Evidence-based practice is an approach to health care where health c.docxtheodorelove43763
Evidence-based practice is an approach to health care where health care professionals use the best evidence possible or the most appropriate information available to make their clinical decisions. Research studies are gathered from the literature and assessed so that decisions about application can be done so with as much insight as possible. Not all research is able to be taken into the clinical practice that is why assessing the literature and determining if it is possible to carry out in a safe and effective manner is important. The steps that make up the evidence-based practice is first to ask a question which pertains to your clinical practice, then search for research and literature that will help solve your question. Third step is to evaluate the evidence and determine if it can be used safely and effectively in your clinical practice, then you must apply the information to your clinical experience and with your patient’s values. Finally, you must evaluate the outcome and determine if the desired effect is being reached. (LoBiondo-Wood, 2014)
The nursing process is drilled into our education as nurses and with good reason. The nursing process is used countless times throughout our practice. I was taught the acronym ADPIE which stands for assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. When assessing it is important to gather as much information on the patient whether it be subjective or objective findings. After we make a nursing diagnosis based on our assessment and then we plan on how to best care for our patient, and what our goals and their goals are for their care. Once the plan is made and the patient consents to the care plan then we can implement the plan. After we implement, we evaluate whether our goals and the patient’s goals are being reached. If not, we begin the nursing process all over again. (LoBiondo-Wood, 2014) In my own practice I use the nursing practice on every patient and even do it multiple times. When a patient enters the emergency room they are immediately being assessed and then once the physical and interview assessments are done the nurse creates a nursing diagnosis. The nurse creates a care plan that is based on evidence-based practice and goes over it with patient to gain consent.
The difference between these two processes is how they begin. The nursing process begins by gathering as much information as possible to then give a nursing diagnosis. While evidence-based practice begins by posing a question first and then gathering as much information as possible. They do have similarities especially when it comes to the end of the processes. Evaluating whether the care plan is working in the nursing process or whether the research and literature brought out a successful new take on the clinical practice. They both need to make the outcomes are as expected and if they are not it is back to the beginning of the process.

TECHEDGE CASE STUDY WRITE-UP - OUTLINE 2
Our consulting team, RAL Consulting, was hired by TechEdge to evaluate its current
organization structure and behavior, identify areas of needed improvement, point out a list of
actionable items for the company to improve its performance and how to implement those. This
case outlines our team’s consulting process to produce a final case write-up.
CASE OUTLINE
1. Introduction (at least 1 but no more than 2 pages)
Overview and history of TechEdge (one or two paragraphs)
TechEdge offered technology consulting service to other business, in a B2B business model.
According to Prabhu & Hedgei, the company structure was divided into sales, consulting,
support and services, back office operations, finance and software. All these departments were
led by vice presidents who reported to the CEO. The VPs assisted the managers, who led their
teams independently in their departments.
TechEdge: Main Organizational Behavior issues (half - 1 page)
The case presented a summarized list of challenges faced by TechEdge. (For next assignment,
List 5 major reasons listed on the case on page 5). Our consulting team identified a few
behaviors that might be driving these 5 major issues. These are:
§ HR v. VP responsibilities
o HRs responsibilities limited to recruiting while VPs were managing, training and
evaluating performance of the employees.
o HR not assisting with people management issues.
§ Team leader v. VP responsibilities
o Team leaders were responsible for team performance, but each team member
reported to their respective VP.
TECHEDGE CASE STUDY WRITE-UP - OUTLINE 3
o Lack of unity and shared objectives
§ Group v. Team structure.
o Different departments working together as temporary teams without a clear
common objective. Each department was more focused on their own tasks.
§ General sense of unaccountability between teams:
o All teams felt they didn’t receive adequate support from the operations
department
o Dissatisfaction from Operations VP: Complaints about overload of work,
dependency on external factors, and not enough time to fulfil other teams’
expectations
o Finance team complained about not having enough funds due to bad performance
of the sales team
§ General feeling that the company was understaffed
§ HR team couldn’t hire the best employees offering low wages
Among all items listed, our consulting team considers the following the m.
Evidence SynthesisCritique the below evidence synthesis ex.docxtheodorelove43763
Evidence Synthesis
Critique the below evidence synthesis exemplar to address the following.
Patient falls with injury and fall prevention remain complex phenomena in the acute care setting as well as a major challenge for healthcare professionals (Gygax Spicer, 2017). Patient falls are considered one of the leading adverse events occurring in acute care settings such as hospitals and nursing homes, with the detrimental impact to the patient ranging from mild to severe bruising, fractures, trauma, and even death (de Medeiros Araújo et al., 2017). Falls are common phenomena in older adults, with roughly one out of three people age 65 years and older who suffers from at least one fall per year due to multiple factors including environmental, social, and physiological factors either alone or in conjunction (Gygax Spicer, 2017). The etiology is that patients are attempting to get out of bed without assistance from nursing staff. Several of the causative factors include illness, impulsiveness, urgency, medications, or being in an unfamiliar environment. Lastly, there has been an increase in the amount of turnover in staffing, thus reducing the amount of available nursing staff in the practice setting.
Does the author clearly identify the scope of the evidence synthesis? Explain your rationale.
Are strong paraphrased sentences included that are supported by contemporary sources of research evidence? Explain your rationale.
Are the facts related to the practice problem presented in an objective manner? Explain your rationale.
Does the author use sources to support ideas and claims, and not the other way around? Explain your rationale.
Based on your appraisal, is this exemplar a true synthesis of the evidence? Or is it a summary of the evidence? Explain your rationale.

