Ga discussion,
1. The concept in the study is positioning the nation’s largest auto insurer, State Farm, as the most safety-conscious insurer by providing funds for communities to further research their dangerous intersections and initiate improvement based on the research. The constructs in the study are:
· Granting $20,000 to every city with a dangerous intersection on the overall list to defray the cost of a comprehensive traffic engineering study of the intersection.
· Granting $100,000 to each city named to the national top 10 dangerous intersection list to defray some of the cost of making improvements.
Sabirov states, “… a concept is a complex of views on something phenomena related to each other and forming an interconnected system; it is a certain way of understanding, interpreting any phenomena in some field” (2021, p. 7).
2. A hypothesis that might drive the research of one of the cities on the top 10 dangerous intersection list is the number of fatal incidents that have occurred at the intersection. “The formulation of a hypothesis provides a study with focus. It tells what specific aspects of a research problem to investigate, what data to be collected, and what not are to be collected, thereby providing focus are to be the study. As it provides a focus, the construction of a hypothesis enhances objectivity in a study” (Pawar, 2019, p. 3).
3. State Farm’s research uses a multiple-methodology design. Data is collected from State Farm’s databases and internal incident reports, and information is gathered from the industry market share. Čančer explains that a multi-methodology, “… uses more than one quantitative and/or qualitative method or methodology in tackling some real-world problem” (2017, p. 3).
4. If I were representing State Farm and was given the task of reviewing feedback from the transportation engineers, I would listen to what is being said without any prejudgments. Their concerns would be acknowledged and given a chance to be considered. “… feedback is defined as “perspectives, feelings, and opinions individuals have about their experiences with an organization, product, or service that are used to inform and improve the practice and decision-making of that organization” (Nolan, 2019, p. 2). The first concern of the transportation engineers is the demand for immediate solutions. It would be addressed by stating that the purpose of this study is to improve dangerous intersections. It is a process that cannot be rushed, and an immediate solution would be given when research is finished. The transportation engineers’ second concern of accidents with injuries and deaths to be given more attention is understandable and would be considered for research. “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter” (King James Bible, 2017, Proverbs 25:2).
5. Traffic volume counts would be part of the 2003 study. Some jurisdictions were upset that it wasn’t initially included in the study. An e ...

>The Scenario
State Farm Insurance has a rich history of proactive safety involvement in auto and
appliance design to reduce injury and property loss. In June 2001, State Farm
Insurance, Inc., released the second report in its Dangerous Intersection reporting
series. State Farm modeled its program after an initiative by the Insurance Corporation
of British Columbia, Canada (ICBC), and the American Automobile Association of
Michigan (AAA) to help position the nation’s largest auto insurer as the most safety-
conscious insurer. ICBC had patterned its program on an earlier effort in Victoria,
Australia. AAA, in turn, benchmarked its program on the ICBC program. AAA
invited State Farm to help fund one of its intersection studies. State Farm saw this as
an opportunity to expand its effort into a nationwide campaign in 1999. “The 2001
study is part of a larger effort focused on loss prevention and improving the safety of
intersections around the U.S.A.,” shared State Farm research engineer John
Nepomuceno. State Farm has allocated significant resources as well as funds to the
initiative. Since its inception, every city with an intersection on the overall list of
dangerous intersections is eligible to apply for a $20,000 grant to defray the cost of
a comprehensive traffic engineering study of the intersection. Additionally, each city
named to the national top 10 dangerous intersection list is eligible for a grant of
$100,000 per intersection to defray some of the cost of making improvements. All
totaled, State Farm offered $4.44 million to the safety initiative in its first year.
Due to its large market share, State Farm is the only U.S. insurer in a position to
mine its databases for the requisite information on accidents to come up with a
viable U.S. list. But it found that although it had the interest to do so, its data warehouse
did not have sufficient information to tally accident rates for intersections. To rectify
this, in 1998 State Farm included a location field as part of the data that its claims
adjusters regularly complete. This location information, in open-text format, indicates
whether the accident took place in an intersection or as part of an incident related to
an intersection accident, and identifies the intersection. Following the 1999 study,
the fields for identifying intersections were further refined.

■Major findings or conclusions
■Approach to analysis or methodology
■Recommendations (Optional: depends on expectations of the client)
The following executive summary provides a synopsis of a ninety-page study titled Freight Trucking: Promising Approach for Predicting Carriers’ Safety Risks (Washington, DC: U.S. General Accounting Office, Program Evaluation and Methodology Division, April 1991).
Executive Summary
Purpose
Freight trucks pose special safety risks. Over 4,000 people are killed annually in accidents related to heavy trucks. Fatalities are about twice as likely in accidents involving tractor-trailer trucks as in those involving automobiles only.
In recent years, the Congress has approved legislation to prevent situations that give rise to unsafe trucking operations. As a means toward this end, the House Committee on Public Works and Transportation and its Surface Transportation Subcommittee requested that United States General Accounting Office (GAO) determine whether certain economic and other conditions could be used as predictors of safety outcomes. GAO’s study had the following three objectives: (1) to formulate a predictive model specifying hypothetical relationships between safety and a set of conditions in the trucking industry; (2) to assess the availability and quality of federal data required to test the model; and (3) to use available data, to the extent possible, to develop a set of indicators that would predict safety problems in the freight-trucking industry.
The value of a workable model is that.

