Research Questions
Research questions are developed to help guide the authors through the literature for a given problem area. What were the open-ended questions asked and why did the student find (or not find) them adequate.
Relevance and Significance
The student should consider the following questions as they read through an article stating how the author(s) supported, or left unsupported the evidence, relevance, and significance of their research literature:
Why is there a problem? What groups or individuals are affected?
How far-ranging is the problem and how great is its impact? What’s the benefit of solving the problem?
What has been tried without success to correct the situation? Why weren’t those attempts successful? What are the consequences of not solving the problem?
How does the goal of the study address the research problem and how will the proposed study offer promise as a resolution to the problem?
How will the research add to the knowledge base?
What is the potential for generalization of the results?
What is the potential for original work?
Barriers and Issues
In these paragraphs, identify how the problem is inherently difficult to solve. How did the solution the author(s) propose address the difficulties?
Chapter 2 Literature Review
In this section, it is important to clearly identify the major areas on which the student will need to focus the student research in order to build a solid foundation for the study in the existing body of knowledge. The literature review is the presentation of quality literature in a particular field that serves as the foundation and justification for the research problem, research questions or hypothesis, and methodology. The student will develop a more comprehensive review of the literature as part of the research.

Formal Research Report or Q/AResearch Report / Individual Project (400 points)
Write a scholarly research report on a topic related to Software Engineering (see Appropriate Topics). Please see Important Notes and Document Details for detailed specifications.
Appropriate Topics:
The Research Report should consist of a comparative analysis of two programming languages of your choice.
Important Student Notes:
· Each student submission should be checked for plagiarism. Students should be warned that Turnitin has a very good historical memory and is capable of accessing reports from both internal and external resources (i.e. Universities, Governments, etc.) including those originally written in non-English written languages. Plagiarism will result in a grade of zero (non-negotiable) for the assignment and may results in other university actions.
· Only one submission attempt is permitted – AS THE STUDENT TO BE SURE BEFORE DEPRESSING ENTER.
· Acceptable file formats for submissions include Microsoft Word (doc, docx) or Adobe Acrobat (PDF). No other formats are acceptable.
· The research paper must be at least 2,500 words supported by evidence (citations from peer-reviewed sources).
· A minimum of four (4) peer-reviewed journal citations are required.
· Formatting should be double-spaced, one-inch boarders, no extra space for headings, no extra white space, no more than two levels of heading, page numbers, front and back matter).
· Extra white space use to enhance page count will negatively affect student grade.
· Chapter 1 illustrates the document details of the research report and constitutes Background/Introduction, Problem Statement(s), Goal(s), Research Question(s), Relevance and Significance, Barriers and Issues related to topic chosen. Chapter 2 should consist of student paraphrasing the cited research material (i.e. what happened in case study x). Chapter 3 should be the reasoning for doing a basic compare/contrast or advantages/disadvantage of what was stated in Chapter 2 (do not state because the professor said so). Chapter 4 is a complete analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of what was stated in chapter 2. In effect, chapter 3 is a statement of what will be done and chapter 4 is what was done and what the findings were. Again, thus far the writing is objective and must not contain student opinion. Chapter 5 states results, conclusion, and future work recommendations. Here is where student opinion (or any researcher) can state their respective opinion as the student has now “done the work” and are justified in stating results.
· Graduate student are expected to be proficient in the use of the English language. Errors in grammar, spelling, or syntax will affect student grade. The Professor, will not provide remedial help for writing problems. If the student is unable to write clearly and correctly, the student should be urged to contact the program office for sources of remedial help.

Follow the statement of the problem with a well-supported discussion of its scope and nature. The discussion of the problem should include: what the problem is, why it is a problem, how the problem evolved or developed, and the issues and events leading to the problem.
Goal
Next, include a concise definition of the goal of the work (i.e., what the work will accomplish). Aim to define a goal that is measurable.
Research Questions
Research questions are developed to help guide the authors through the literature for a given problem area. What were the open-ended questions asked and why did the student find (or not find) them adequate.
Relevance and Significance
The student should consider the following questions as they read through an article stating how the author(s) supported, or left unsupported the evidence, relevance, and significance of their research literature:
Why is there a problem? What groups or individuals are affected?
How far-ranging is the problem and how great is its impact? What’s the benefit of solving the problem?
What has been tried without success to correct the situation? Why weren’t those attempts successful? What are the consequences of not solving the problem?
How does the goal of the study address the research problem and how will the proposed study offer promise as a resolution to the problem?
How will the research add to the knowledge base?
What is the potential for generalization of the results?
What is the potential for original work?
Barriers and Issues
In these paragraphs, identify how the problem is inherently difficult to solve. How did the solution the author(s) propose address the difficulties?
Chapter 2 Literature Review
In this section, it is important to clearly identify the major areas on which the student will need to focus the student research in order to build a solid foundation for the study in the existing body of knowledge. The literature review is the presentation of quality literature in a particular field that serves as the foundation and justification for the research problem, research questions or hypothesis, and methodology. The student will develop a more comprehensive review of the literature as part of the research.
Chapter 3 Approach/Methodology
This chapter includes a summary of how the student are going to proceed with the evaluation of the problem statement and associated research question(s). Given the short time of this course, a compare / contrast or advantage / disadvantage analysis is recommended that

