1. What is your research question?
Do the indirect or direct exposures have influence for misinformation effecting testimony and eyewitness memory?
2. What is your hypothesis or hypotheses? What is the null hypothesis?
Hypothesis: Exposure towards misinformation leads to human memory distortions for events that are genuinely experienced and also individual details, places, and things and observer’s are misinformed thus portraying untrue information.
Null Hypothesis: The human memory is unaffected on events that are experienced, also individual details, places, and things and observer’s are not misinformed which does not portray untrue information.
3. How many participants would you like to use and why? What are the inclusion characteristics, i.e., what must they have in order to be included in your study (for example, gender, diagnosis, age, personality traits, etc.)? Are there any exclusion characteristics, i.e. are there certain characteristics that would exclude them from being in your study? Does the sample need to be diverse? Why or why not?
For such study 120 contestants, 60 female and 60 male members are used. The group comprises of persons between 18-55 years age. I have chosen 120 contestants representing equal gender split. They are split in 3 age groups, like 18-30, 31-44, and 45-55. This places 40 individuals in every group. The ethnicity and race are divided evenly between the groups. Excluding one criteria that individuals below 18 and over 55 years cannot participate. I rely as the sample is not diversified for generalizing my findings to the adults. Study cannot be completed by females only and the results are expected for males too.
4. What sampling technique will be used to collect your sample? What population does your sample generalize to?
Sampling technique used to collect the sample is convenience sampling. This is due to cost effectiveness and ease. It also provides the ability for choosing number of participants required. Individuals are invited to participate in the study till the amount desired and diversity is fulfilled.
Though convenience sampling is not greatly reviewed for generalizing the population, but if properly conducted between the parameters suggested above, the study must be generalized to the population of adults. There is no specific exclusion or inclusion criteria can control the generalization of a particular group. I have planned for splitting the gender for getting the equal percentage of ethnicities/race involved in the study and uniformly representing it in every age group. This helps towards better generalization of general population study.
5. What are the variables in your study? HINT: Refer back to your hypothesis or hypotheses.
The variables in the study include gender, race, age and ethnicity. The environment must be variable and the person must present the informa ...

1. How many participants would you like to use and why? What are the inclusion characteristics, i.e., what must they have in order to be included in your study (for example, gender, diagnosis, age, personality traits, etc.)? Are there any exclusion characteristics, i.e. are there certain characteristics that would exclude them from being in your study? Does the sample need to be diverse? Why or why not?
20 participants will be engaged in the research study. This is a small number that is easier to manage as well as coordinate their activities during the data collection exercise. Ideally, participants are required and are normally sampled from a large population to be a representative. The nature of the study will require the researcher to get participants who have experiences in marriage. On gender, I will sample equal number of men and women to act as the representative of the general population. The approach is guided by the population in the community where the number of women and men is at par. On age, I will pick individuals from across ages although the highest percentage will constitute of married individuals between the age of 30 and 40 years. Further, I will also pick four individuals who have divorced with the aim of understanding whether introversion or extroversion contributed to their divorce. I will also look at the personal traits of individuals; hence will both social and anti-social individuals. The target participants will precise, representative and homogeneous. They will then be divided into different sets or strata that are mutually exclusive in order to aid it obtaining a systematic process of research.
1. What sampling technique will be used to collect your sample? What population does yoursample generalize to?
Being a qualitative research, the research will utilize the sampling method in the collection of data. Surveying and questionnaire are the main data collection methods that are normally used in quantitative research. The methods aids in understanding the behavior and effects from different members of the focus groups. The approach helps to reduce biases that may emerge when using a bigger population size while at the same time gu ...

Why Does African American Mothers Use More Intense Disciplinary Practice Than African American Fathers?
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
i. Population and Sampling
The research is about African American parents and this means that the main population targeted by the study is the African American parents in the United States. According to U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, (2019); by the end of 2017; the country had a total of 41.4million African Americans. With over 10million African American parents in the United States, some are single parents while others are married couples. It is evident that the United States is a vast country which makes it impossible to reach out to African American parents in different states. For this study, the research will target the one state recording the highest number of African American parents which is Texas which has a total of 3,269,253 or (32%) of the total state population.
The African Americans living in Texas are from different African countries and this means they have different backgrounds, beliefs, and attitudes towards children disciplinary and hence would help to understand the difference between a father and a mother disciplinary practice. The simple random sampling technique will be applied where African American parents in Texas will be randomly selected to take part in the research study. According to Omair, (2014); simple random sampling technique helps in eliminating biasness in a research because all eligible participants have equal opportunities.
For one to become a participant, he/she must provide reliable evidence that he/she if an African American for instance an identification card or passport. The participant must also prove that he/she lives within the targeted region. The research will target approximately 2000 participants where a 1000 will be mothers whether single or married and the other 1000 fathers both single and married. The selected participants will be taken through a screening process to determine whether they understand what parenting is all about focusing on the disciplinary aspect of parenting and also their details would be collected at this point. After the selection process is complete, the participants to be taken through a briefing process of what the research is all about, what is expected of them, and how the research findings would be used. All these briefing will take place in a research identified location that would be considered as the research center all through the process.
ii. Instrumentation
To obtain data, interviews research assessment tool will be applied. The assessment tool will help in measuring the variables of interest in the study. This is through asking questions and rephrasing it for the purpose of determining whether the response given in the initial question corresponds with the response in the second question. It is evident that since Texas is a vast state, some participants might be located far away. The asses ...

