Introduction
Nursing profession is one of the richest, most versatile, all-inclusive professions of all times. Sharifi, Adib-Hajbaghery, and Najafi, (2019) explains cultural competence is the cornerstone of the nursing practice. The purpose of this paper is to describe the details of how the student has achieved the outcomes including the assignments and experiences that led to the achievement of the outcomes upon program completion.
Holistic Approach in the Nursing Assessment
According to Gale (2020), since the COVID-19 pandemic, several patients, especially the older population has faced major challenges, such as social isolation; hence, it is imperative that nurses develop strategies to avert the injurious and deleterious complications associated with social isolation. “A new graduate nurse must consider establishing effective interventions to identify those individuals at risk” (Sharifi et al., 2019).
Cultural Values and Competence
One of the main barriers to effective patient care delivery is cultural diversity. Lack of cultural awareness may lead to poor patients’ outcomes.

Abstract
Abstracts are research tools that can help you readers determine if the scope of your article/essay will help them in their own research. In APA, abstracts are typically 150-250 words in length and provide an evaluative summary of the essay to follow. The personal opinion of the author is strictly prohibited in abstracts. Unlike a body paragraph, the first line of an abstract is not tabbed-in. For many student essays, especially in lower-numbers courses, an abstract will not be required; still, it is good to practice this skill.
Title of Essay
In APA style, the introduction of the essay should begin here, followed by the body paragraphs. APA is typically a more formal style than most students are accustomed to using in a writing course. For the purposes of this course, the level of formality should be based on the assignment. For example: APA asks that students always write in third person (avoiding words such as I, me, we, our(s), you, your(s), etc). Certain rhetorical modes, however, don’t cater well to third person (narrative and reflection writing are two such examples). In these situations, first person (I, me, we, our(s)) may be, and should be employed; second person (you, your(s)) should be avoided in all academic writing unless an essay is specifically designed to relay instructions (there are few assignments that will employ second person).
Like any essay, students should make sure their essays are formatted with one inch margins, with their text exclusively in Times New Roman 12-point font, and students should double space their lines. This document can be downloaded and used as a template wherein students may simply replace names, titles, dates, and so on with their own information.
The final page of this document will demonstrate a References page. If a student uses information from any source, that source must be identified within the text and listed on a References page. These citations should be listed in alphabetical order and, opposite to the way a normal paragraph works, the first line should be flush left and each following line should be tabbed in. Though there is really no substitute for a good APA Style Manual, students can refer to a citation generator such as www.citationmachine.net to ensure proper formatting. Any further questions should be directed to the instructor of the course.

Introduction
Nursing profession is one of the richest, most versatile, all-inclusive professions of all times. Sharifi, Adib-Hajbaghery, and Najafi, (2019) explains cultural competence is the cornerstone of the nursing practice. The purpose of this paper is to describe the details of how the student has achieved the outcomes including the assignments and experiences that led to the achievement of the outcomes upon program completion.
Holistic Approach in the Nursing Assessment
According to Gale (2020), since the COVID-19 pandemic, several patients, especially the older population has faced major challenges, such as social isolation; hence, it is imperative that nurses develop strategies to avert the injurious and deleterious complications associated with social isolation. “A new graduate nurse must consider establishing effective interventions to identify those individuals at risk” (Sharifi et al., 2019).
Cultural Values and Competence
One of the main barriers to effective patient care delivery is cultural diversity. Lack of cultural awareness may lead to poor patients’ outcomes.

Abstract
Abstracts are research tools that can help you readers determine if the scope of your article/essay will help them in their own research. In APA, abstracts are typically 150-250 words in length and provide an evaluative summary of the essay to follow. The personal opinion of the author is strictly prohibited in abstracts. Unlike a body paragraph, the first line of an abstract is not tabbed-in. For many student essays, especially in lower-numbers courses, an abstract will not be required; still, it is good to practice this skill.
Title of Essay
In APA style, the introduction of the essay should begin here, followed by the body paragraphs. APA is typically a more formal style than most students are accustomed to using in a writing course. For the purposes of this course, the level of formality should be based on the assignment. For example: APA asks that students always write in third person (avoiding words such as I, me, we, our(s), you, your(s), etc). Certain rhetorical modes, however, don’t cater well to third person (narrative and reflection writing are two such examples). In these situations, first person (I, me, we, our(s)) may be, and should be employed; second person (you, your(s)) should be avoided in all academic writing unless an essay is specifically designed to relay instructions (there are few assignments that will employ second person).
Like any essay, students should make sure their essays are formatted with one inch margins, with their text exclusively in Times New Roman 12-point font, and students should double space their lines. This document can be downloaded and used as a template wherein students may simply replace names, titles, dates, and so on with their own information.
The final page of this document will demonstrate a References page. If a student uses information from any source, that source must be identified within the text and listed on a References page. These citations should be listed in alphabetical order and, opposite to the way a normal paragraph works, the first line should be flush left and each following line should be tabbed in. Though there is really no substitute for a good APA Style Manual, students can refer to a citation generator such as www.citationmachine.net to ensure proper formatting. Any further questions should be directed to the instructor of the course.