Formal Research Report or Q/AResearch Report / Individual Project (400 points)
Write a scholarly research report on a topic related to Software Engineering (see Appropriate Topics). Please see Important Notes and Document Details for detailed specifications.
Appropriate Topics:
The Research Report should consist of a comparative analysis of two programming languages of your choice.
Important Student Notes:
· Each student submission should be checked for plagiarism. Students should be warned that Turnitin has a very good historical memory and is capable of accessing reports from both internal and external resources (i.e. Universities, Governments, etc.) including those originally written in non-English written languages. Plagiarism will result in a grade of zero (non-negotiable) for the assignment and may results in other university actions.
· Only one submission attempt is permitted – AS THE STUDENT TO BE SURE BEFORE DEPRESSING ENTER.
· Acceptable file formats for submissions include Microsoft Word (doc, docx) or Adobe Acrobat (PDF). No other formats are acceptable.
· The research paper must be at least 2,500 words supported by evidence (citations from peer-reviewed sources).
· A minimum of four (4) peer-reviewed journal citations are required.
· Formatting should be double-spaced, one-inch boarders, no extra space for headings, no extra white space, no more than two levels of heading, page numbers, front and back matter).
· Extra white space use to enhance page count will negatively affect student grade.
· Chapter 1 illustrates the document details of the research report and constitutes Background/Introduction, Problem Statement(s), Goal(s), Research Question(s), Relevance and Significance, Barriers and Issues related to topic chosen. Chapter 2 should consist of student paraphrasing the cited research material (i.e. what happened in case study x). Chapter 3 should be the reasoning for doing a basic compare/contrast or advantages/disadvantage of what was stated in Chapter 2 (do not state because the professor said so). Chapter 4 is a complete analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of what was stated in chapter 2. In effect, chapter 3 is a statement of what will be done and chapter 4 is what was done and what the findings were. Again, thus far the writing is objective and must not contain student opinion. Chapter 5 states results, conclusion, and future work recommendations. Here is where student opinion (or any researcher) can state their respective opinion as the student has now “done the work” and are justified in stating results.
· Graduate student are expected to be proficient in the use of the English language. Errors in grammar, spelling, or syntax will affect student grade. The Professor, will not provide remedial help for writing problems. If the student is unable to write clearly and correctly, the student should be urged to contact the program office for sources of remedial help.

Main objective of the assessment
To write a report of a piece of research. This involves being able to use the literature in order to identify a suitable research problem/issue or opportunity to explore, to design/implement a study using suitable and appropriately justified research methods, to present the findings and finally to provide conclusions. You will also have demonstrated that the requirements of responsible ethical behaviour in research were taken into account. All of this encourages you towards becoming an ‘independent’ researcher. Being independent means (amongst other things) being capable of: (a) formulating good questions; (b) developing and presenting well-informed and well-supported arguments; and (c) defending your arguments in open discussion. Learning to deal with complex, open-ended problems and limited, often ambiguous, information is an extremely valuable preparation for future challenges.
Description of the assessment
In this, you will have shown how you have “draw[n] on the literature in the field, analyse[d] and interpret[ed] research evidence of a discipline-specific phenomenon in order to identify a suitable research problem/issue or opportunity to explore”, that you have “identified a suitable research problem/issue or opportunity, design[ed] and implement[ed] a research investigation/study, use[d] suitable research methods, appropriately justified, and report[ed] efficiently and effectively on the findings, conclusions and (where appropriate) proposals for appropriate action thereof”. You will also have demonstrated “that the requirements of responsible ethical behaviour in research [were] suitably taken into account”. You need to provide evidence that you have understood and met “the requirements of responsible ethical behaviour in research”. These quotes come from the learning outcomes published in the module block outline.
The Project Report should consist of a carefully-crafted account of your Project. It is important to remember that this Report is the only evidence that the markers are able to use when assessing your work. These guidelines are designed to help you to prepare the best document/Report possible, so that you do full justice to the research you have undertaken. Please read in conjunction with the marking scheme.