As a researcher, I must consider various factors when selecting a qualitative research design for my study. These include the research question, the purpose of the study, the nature of the phenomenon being studied, and the available resources and time frame. Additionally, I must reflect on my own philosophical and theoretical perspectives to ensure that the chosen design aligns with my worldview and research goals.
Reflection
How does research design make your study colorful/ interesting?
As a researcher, I have come to appreciate how qualitative research design can add color and interest to a study. By using methods such as open-ended interviews, observations, and document analysis, I can capture the rich and complex experiences, perspectives, and contexts of the participants. This type of research allows me to delve deeper into the phenomenon being studied and gain a more nuanced understanding of it.
One of the benefits of using qualitative research is the ability to create vivid descriptions, quotes, and narratives that add depth and meaning to the study. It's fascinating to see how the data can come to life and offer a unique perspective on the topic. Additionally, I've found that unexpected findings often emerge during qualitative research, which can add to the intrigue and interest of the study.
Overall, I believe that qualitative research design offers a powerful way to explore the intricacies and nuances of human experience. It enables me to create a study that is more compelling and engaging, as well as provides insights that cannot be obtained through other research methods.

Communication researchers are interested in a population (also called a universe when applied to texts) of communicators, all the people who posses a particular characteristic, or, in the case of those who study texts, all the messages that share a characteristic of interest.
The population of interest to researchers (often called the target group) might be members of a business, communication majors at a university, all students at a university, all people living in a city, all eligible voters in a country.
Texts ( editorials published in a specific newspaper for a week, or a large universe such as every editorial published In every newspaper in the UAE, or even larger such as all persuasive messages).
The best way to generalize to a population is to study every member of a population (Census)
If every member is studied, we know, by definition, the population’s response at the point in time the study was done
Sample
The results from the sample are then generalized back to (used to represent) the population
Representative sample ( population validity)
Its similarity to its parent population

The results from the sample are then generalized back to (used to represent) the population). For such generalization to be valid (demonstrate population validity), the sample must be representative of its population. That is, it must accurately approximate the population.
Types of sampling
Random sampling (probability sampling)
Involves selecting a sample in such a way that each person in the population of interest has an equal chance of being included
Nonrandom sampling (nonprobability sampling)
Is what ever researchers do instead of using procedures that ensure that each member of a population has an equal chance of being selected
Sampling error
Is a number that express how much the characteristic of a sample probably differ from the characteristics of a population

There are 2 different types of sampling procedures, and differ in terms of how confident we are about the ability of the selected sample to represent the population from which it is drawn
Random sampling (probability sampling)
Involves selecting a sample in such a way that each person in the population of interest has an equal chance of being included
By giving everyone an equal chance , random sampling eliminates the danger of researchers biasing the selection process because of their own opinions or desires. By eliminating bias, random sampling provides the best assurance that the same characteristics of the population exist in the sample, and, therefore, that the sample represents the population.

C H7A P T E R Collecting
Qualitative Data
Qualitative data collection is more than simply deciding on whether you will observe or interview people. Five steps comprise the process of collecting qualitative data. You need to identify your participants and sites, gain access, determine the types of data to collect, develop data collection forms, and administer the process in an ethical manner.
By the end of this chapter, you should be able to:
· ◆ Identify the five process steps in collecting qualitative data.
· ◆ Identify different sampling approaches to selecting participants and sites.
· ◆ Describe the types of permissions required to gain access to participants and sites.
· ◆ Recognize the various types of qualitative data you can collect.
· ◆ Identify the procedures for recording qualitative data.
· ◆ Recognize the field issues and ethical considerations that need to be anticipated in administering the data collection. Maria is comfortable talking with students and teachers in her high school. She does not mind asking them open-ended research questions such as “What are your (student and teacher) experiences with students carrying weapons in our high school?” She also knows the challenges involved in obtaining their views. She needs to listen without injecting her own opinions, and she needs to take notes or tape-record what people have to say. This phase requires time, but Maria enjoys talking with people and listening to their ideas. Maria is a natural qualitative researcher.

