The document describes a simulation conducted using STELLA software to investigate factors that influence the period of a simple pendulum. The simulation aimed to study the effects of mass, initial displacement, and string length on the amplitude, period, and frequency. The results showed that mass had no effect on period, initial displacement increased amplitude but not period, and increasing string length directly increased period as the length appears in the period calculation formula. The simulation allowed interactive exploration of variable effects and helped students better understand pendulum motion concepts.

VoIP is a technology that allows phone calls to be made over the internet. It works by converting analog voice signals to digital data that is sent in packets over IP networks. Common VoIP technologies include H.323, SIP, and RTP. VoIP can be implemented through analog telephone adapters, IP phones, or computer-to-computer calls. While VoIP provides benefits like low costs and integration with other applications, it also faces challenges related to quality of service, emergency calls, and lack of redundancy in case of power failures.

Advancing Health Equity through State Implementation of Health ReformNASHP HealthPolicy
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) provides opportunities for states to make lasting
and comprehensive systems change in their approaches to achieving health equity
for their most vulnerable populations. Through provisions in areas such as coverage
and access, prevention, care coordination, population health, and quality and efficiency,
the Act offers state policymakers a broad range of policy levers for improving health care
and the health status of their racial and ethnic minority populations.
With support from the Aetna Foundation, the National Academy for State Heath Policy is hosting a
webinar to highlight the opportunities presented by health care reform to advance state health equity
agendas. In addition to featuring national health equity experts and information on how states are
using the ACA to achieve health equity, this webinar will announce the NASHP State Health Equity
Learning Collaborative, an initiative to help state policymakers maintain momentum towards achieving
health equity while implementing federal health care reform.

Increasing self management of chronic conditions through the use of PAM and MINASHP HealthPolicy
This document discusses using the Patient Activation Measure (PAM) and motivational interviewing (MI) to increase self-management of chronic conditions. It provides information on PAM, which measures patient activation in managing their own health on four levels. MI is used to help patients progress to higher activation levels based on assessing their stage of change. The document includes a case study showing how a patient's PAM level increased from 2 to 3 after developing an action plan, and another where a level 1 patient lost 100 pounds and met surgery goals. It notes that motivation and activation can change with life events, and screening for depression is important as it impacts self-management.

Texas: Self-determination with Consumer Directed ServicesNASHP HealthPolicy
Texas has a consumer directed services (CDS) program that gives long-term care recipients some control over their services while operating within the constraints of waiver programs and rules. CDS allows individuals to hire and manage their own attendants but does not provide a cash option. While utilization has increased in recent years, the program faces challenges in outreach, oversight, and budget flexibility. Future considerations include expanding recipient responsibilities and establishing a self-determination waiver.