Evidence-based practice is an approach to health care where health c.docxtheodorelove43763
Evidence-based practice is an approach to health care where health care professionals use the best evidence possible or the most appropriate information available to make their clinical decisions. Research studies are gathered from the literature and assessed so that decisions about application can be done so with as much insight as possible. Not all research is able to be taken into the clinical practice that is why assessing the literature and determining if it is possible to carry out in a safe and effective manner is important. The steps that make up the evidence-based practice is first to ask a question which pertains to your clinical practice, then search for research and literature that will help solve your question. Third step is to evaluate the evidence and determine if it can be used safely and effectively in your clinical practice, then you must apply the information to your clinical experience and with your patient’s values. Finally, you must evaluate the outcome and determine if the desired effect is being reached. (LoBiondo-Wood, 2014)
The nursing process is drilled into our education as nurses and with good reason. The nursing process is used countless times throughout our practice. I was taught the acronym ADPIE which stands for assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. When assessing it is important to gather as much information on the patient whether it be subjective or objective findings. After we make a nursing diagnosis based on our assessment and then we plan on how to best care for our patient, and what our goals and their goals are for their care. Once the plan is made and the patient consents to the care plan then we can implement the plan. After we implement, we evaluate whether our goals and the patient’s goals are being reached. If not, we begin the nursing process all over again. (LoBiondo-Wood, 2014) In my own practice I use the nursing practice on every patient and even do it multiple times. When a patient enters the emergency room they are immediately being assessed and then once the physical and interview assessments are done the nurse creates a nursing diagnosis. The nurse creates a care plan that is based on evidence-based practice and goes over it with patient to gain consent.
The difference between these two processes is how they begin. The nursing process begins by gathering as much information as possible to then give a nursing diagnosis. While evidence-based practice begins by posing a question first and then gathering as much information as possible. They do have similarities especially when it comes to the end of the processes. Evaluating whether the care plan is working in the nursing process or whether the research and literature brought out a successful new take on the clinical practice. They both need to make the outcomes are as expected and if they are not it is back to the beginning of the process.