Study On Traffic Conlict At Unsignalized Intersection In Malaysia IOSR Journals
The research conducted is traffic conflict at unsignalized intersections . The purpose of this research
is to study accident data used as an identification of hazardous location leads to less accurate countermeasures.
It is because accidents are not always reported especially accident involving damage only and this situation can
reduce good comparative analysis. To overcome these lacks of accident data, many ways of employing nonaccident
data have been suggested. One of the ways using non-accident data is traffic conflicts, which is defined
as critical incidents not necessarily involving collisions. The traffic conflict technique was originally set up to
provide more reliable data and information of traffic problems at intersections which actually would replace the
unclear and incomplete recorded data accident. The conflict study was done at the selected unsignalized
intersection where types of traffic conflict can be identified and classified. Various road users involved in the
conflict at the unsignalized intersection were also observed. Then conflicts data captured were analyzed using
the computer program to observe for any conflicts at the intersections. The linear regression graph was used to
show the relationship between conflict and accident data where two different equations were derived from the
graph. This equation may be used to make a prediction for the relationship that might exist between those two
variables at another location.

Identification of road traffic fatal crashes leading factors using principal ...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Traffic crash fatalities create primary safety concern beyond the traffic congestion and delay. Therefore, the purpose of this study
is to identify the principal components/factors associated with road traffic crash in the U.S. through retrospective reviewing based
on more than two million records of fatal crashes and 38 years (1975-2012) of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
official’s Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) database. This study portrays an integrated geographic information system
and SAS application in order to find the major factors forcing traffic crashes. The resulting geospatial analysis and principal
components analysis yielded critical significant factors causing fatal traffic crashes. The outcomes of this research could be used
in transportation safety policy making and planning significantly.

Writing Conclusions for Research Papers
What is the purpose of a conclusion?
A conclusion is supposed to provide the “final verdict,” or the “moral of the story” for the essay.
It is the writer’s last attempt at providing a memorable ending to the paper.
It explains why the topic is important and what the reader should learn from it.
A conclusion is not…
A repetition of the thesis statement and its points
Only a summary of the paper’s main points
A paragraph so detailed is resembles a body paragraph
A paragraph that goes into a new or unrelated topic
Two or three sentences long (i.e. “two sentences plus a catchy quote.”
Example of good conclusions
Making a recommendation or offering a solution to the problem
In conclusion, social media is not only responsible in many cases for ruining a marriage, sometimes it is responsible for ruining the entire family balance. These social platforms affect the stability of the couple creating a detachment in the everyday life; once the stability is broken and the distance starts to increase, most likely a sense of jealousy will generate and possibly lead to infidelity. It is easy for many users to blame social media for the end of their marriage, and because of this, it is important to use social media for a limited time with non-malicious intentions. The responsible use of the platforms may protect marriages from being permanently damaged and give a couple the possibility to live a much happier life together.
Painting a picture of the future if the problem is solved or handled correctly
Modern technology continues to prove its merit within the medical field furthering our understanding of ADHD as well as providing invaluable resources available to the public and educational institutions in which to simplify the management of this troublesome condition. It’s used to aid children throughout their academic endeavors, which, will dictate how they enter society and cope with symptoms that will be with them until future technology can find a cure. Data collection will only grow as technology is further implemented in ADHD treatment and is the key to developing the individual treatment plans that will help future generations thrive. The benefits of modern technology towards adolescents suffering from ADHD are plentiful and may one day eliminate the condition. This future is welcomed and one with great promise.
Painting a picture of the future if the problem is NOT solved or handled correctly
All in all, technology is growing at an extraordinarily exponential pace allowing us to be more connected and in tune than ever before. However, while we grow more connected online, we grow more apart in real life which in turn hurts our social skills, disconnects us from each other, degrades our interpersonal skills, makes it easier to commit crimes, and pulls friends and family apart. With almost everything in life there is undoubtedly an equal number of cons.

What Is Septic Tank?
"Septic" or "septic" typically is used to describe the anaerobic bacteria environment that was created in Tank and decomposes to mineralizes domestic wastewater in the tank.
What exactly is septic tank Septic tank? It is a constructed in a scientifically sound underground chamber typically made of rcc, fiberglass, plain concrete, steel, or plastic. the domestic water, wastewater and fecal materials, excretory and toilet products flow into it to treat the primary source of waste material , which decomposes and transform into semi-solid or solid settleable liquid sludge.
In the United States, there are several types of ready-made Septic tanks that are available in the market. They include concrete septic tank plastic septic tank, as well as fibreglass septic tanks. Most well-known and widely used are concrete septic tanks for homes, based on the state and local rules and regulations.
When it comes to "what is a concrete septic tanks?", concrete septic tank is a basic design, water-tight container constructed from RCC or plain concrete typically rectangular or circular in shape and available in one chamber, two chambers, or three chambers that are that are used to treat primary liquid waste.
The typical capacity ranges from 500 to 1250 gallons 500 gallon or 750 gallon tanks are adequate for a two-bedroom home or a 1000 gallon concrete tank is sufficient for a three bedrooms, and a 1250 gallon septic tank is sufficient for a four bedroom house or a family of four.

