HEA 610 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric An effective enrollment plan cannot be successful without considering the product offering, customer success, and financial implications. The product (courses) and customers (students) are what drives an enrollment plan. The courses and programs offered by an institution define what the institution values and how it responds to market demand. In most institutions, the product mix is a factor of the institution’s brand, the economic opportunities, and the forces that influence student enrollment decisions. Nothing is without cost. If a program or major is discontinued, that will affect the faculty and staff associated with that program. If majors are added, then new resources must be committed to support them. In both cases, the product mix requires that the institution can respond to student demand. Keep in mind that sometimes programs are kept, even with small enrollments, in order to ensure a diverse and robust general education offering, or to meet accreditation or other regulatory requirements. None of these decisions should be made lightly and all will require compelling evidence to support them one way or another. For this milestone, you will submit a robust projected outcomes analysis that considers the product mix, customer demands, and financial implications of those decisions. The institution will be committing significant resources to the enrollment plan, so these decisions must be made with the best possible evidence of value and return on investment. The projected outcomes provide the framework by which the institution will measure progress toward achieving its goals. Some elements for the outcomes can include key performance indicators (KPIs) or specific and measurable metrics that indicate achievement of a business goal. You should consider the costs for each step of the recruitment process and weigh them against the potential revenue. Generally speaking, the institution’s revenue goals are maximized with graduates, not student starts. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Recommend programmatic changes in program offerings necessitated by indicators from your enrollment marketplace analysis and your strategic enrollment management plan. Consider the following programmatic issues you could address, in addition to other issues germane to your institution: What program graduates are a current career placement challenge? Which program placements are projected as promising in the near future (based upon feedback and projections from advisory boards, employment agencies, career services, market analysis, etc.)? Given the market and strategic analysis, if it should come to pass, which programs are logical candidates to be discontinued? Which programs that are not currently offered are viable candidates for inclusion or addition? II. Analyze the impact on student achievement. Recommend policies and procedures ...

HEA 610 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric
As you continue your journey to become a higher education administrator, it is important for you to understand the enrollment management process within
higher education, including the techniques to attract, admit, and retain students. Irrespective of the type of institution you work for (private, public, or for-profit),
strategies used to attract and retain students need to align with the institution’s mission and strategic goals. Through completion of the final project strategic
enrollment plan, you will develop the skills necessary to develop the tactics for successful enrollment and continued retention of students, as well as approaches
aimed at improving student achievement and persistence.
By the time you complete your final project, you will have addressed the goals below. Please keep these goals in mind as you work through the course
milestones.
Goal 1: Enhance marketing, recruitment, and early outreach strategies from initial contact through first-day attendance and first-year persistence
Goal 2: Increase the probability of student achievement through the development of early academic and support strategies targeted for the student’s
first-year experience
Goal 3: Enhance academic programs and support systems in order to improve student persistence and student success
In your strategic enrollment plan, you will be covering the multiple enrollment periods relating to an annual planning horizon. You may complete this plan for an
institution of your choice in any sector of education (public, private, or for-profit—as long as the institution is accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S.
Department of Education). Through research and readings, you will gather the needed information to complete your plan. You will examine the tools for effective
admissions marketing, predict admissions yields, and assess how financial aid influences enrollment behavior. You will also analyze the critical stages of the
enrollment process, identify models used to frame retention, differentiate the fiduciary enrollment management responsibilities inherent in all enterprise
positions, and appraise the impacts that student achievement and quality of student life have on student persistence.
For this milestone, submit the prospectus for a comprehensive enrollment management plan for the institution you chose in Module One. Take an in-depth look
at your institution and create a prospectus that provides an overview of your institution and the theories and models that explain its current enrollment
management strategies. Also give an overview of the institution’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats and the internal and external assumptions
that underpin the institution’s enrollment management plan. This section will be a major part of your final project. To develop your prospectus, you will need to
visit the IPEDS Data Center, the institution’s website, and other s ...

MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of an external capital funding proposal.
Most businesses face a landscape of uncertainty and a never-ending stream of risks and opportunities. Managers must continually project the likely financial
impact of decisions, make recommendations, act on those decisions, determine how to pay for them, and evaluate the costs and effectiveness of what has been
done. Many decisions are short-term, routine, and operational. Others are longer-term investment decisions that require substantial new resources, such as
developing new services, expanding into new geographic markets, or undertaking business combinations or spin-offs. Each requires managers to forecast, plan,
and make decisions based on a thorough understanding of both internal and external factors that can affect a company’s financial success.
For the summative assessment in this course, you will bring your finance and economics knowledge to bear by preparing an external capital funding proposal for
a major international investment at a publicly traded corporation. In order to secure the support of potential financial backers, your proposal will need to lay out
what the proposed investment opportunity is, how it fits within the company’s broader mission and goals, its financial impact, and the amount being requested
and why (including alternative funding mechanisms considered). In addition, it will also need to include information on the organization’s context, risk factors,
and microeconomic assumptions that could affect the success of the investment.
Prompt:
Submit a short paper that addresses Section III, Part C; Section V; and Section VI of the final project.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
III. Justification:
C. Financial impact. This section should discuss the project’s most likely financial implications and the consolidated financial projection with and without
the project. Be sure to:
1. Project the incremental, annual, and cumulative cash benefits and outflows associated with the proposed expansion for the next seven to
10 years, using a spreadsheet or other relevant presentation vehicle to support your narrative. Be sure to justify your assumptions and
methodology based on sound microeconomic and financial principles. For example, what assumptions have you made about demand, price,
volume, capital purchase costs, incremental hiring, and so on?
2. Develop a consolidated financial projection of revenue, pretax income, and cash flow for the overall business, over that same number of
years, both with and without the proposed investment. Use a spreadsheet or other relevant presentation vehicle to support your narrative,
being sure to describe any relevant assumptions.
IV. Financing: In this section, compare the proposed loan to alternative financing methods. Specifically:

Cracking The Business Case For Learning Code
Learning is viewed as an expense by many businesses. However, learning can become an easy target for budget cuts unless it is well-aligned with an organisation’s key goals. However, when properly managed, the learning function can become an indispensable strategic partner with a significant impact on the organisation’s goals.
If learning is poorly managed, it will be viewed as a cost with questionable value and little connection to the organisation’s goals or success. So how can leaders assess the importance of learning and development while also considering the return on investment and benefit-cost ratio?
In this deck, you’ll learn;
1. The critical importance of training and development.
2. The significant distinction between ROI and BCR.
3. What is the ROI methodology process made up of.
4. The benefit of ROI for your training program.

Summary of this course
Health care business analyses
Health Care Business Operations and Performance
Introduction
In this module, you will explore the relationship and potential synergy created by consistent vision, mission, goals, and strategic plan. Health care strategy can be formed in one of two ways: it is intended and deliberate, which is created by plans, or it emerges through a pattern of uncoordinated decisions and actions (it just happens). Plans help to create a deliberate strategy. This is a discovery process in which health care organizations define their markets and assess internal operations. Plans move the organization forward toward the realization of a vision. The strategic plan or plan of action is necessary to achieve certain goals and objectives. The plan helps to create alignment and consensus around the organization's intentions. Key managers help to organize efforts and garner momentum for these strategies.
The Strategic Plan
The strategic plan changes or creates additional service lines, clinical procedures, and geographic locations of new clinics, rooms, or other facilities. The plan helps decide where to allocate resources for the high-level initiatives such as new medical technologies. The plan also identifies potential partners for an integrated delivery network or expanded system. When assessing a health care organization, ask what evidence you see of them attempting to work towards a certain vision. What services are they providing? How do they implement the strategy? How are they different from other clinical organizations in the community? How do they remain competitive?
Operations Internal Assessment and Improvement
Introduction
In this module, you will learn to identify methods of assessing and improving the quality of a health care organization. Developing processes is critical in assessing and improving quality since a process is how work gets accomplished. Until processes are fully documented, the interactions and steps cannot be appreciated. The "as-is process" documents what is actually occurring, versus what is supposed to occur. The "to-be process" documents the vision and the proposed process once improvements have been made. By fixing the process, you improve performance. The business process is a set of activities and tasks that are performed in sequence to achieve a specific outcome. The strategy of process improvement increases the throughput (capacity or volume) of a process; eliminates choke points or bottlenecks; and reduces costs, steps, waste, and resources. Look for steps that add value and eliminate those that do not. Reduce the variation in performance over time, remembering that variability causes resource inefficiency.
Analyzing Performance
Methods for analyzing performance include trend analysis and benchmarking. Trend analysis helps health care organizations answer the question, "How are we performing over time?" Benchmarking asks how we compare to our competition. Benchmarking is th ...