Deductive vs Inductive ReasoningDeductive reasoning starts out w.docxsimonithomas47935
Deductive vs Inductive Reasoning
Deductive reasoning starts out with a general statement, or hypothesis, and examines the possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion. The scientific method uses deduction to test hypotheses and theories. With deductive reasoning, we start with facts and then derive other facts from them. Mathematically we can represent the following: A=B and B=C, therefore we can deductively say A=C. Deductive reasoning arrives at a specific conclusion based on generalizations. In deductive reasoning, if something is true of a class of things, in general, it is also true for all members of that class.
i.e. "All men are mortal". "Tom is a man". Therefore Tom is mortal.
Inductive reasoning begins by looking for a trend or logically sequenced events that can be used to create a generalized conclusive statement. Inductive reasoning uses specific observations to make broad statements. Inductive reasoning is a logical process in which multiple premises, all believed true or found true most of the time, are combined to obtain a specific conclusion. When we use inductive reasoning, we are not sure of the conclusion.
i.e. “Tom is a father. Tom is bald. Therefore, all fathers are bald."

Discussion Topic
I'm Done
The different types of research can be classified as Theoretical, Empirical, and Evaluation. Theoretical research is focused on explaining phenomena through the logical analysis and synthesis of theories, principles, and the results of other forms of research such as empirical studies. Empirical research is focused on testing conclusions related to theories. Evaluation research is focused on a particular program, product or method, usually in an applied setting, for the purpose of describing, improving, or estimating its effectiveness and worth.
Research methods are broadly classified as Quantitative and Qualitative.
· Quantitative research includes experimental, quasi-experimental, correlational, and other methods that primarily involve collection of quantitative data and its analysis using inferential statistics such as t-tests, ANOVA, correlation, and regression analysis.
· Qualitative research includes observation, case studies, diaries, interviews, and other methods that primarily involve the collection of qualitative data and its analysis using grounded theory and ethnographic approaches. The Case Study method provides a way of studying human events and actions in their natural surroundings. It captures people and events as they appear in their daily circumstance. It can offer a researcher empirical and theoretical gains in understanding phenomena.
You, as an adult learner, bring a wealth of expertise to your studies. This knowledge and skills should be used to formulate a research paper that raises new questions, new possibilities, and regards existing problems from a new angle. Effecti.

Introduction
Introduce your topic of interest for the reader. Provide information on the context and rationale for the topic you chose to study and why it is important. Describe the broad foundations of your proposal, including some references to existing literature and/or empirically observable situations. In other words, the introduction needs to provide sufficient background for readers to understand where your proposal for research, a process improvement or policy initiative is coming from.Background
This section provides a description of the topic being studied (global to within the Saudi Arabian context). It provides a justification of its importance and relevance in terms of existing trends, reports, theory, research and practice.
Tips on drafting your background
· Indicate the general scope of your proposal project, but do not go into so much detail that later sections (purpose/literature review etc.) become irrelevant
· Clarify what the problem is or knowledge gap is that your project is responding to.

There are two objectives for the Course Project.To analyze.docxrelaine1
There are two objectives for the Course Project.
To analyze a complex negotiation (work, personal, or historical)
To apply negotiation course concepts in your analysis.
These objectives, while straightforward, are critical to your learning. Application knowledge is the key. If you can apply what you have learned in the course to the project, you will also be able to apply what you have learned in other environments after the course has ended.
Proposal Topic Ideas
The proposal
(one page is due during Week 3)
should describe the focus of the paper and your method. The negotiation can be one in which you were a participant or one in which you have been an active observer. Some examples of applicable negotiations include
a workplace negotiation, such as a complex contract, new position, or new salary (preferred);
a complex business transaction, such as a merger or acquisition;
a complex real estate purchase;
a union-management contract (including professional
sports
leagues);
a neighborhood group negotiating zoning concerns with a city government;
a negotiation between divorcing spouses who have complex
settlement
issues; and
a negotiation between a vendor and business over products and services.
The above are representative examples of possible topics. The important thing to keep in mind in your topic selection is that the negotiation should be complex enough that you can perform a thoughtful and critical analysis in your paper using concepts learned in this course.
Guidelines
Paper must be 10 pages minimum in length, not including the title, abstract, or reference pages.
Paper must apply APA formatting.
Paper may apply up to but no more than three pages in describing the negotiation.
Negotiation should be complex enough to challenge students' analytic skills.
Paper Topic Proposal (for faculty review and approval) is due in Week 3
(approximate length is one page).
Paper is due in Week 7.