CHAPTER 7 Collecting Qualitative Data 205 WHAT ARE THE FIVE PROCESS STEPS
IN QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTION?
There are five interrelated steps in the process of qualitative data collection. These steps should not be seen as linear approaches, but often one step in the process does follow another. The five steps are first to identify participants and sites to be studied and to engage in a sampling strategy that will best help you understand your central phenome- non and the research question you are asking. Second, the next phase is to gain access to these individuals and sites by obtaining permissions. Third, once permissions are in place, you need to consider what types of information will best answer your research questions. Fourth, at the same time, you need to design protocols or instruments for collecting and recording the information. Finally and fifth, you need to administer the data collection with special attention to potential ethical issues that may arise.
Some basic differences between quantitative and qualitative data collection are helpful to know at this point. Based on the general characteristics of qualitative research, qualita- tive data collection consists of collecting data using forms with general, emerging questions to permit the participant to generate responses; gathering word (text) or image (picture) data; and collecting information from a small number of individuals or sites. Thinking more specifically now ...
OverviewThe US is currently undergoing an energy boom largel.docxjacksnathalie
Overview
The US is currently undergoing an energy boom largely because of the development of the greatly expanded use of a well technique developed over 40 years ago - hydraulic fracking. It can be used for both oil and natural gas wells.. The technique allows previously unrecoverable oil and gas in old, played out wells to be accessed and increases the efficiency of recovery in new wells significantly. The current level of both recovery and new well drilling is dramatically higher than it has been for decades. The dramatic increase in well activity, some of which has been near towns and places no one thought drilling would ever occur. It has brought a great deal of attention to the technique and associated effects on everything from ground water and air pollution, to biodiversity disruption and earthquakes.
One important fact to weave into your opinion about fracking pro or con is that all of the sub-surface mineral rights in the US are owned by someone (a private individual, a business, or the state or federal government) but surface and mineral rights can be separated, i.e. sold. Originally, mineral rights were sold along with the land and then companies or individuals could decide if they wanted to keep or sell the mineral rights. Before mineral rights were so valuable, many people opted to sell their mineral rights to oil & gas companies. It never occurred to many people that someone would actually be drilling on their property or their neighbors. Oil and gas companies have a legal right to exercise their ownership options and if you are going to say "no" to them, then you owe them for what you are not letting them have, i.e. the money that would be produced if they were allowed to drill. This is not a trivial issue.
Instructions
This week’s discussion focuses on the pros and cons of hydraulic fracking and asks for your SCIENCE informed opinion on whether the economics and political fossil fuel issues justify the negative tradeoffs.
Address each of the following in your discussion:
How is fracking done and why are companies doing this action versus traditional drilling?
Are the environmental issues with fracking worse than conventional drilling? Why or why not?
Why are people along the Front Range and in other states where fracking is widespread, so upset about it now even though fracking has been occurring for a long time?
*In your initial post, please provide 3-4 references in APA format with in-text citations.

OverviewThe United Nations (UN) has hired you as a consultan.docxjacksnathalie
Overview
The United Nations (UN) has hired you as a consultant, and your task is to assess the impact that global warming is expected to have on population growth and the ability of societies in the developing world to ensure the adequate security of their food supplies.
Case Assessment
As the world’s population nears 10 billion by 2050, the effects of global warming are stripping some natural resources from the environment. As they diminish in number, developing countries will face mounting obstacles to improving the livelihoods of their citizens and stabilizing their access to enough food. The reason these governments are struggling even now is that our climate influences their economic health and the consequent diminishing living standards of their peoples. Climate changes are responsible for the current loss of biodiversity as well as the physical access to some critical farming regions. As such, these changes in global weather patterns diminish agricultural output and the distribution of food to local and international markets. These difficulties will become even more significant for these countries as the Earth’s climate changes for the worse. Temperatures are already increasing incrementally, and polar ice caps are melting, so the salient question is: what does this suggest for developing societies?
The issue before the developing world is not its lack of food, but rather how to gain access to food. Simply put, changes in our climate are affecting the global food chain, and hence, the living standards of entire populations. Added to this is the fact that food is not getting to where it is needed in time to prevent hunger or starvation. In many developing countries, shortages are due to governments’ control over distribution networks rather than an insufficient supply of food itself. In effect, these governments are weaponizing food by favoring certain ethnic or religious groups over others. When added to dramatic climate changes that we are experiencing even now, the future for billions of poor people looks increasingly dim.
Instructions
You are to write a minimum of a 5 page persuasive paper for the UN that addresses the following questions about the relationship between atmospheric weather patterns and food security in the developing world:
Climate change and global warming are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same phenomenon. What are the differences between the two concepts and what leads to the confusion between them?
In 1900, the average global temperature was about 13.7° Celsius (56.7° Fahrenheit) (Osborn, 2021), but as of 2020, the temperature has risen another 1.2°C to 14.9°C (58.9°F). According to the Earth and climate science community, if the Earth’s surface temperature rises another 2°C (3.6°F), we will suffer catastrophic weather patterns that, among other things, will raise sea levels, cause widespread droughts and wildfires, result in plant, insect, and animal extinctions, and reduce agricultura.