Introduction. This paragraph does not have a title. The title page serves as the title. Scholarly writing includes three to seven sentences in a paragraph. However, three to five short distinct sentences will be sufficient. Paragraphs should not be one page or longer in length. Here is a model to help you. Use the acronym MEAL when writing paragraphs with APA 7th edition citations.
MEAL:
Main idea. Introduce the focus of the paragraph.
Evidence. Support the main idea with source information.
Analysis. Explain and analyze the source information.
Lead out. Conclude the topic, like a conclusion paragraph.
Remember that perfection is not the goal. There will be always room for improvement. Being detail oriented does not equal perfection; however, it enables you to move toward scholarship. Use LopesWrite to stress clear, concise, and research writing. Avoid Plagiarism and Direct Quotes.
1st paragraph is titled Comprehension Strategies (Level 1 heading)
This is a Level 1 heading, and it is centered and bolded, and the initial word and each word of four or more letters is capitalized. The heading is a short descriptor of a section.
2nd paragraph is titled Graphic Organizers (cite a source)
3rd paragraph is titled Independent Practice (cite a source)
4th paragraph is titled Model-Lead Test (cite a source)
5th paragraph is titled Peer Tutoring (cite a source)
6th paragraph is titled Repeated Reading (cite a source)
7th paragraph is titled Instructional Goals
8th paragraph is titled Parent Involvement
9th paragraph is titled Student Concerns
10th paragraph is titled Conclusion
Beginning the conclusion with phrases like "in closing," "in summary" or "in conclusion" is redundant and unnecessary. Scholarly writing includes three to seven sentences in a paragraph. However, three to five short and distinct sentences will be sufficient. Your conclusion does not contain any new information.

This document provides an overview and instructions for using the APA Quick Reference Handbook 5th edition. It discusses the purpose and scope of the handbook, noting that it focuses on certain APA style guidelines and is not a comprehensive summary of the full APA Manual. The intended users are identified as M.Ed. students at AKU-IED whose assignments require APA style. An abbreviated list of reference examples is included in the handbook. Overall, the document introduces the APA Quick Reference Handbook and explains that it provides a condensed guide to selected APA style areas relevant to academic writing at AKU-IED.
APA referencing style refers to the rules and conventions established by the American Psychological Association for documenting sources used in research paper. In this system, the writer includes the author and date within the body of the paper and includes a corresponding reference in the reference list. It provides a standard system for giving credit to others for their contribution to your work. This is known as “Parenthetical” documentation style meaning that citation to original sources appear in your text. This citation system allows the reader to identify sources used in the paper by reviewing the author and date within the text of the paper, and then easily locate the corresponding reference in the alphabetical reference list.