Presbycusis, also known as age-related hearing loss, is a debilitating disease with a complicated etiology that affects tens of millions of people worldwide and roughly half of those over 65 in the United States (Say et al., 2021). The loss is usually bilateral, causing difficulty hearing high-pitched tones and conversational speech (Meiner & Yeager, 2019). The causes of age-related hearing loss are thought to be genetic and environmental. Men are more affected by this condition than women. This condition's origin is yet unknown.
Some signs and symptoms that could be seen in patients with this condition are not answering when spoken to, talking loudly, paying attention to the speaker's lips, turning up the radio or TV volume, putting one palm over one ear, and tilting the head to one side when someone is speaking (Meiner & Yeager, 2019). The causes of presbycusis are multifaceted. In addition to physiologic and anatomical alterations brought on by aging-related deterioration, genetic factors are among the additional contributing elements (Cheslock & De Jesus, 2022). It is believed that glutamate signaling, glucocorticoids, and sex hormones all contribute to it. Hearing loss occurs more frequently in postmenopausal women who use progestin and a combination of hormone replacement therapy. Presbycusis has also been linked to exposure to loud noises and ototoxic substances such as salicylates, loop diuretics, aminoglycosides, and some chemotherapeutic drugs. Ototoxicity has also been linked to certain occupational and environmental exposures to toxins such as toluene, styrene, lead, carbon monoxide, mercury, and other toxins (Cheslock & De Jesus, 2022). This problem has also been associated to a history of ear infections and the presence of several systemic disorders.
Studies aimed at establishing a clear association for the cause have not been successful. As a result, the diagnosis entails eliminating other potential causes of hearing loss, such as infections, head trauma, metabolic disorders, vascular diseases, and heart disease (Meiner & Yeager, 2019). It is important for nurses when caring for patients with this condition to speak clearly and use a normal tone of voice. Patients and their families need to be instructed on how to use and where to obtain assistive listening devices (Meiner & Yeager, 2019). Nurses must educate patients and family members that when using hearing aids, they need to perform daily listening and battery checks. These devices must be stored in a hearing aid drying container with batteries removed.
Vision is an important sense that is needed to complete ADLs. Age-related changes and macular or.

What We Can Afford” Poem By Shavar X. Seabrooks L.docxDustiBuckner14
“What We Can Afford”
Poem By: Shavar X. Seabrooks
Like the rice fields of Charleston, the wind blows limitlessly.
The slaves give peace to the land that hands they have touch.
In the mist of blood, sweat and tears, still the heartbeat sticks in the sweetgrass of mercy.
Gathered near the Stono River, they earned for freedom press against time which is not a
companion.
Fort Mose just in their reach, still time is not their companion.
Looking back to the Ancient Civilization, were Dark Skin People were King and Queens.
Wear Kenta cloths adorning the skin like silk.
And were the land being harvest for love and not for gain.
The children to grow and not wanting to be enslaved and the lips of the masters impales
the dreams.
Yet, the circle that remains the same, but the horizon is just to come.
The wind shall tell the truth and the African Experiences will be a drum of remembrance.

The first poem is about the murder of Emmett Till. Till’s tragic tale is described in the Eyes on the Prize:
Awakenings and in the study guide. On August 28, 1955, “Emmett Till, a black boy from Chicago visiting
his uncle Moses Wright in Mississippi, is murdered for inappropriately addressing a white woman (page
14).” Even though Till’s murderers eventually confessed to the crime, they were never charged for his
murder (because of the no double jeopardy clause in the fifth amendment of the Constitution). This is
one of many instances of injustice against African Americans in the south during the Civil Rights
Movement. However, even now in the 21st century, African Americans are still facing prejudices and
being killed by cops, the people who are supposed to protect them.
The second poet highlights three big names of the Civil Rights Movement, Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr, and Septima Clark. The Eyes on the Prize videos mention King a lot, because he was quite a
significant man, and The Awakenings and Ready from Within discusses Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks sparked
the Montgomery bus boycott by refusing to give up her seat to a white person. Septima Clark’s impact
on the Civil Rights Movement with her citizenship schools was the main topic of Ready from Within.
Clark played a crucial role in educating many African American.

Data science is a set of fundamental principles that guide the extraction of knowledge from data. Data mining is the extraction of knowledge from data via technologies that incorporate these principles.
Like many enterprises, Digital Diskus has many applications for the various processes that must be executed to run its business, from finance and accounting to sales, marketing, procurement, inventory, supply chain, and so forth. A great deal of data is generated across these systems. But, unfortunately, as a business grows into an enterprise, most of its business systems will be discreet. Getting a holistic view of the health of the business can be stymied by the organic growth of applications and data stores.

Figure 8.2 is a drill down view of the data gathering interactions of the business analytics system within the enterprise architecture. Is the visualization in Figure 8.2 perhaps a bit easier to understand? To reiterate, we are looking at the business analysis and intelligence system, which must touch almost every data gathering and transaction-processing system that exists in the internal network. And, as was noted, business analytics listens to the message bus, which includes messages that are sent from less trusted zones.

Figure 8.3 Business analytics system architecture.
As we move to system specificity, if we have predefined the relevant threats, we can apply the threats’ goals to the system under analysis. This application of goals leads directly on to the “AS” of ATASM: attack surfaces. Understanding your adversaries’ targets and objectives provides insight into possible attack surfaces and perhaps which attack surfaces are most important and should be prioritized.
It’s useful to understand a highly connected system like business analytics in situ, that is, as the system fits into its larger enterprise architectural context. However, we don’t yet have the architecture of the system itself. Figure 8.3 presents the logical components of this business analytics system.
There are five major components of the system:

Study On Traffic Conlict At Unsignalized Intersection In Malaysia IOSR Journals
The research conducted is traffic conflict at unsignalized intersections . The purpose of this research
is to study accident data used as an identification of hazardous location leads to less accurate countermeasures.
It is because accidents are not always reported especially accident involving damage only and this situation can
reduce good comparative analysis. To overcome these lacks of accident data, many ways of employing nonaccident
data have been suggested. One of the ways using non-accident data is traffic conflicts, which is defined
as critical incidents not necessarily involving collisions. The traffic conflict technique was originally set up to
provide more reliable data and information of traffic problems at intersections which actually would replace the
unclear and incomplete recorded data accident. The conflict study was done at the selected unsignalized
intersection where types of traffic conflict can be identified and classified. Various road users involved in the
conflict at the unsignalized intersection were also observed. Then conflicts data captured were analyzed using
the computer program to observe for any conflicts at the intersections. The linear regression graph was used to
show the relationship between conflict and accident data where two different equations were derived from the
graph. This equation may be used to make a prediction for the relationship that might exist between those two
variables at another location.