Overview
This project will allow you to write a program to get more practice with object-oriented ideas that we explored in the previous project, as well as some practice with more advanced ideas such as inheritance and the use of interfaces.
Ipods and other MP3 players organize a user's music selection into groups known as playlists. These are data structures that provide a collection of songs and an ordering for how those songs will be played. For this assignment you will be writing a set of PlayList classes that could be used for a program that organizes music for a user. These classes will be written to implement a particular PlayList interface so that they can be easily exchange in and out as the program requires. In addition, you will also be using the SimpleTrack class you wrote for the closed lab on Interfaces - if you did not finish this class before the end of lab, you will need to finish it before starting on this project.
Objectives
Practice with programming fundamentals
Review of various Java fundamentals (branching, loops, variables, methods, etc.)
Review of Java File I/O concepts
Practice with Java ArrayList concepts
Practice with object-oriented programming and design
Practice with Java interfaces
Project Description
The SimplePlaylist Class
Once you have coded and tested your SimpleTrack class, you will need to write a SimplePlaylist class that implements the Playist interface given in the project folder.
The SimplePlayList class stores music tracks in order - the first track added to the play list should be the first one removed from the play list. You should recognize this data structure as a
queue
(or a
first-in, first-out queue
). You do not need to implement the equals, hashCode and toString methods for this class but if you choose to do so make sure you document your implementations properly!
The PlayList Management Program
Once you have written and tested a SimpleTrack class and a SimplePlaylist class, it is time to use them to write a program to manage playlists. This program will simulate the playing of songs from a play list. For the SimplePlaylist, the songs are removed from the playlist as they are played, so you know that you're at the end of the list when your list is empty. This program should be implemented in the file MusicPlayerSimulator.java. Note that we are not defining ANY of the methods you are using for this program - the design is all up to you. You must, however, practice good programming style - make sure you are breaking the program up into smaller methods and aren't just trying to solve everything with one monolithic main method. If you have fewer than 5 methods for this program you are probably trying to fit too much into a single method.

OverviewProgress monitoring is a type of formative assessment in.docxjacksnathalie
Overview
Progress monitoring is a type of formative assessment in which student learning is evaluated
on a regular basis to provide useful feedback about performance to both students and
teachers. Though there are a number of methods for monitoring a student’s progress, the most
widely used is general outcome measurement, sometimes referred to as curriculum-based
measurement (CBM). Progress monitoring consists of the frequent administration (e.g., once
per month, every two weeks) of brief probes or tests, which include sample items from every
skill taught across the academic year. After each probe is scored, the teacher or student plots
the score on an individual CBM graph. The teacher can then use this data to determine a
student’s:
• Rate of growth — Average growth of a student’s mathematics skills over a period of time
• Performance level — An indication of a student’s current mathematics skills, often
denoted by a score on a test or probe.
You will determine the rate of growth for the two students listed on page 3 using the data provided.

C H7A P T E R Collecting
Qualitative Data
Qualitative data collection is more than simply deciding on whether you will observe or interview people. Five steps comprise the process of collecting qualitative data. You need to identify your participants and sites, gain access, determine the types of data to collect, develop data collection forms, and administer the process in an ethical manner.
By the end of this chapter, you should be able to:
· ◆ Identify the five process steps in collecting qualitative data.
· ◆ Identify different sampling approaches to selecting participants and sites.
· ◆ Describe the types of permissions required to gain access to participants and sites.
· ◆ Recognize the various types of qualitative data you can collect.
· ◆ Identify the procedures for recording qualitative data.
· ◆ Recognize the field issues and ethical considerations that need to be anticipated in administering the data collection. Maria is comfortable talking with students and teachers in her high school. She does not mind asking them open-ended research questions such as “What are your (student and teacher) experiences with students carrying weapons in our high school?” She also knows the challenges involved in obtaining their views. She needs to listen without injecting her own opinions, and she needs to take notes or tape-record what people have to say. This phase requires time, but Maria enjoys talking with people and listening to their ideas. Maria is a natural qualitative researcher.