Barbara Silva is the CIO for Peachtree Community Hospital in Atlanta.docxwilcockiris
Barbara Silva is the CIO for Peachtree Community Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. As the chief information officer, it has been her duty to assemble a team of healthcare information professionals to prepare for the implementation of HIPAA Privacy Rules.
How did Barbara and her team orchestrate moving forward toward HIPAA Privacy compliance? First, she established a steering committee responsible for HIPAA Privacy planning. The committee focused on three broad areas of development, including:
education;
assessment; and
development of policies and procedures.
The steering committee recognizes that the scope of this project is quite vast and that it encompasses many different areas of the facility. The scope involves not just hospital information systems, but the operations of many departments and manual processes. These varied items are included in the scope of assessment and are found to be the biggest challenge. Developing HIPAA compliant policies and procedures is not a one-time activity as changes are constant. Development and continuous updating will mean that this project is one that will be an ongoing effort.
Part of Peachtree Community Hospital’s key to success has been pulling together the right combination of professionals. The result is a multidisciplinary team which will include the HIM services director and the CCO (chief compliance officer).
Barbara has garnered the following information from experts in the area of HIPAA Privacy Rules who have suggested that healthcare organizations consider the following steps to become compliant:
Inventory the organization’s data as the first step in policy implementation.
Read the Federal Register information on HIPAA.
Focus on HIPAA as a business process issue.
Secure the support of top management and the active involvement and participation of staff in all affected areas.
Thoroughly review outside vendor contracts to ensure compliance with business associate agreements.
Appoint a dedicated staff to the HIPAA privacy initiative.
Preparing for HIPAA compliance will require a complex and thorough evaluation and realignment of business and operational processes.
Your Role/Assignment
You have been consulted by CIO Barbara Silva as the healthcare information systems expert. You will be working directly with the director of HIM services. As a consultant, you have vast experience with HIPAA implementations. Your expertise will be required in several areas.
K E Y P L A Y E R S
Barbara Silva, CIO
As the chief information officer, Barbara will assemble a team of healthcare professionals to prepare for the implementation of HIPAA Privacy Rules. She must ensure that Peachtree is in full compliance with HIPAA regulations for every aspect of the organization
–
not just hospital information systems, but also the operations of related departments and manual processes. Her concerns encompass a large scope of the project, and she will need to identify key people to become involved in this project.

BARGAIN CITY Your career is moving along faster than you e.docxwilcockiris
BARGAIN CITY
Your career is moving along faster than you expected. You thought that your expertise in Information
systems would result in an initial break-in period as a programmer for Bargain City, a retail chain modeled
along the lines of Wal-Mart. But the resignation of three systems analysts changed all that. The analysts
left to form their own consulting firm.
Knowing that you had a strong dose of systems analysis in college, your boss, Alisa Ernst, decided to let
you begin as a systems analyst. It didn't take her long to give you your first assignment. Alisa made
arrangements for you to visit an area store for the purpose of becoming familiar with activity at the store
level. She expects you to prepare a written report that might serve as the basis for future systems
projects.
You arrive at the West Alameda store at 9 A.M., and you are amazed at how many people are already
shopping. The lot is full, and you have to wait ten minutes-it seems like thirty--to get a parking place.
Inside, the conditions are no better. The store is huge, with fifteen checkout counters, but only four are
open. Each of the four, one of which is the express lane, has a long line of shoppers waiting to check out.
It's a good thing that you are not buying anything. Since you are only conducting a systems study, you will
be able to get out sooner.
You watch the action--or inaction--for a while and then wander back to the storeroom where three stock
clerks are opening boxes. You hear one of them say, "Have you found it yet?" Curious, you introduce
yourself and ask what they are looking for. One of the clerks tells you that the store has a special on
cookout items but ran out of charcoal starter fluid. The truck that was supposed to bring additional stock
broke down in Tuba City. The lack of starter fluid is one reason the lines up front are so long; the
checkout clerks are having to give out rain checks. You can understand why the stock clerks are having
such difficulty; the storeroom is a real mess. Boxes are stacked everywhere. There seems to be no rhyme
or reason to anything.
You ask where the store computer is, and you are directed to a small room in the corner. There it is,
humming away. Automation in action.
With a good grasp of the backroom operation, you return to the front for the purpose of checking out the
office. There's a big line there as well--people waiting to cash checks and return purchases. Most of the
returns seem to be glassware items that the customers found to be broken when they opened their
shopping bags at home. The sackers had not packed the items properly.
When you finally reach the head of the line, you are surprised to learn that the cashier is really the store
manager. He asks you to come back when he has more time. He explains that he had to "let a lot of
people go" in order to stay within the budget that headquarters imposed. You can tell by the way he
snarls his explanation that he is not ver.