Abstract
Traffic crash fatalities create primary safety concern beyond the traffic congestion and delay. Therefore, the purpose of this study
is to identify the principal components/factors associated with road traffic crash in the U.S. through retrospective reviewing based
on more than two million records of fatal crashes and 38 years (1975-2012) of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
official’s Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) database. This study portrays an integrated geographic information system
and SAS application in order to find the major factors forcing traffic crashes. The resulting geospatial analysis and principal
components analysis yielded critical significant factors causing fatal traffic crashes. The outcomes of this research could be used
in transportation safety policy making and planning significantly.

In conclusion, social media is not only responsible in many cases for ruining a marriage, sometimes it is responsible for ruining the entire family balance. These social platforms affect the stability of the couple creating a detachment in the everyday life; once the stability is broken and the distance starts to increase, most likely a sense of jealousy will generate and possibly lead to infidelity. It is easy for many users to blame social media for the end of their marriage, and because of this, it is important to use social media for a limited time with non-malicious intentions. The responsible use of the platforms may protect marriages from being permanently damaged and give a couple the possibility to live a much happier life together.

Modern technology continues to prove its merit within the medical field furthering our understanding of ADHD as well as providing invaluable resources available to the public and educational institutions in which to simplify the management of this troublesome condition. It’s used to aid children throughout their academic endeavors, which, will dictate how they enter society and cope with symptoms that will be with them until future technology can find a cure. Data collection will only grow as technology is further implemented in ADHD treatment and is the key to developing the individual treatment plans that will help future generations thrive. The benefits of modern technology towards adolescents suffering from ADHD are plentiful and may one day eliminate the condition. This future is welcomed and one with great promise.

All in all, technology is growing at an extraordinarily exponential pace allowing us to be more connected and in tune than ever before. However, while we grow more connected online, we grow more apart in real life which in turn hurts our social skills, disconnects us from each other, degrades our interpersonal skills, makes it easier to commit crimes, and pulls friends and family apart. With almost everything in life there is undoubtedly an equal number of cons.

Hearing & Eye Age-Related Diseases
Presbycusis, also known as age-related hearing loss, is a debilitating disease with a complicated etiology that affects tens of millions of people worldwide and roughly half of those over 65 in the United States (Say et al., 2021). The loss is usually bilateral, causing difficulty hearing high-pitched tones and conversational speech (Meiner & Yeager, 2019). The causes of age-related hearing loss are thought to be genetic and environmental. Men are more affected by this condition than women. This condition's origin is yet unknown.
Some signs and symptoms that could be seen in patients with this condition are not answering when spoken to, talking loudly, paying attention to the speaker's lips, turning up the radio or TV volume, putting one palm over one ear, and tilting the head to one side when someone is speaking (Meiner & Yeager, 2019). The causes of presbycusis are multifaceted. In addition to physiologic and anatomical alterations brought on by aging-related deterioration, genetic factors are among the additional contributing elements (Cheslock & De Jesus, 2022). It is believed that glutamate signaling, glucocorticoids, and sex hormones all contribute to it. Hearing loss occurs more frequently in postmenopausal women who use progestin and a combination of hormone replacement therapy. Presbycusis has also been linked to exposure to loud noises and ototoxic substances such as salicylates, loop diuretics, aminoglycosides, and some chemotherapeutic drugs. Ototoxicity has also been linked to certain occupational and environmental exposures to toxins such as toluene, styrene, lead, carbon monoxide, mercury, and other toxins (Cheslock & De Jesus, 2022). This problem has also been associated to a history of ear infections and the presence of several systemic disorders.
Studies aimed at establishing a clear association for the cause have not been successful. As a result, the diagnosis entails eliminating other potential causes of hearing loss, such as infections, head trauma, metabolic disorders, vascular diseases, and heart disease (Meiner & Yeager, 2019). It is important for nurses when caring for patients with this condition to speak clearly and use a normal tone of voice. Patients and their families need to be instructed on how to use and where to obtain assistive listening devices (Meiner & Yeager, 2019). Nurses must educate patients and family members that when using hearing aids, they need to perform daily listening and battery checks. These devices must be stored in a hearing aid drying container with batteries removed.

What We Can Afford” Poem By Shavar X. Seabrooks L.docxDustiBuckner14
“What We Can Afford”
Poem By: Shavar X. Seabrooks
Like the rice fields of Charleston, the wind blows limitlessly.
The slaves give peace to the land that hands they have touch.
In the mist of blood, sweat and tears, still the heartbeat sticks in the sweetgrass of mercy.
Gathered near the Stono River, they earned for freedom press against time which is not a
companion.
Fort Mose just in their reach, still time is not their companion.
Looking back to the Ancient Civilization, were Dark Skin People were King and Queens.
Wear Kenta cloths adorning the skin like silk.
And were the land being harvest for love and not for gain.
The children to grow and not wanting to be enslaved and the lips of the masters impales
the dreams.
Yet, the circle that remains the same, but the horizon is just to come.
The wind shall tell the truth and the African Experiences will be a drum of remembrance.