Chick-fil-A Training Program Development
Introduction
Chick-fil-A is an organization that continues to grow and expand nationwide and as a result, the organization must develop a training program that can be utilized at every location. As a consultant, one of the first steps to complete when starting a new project is to assemble a SWOT Analysis as well as to prepare a Balanced Scorecard and Casual Chain Score card.
SWOT analysis
To ensure a successful consulting project the consultants must conduct an in depth analysis of the company and where the training program will lead it. The analysis of strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats will provide guidance to develop the program and other tools to evaluate its performance. The consulting project strengths will attract new customers and maintain already existing fans. The consulting project will add to their current position in the industry by focusing on personalized customer service. The second strength is employee involvement. Involvement of all levels will provide higher approval and success percentages. The program will also provide employees a completion timeline, and require them to evaluate the training they received. Evaluation will provide feedback on the training programs pertinence to restaurant operations.
One of Chik-fil-A’s weaknesses is the public relations nightmare which occurred when the CEO, Dan Cathy, admitted to opposing same-sex marriage. As a result the company faced public scorn and a lost profits. Employees and customers alike also took this as acceptance of bigoted behavior towards LGBT employees or customers. The new training program will need to address the side effects of their CEOs comments. The consultant’s must ensure the program addresses a culture of inclusion and acceptance to counteract the CEO’s comments. Failure to do so could exacerbate the public’s view of the company’s attitude towards the communities they serve. The program’s second weakness will be the time required for each employee to complete the training program, learning the new procedures and standards of performance, and then any time spent afterwards providing an evaluation.
The company has various opportunities such as the increase of menu items, expansion and customer service improvement. The consulting project will develop a training program focused on adding to the customer experience. The biggest opportunity offered by the training program is the opportunity to develop a way to evaluate employee’s performance. Finding a way to evaluate performance is essential to evaluating overall productivity (Markham, 2005, p.33).
It will also allow the company to improve on operational processes affecting customer service. Re-enforcing the customer service experience by new training procedures will increase the market share and brand relevanc ...
Balanced Scorecard (part 2) by Shantonu Dasmahapatra
The document discusses how to link a balanced scorecard to business strategy through cause-and-effect relationships, performance drivers, and financial outcomes. It emphasizes translating strategic goals to all levels of the organization through communication, linking individual goals to the scorecard, and aligning rewards. Regular strategic reviews using the scorecard can validate strategies and drive continuous improvement.