Main objective of the assessment
To write a report of a piece of research. This involves being able to use the literature in order to identify a suitable research problem/issue or opportunity to explore, to design/implement a study using suitable and appropriately justified research methods, to present the findings and finally to provide conclusions. You will also have demonstrated that the requirements of responsible ethical behaviour in research were taken into account. All of this encourages you towards becoming an ‘independent’ researcher. Being independent means (amongst other things) being capable of: (a) formulating good questions; (b) developing and presenting well-informed and well-supported arguments; and (c) defending your arguments in open discussion. Learning to deal with complex, open-ended problems and limited, often ambiguous, information is an extremely valuable preparation for future challenges.
Description of the assessment
In this, you will have shown how you have “draw[n] on the literature in the field, analyse[d] and interpret[ed] research evidence of a discipline-specific phenomenon in order to identify a suitable research problem/issue or opportunity to explore”, that you have “identified a suitable research problem/issue or opportunity, design[ed] and implement[ed] a research investigation/study, use[d] suitable research methods, appropriately justified, and report[ed] efficiently and effectively on the findings, conclusions and (where appropriate) proposals for appropriate action thereof”. You will also have demonstrated “that the requirements of responsible ethical behaviour in research [were] suitably taken into account”. You need to provide evidence that you have understood and met “the requirements of responsible ethical behaviour in research”. These quotes come from the learning outcomes published in the module block outline.
The Project Report should consist of a carefully-crafted account of your Project. It is important to remember that this Report is the only evidence that the markers are able to use when assessing your work. These guidelines are designed to help you to prepare the best document/Report possible, so that you do full justice to the research you have undertaken. Please read in conjunction with the marking scheme.

Deductive vs Inductive ReasoningDeductive reasoning starts out w.docxsimonithomas47935
Deductive vs Inductive Reasoning
Deductive reasoning starts out with a general statement, or hypothesis, and examines the possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion. The scientific method uses deduction to test hypotheses and theories. With deductive reasoning, we start with facts and then derive other facts from them. Mathematically we can represent the following: A=B and B=C, therefore we can deductively say A=C. Deductive reasoning arrives at a specific conclusion based on generalizations. In deductive reasoning, if something is true of a class of things, in general, it is also true for all members of that class.
i.e. "All men are mortal". "Tom is a man". Therefore Tom is mortal.
Inductive reasoning begins by looking for a trend or logically sequenced events that can be used to create a generalized conclusive statement. Inductive reasoning uses specific observations to make broad statements. Inductive reasoning is a logical process in which multiple premises, all believed true or found true most of the time, are combined to obtain a specific conclusion. When we use inductive reasoning, we are not sure of the conclusion.
i.e. “Tom is a father. Tom is bald. Therefore, all fathers are bald."

Discussion Topic
I'm Done
The different types of research can be classified as Theoretical, Empirical, and Evaluation. Theoretical research is focused on explaining phenomena through the logical analysis and synthesis of theories, principles, and the results of other forms of research such as empirical studies. Empirical research is focused on testing conclusions related to theories. Evaluation research is focused on a particular program, product or method, usually in an applied setting, for the purpose of describing, improving, or estimating its effectiveness and worth.
Research methods are broadly classified as Quantitative and Qualitative.
· Quantitative research includes experimental, quasi-experimental, correlational, and other methods that primarily involve collection of quantitative data and its analysis using inferential statistics such as t-tests, ANOVA, correlation, and regression analysis.
· Qualitative research includes observation, case studies, diaries, interviews, and other methods that primarily involve the collection of qualitative data and its analysis using grounded theory and ethnographic approaches. The Case Study method provides a way of studying human events and actions in their natural surroundings. It captures people and events as they appear in their daily circumstance. It can offer a researcher empirical and theoretical gains in understanding phenomena.
You, as an adult learner, bring a wealth of expertise to your studies. This knowledge and skills should be used to formulate a research paper that raises new questions, new possibilities, and regards existing problems from a new angle. Effecti.

There are two objectives for the Course Project.To analyze.docxrelaine1
There are two objectives for the Course Project.
To analyze a complex negotiation (work, personal, or historical)
To apply negotiation course concepts in your analysis.
These objectives, while straightforward, are critical to your learning. Application knowledge is the key. If you can apply what you have learned in the course to the project, you will also be able to apply what you have learned in other environments after the course has ended.
Proposal Topic Ideas
The proposal

a workplace negotiation, such as a complex contract, new position, or new salary (preferred);
a complex business transaction, such as a merger or acquisition;
a complex real estate purchase;
a union-management contract (including professional
sports
leagues);
a neighborhood group negotiating zoning concerns with a city government;
a negotiation between divorcing spouses who have complex
settlement
issues; and
a negotiation between a vendor and business over products and services.
The above are representative examples of possible topics. The important thing to keep in mind in your topic selection is that the negotiation should be complex enough that you can perform a thoughtful and critical analysis in your paper using concepts learned in this course.
Guidelines