The first poem is about the murder of Emmett Till. Till’s tragic tale is described in the Eyes on the Prize:
Awakenings and in the study guide. On August 28, 1955, “Emmett Till, a black boy from Chicago visiting
his uncle Moses Wright in Mississippi, is murdered for inappropriately addressing a white woman (page
14).” Even though Till’s murderers eventually confessed to the crime, they were never charged for his
murder (because of the no double jeopardy clause in the fifth amendment of the Constitution). This is
one of many instances of injustice against African Americans in the south during the Civil Rights
Movement. However, even now in the 21st century, African Americans are still facing prejudices and
being killed by cops, the people who are supposed to protect them.
The second poet highlights three big names of the Civil Rights Movement, Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr, and Septima Clark. The Eyes on the Prize videos mention King a lot, because he was quite a
significant man, and The Awakenings and Ready from Within discusses Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks sparked
the Montgomery bus boycott by refusing to give up her seat to a white person. Septima Clark’s impact
on the Civil Rights Movement with her citizenship schools was the main topic of Ready from Within.
Clark played a crucial role in educating many African American.

8.1 Architecture
Data science is a set of fundamental principles that guide the extraction of knowledge from data. Data mining is the extraction of knowledge from data via technologies that incorporate these principles.
Like many enterprises, Digital Diskus has many applications for the various processes that must be executed to run its business, from finance and accounting to sales, marketing, procurement, inventory, supply chain, and so forth. A great deal of data is generated across these systems. But, unfortunately, as a business grows into an enterprise, most of its business systems will be discreet. Getting a holistic view of the health of the business can be stymied by the organic growth of applications and data stores.

Figure 8.2 is a drill down view of the data gathering interactions of the business analytics system within the enterprise architecture. Is the visualization in Figure 8.2 perhaps a bit easier to understand? To reiterate, we are looking at the business analysis and intelligence system, which must touch almost every data gathering and transaction-processing system that exists in the internal network. And, as was noted, business analytics listens to the message bus, which includes messages that are sent from less trusted zones.

Figure 8.3 Business analytics system architecture.
As we move to system specificity, if we have predefined the relevant threats, we can apply the threats’ goals to the system under analysis. This application of goals leads directly on to the “AS” of ATASM: attack surfaces. Understanding your adversaries’ targets and objectives provides insight into possible attack surfaces and perhaps which attack surfaces are most important and should be prioritized.
It’s useful to understand a highly connected system like business analytics in situ, that is, as the system fits into its larger enterprise architectural context. However, we don’t yet have the architecture of the system itself. Figure 8.3 presents the logical components of this business analytics system.
There are five major components of the system:
1. Data Analysis processing

Space ... the final frontier. So, as I am sure everyone knows, .docxDustiBuckner14
Space ... the final frontier. So, as I am sure everyone knows, the National Aeronautical Space Administration (NASA) is located right here in H-town. OK, well, technically in Clear Lake. One rarely thinks of space exploration as an extension of government, but remember, one of President John F. Kennedy's challenges promises to the nation was sending an American to the moon.
Well recently, with the call to put an astronaut on Mars by President George W. Bush, and with the founding of SpaceX by Elon Musk, the discussion about space exploration has re-emerged. I would like you to address the following debate. What extent should the government use tax-payer dollars to fund space exploration? Should we leave space travel up to the private sector, or should the government invest more NASA mission. Perhaps there is a healthy balance between the two? What are your thoughts.
Below are some recent (and old) articles about this subject. In addition, I have also linked a report that NASA contributed to about the benefits of space exploration, and a finding by the Congressional Budget Office suggesting how money could be spent elsewhere.
you must reference at least one article correctly in the body of the post (not simply cutting and pasting the URL after your post), respond respectfully to one-classmate, use college level grammar and sentence structure, and be at least 250 words long.

Part 1.
In business, "corporate culture" refers to the rules, customs, and beliefs that all employees follow and are taught (Wheelen, Thomas., & Hunger, J. David, 2014). However, in today's world, the CEO, CFO, and other top executives' actions and attitudes have a direct impact on the company's culture. FedEx has a culture that demonstrates to its employees and customers how much they are valued. FedEx prioritizes service, people, honesty, innovation, responsibility, safety, and loyalty (FedEx, 2019). FedEx understands the importance of a positive work environment and a strong corporate culture in order to achieve operational success and provide excellent customer service. As a result, FedEx has implemented a "People-Service-Profit strategy" (P-S-P) and continues to promote a high-performance culture. (FedEx, 2019). Frederick Smith, the company's current CEO and founder, came up with this idea because he believed that investing in employees would result in better work and, as a result, financial success. This philosophy emphasizes the importance of treating employees with respect and dignity, as well as rewarding team members based on how well they perform their duties.
FedEx believes that its employees are the best way to make big decisions, and it attributes its success to its innovative culture. Because service providers' employees are the ones who directly interact with customers, this philosophy is especially important in the service industry. Training, giving employees power, and providing incentives are all critical in a company whose culture is based on this philosophy (Peoplematters, 2019). FedEx Corporation's plan to make more money, in my opinion, is consistent with its core value of putting people first. People who are enthusiastic about their jobs are always more creative and productive. On the review site Glassdoor, current FedEx employees gave CEO Frederick Smith an 84% approval rating, and 73% said they would recommend working there to a friend (Glassdoor, 2019). FedEx is the company most likely to hire these individuals as a result of this. In addition, some FedEx freight drivers chose not to join a union in 2017, indicating a favorable work environment (Dcvelocity, 2017). FedEx Corporation employs approximately 300,000 people in over 250 countries and territories. As a result, there are numerous programs in place to thank employees for their efforts. This demonstrates how much FedEx cares about and values its employees.
There is a list of awards and recognition programs on the main website, including "The Humanitarian Award," "The Five Star," "Bravo Zulu," and "Purple Promise" (FedEx, 2019). A five-star rating is the highest you can achieve at FedEx. The manager gives the staff theater tickets and quick cash bonuses in the form of Bravo Zulu. Pilots, couriers, customer service representatives, and meteorologists are among those who benefit from the "purple promise.