CHAPTER 7 Collecting Qualitative Data 205 WHAT ARE THE FIVE PROCESS STEPS
IN QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTION?
There are five interrelated steps in the process of qualitative data collection. These steps should not be seen as linear approaches, but often one step in the process does follow another. The five steps are first to identify participants and sites to be studied and to engage in a sampling strategy that will best help you understand your central phenome- non and the research question you are asking. Second, the next phase is to gain access to these individuals and sites by obtaining permissions. Third, once permissions are in place, you need to consider what types of information will best answer your research questions. Fourth, at the same time, you need to design protocols or instruments for collecting and recording the information. Finally and fifth, you need to administer the data collection with special attention to potential ethical issues that may arise.
Some basic differences between quantitative and qualitative data collection are helpful to know at this point. Based on the general characteristics of qualitative research, qualita- tive data collection consists of collecting data using forms with general, emerging questions to permit the participant to generate responses; gathering word (text) or image (picture) data; and collecting information from a small number of individuals or sites. Thinking more specifically now ...
OverviewThe US is currently undergoing an energy boom largel.docxjacksnathalie
Overview
The US is currently undergoing an energy boom largely because of the development of the greatly expanded use of a well technique developed over 40 years ago - hydraulic fracking. It can be used for both oil and natural gas wells.. The technique allows previously unrecoverable oil and gas in old, played out wells to be accessed and increases the efficiency of recovery in new wells significantly. The current level of both recovery and new well drilling is dramatically higher than it has been for decades. The dramatic increase in well activity, some of which has been near towns and places no one thought drilling would ever occur. It has brought a great deal of attention to the technique and associated effects on everything from ground water and air pollution, to biodiversity disruption and earthquakes.
One important fact to weave into your opinion about fracking pro or con is that all of the sub-surface mineral rights in the US are owned by someone (a private individual, a business, or the state or federal government) but surface and mineral rights can be separated, i.e. sold.

Overview
Imagine you have been hired as a consultant for the United Nations. You have been asked to write an analysis on how global population growth has caused the following problem and how it affects
TURKEY
A growing global population that consumes natural resources is partially to blame for the release of greenhouse gases since human consumption patterns lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and farming (overturned dirt releases CO2). However, the critical issue is the burning of fossil fuels (hydrocarbons) such as coal oil and natural gas to produce energy that is used for things like electricity production, and vehicle, heating, and cooking fuels.

OverviewDevelop a 4–6-page position about a specific health care.docxjacksnathalie
Overview
Develop a 4–6-page position about a specific health care issue as it relates to a target vulnerable population. Include an analysis of existing evidence and position papers to help support your position. Your analysis should also present and respond to one or more opposing viewpoints.
Note
: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
Position papers are a method to evaluate the most current evidence and policies related to health care issues. They offer a way for researchers to explore the views of any number of organizations around a topic. This can help you to develop your own position and approach to care around a topic or issue.
This assessment will focus on analyzing position papers about an issue related to addiction, chronicity, emotional and mental health, genetics and genomics, or immunity. Many of these topics are quickly evolving as technology advances, or as we attempt to push past stigmas. For example, technology advances and DNA sequencing provide comprehensive information to allow treatment to become more targeted and effective for the individual. However as a result, nurses must be able to understand and teach patients about the impact of this information. With this great power comes concerns that patient conditions are protected in an ethical and compassionate manner.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Design evidence-based advanced nursing care for achieving high-quality population outcomes.
Evaluate the evidence and positions of others that could support a team's approach to improving the quality and outcomes of care for a specific issue in a target population.
Evaluate the evidence and positions of others that are contrary to a team's approach to improving the quality and outcomes of care for a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 2: Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of interprofessional interventions in achieving desired population health outcomes.

Overall Scenario Always Fresh Foods Inc. is a food distributor w.docxjacksnathalie
Overall Scenario
Always Fresh Foods Inc. is a food distributor with a central headquarters and main warehouse in Colorado, as well as two regional warehouses in Nevada and Virginia. The company runs Microsoft Windows 2019 on its servers and Microsoft Windows 10 on its workstations. There are 2 database servers, 4 application servers, 2 web servers, and 25 workstation computers in the headquarters offices and main warehouse. The network uses workgroups, and users are created locally on each computer. Employees from the regional warehouses connect to the Colorado network via a virtual private network (VPN) connection. Due to a recent security breach, Always Fresh wants to increase the overall security of its network and systems. They have chosen to use a solid multilayered defense to reduce the likelihood that an attacker will successfully compromise the company’s information security. Multiple layers of defense throughout the IT infrastructure makes the process of compromising any protected resource or data more difficult than any single security control. In this way, Always Fresh protects its business by protecting its information.
Scenario 1
Assume you are an entry-level security administrator working for Always Fresh. You have been asked to evaluate the option of adding Active Directory to the company’s network.
Tasks
Create a summary report to management that answers the following questions to satisfy the key points of interest regarding the addition of Active Directory to the network:
1. System administrators currently create users on each computer where users need access. In Active Directory, where will system administrators create users?
2. How will the procedures for making changes to the user accounts, such as password changes, be different in Active Directory?
3. What action should administrators take for the existing workgroup user accounts after converting to Active Directory?
4. How will the administrators resolve differences between user accounts defined on different computers? In other words, if user accounts have different settings on different computers, how will Active Directory address that issue? (Hint: Consider security identifiers [SIDs].)