TECHEDGE CASE STUDY WRITE-UP - OUTLINE 2
Our consulting team, RAL Consulting, was hired by TechEdge to evaluate its current
organization structure and behavior, identify areas of needed improvement, point out a list of
actionable items for the company to improve its performance and how to implement those. This
case outlines our team’s consulting process to produce a final case write-up.
CASE OUTLINE
1. Introduction (at least 1 but no more than 2 pages)
Overview and history of TechEdge (one or two paragraphs)
TechEdge offered technology consulting service to other business, in a B2B business model.
According to Prabhu & Hedgei, the company structure was divided into sales, consulting,
support and services, back office operations, finance and software. All these departments were
led by vice presidents who reported to the CEO. The VPs assisted the managers, who led their
teams independently in their departments.
TechEdge: Main Organizational Behavior issues (half - 1 page)
The case presented a summarized list of challenges faced by TechEdge. (For next assignment,
List 5 major reasons listed on the case on page 5). Our consulting team identified a few
behaviors that might be driving these 5 major issues. These are:
§ HR v. VP responsibilities
o HRs responsibilities limited to recruiting while VPs were managing, training and
evaluating performance of the employees.
o HR not assisting with people management issues.
§ Team leader v. VP responsibilities
o Team leaders were responsible for team performance, but each team member
reported to their respective VP.
TECHEDGE CASE STUDY WRITE-UP - OUTLINE 3
o Lack of unity and shared objectives
§ Group v. Team structure.
o Different departments working together as temporary teams without a clear
common objective. Each department was more focused on their own tasks.
§ General sense of unaccountability between teams:
o All teams felt they didn’t receive adequate support from the operations
department
o Dissatisfaction from Operations VP: Complaints about overload of work,
dependency on external factors, and not enough time to fulfil other teams’
expectations
o Finance team complained about not having enough funds due to bad performance
of the sales team
§ General feeling that the company was understaffed
§ HR team couldn’t hire the best employees offering low wages
Among all items listed, our consulting team considers the following the m.

Evidence Synthesis
Critique the below evidence synthesis exemplar to address the following.
Patient falls with injury and fall prevention remain complex phenomena in the acute care setting as well as a major challenge for healthcare professionals (Gygax Spicer, 2017). Patient falls are considered one of the leading adverse events occurring in acute care settings such as hospitals and nursing homes, with the detrimental impact to the patient ranging from mild to severe bruising, fractures, trauma, and even death (de Medeiros Araújo et al., 2017). Falls are common phenomena in older adults, with roughly one out of three people age 65 years and older who suffers from at least one fall per year due to multiple factors including environmental, social, and physiological factors either alone or in conjunction (Gygax Spicer, 2017). The etiology is that patients are attempting to get out of bed without assistance from nursing staff. Several of the causative factors include illness, impulsiveness, urgency, medications, or being in an unfamiliar environment. Lastly, there has been an increase in the amount of turnover in staffing, thus reducing the amount of available nursing staff in the practice setting.
Does the author clearly identify the scope of the evidence synthesis? Explain your rationale.
Are strong paraphrased sentences included that are supported by contemporary sources of research evidence? Explain your rationale.

Evaluation is the set of processes and methods that managers and sta.docxtheodorelove43763
Evaluation is the set of processes and methods that managers and stakeholders use to determine whether the program is successful. Success is determined by multiple parameters such as financial viability of the program as well as the administrative and clinical impact of the program on the community’s or organization’s mission. Today’s programs are also expected to proactively address healthcare disparities and inequities in all levels of communities and demonstrate measureable reductions in inequities in diverse patient/client populations.
For this milestone, you will create an evaluation plan that will include the financial aspects of your proposed program as well as your evaluation methods. In your submission, be sure to include the following:
Proposed Program :to establish a department in IGM to facilitate holistic care of pediatric patients. This holistic care will require patients to be monitored before, during, and after a clinical procedure. The program will be flexible to ensure that each patient receives customized care at a subsidized fee.
Financial Aspects
o What specific resources would you suggest for use in your program? For example, what staffing and equipment suggestions would you make?
Be sure to explain your rationale.
o What is the impact on the community’s or organization’s current budget? In other words, will the program fit into the existing budget, or willconcessions need to be made?
o What recommendations would you make for ensuring the program is financially sustainable? Are there measurable expense reductions for the community/organization that cover the costs of the program? Does the program create new sources of revenue for the community or organization to offset the costs of the program?
Evaluation
o What will you measure (such as benchmarks, patient outcomes, or other measurable data) in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the program implementation? Focus on both administrative and clinical measures. Include multiple levels of measurement, including the patients/clients served, populations of patients/clients served, and community environmental measures.
o What tools will you use to measure the effect of your program on reducing the incidence of healthcare disparities?
o How will these evaluation tools tell you whether the program is successful?
o To what extent will the program help ensure healthcare equity across diverse populations? Be sure to justify your reasoning.
Guidelines for Submission: Your paper for this milestone must be submitted as a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and proper APA formatting. Include at least three peer-reviewed, scholarly resources.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.