THE RESEARCH PROPOSAL BUS8100 8
Chapter 2 - Literature Review
The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine whether relationships
exist among job performance, transformational leadership style, and employee turnover intention
in the United States. Interest grew in the past 30 years, combining transformational leadership
and employee turnover intention, based on the assumptions that employees are likely to be
influenced by their leader’s behavior (Gyensare et al., 2016). Gyensare et al. (2016) noted
transformational leadership style was a key variable in lowered employee turnover intention and
enhanced employee well-being. Buil et al. (2019) stated job performance was an organizational
benefit deriving from transformational leadership style.
This literature review was structured to provide key concepts and related factors to the
research variables. In the first section, the researcher defined job performance and measurements
related to this performance. This included the 360-feedback and performance appraisal. The next
section discussed and measured transformational leadership style followed by employee turnover
intention. The fourth section covered contrasting and supporting theories relative to my
theoretical framework. The final section entailed profitability and a discussion of the auto
manufacturing industry.
The existing research in the literature review focused on the relationships between the
variables of employee turnover intention, transformational leadership style, and job performance.
The top journals used include the International Journal of Academic Research in Business and
Social Sciences, International Journal of Productivity and performance management, Journal of
Managerial Psychology, International Journal of Business and Management, Journal of Human

Journal of Applied Biobehavioral Research.
To locate research for this study, EbscoHosts and Education Resources Information

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

1. Ga discussion,
1. The concept in the study is positioning the nation’s largest
auto insurer, State Farm, as the most safety-conscious insurer
by providing funds for communities to further research their
dangerous intersections and initiate improvement based on the
research. The constructs in the study are:
· Granting $20,000 to every city with a dangerous intersection
on the overall list to defray the cost of a comprehensive traffic
engineering study of the intersection.
· Granting $100,000 to each city named to the national top 10
dangerous intersection list to defray some of the cost of making
improvements.
Sabirov states, “… a concept is a complex of views on
something phenomena related to each other and forming an
interconnected system; it is a certain way of understanding,
interpreting any phenomena in some field” (2021, p. 7).
2. A hypothesis that might drive the research of one of the cities
on the top 10 dangerous intersection list is the number of fatal
incidents that have occurred at the intersection. “The
formulation of a hypothesis provides a study with focus. It tells
what specific aspects of a research problem to investigate, what
data to be collected, and what not are to be collected, thereby
providing focus are to be the study. As it provides a focus, the
construction of a hypothesis enhances objectivity in a study”
(Pawar, 2019, p. 3).
3. State Farm’s research uses a multiple-methodology design.
Data is collected from State Farm’s databases and internal
incident reports, and information is gathered from the industry
market share. Čančer explains that a multi-methodology, “…
uses more than one quantitative and/or qualitative method or
methodology in tackling some real-world problem” (2017, p. 3).
4. If I were representing State Farm and was given the task of
reviewing feedback from the transportation engineers, I would
listen to what is being said without any prejudgments. Their
2. concerns would be acknowledged and given a chance to be
considered. “… feedback is defined as “perspectives, feelings,
and opinions individuals have about their experiences with an
organization, product, or service that are used to inform and
improve the practice and decision-making of that organization”
(Nolan, 2019, p. 2). The first concern of the transportation
engineers is the demand for immediate solutions. It would be
addressed by stating that the purpose of this study is to improve
dangerous intersections. It is a process that cannot be rushed,
and an immediate solution would be given when research is
finished. The transportation engineers’ second concern of
accidents with injuries and deaths to be given more attention is
understandable and would be considered for research. “It is the
glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to
search out a matter” (King James Bible, 2017, Proverbs 25:2).
5. Traffic volume counts would be part of the 2003 study. Some
jurisdictions were upset that it wasn’t initially included in the
study. An engineer’s expert opinion is appreciated in this study.
Traffic volume must have a relationship with dangerous
intersections, as well as the accident rate data that was also
requested. It was noted that traffic volume is needed for the
accident rate. After measuring and comparing traffic volume to
accidents at a dangerous intersection, accident rates can be used
as a variable for the accidents that occur at dangerous
intersections.
Other concerns that should be considered in the 2003
study is the weather and the driver’s condition as variables. The
weather may have a random occurrence but is still a factor to
consider as the cause of an accident. The condition of the driver
can also be a valid reason because an intersection could have
been designed properly. The driver could be at fault for
negligence. They could be driving while intoxicated, driving
while holding a cellphone, or driving without prescription
glasses. “While most people are aware that intoxicated driving
means operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or
drugs, distracted driving may be a less familiar term. NHTSA
3. identifies distracted driving as "any non-driving activity a
person engages in while operating a motor vehicle." This
includes the driver physically, visually, or mentally focusing on
something other than driving, as well as factors like fatigue or a
driver's physical and emotional state” (The cars of the future are
headed to your courtroom, 2020, p. 1). NHTSA stands for, The
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
If I were State Farm, it might not make a huge
difference, but I would be concerned about this study being bad
for business. An investment is being made to gain the position
of the most safety-conscious insurer, by lowering accidents at
dangerous intersections. We sell insurance to cover damages
from accidents. It is possible to attract new clients with the
gained reputation. We can also lose existing customers and
potential customers due to lowered accidents.