OverviewCreate a 15-minute oral presentation (3–4 pages) that .docxjacksnathalie
Overview
Create a 15-minute oral presentation (3–4 pages) that examines the moral and ethical issues related to triaging patients in an emergency room.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
· Competency 1: Explain the effect of health care policies, legislation, and legal issues on health care delivery and patient outcomes.
. Explain the health care policies that can affect emergency care.
. Recommend evidence-based decision-making strategies nurses can use during triage.
· Competency 3: Apply professional nursing ethical standards and principles to the decision-making process.
. Describe the moral and ethical challenges nurses can face when following hospital policies and protocols.
. Explain how health care disparities impact treatment decisions.
· Competency 4: Communicate in a manner that is consistent with expectations of nursing professionals.
. Write content clearly and logically, with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.
. Correctly format citations and references using APA style.
Context
Working in an emergency room gives rise to ethical dilemmas. Due to time restraints and the patient's cognitive impairment and lack of medical history, complications can and do occur. The nurse has very little time to get detailed patient information. He or she must make a quick assessment and take action based on hospital protocol. The organized chaos of the emergency room presents unique ethical challenge, which is why nurses are required to have knowledge of ethical concepts and principles.
Questions to consider
To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community.
· How does a triage nurse decide which patient gets seen first?
· How does health disparity affect the triage nurse's decision making?
· What ethical and moral issues does the triage nurse take into account when making a decision?
· What are triage-level designations?

Overall feedbackYou addressed most all of the assignment req.docxjacksnathalie
Overall feedback:
You addressed most all of the assignment requirements. The assignment had several requirements including, but not limited to: an introduction, 3 questions, conclusion, and at least 2 scholarly references to support your claims. You did include an introduction. However, the introduction should briefly identify the key areas/sections to be covered in the paper. This helps the reader navigate through the organization of both your paper and thought process. You did address the question requirements. The assignment required at least 2 scholarly peer reviewed journal articles. Although you included several references, I only saw one scholarly peer reviewed journal article. Moving forward. Be sure to carefully review the instructions before and after you complete your final draft to ensure all requirements have been met. Second, always include an introduction which briefly describes what areas will be covered. Finally, make sure that you include the required number of scholarly peer reviewed journal articles to support your claims. If you have questions, please contact me.
be sure to fully address the question with terminology and concepts from the book to apply to the case. This demonstrates proficiency at the required tasks. For example, question 2 asked:
Question #2: Discuss your plans for developing formal job descriptions for the employees at the second shop
For this question, I was looking for your approach in terms of methods discussed in the text (interviews, observations, questionnaires, etc.) and application to the case study to show application of the concepts/theories.
As far as the scholarly peer reviewed journal articles, this is an essential part of supporting your claims at the graduate level of writing. The assignment required 2 scholarly peer reviewed journal articles. I only saw one? The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that you are supporting your claims with contemporary research within the management/business discipline. Second, this also gives credit to the author's ideas. While I do not point out every error or missing item on your paper, I focus on those areas/content that are required and can be improved. Moving forward, be sure to fully address each question with terminology from the text/material, as well as provide examples to demonstrate the ability to apply the concepts to the case study. I look forward to receiving your next paper. Second, be sure to include the required number of current (within past 5 years) scholarly peer reviewed journal articles to support your paper.