Grand Canyon University
American Psychological Association [APA] Style Guide for WritingIntroduction
Students of Grand Canyon University (GCU) are required to use the guidelines provided by the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.) for preparing written assignments, except where otherwise noted. GCU has made APA templates and other resources available within the Student Success Center; therefore, students are not required to purchase the APA manual.
PLEASE NOTE:
The curriculum materials (Syllabus, Lectures/Readings, Resources, etc.) created and provided by GCU in the online or Web-enhanced modalities are prepared using an editorial format that relies on APA as a framework but that modifies some formatting criteria to better suit the nature and purpose of instructional materials. Students and faculty are advised that GCU course materials do not adhere strictly to APA format and should not be used as examples of correct APA format when preparing written work for class.
APA Format and Style
General
Academic writing, which is independent thought supported by reliable and relevant research, depends on the ability to integrate and cite the sources that have been consulted. Use APA style for all references, in-text citations, formatting, etc.
Write in first- and second-person sparingly, if ever. This means, avoid using I, we, and you; instead, use he, she, and they. Do not use contractions.Paper Format
1) Use standard-sized paper of 8.5″ x 11″.
2) Margins should be 1″ all around (top, bottom, left, right).
3) Use Times New Roman 12-point font.
4) For emphasis, use italics (not quotation marks, bold, etc.).
5) Double-space.
6) Align the text flush left. Organization
The basic organization of an APA-style paper includes the title page, abstract, body, and reference section, though students are encouraged to follow any specific directions given in their Overview assignment.
Title Page
The title page includes four elements that should be centered in the middle of the page: title, author byline, institutional affiliation followed by the course prefix and number (e.g., Grand Canyon University: PSY 351), and date of submission. Please note that even though APA does not require the date on a title page, it is a requirement for GCU papers.
Being the first page, the title page is where to set up your page header, which include.

Standard Deviation, Hypotheses, and Standard Error
View Rubric
Due Date: Oct 20, 2015 23:59:59 Max Points: 145
Details:
Doctoral researchers must be able to manage statistical data in order to draw conclusions about the data from a research study. This assignment will allow you to practice your skills in working with standard deviation, hypotheses, and standard error.
General Requirements:
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:
· Read each segment of this assignment carefully. There is information in the segment that will guide your completion.
· Instructors will be using a grading rubric to grade the assignments. It is recommended that learners review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment in order to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.
· Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
· This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.
Directions:
In an essay of 250-500 words, thoroughly address the following items and respond to the related questions:
1. Define the term standard deviation. Why is it important to know the standard deviation for a given sample? What do researchers learn about a normal distribution from knowledge of the standard deviation? A sample of n=20 has a mean of M = 40. If the standard deviation is s=5, would a score of X= 55 be considered an extreme value? Why or why not?
2. Hypothesis testing allows researchers to use sample data, taken from a larger population, to draw inferences (i.e., conclusions) about the population from which the sample came. Hypothesis testing is one of the most commonly used inferential procedures. Define and thoroughly explain the terms null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. How are they used in hypothesis testing?
3. Define the term standard error. Why is the standard error important in research using sample distributions? Consider the following scenario: A random sample obtained from a population has a mean of µ=100 and a standard deviation of σ = 20. The error between the sample mean and the population mean for a sample of n = 16 is 5 points and the error between a sample men and population mean for a sample of n = 100 is 2 points. Explain the difference in the standard error for the two samples.
Rubric-
The term standard deviation is defined correctly in a thorough manner. All of the follow-up questions are correctly answered in a thorough manner.
The terms null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis are defined correctly and thoroughly. The application of these terms to hypothesis testing is thorough and indicative of deep understanding of the concepts.
The term standard error is defined correctly in a thorough manner. All of the follow-up ques.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Block quote
Students at Nova Southeastern University have faced challenges in learning how to
use APA formatting. When discussing the challenges, Tunon (2006) found the following:
Use quotes around an article title or book chapter, but italicize the title of a book,
journal, … or report when used in the body of the paper. Use a shot [sic] title
in the parenthetical citation or complete title if the title is short. NOTE Non-periodical
titles like books and book titles have all the important words capitalized in the text
citations, but these same book titles do not have all the important words capitalized
in the reference list. (p. 342)
Formatting for Direct Quotes:
Tunon (2006) found that “instructors may or may not want to require an abstract for class
assignments” (p. 34).

Dropout There is a high school dropout epidemic in America. Each year, almost
one-third of all public high school students – and nearly one-half of all blacks,
Hispanics and Native Americans – fail to graduate from public high school
(Bridgeland, Dilulio, Jr., and Morison, 2006).
The most common reasons for dropping out of high school are
attitude towards school, poor school performance, and poor relationship with
teachers. Dropouts also had lower academic performance, decreased motivation,
and an increased sense of alienation from the school environment (Lan & Lanthier,
2003). Research also revealed that high school students often consider the
social organizational changes and academic work as the most difficult part of
transition (Akos, 2004).

86. Considerations for Selecting an Editor:
• The university does not assume responsibility
for a student's contractual agreement with a
private editor or typist or for the quality of
the editor's or typist's work.
• Fully communicate with editor about the
services included, turn-around time, and
costs.
• Don’t send your only copy of manuscript to
the editor.