>Abstract
>The Scenario
State Farm Insurance has a rich history of proactive safety
involvement in auto and
appliance design to reduce injury and property loss. In June
2001, State Farm
Insurance, Inc., released the second report in its Dangerous
Intersection reporting
series. State Farm modeled its program after an initiative by the
Insurance Corporation
of British Columbia, Canada (ICBC), and the American
Automobile Association of
Michigan (AAA) to help position the nation’s largest auto
insurer as the most safety-
conscious insurer. ICBC had patterned its program on an earlier
effort in Victoria,
Australia. AAA, in turn, benchmarked its program on the ICBC
program. AAA
invited State Farm to help fund one of its intersection studies.
State Farm saw this as
an opportunity to expand its effort into a nationwide campaign
in 1999. “The 2001
study is part of a larger effort focused on loss prevention and
improving the safety of
intersections around the U.S.A.,” shared State Farm research
engineer John
Nepomuceno. State Farm has allocated significant resources as
well as funds to the
initiative. Since its inception, every city with an intersection on
the overall list of
dangerous intersections is eligible to apply for a $20,000 grant
to defray the cost of

study, State Farm looked at accidents involving only
intersecting roads. They
excluded any accident that occurred at the intersection of a road
and a highway
access or egress ramp. State Farm also looked only at acci dents
where the State
Farm–insured driver was at fault.
Because of the study’s focus on road safety engineering, the
first study ignored
accident severity and made no attempt to isolate demographic
(age or gender of
driver, driving record, etc.) or geographic (weather conditions,
population of area,
etc.) factors related to the accident. It also looked only at State
Farm’s own internal
incident reports, not at any public records involving traffic
patterns or volume or
police incident reports. Based on industry market share
information, State Farm
was able to estimate the total number of crashes at a given
intersection. “There was
good reason to exclude police reports and traffic counts,”
explained Nepomuceno.
“The reporting threshold for police filing reports on accidents
differs widely from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some will only fill out reports when
personal injury or
criminal behavior is involved. Others will fill them out only
when a vehicle is damaged
7. to the degree that it needs to be towed from the scene. Still
others fill out such
reports on every incident. Traffic volume reports are often
prepared infrequently
and often by independent sources. Not only may the data quality
be questionable,
but the time period in which the data was collected may not
match our 1998 incident
reports in every city involved. Also, when traffic volumes are
factored in, low volume
roads with relatively few crashes are often deprioritized. Now
that we’re through
with the 2001 study, we are asking ourselves if intersectio n
volume should be factored
in, and if so, how it can be included without significantly
increasing our effort in data
processing.”
In the 1998 study, State Farm identified 172 dangerous
intersections. The top
10 most dangerous intersections in the United States were
released publicly
(www.statefarm. com). Public affairs staff for each state could
request that up to 10
intersections be identified for their state. “This was usually
determined by the resources
that our local public affairs staff were willing to put toward the
program,” shared
Nepomuceno. “Each state had to recognize a top 10 national
intersection, but they
could request that no more be released or that up to 10
intersections within their
state be released.” As of August 2001, 97 cities (56.4 percent)
had applied for
State Farm grants.
8. “While some in the media claimed we had ‘hit a home run’ with
the program, we
quickly learned that there was a lot more at stake than we had
anticipated in generating
goodwill with transportation engineers,” indicated Nepomuceno.
“This is, after all, a
traffic safety program and we would not achieve that goal
without having the
cooperation of the traffic and transportation engineering
community. First, while
initially they lauded us for the attention our listing brought to
traffic concerns, we and
they soon discovered that the spotlight generated demand for
immediate solutions,
solutions that they often didn’t have budgets to implement.
Also, from their
perspective, not all accidents are the same; locations with
accidents that result in
injuries and death should be given more attention. Some
jurisdictions were upset
that we didn’t consider intersection volume and we didn’t
include accident rate
data.1 The fact that the State Farm grants were intended to
study the intersection

more completely wasn’t always seen as a solution to their
immediate problems.”
To include accident severity, State Farm needed a measurement
9. system for
classifying accidents. For the 2001 study, which used 1999 and
2000 accident data,
State Farm calculated a median property damage accident
payout (approximately
$1,700). Incidents requiring payout of more than the median
amount were classified
as “high severity”; those requiring less, “low severity.”
Additionally, State Farm chose
to classify each accident using a multipoint scale. Zero was
assigned to “no property
damage, no personal injury” incidents and a higher number was
assigned to “High
property damage, personal injury” incidents, with numbers in
between assigned to
levels of property damage and personal injury (see Exhibit SF
1–1). Accident scores
were summed to create an aggregate danger index for each
intersection. Each
intersection was then weighted by dividing the danger index by
State Farm’s market
share in the area. Of the 224 intersections identified, the top 10
were released to the
national media. Each of those 224 is now eligible for the
$20,000 grant to study the
intersection to identify specific improvements; the top 10 are
also eligible for $100,000
grants for improvements. In this second round, State Farm has
committed $5.48
million to the safety program.
State Farm is making plans to track the success of the
Dangerous Intersection
program. Once cities notify them of the completion of an
intersection’s improvements,
10. State Farm will start tracking accidents for that intersection for
a period of one year.
The first post-improvement evaluation study is expected in
2002. Additionally, State
Farm is taking steps to learn from the characteristics of the
dangerous intersections.
Each grant application for an affected city’s study of a
dangerous intersection must
include:
• Collection and analysis of police report data.
• An engineer’s “geometric review”2of the intersection.
• A capacity profile of the intersection.
• A traffic conflict study.3
• A benefit-cost analysis.
• A schedule of improvements (short-term, intermediate-term,
and long-term).4
State Farm plans to use the new data to identify patterns of
problems. This may
lead to a model of desired intersection traits against which
improvement plans can
be assessed, further increasing the effectiveness of the loss
prevention program and
making life a little easier for the transportation engineers with
whom they must partner
to achieve safety success.

