cure or
support the patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder?
5. What possible methods that can be put in place to minimize
the potential risks of autism Disorder?
Significance of Research Question
This study is significant since it seeks to explain in depth
Autism Disorder which has been common. Furthermore, nursing
issues or problems are quite significant in number affecting
infants, teens, adults among others. Furthermore, the problems
in nursing include a variety of common disorders such as autism
in young children. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a
disease believed to be caused by factors such as genetically,
biological or even environmental that affects the brain to have
delayed response to things (Davies, 2011). Besides, the disorder
causes abnormalities in the children at an early age which
results in the complications of inability to communicate or
problems in socialization. More so, the disease develops at a
tender age but its adverse effects trails in the entire life of the
victim. (Kerin et al. 2018).
Summary of Research Question
Autism spectrum disorder has become common with adverse
effects to the patients. There has been no main method of
diagnosis of the problem over a period of years. The disorder is
not desirable with very limited ways to handle it. Should such
conditions continue as nurses watch it trudge on? This question
is among many questions captured the interest of researching
over the disorder and provide an appropriate way to handle it.

Literature Review
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a condition which is usually
developmental and tends to affect the behavior and
communication of a person. (National Institute of Mental Health
[NIMH], 2017). The reason as to why this kind of disorder is
considered as being developmental is because its symptoms
usually appear during the first two years of life. People who
11. have autism spectrum disorder typically have behaviors that are
restricted and repetitive as well as symptoms that affect the
ability of the person to properly function while at school, work
or even in other areas of life. (NIMH, 2017). Autism spectrum
disorder can affect any person regardless of their racial, ethnic
or economic group. Despite autism spectrum being considered
as a lifelong disorder treatment and services can assist in
improving the symptoms associated with this particular disorder
as well as the ability of a person to function. (Myers & Johnson,
2007). This review synthesizes information in some of the
articles whereby the authors of those particular articles tried to
evaluate whether the use of stem cell treatment is a more
appropriate method to use while treating children suffering from
autism spectrum disorder as compared to the administration of
food and drugs to help in preventing the adverse effects
associated with the autism spectrum disorder.
Synthesis of the Studies
Current investigative therapies which are aimed at reversing the
abnormalities which are associated with spectrum autism
disorder mainly aim at administering antibiotics, hyperbaric
oxygen, and anti-inflammatory oxygen. The therapeutic
approaches for autism can be largely classified under
educational, medical, allied health, behavioral and
complementary as well as alternative medicine interventions.
Presently, there is no defined mechanism of pathogenesis and
consequently treatment is limited to behavioral interventions.
Use of stem cells is being considered as better diagnosis method
compared to food and drug administration in the prevention of
adverse effects of autism. The main reason as to why the use of
stem cells from the umbilical cord tissue is that it has shown to
reduce inflammation in the autistic patient which in turn
alleviates symptoms of autism. Transplantation of stem cells
may offer an exceptional treatment strategy for spectrum autism
disorder due to the neural dysregulation and immune which are
observed in this condition. The degree of severity of the autism
symptoms has been associated or correlated with inflammatory
12. and neuroinflammatory cytokines which include macrophage-
derived chemokine as well as thymus and activation-regulated
chemokine. There are several immune disorders which are
associated with autism such as autoimmunity, immune
deficiencies, overactivation of certain immune populations and
allergy. This helps improve the health outcomes of the patient.
The stem cells are being used by the health providers to help in
the creation of new models of autism with an aim of testing the
effects that new drugs could possibly be having (Sharma et al.,
2013).
Conforming to precedent pre-clinical studies that have been
carried out it is evident that the mesenchymal stem cells have a
tendency to represent immune regulatory properties that are
significant through suppression of proliferation as well as
function of several major immune cells which includes B cells,
natural killer cells, T cells, inducing regulatory T cells and
modulating the activities of dendritic cells. Therapies that
employ the use of stem cells are usually in a better position of
inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and also
have strong immune suppressive activities. This does not only
help in the autologous transplantation but also help in
heterologous transplantation without the requirement of
pharmacological immune suppression (Lv et al., 2013).
According to the studies analyzed stem cell treatment is a more
appropriate diagnosis method as compared to the administration
of food and drug because stem cells are cells which are
undifferentiated and they are usually defined by their ability to
self-renew as well as differentiate into cells that are mature.
The stem cells are also preferable because they are highly
proliferative which implies that there are several numbers of
mature cells which can be generated from a given stem cell
source. The cell replacement therapy hypothesizes that new
retinal cells could be generated from stem cells to help ion
substituting the cells that have already been damaged by the
disorder (Siniscalco, Bradstreet, Sych & Antonucci, 2014). The
stem cells also have a protective effect which is usually referred
13. to as the paracrine effect. The protective effect of the stem cells
assists in modulating the microenvironment of the tissues that
have been affected by the disorder to help in protecting the cells
that have been injured, promote the survival rate as well as
activate any endogenous repair mechanism that is available. The
stem cells in the treatment of autism spectrum disorder usually
trigger the development of the brain and after that, the body of
the child proceeds in doing their work (Ng, Fortino, Pelaez, &
Cheung, 2014).
Inconsistencies and Contradictions in the Literature
One of the inconsistencies and contradictions found in the
literature is the fact that there is only one registered human trial
that has used MSCs to treat autism in children whereby there
were two components that were involved to have a better health
outcome. In this one study combined transplantation of MSCs
and mononuclear cells had therapeutic effects that were better
as compared to using transplantation of mononuclear cells
alone. Another controversy as per the studies used is that the
administration of the stem cells needs to be administered in a
given manner to achieve quality results. Although the outcome
after using the stem cell in treating autism in children can be
positive or negative the risk-benefit ratio of stem cell therapy in
autistic children appears to be favorable.
Preliminary Conclusions
In conclusion, the evidence in the researched literature and
journals provides a strong support for a change in practice
whereby health providers should start using stem cell treatment
to diagnose children suffering from Austin spectrum disorder as
compared to the use of food and drug administration. This
method helps in replacing the cells that have been damaged by
the disorder. From the literature it is evident that the applied
behavior analysis is a mode of treatment that is mainly based on
theories of learning and operant conditioning yet the disorder
could be as a result of an inborn disorder or because of the
genes of a person and therefore in such a case the stem cell
treatment is the most appropriate. Despite the literature
14. providing a strong support as to why health providers should
implement the use stem cells in the treatment of autism
spectrum disorder in children further research still need to be
carried out to help guide the health providers on the particular
symptoms of autism in children that can be addressed using this
mode of treatment. This is significant taking into account that
stem cells typically differentiate into different cell types needed
by the body such as oligodendrocytes, neurons, and blood cells.