Over the years, the style and practice of leadership within law .docxjacksnathalie
Over the years, the style and practice of leadership within law enforcement agencies has gradually changed. In the past, leadership was primarily relegated to one individual within the department. However, there has been a transformation in leadership theory resulting in a more dynamic, multifaceted nature of teamwork, inclusion, and dispersed leadership. More and more, police chiefs are being encouraged to move toward a more participatory leadership style of management, one that encourages collaboration and cooperation in the decision-making process.
Based on your readings in the text and credible Internet research, respond to the following:

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

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

1. What is your research question?
Do the indirect or direct exposures have influence for
misinformation effecting testimony and eyewitness memory?
2. What is your hypothesis or hypotheses? What is the null
hypothesis?
Hypothesis: Exposure towards misinformation leads to human
memory distortions for events that are genuinely experienced
and also individual details, places, and things and observer’s
are misinformed thus portraying untrue information.
Null Hypothesis: The human memory is unaffected on events
that are experienced, also individual details, places, and things
and observer’s are not misinformed which does not portray
untrue information.
3. How many participants would you like to use and why? What
are the inclusion characteristics, i.e., what must they have in
order to be included in your study (for example, gender,
diagnosis, age, personality traits, etc.)? Are there any exclusion
characteristics, i.e. are there certain characteristics that would
2. exclude them from being in your study? Does the sample need
to be diverse? Why or why not?
For such study 120 contestants, 60 female and 60 male members
are used. The group comprises of persons between 18-55 years
age. I have chosen 120 contestants representing equal gender
split. They are split in 3 age groups, like 18-30, 31-44, and 45-
55. This places 40 individuals in every group. The ethnicity and
race are divided evenly between the groups. Excluding one
criteria that individuals below 18 and over 55 years cannot
participate. I rely as the sample is not diversified for
generalizing my findings to the adults. Study cannot be
completed by females only and the results are expected for
males too.
4. What sampling technique will be used to collect your sample?
What population does your sample generalize to?
Sampling technique used to collect the sample is convenience
sampling. This is due to cost effectiveness and ease. It also
provides the ability for choosing number of participants
required. Individuals are invited to participate in the study till
the amount desired and diversity is fulfilled.
Though convenience sampling is not greatly reviewed for
generalizing the population, but if properly conducted between
the parameters suggested above, the study must be generalized
to the population of adults. There is no specific exclusion or
inclusion criteria can control the generalization of a particular
group. I have planned for splitting the gender for getting the
equal percentage of ethnicities/race involved in the study and
uniformly representing it in every age group. This helps towards
better generalization of general population study.
5. What are the variables in your study? HINT: Refer back to
your hypothesis or hypotheses.
The variables in the study include gender, race, age and
ethnicity. The environment must be variable and the person
must present the information. The information given by itself is
considered a variable for few misinformation received and some
not. The method that presents information is a variable too as
3. few may be receiving misinformation through a person’s
discussion read in a paragraph style. The event observed is a
variable. The participant’s survey taken is also a variable.
6. Provide operational definitions for each variable.
Gender: Relates to sex of a person.
Age: The consideration of the number of passing years since
birth determined by deducting the birth year and the current
year. Subtract 1 for reaching month and day.
Race: A communal concept for classifying humans by cultural,
anatomical, ethnic, geographical, genetic, historical, religious,
linguistic and communal affiliation.
Ethnicity: classifying person’s as African American, European
American, Pacific Islander/ Asian American, Native American,
Latino or Other.
Information: details or Facts of a subject; understanding for
obtaining someone or something.
Misinformation: Information which is intentionally untrue and
inaccurate which is deliberately spread.
Discussion: conversation among a person(s) on a topic(s) for
reaching a decision or for exchanging information and ideas.
Event: An incident, something which happens, or is considered
as happening in a specific place in a specific time interval.
Survey: “Method of collection of information or facts as stated
by people. This type of collection of data is called self-report
data that implies that the people have completed the survey
themselves” (Alleydog.com, 2014).
7. How will you measure each variable? Discuss the reliability
and validity of these measures in general terms.
Gender: measuring is nominal be it female or male. The
measure is trustworthy for measuring a person’s gender as
female or male. It is valid logically for measuring the measure
intended.
Age: is calculated on time scale. The measure is trustworthy for
measurement is either within age group or not. It has validity
for providing a measurement of person’s age.
Race: measured in categories of Indian American or Alaska
4. Native, African or Black American, Asian Hawaiian Native or
Pacific Islander, or White. This is trustworthy as the individual
gives same answers to the question and is valid for measuring
the measure intended.
Ethnicity: measured in categories of Latino or Hispanic or Not
Hispanic or Latino. This is trustworthy as the individual gives
same answers to the question and is valid for measuring the
measure intended.
Misinformation: measured in a nominal point with received and
non received categories. This is trustworthy as it known
whether the contestants received or have not received
misinformation. It is valid as it is answerable to the question on
participant’s getting misinformation or not.
8. What technique will be used for data collection (e.g.,
observation, survey, interview, archival, etc.)?
The technique used for data collection is watching video clip
and preparing with pencil and paper for survey questionnaire
having numerous steps.
9. What type of research design is being used?
Research design is being used is correlational research. This
research type helps in relationships among two or even more
than two variables like misinformation receiving and its affect
on the memory of eyewitness and testimony. We will utilize a
quantitative technique. We are utilizing a research survey
design involving questionnaire for gathering information from
the contestants.
10. Briefly discuss the procedure that would be followed when
conducting the research.
The contestants will be watching a video of two minute on
crime. Then they will cover the survey having multiple stages.
The first stage includes word search, crossword puzzles, Sudoku
and mazes where 8 minutes work time is given. The next part
includes narrative. One narrative version depicts the video clip
events with true data’s and details and a variant version
containing misleading data in five parts of untrue information.
They have only 3 minutes for reading the narrative. After they
5. have read the narrative, contestants will be handing over and
completing a questionnaire on the event witnessed containing 20
questions, five of which address the misleading data on the
surveys with misleading information. Participants in discussion
team are instructed for discussing the questions collaboratively
with their partners and can select a single response to the asked
questions. They have 10 minutes for completing the survey.
This is followed by four demographic questions on gender, race,
age and ethnicity with 5 minutes for completion. After 5
minutes another question is given including a free recalling
prompt, following 20 more recalling questions for both group’s
individuals. 10 minutes is given for completing this
questionnaire and are instructed for continuing with filler
activities when time is left.
11. What are some potential ethical issues? How might they be
addressed?
Some potential ethical issues are-:
· Careful access to research interpretation, data collection and
survey.
· Acknowledgment of the surveys repeatedly with utilization of
the information.
· Aiming for advancement in the research and knowledge.