Barbara Silva is the CIO for Peachtree Community Hospital in Atlanta.docxwilcockiris
Barbara Silva is the CIO for Peachtree Community Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. As the chief information officer, it has been her duty to assemble a team of healthcare information professionals to prepare for the implementation of HIPAA Privacy Rules.
How did Barbara and her team orchestrate moving forward toward HIPAA Privacy compliance? First, she established a steering committee responsible for HIPAA Privacy planning. The committee focused on three broad areas of development, including:
education;
assessment; and
development of policies and procedures.
The steering committee recognizes that the scope of this project is quite vast and that it encompasses many different areas of the facility. The scope involves not just hospital information systems, but the operations of many departments and manual processes. These varied items are included in the scope of assessment and are found to be the biggest challenge. Developing HIPAA compliant policies and procedures is not a one-time activity as changes are constant. Development and continuous updating will mean that this project is one that will be an ongoing effort.
Part of Peachtree Community Hospital’s key to success has been pulling together the right combination of professionals. The result is a multidisciplinary team which will include the HIM services director and the CCO (chief compliance officer).
Barbara has garnered the following information from experts in the area of HIPAA Privacy Rules who have suggested that healthcare organizations consider the following steps to become compliant:
Inventory the organization’s data as the first step in policy implementation.
Read the Federal Register information on HIPAA.
Focus on HIPAA as a business process issue.
Secure the support of top management and the active involvement and participation of staff in all affected areas.
Thoroughly review outside vendor contracts to ensure compliance with business associate agreements.
Appoint a dedicated staff to the HIPAA privacy initiative.
Preparing for HIPAA compliance will require a complex and thorough evaluation and realignment of business and operational processes.
Your Role/Assignment
You have been consulted by CIO Barbara Silva as the healthcare information systems expert. You will be working directly with the director of HIM services. As a consultant, you have vast experience with HIPAA implementations. Your expertise will be required in several areas.

BARGAIN CITY Your career is moving along faster than you e.docxwilcockiris
BARGAIN CITY
Your career is moving along faster than you expected. You thought that your expertise in Information
systems would result in an initial break-in period as a programmer for Bargain City, a retail chain modeled
along the lines of Wal-Mart. But the resignation of three systems analysts changed all that. The analysts
left to form their own consulting firm.
Knowing that you had a strong dose of systems analysis in college, your boss, Alisa Ernst, decided to let
you begin as a systems analyst. It didn't take her long to give you your first assignment. Alisa made
arrangements for you to visit an area store for the purpose of becoming familiar with activity at the store
level. She expects you to prepare a written report that might serve as the basis for future systems
projects.
You arrive at the West Alameda store at 9 A.M., and you are amazed at how many people are already
shopping. The lot is full, and you have to wait ten minutes-it seems like thirty--to get a parking place.
Inside, the conditions are no better. The store is huge, with fifteen checkout counters, but only four are
open. Each of the four, one of which is the express lane, has a long line of shoppers waiting to check out.
It's a good thing that you are not buying anything. Since you are only conducting a systems study, you will
be able to get out sooner.
You watch the action--or inaction--for a while and then wander back to the storeroom where three stock
clerks are opening boxes. You hear one of them say, "Have you found it yet?" Curious, you introduce
yourself and ask what they are looking for. One of the clerks tells you that the store has a special on
cookout items but ran out of charcoal starter fluid. The truck that was supposed to bring additional stock
broke down in Tuba City. The lack of starter fluid is one reason the lines up front are so long; the
checkout clerks are having to give out rain checks. You can understand why the stock clerks are having
such difficulty; the storeroom is a real mess. Boxes are stacked everywhere. There seems to be no rhyme
or reason to anything.
You ask where the store computer is, and you are directed to a small room in the corner. There it is,
humming away. Automation in action.
With a good grasp of the backroom operation, you return to the front for the purpose of checking out the
office. There's a big line there as well--people waiting to cash checks and return purchases. Most of the
returns seem to be glassware items that the customers found to be broken when they opened their
shopping bags at home. The sackers had not packed the items properly.
When you finally reach the head of the line, you are surprised to learn that the cashier is really the store
manager. He asks you to come back when he has more time. He explains that he had to "let a lot of
people go" in order to stay within the budget that headquarters imposed. You can tell by the way he
snarls his explanation that he is not ver.