1 Accident rate is calculated by dividing the number of
accidents in a given period by the total
traffic volume over the same period.
2 The intersection geometry or physical layout of the
12. intersection can play an important role
in influencing driver behavior at intersections. For example, a
curve on the approach to an
intersection may impede the sight distance to a traffic signal,
preventing drivers from
stopping in time. Or, a driver approaching two signalized
intersections very closely spaced
may see the traffic signals at both intersections and become
confused about which traffic
signal to obey.
3 A traffic conflict study is an observation study of traffic
conflicts that do not necessarily
end in an accident but have the potential to do so. Recording
and studying observations of
driver behavior is expected to help traffic engineers understand
the same problems that
result in collisions. Some examples of conflicts are the sound of
sharply applied breaks;
sudden, unsignaled lane changes; or drivers hitting their horns.
4 Short-term improvements might include sign changes, changes
in lane markings, or signal-
timing changes. Most short-term improvements can be
implemented in less than two years.
Intermediate-term improvements might involve lane widening,
the addition of turn lanes,
etc., and be accomplished within 2–5 years. Examples of long-
term improvements include
grade separation of the intersecting roads and can take 5–10
years to implement.

State Farm: Dangerous Intersections
Mi discussion
1. Identify the various constructs and concepts involved in the
study.
The various concepts involved in the study include the cause of
the accidents, and also the feedback that is being received from
several reports. State Farm then uses these concepts to
clarify/understand the dangerous intersections. In addi tion, the
concepts in this study included the characteristics of the crashes
that occurred at the intersection as well. Some of the
characteristics that State Farm included were the traffic that
went through the intersection, the severity of the crashes, and
whom the drivers were ensured by.
In this study, State Farm focused only on the driver that they
covered. This was to avoid any claims being filed against them,
and also because they care about the dangerous intersection
accidents that were affecting the safety of their consumers. The
dangerous intersection provided State Farm with a report of the
accidents caused by the intersection, as they made a conscious
14. effort to prevent more crashes through the improvement of the
safer intersections in the United States. In the study, we see that
cities with the highest number of dangerous intersections, also
lead to a higher rate of accidents. Grants worth $100,000 were
given to cities with the most dangerous intersection accidents.
The research focuses on road safety engineering, criminal
behavior, and traffic volume as well. The physical layout of the
road is also very crucial to shaping the driver’s behavior during
the intersections (Schindler, 2022).
2. What hypothesis might drive the research of one of the ci ties
on the top 10 dangerous intersection list?
Hypothesis testing is used to test claims about population
parameters based on sample data (Harrison, 2019). The
hypothesis that might drive the research of one of the city's top
10 dangerous intersections list should be focused on the gross
misconduct of the drivers, and how traffic conflicts due to high
traffic volume led to the dangerous intersection. In addition, the
different hypotheses that we could develop from this research
would be created with the general research topic as well as
expected results. In this situation, the cities of the top ten
dangerous intersection list would need research on how to
reduce the number of crashes in that particular intersection.
Also, the hypothesis in this study will be focused on figuring
out the main causes of the crashes as well. As I focused on this,
I was reminded of Proverbs 19:2 which states “Desire without
knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet
misses his way” (ESV). This relates to hypothesis testing
because researchers need to thoroughly evaluate the issue and
then implement effective measures to address the issue. This
takes time, and no hasty decision equals a successful result in
this scenario.
3. Evaluate the methodology for State Farm’s research.
In evaluating the methodology for State Farm’s research, I see
that the methodology involves a collection of data from police
15. reports, the study of traffic, benefit-cost analysis, and capacity
profile of intersection. In addition, the choice of sampling and
ranking the ten dangerous intersection lists lead to more
effective and realistic findings. According to Crundwell,
Sorting and categorizing the accident rates as well as traffic
volume was beneficial in helping implement both short-term and
long-term improvements.
The methodology for this research was vital in drawing patterns
on issues leading to the intersection characteristics. This led to
the improvement of efficiently handling loss prevention
programs for the road sector. Unfortunately, the danger codes
were narrowed down and focused on property damages/personal
injuries. I believe that if the methodology had included a
regression analysis on the property loss, and loss of lives then it
would have displayed more substantial numbers on how
dangerous the intersection truly was.
4. If you were State Farm, how would you address the concerns
of transportation engineers?
If I was State Farm, I would address the concerns of
transportation engineers by centering my focus on the
implementation of the previous findings that occurred before
the evaluation of the current state of the dangerous intersection.
I also would strongly consider a grant disbursement that will be
focused on the accident rate, including the accidents and traffic
volume as well. Lastly, I believe that the engineers would be in
a great position to reduce the risks where they occurred at high
rates at the intersections.
5. If you were State Farm, would you use traffic volume counts
as part of the 2003 study? What concerns, other than those
expressed by Nepomuceno, do you have?
If I was State Farm, I would include the traffic volume counts
as part of the 2003 study because I believe that It would be
beneficial to the study as well. Cities with a high number of
intersections have more accident rates as well. The other
16. concerns I have would be focused on other means of
transportation as a solution. Therefore, I would also consider
railway transport which would be essential in reducing the
dangerous intersection accidents rates on the road. Railroad
transportation will reduce the traffic volume as well. As I
focused on these concerns, I remembered Philippians 2:3 which
states “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in
humility count others more significant than yourselves” (ESV).
This relates to my stated concerns because, State Farm decided
to put their consumers as significant, and I agree because we are
called to love others like ourselves and count others as more
significant as well.