HEA 560 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Policies can be developed to provide recommendations for courses of action to be taken, allocate (or re-allocate) resources, develop solutions to counteract or
resolve problems, or grant authority to individuals. Policies can also be created to develop formal collaborations or partnerships between agencies, create new
rules or regulations, or guide strategic efforts in new directions. Whatever the purpose, the intended outcomes of policies are often to remediate a problem or
take advantage of a new opportunity through a course of action. In the context of higher education, high-level critical issues associated with students’
preparation for college-level academics, access to educational institutions, and success in terms of retention and degree completion need to be considered in
policy development.
As you draft your proposed admission policy, it is important to consider the intended and unintended outcomes of the admission policy. It may be useful to
research how other admission policies have been enacted at other institutions to gauge the potential outcomes that may occur at your institution as well. While
it may appear as though administrations at institutions would be excited to see dramatic increases in enrollment figures, consider the short-term and long-term
effects of increased headcounts, including impacts on class sizes, the availability of courses for students, whether students have the ability to enter into the
academic majors of their choice, and whether there is sufficient capacity in residential housing for students.
Additionally, consider the constellation of services traditional institutions offer to their students—dining services, counseling and academic advising, medical
care, and so on. How will those types of services and facilities be impacted by increases in enrollments? Alterations to admission requirements may lower
institutional selectivity and prestige, lower student satisfaction (especially if they cannot register for required courses because the courses are at capacity), or
lead to decreases in retention and graduation rates. All of these factors need to be considered by higher education administrators when developing policies
associated with students’ enrollment. At this stage, begin brainstorming some of the unintended consequences of your admission policy for the institution.
In Module Four, you will research admission policies, and select and develop an admission policy. As you do so, consider the intended outcomes of the policy and
whether the policy impacts the mission and vision of the institution.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Proposed Policy
a. Describe the proposed policy on student attainment, retention, and completion. How does the policy articulate the intent that admissions
become less selective in order to increase student enrollment, while maintaining compliance with higher edu ...
Steps to Healthcare Strategic Planning By Dr.Mahboob Khan Phd
Strategic planning provides a roadmap for where a healthcare organization is going and how to get there. It guides decisions on capital, technology, staff and other resources. The strategic planning process involves 7 steps: 1) reviewing the vision and mission, 2) analyzing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, 3) developing strategic options, 4) establishing objectives, 5) creating an execution plan, 6) allocating budgets and resources, and 7) ongoing review. When done correctly, strategic planning creates a culture of innovation, improves decision-making and resource allocation, and helps organizations deliver high-quality care by shaping their future.
Determining impact and return of csi updated (2)
The document discusses measuring the impact and return on investment of corporate social investment programs. It explains that there is increasing pressure from foundations, non-profits, and international development organizations to demonstrate impact and return on investment. Various frameworks and models are presented for assessing impact at the community, organizational, employee, and business levels to determine if programs yield a favorable investment. Key considerations in impact measurement like ensuring strategic alignment and avoiding oversimplification are also covered.
The Age of Alignment Part II: Getting Strategy-Driven Performance Measurement...
Our December webinar explored a fundamental question that was raised by the NACD Blue Ribbon Commission on Strategy Development: “Does your company’s incentive structure reinforce or unintentionally undermine its chosen strategy?”
During that webinar, I talked with my colleague on the Blue Ribbon Commission, Pearl Meyer and Partners’ Steve Van Putten, along with Michael Ng who is with us again today. We discussed the alignment of business strategy and compensation, the role of the Board, the hallmarks of a properly aligned program and examples of various approaches to design, monitoring and revision.
Today, we will build on that topic and take an in-depth look at how Boards can implement the right performance measures to ensure a compensation program that will be an effective tool for driving corporate strategy. With Pearl Meyer and Partners’ Managing Director Matt Turner taking the lead, we will look at measurement selection and mix, and practical concerns for measurement, goal setting and the on-going administration and governance of a winning program.

Assessment 1 ContextHealth Care Economics: An Industry Overview
Providers and consumers of health care services have experienced significant changes following the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Affordable Care Act). New terminology, concepts, methods of valuation, reimbursement, and decisions accompanied this landmark legislative change. Health care leaders are responsible for maintaining the financial viability of their organizations, aligning with both the organizational mission statement and directional strategy, and allocating finite resources. This task has become increasingly complex due in part to changes associated with the Affordable Care Act.
Conditions of participation in state- and federally-funded health care programs have generated new requirements, and some represent major challenges with respect to implementation and compliance. An example of this can be seen with the electronic medical records initiative, which has been an ongoing challenge. Leaders must grapple with questions such as:
· What is the actual cost to the organization?
· Are there funding shortfalls for full implementation?
· Are there unexpected additional costs that result from existing software incompatibilities?
· Are there additional security measures to ensure HIPAA compliance, such as staff training?
· What about patient satisfaction scores and how these can affect reimbursement?
The role of the health care executive in exercising sound economic decision making has become increasingly challenging, especially when one considers the potential adverse financial and operational consequences, or civil and criminal penalties, that can result from oversights or errors. Health care executives serve in a fiduciary role within their organizations and communities. To this end, it is helpful for leaders to understand applicable laws that drive economic decision making and its accepted tools from authoritative sources, industry standards, and risk management.
The Provider Organization
How have recent changes in health care affected your current or future desired role within the industry? Do you recognize new concepts and terminology emerging with our changing health care system? To illustrate this point, consider your familiarity with the following economic concepts and their associated implications for providers: accountable care organizations, Readmissions Reduction Program, HCAHPS scores, HAC Reduction Program, never events, value based purchasing, open payments public data, cost shifting, risk sharing, and medical capital equipment (lease versus purchase). These are just a few examples of facets that involve financial, and thus economic, decision making.
It is important to maintain the environmental, larger perspective and to understand what resources are available from the government for economic problem solving and decision making. It is also important to maintain "bifocal vision" as ...