Unmasking the Prevailing Culprits in The Present-Day Education System
In pursuit of a holistic, critically provoking, meaningful, and educational oriented environment where teachers are free to teach, and learners are free to think, and the disappointing reality continues to present itself from every dimension. The faults in the current education system are critically unmasked by Mark Edmundson and Paulo Freire in their two invaluable pieces of articles. A careful analysis of the ideas tabled by the two influential education thinkers illustrates numerous underlying commonalities in their works as well as some overlooked ideas in their arguments. The fact that their central ideas in their respective scholarly works revolve around unmasking the true culprits in the present-day education implies that, if Edmundson and Freire were able to converse with each other, they would both agree on the need to change the current education system and build it around critical thinking. It’s to this end that this paper seeks to synthesize their ideas in an attempt to identify common grounds, differences as well the areas they both overlooked.
Looking at the prevailing schooling system in America as well as the ways through which learners are carrying out their studies, the perception of the two education thinkers is of great heed to the whole education system. Deeply entrenched into the Edmundson and Freire respective pieces of literature is the overarching conspiracy and oppression theme where the established, who is this case is the teacher among other the education leaders seek to contain, manipulate, and control the thoughts of the learners. As acknowledged by Freire, “Teachers either work for the liberation of the people- their humanization- or for their domestication, their dominance” (p.243). As a result of this domination and hierarchical relationship, the only knowledge that the learners in the prevailing education system receive are from the teachers, an aspect that dehumanizes the students as they do not get the chance to develop their own knowledge or even challenge the one received from the teachers. The oppression and domination ideology as presented by Freire cast invaluable light on the need for both teachers and students to embrace an “authentic” approach to education which grants them some chance to be aware of their respective incompleteness and eventually strive to be fully human (Freire 244). In a bid to rethink Freire’s oppression implication, as a college student one ought to act as a co-creator of knowledge at the expense of posing as an empty vessel waiting to be filled by the college professor or instructor.
Similarly, Edmundson acknowledges the presence of oppression in thinking and learning approaches in the contemporary schools, but from a different angle from the one used by Freire. While Freire profoundly argues that students are highly dehumanized a.

A broad, general problem seen throughout the country is the integration of online course work into the public-school classroom. Technology is integrated into all levels of education: pre-K, elementary, secondary, and higher education (Leggatt, 2016). It began with a modest inclusion of videos or allowing students to research using school-provided laptops or tablets. This was the simple way of using technology. Now that technology is more accessible and affordable, districts are providing students with digital devices to use in and out of schools, allowing them to utilize their phones, and requiring them to complete coursework online outside of the classroom (Hohlfeld, Ritzhaupt, Dawson, & Wilson,.
Barbara and Judi entered into a contract with Linda, which provi.docxwilcockiris
Barbara and Judi entered into a contract with Linda, which provided that they open a jewelry store in Fullerton. Linda is obligated to supply all jewelry in accordance with a specified price list. Linda also agreed that she would not personally compete or supply another retail merchant, either directly or indirectly, within the City of Fullerton.
Linda, in order to give the necessary credit to Barbara and Judi, required that Joanne act as a guarantor. Barbara and Judi have been very successful, making substantial profits each month.
After one year's time, Barbara, who also has an additional job as a legal secretary, requires an extended vacation. Judi is fully in agreement. While Barbara is on her vacation, Linda sells jewelry to three additional retailers, all of whom, in the space of one week, open competitive shops in Fullerton. Linda's agreement with the new retailers is to provide inventory to the new stores at a substantially reduced cost, permitting them to sell retail at rates far below Judi and Barbara's cost. In one month's time, Judi closes the business and, unknown to Barbara, files suit in Federal District Court, alleging breach of contract on Linda's part and further alleging that she only has been damaged. Barbara returns from her extended vacation one month after the suit is filed and files a motion to intervene under Rule 24. Linda files a motion under Rule 19, alleging that Barbara should be joined as a party. Joanne, who lives in Nevada, learns of the lawsuit and asks her attorney to file a motion to intervene under Rule 24. Linda, in the requisite time, files her answer and files a motion under Rule 14 to implead the Rhodesian Diamond Company, her supplier and with whom she has a contract which required that she increase her sales and open new offices or lose her contract.
Assume proper jurisdiction of the subject matter, parties and venue. Discuss all civil procedure issues and give proper argument concerning motions made by Linda, Joanne and Barbara.