Investment Philosophy
This statement provides the ideology with which all investments
at UMUC Portfolio Management are made. It is the ideology
that has made us a market leader in portfolio management,
realizing high returns for our clients. As a wealth management
professional at UMUC, I have internalized and profess this
9. philosophy in order to construct the best investment strategy for
you. The mark of true excellence in portfolio management is
more than just high returns on investments, it is investor
satisfaction. Our investments must entirely fit the investor’s
needs.
Client RelatedGoals
We believe in setting goals for the investments we make for our
clients. We walk our clients through realizing what they require
from their investment in the way of risk and return. We like to
understand what our client’s risk palate is so that we can make
investments they can be comfortable with. The client is also
made to understand what level of returns they expect from their
investment and whether it is feasible.Constraints
The proven economic theory of limited resources urges us to
consider what limitations the client might have in funding their
investment. The firm will need to know how big a pot it is
working out of and what time horizons to work within. The
client’s capital amount will be of utmost importance in
determining the size of their portfolio. Time horizons as with
how soon the investment can be liquidated will determine
whether to invest in long-term or short-term financial
instruments.
Company related issuesInvestment discipline
UMUC Portfolio Management believes in the power of good
research. Every investment made is supported by empirical
market data, reached through thorough scrutiny of the market
movements. This ensures we make well-informed investment
decisions all the time. Investment Strategy
Client needs
The client is ready to invest $100,000 for a five week period.
The client appears to be risk neutral, wishing to invest in high
risk investments but also mitigating the risk exposure by
diversifying the portfolio. The client specified that the portfolio
10. should have five investments to that end.
Financial Instruments
Given the five week time horizon, the company the firm should
focus on acquiring short term securities that satisfy the client’s
risk palate. I recommend investing in the derivatives market and
non-government fixed interest borrowing. The derivatives
market holds the most promise for riskiness and diversity. I
identify bond futures, interest rate futures, currency futures and
commodity options, especially gold and oil, as lucrative
investment opportunities in the bond market.
The bond market will be affected by individual companies’
performance, interest rates by national economy movements,
and currency rates by export and import trends in the country.
Gold and oil futures always seem to be positively correlated in
their price movements. All this makes for a highly diversified
portfolio. The fact that each security is tied to a different
industry reduces the systematic risk considerably. As for fixed
interest investments, I am inclined towards the security of
certificates of deposit (CDs). The rate of return on CDs is
higher than for other non-government fixed interest borrowing
financial instruments. They also fit the time horizon within
which the client requires us to work.
I suggest we build an investment portfolio consisting of these
five instruments since they are best tailored for the client’s goal
of high return. The high return is feasible in the five week time
horizon presented by the client, and the risk involved is
mitigated by the diversity of the financial instruments and the
industry within which they are marketed.
Asset allocation
The study by Brinson et al awoke the investment world to the
importance of asset allocation to rate of return for a portfolio.
The choice of how much of what investment to purchase lies
ultimately with UMUC. Careful consideration should be given
to the weight of each investment in the portfolio. This will call
11. for several iterations in calculating the risk of the portfolio and
the expected return with different combinations of the weights
of the component investments. This should help identify the
efficient frontier from which we can decide which combination
of investments will lead to realizing maximum return with
minimum risk.