SuperBrowse Custody
1. Proposed Legislation
Effective: July 14, 2018
KRS § 403.270
403.270 Custodial issues; best interests of child shall determine; rebuttable presumption that joint custody and equally shared parenting time is in child’s best interests; de facto custodian
Currentness
(1) (a) As used in this chapter and KRS 405.020, unless the context requires otherwise, “de facto custodian” means a person who has been shown by clear and convincing evidence to have been the primary caregiver for, and financial supporter of, a child who has resided with the person for a period of six (6) months or more if the child is under three (3) years of age and for a period of one (1) year or more if the child is three (3) years of age or older or has been placed by the Department for Community Based Services. Any period of time after a legal proceeding has been commenced by a parent seeking to regain custody of the child shall not be included in determining whether the child has resided with the person for the required minimum period.
(b) A person shall not be a de facto custodian until a court determines by clear and convincing evidence that the person meets the definition of de facto custodian established in paragraph (a) of this subsection. Once a court determines that a person meets the definition of de facto custodian, the court shall give the person the same standing in custody matters that is given to each parent under this section and KRS 403.280, 403.340, 403.350, 403.822, and 405.020.
(2) The court shall determine custody in accordance with the best interests of the child and equal consideration shall be given to each parent and to any de facto custodian. Subject to KRS 403.315, there shall be a presumption, rebuttable by a preponderance of evidence, that joint custody and equally shared parenting time is in the best interest of the child. If a deviation from equal parenting time is warranted, the court shall construct a parenting time schedule which maximizes the time each parent or de facto custodian has with the child and is consistent with ensuring the child's welfare. The court shall consider all relevant factors including:
(a) The wishes of the child's parent or parents, and any de facto custodian, as to his or her custody;
(b) The wishes of the child as to his or her custodian, with due consideration given to the influence a parent or de facto custodian may have over the child's wishes;
(c) The interaction and interrelationship of the child with his or her parent or parents, his or her siblings, and any other person who may significantly affect the child's best interests;
(d) The motivation of the adults participating in the custody proceeding;
(e) The child's adjustment and continuing proximity to his or her home, school, and community;
(f) The mental and physical health of all in.

BalanchineGeorge Balanchine is an important figure in the histor.docxwilcockiris
Balanchine
George Balanchine is an important figure in the history of ballet as he was a major exponent of ballet in the US. He established the first school of American ballet in NYC with Lincoln Kirstein in 1934. Balanchine’s style has been called Neoclassical and the success of his NYC Ballet has spawned many regional companies in the US, including Miami City Ballet, keeping his repertory alive. Balanchine brought a new aesthetic to ballet, stripping away its sentimentality and bringing attention to the movement rather than the spectacle. He brought quick footwork, precision and musicality to classical ballet technique. He collaborated extensively with the composer Stravinsky. His work with the Ballet Russe in the early 20th century exposed Balanchine to the most prominent musical composers and visual artists of the period (i.e. Picasso, Matisse, etc.) which influenced his experimentation with abstraction in the form.
Ballet continues to evolve today. Traditional classical ballets such as Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake are still performed today with the addition of more contemporary interpretations of the form. Some examples of contemporary ballet:
Modern Dance
Modern dance began as a departure from the restrictions of ballet and a desire to express a wider palette of the human experience. It emphasized the expression of emotion, the exploration of dynamics in the body and presented narratives in a more abstract manner. Some modern dance pioneers eventually developed their own codification and/or process for working. The postmodern dancers rejected codification of any kind as well as known methods for composition. They valued personal movement, innovative forms of performance and preferred abstraction over story telling.
Pioneers of Modern Dance
Isadora Duncan 1877-1927, believed movement should be drawn from nature and was inspired by Ancient Greece, wearing long toga-like robes in her performances. The Duncan technique was comprised of movements such as hopping, swinging, running, skipping and leaping; her desire was to free the body from the confines of ballet.
Ruth St Denis 1878-1968, was inspired by the dances of Asia, in addition to other culturally based forms. She is well known for her grand spectacles, creating a formal school/company. Her husband Ted Shawn was also a pioneer in modern dance who created an all male dance company in addition to performing with Ruth. Martha Graham was a student Ruth St. Denis and later became a member of her company.
Mary Wigman 1886-1973, was a German dancer/choreographer inspired by Expressionism, an artistic movement that emphasized raw emotions. She was a student of Rudolf Laban. In her famous Witch Dance, she went against traditional norms of female beauty in dance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtLSSuFlJ5c
Rudolf Laban 1879-1958, is sometimes referred to as the father of German modern dance; he developed a system for notating dance called Labanotation in addition to developin.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

References
Follow the most current version of APA to format your
references. However, each reference should be single-spaced
with a double space in between each entry. Formatting Details
Margins
The left-hand margin must be 1inches (4 cm.). Margins at the
right, top, and bottom of the page should be 1.0 inch. (See
exception for chapter title pages below.) The Research Report
text may be left-aligned (leaving a ragged right edge) or may be
both left- and right-aligned (justified).
Line Spacing
Double-spacing is required for most of the text in documents
submitted during the Research Report process.
Paragraph Spacing
5. The text of the document is double-spaced. There should be no
extra spaces between paragraphs in sections; however, indent
the first line of each paragraphs five spaces.
Page Numbering

upper right-hand corner.
Type Style
For body text, you should use 12-point Times New Roman. Text
for the cover page may be larger but should not exceed 14-point
size. Text for the chapter title text should be 14-point size. Be
consistent in your use of typefaces throughout the document. Do
not use a compressed typeface or any settings on your word
processor that would decrease the spacing between letters or
words. Sans serif typefaces such as Helvetica or Arial may be
used for relatively short blocks of text such as chapter headings
and captions but should be avoided in long passages of text as
they impede readability.