The document discusses the balanced scorecard framework as a strategic management tool. It describes the balanced scorecard as considering both financial and non-financial performance indicators across four perspectives: financial, customer, internal business processes, and learning and growth. These four perspectives are causally linked, with learning and growth leading to better internal processes, higher customer value, and improved financial performance. The balanced scorecard helps organizations translate their vision into action, communicate objectives and measures, align strategic initiatives, and provide feedback to evaluate strategy. It is presented as an important tool for strategic management that can help organizations achieve long-term goals and develop competitive advantages.
CHAPTER 4.pptx
Financial planning involves forecasting possible future states, evaluating their effects, and analyzing options and strategies for management. It uses historical financial data to develop assumptions about external factors like the economy and industry trends, and internal factors like sales, expenses, assets and liabilities. Goals and strategies are set, forecasts are made using models, and sensitivity analysis is performed to modify assumptions and achieve desired results. The outcome is pro forma financial statements that determine the company's projected financial position.

MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of an external capital funding proposal.
Most businesses face a landscape of uncertainty and a never-ending stream of risks and opportunities. Managers must continually project the likely financial
impact of decisions, make recommendations, act on those decisions, determine how to pay for them, and evaluate the costs and effectiveness of what has been
done. Many decisions are short-term, routine, and operational. Others are longer-term investment decisions that require substantial new resources, such as
developing new services, expanding into new geographic markets, or undertaking business combinations or spin-offs. Each requires managers to forecast, plan,
and make decisions based on a thorough understanding of both internal and external factors that can affect a company’s financial success.
For the summative assessment in this course, you will bring your finance and economics knowledge to bear by preparing an external capital funding proposal for
a major international investment at a publicly traded corporation. In order to secure the support of potential financial backers, your proposal will need to lay out
what the proposed investment opportunity is, how it fits within the company’s broader mission and goals, its financial impact, and the amount being requested
and why (including alternative funding mechanisms considered). In addition, it will also need to include information on the organization’s context, risk factors,
and microeconomic assumptions that could affect the success of the investment.
Prompt: Submit a paper that addresses critical element IV, Risks, of the final project. Discuss any risks that might affect the success of the project and how you
have planned for those contingencies.
Note: The risks (and opportunities) you identify should demonstrate your understanding of the company you selected, the industry, the investment project you
are proposing, and your project’s country and timing. Your estimates of financial impacts will be only preliminary; you will most likely revise them in your final
submission at the end of Module Nine.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Section IV Risks:
1. Internal. What are the company’s most significant internal risks and opportunities related to the project? How might they affect your financial estimates
and how will you address them? Support your response with specific examples.
2. External. How will you address significant qualitative risks outside the company that might affect project success? Give specific examples. For example,
how might culture or politics in the target country affect the proposed investment’s financial success? Natural disasters? How have you planned for
these risks?
3. Microeconomic. Assess the microeconomic factors that might affect decisions about the proposed investment. ...
Cracking The Business Case For Learning Code
Learning is viewed as an expense by many businesses. However, learning can become an easy target for budget cuts unless it is well-aligned with an organisation’s key goals. However, when properly managed, the learning function can become an indispensable strategic partner with a significant impact on the organisation’s goals.
If learning is poorly managed, it will be viewed as a cost with questionable value and little connection to the organisation’s goals or success. So how can leaders assess the importance of learning and development while also considering the return on investment and benefit-cost ratio?
In this deck, you’ll learn;
1. The critical importance of training and development.
2. The significant distinction between ROI and BCR.
3. What is the ROI methodology process made up of.
4. The benefit of ROI for your training program.

Health care business analyses
Health Care Business Operations and Performance
Introduction
In this module, you will explore the relationship and potential synergy created by consistent vision, mission, goals, and strategic plan. Health care strategy can be formed in one of two ways: it is intended and deliberate, which is created by plans, or it emerges through a pattern of uncoordinated decisions and actions (it just happens). Plans help to create a deliberate strategy. This is a discovery process in which health care organizations define their markets and assess internal operations. Plans move the organization forward toward the realization of a vision. The strategic plan or plan of action is necessary to achieve certain goals and objectives. The plan helps to create alignment and consensus around the organization's intentions. Key managers help to organize efforts and garner momentum for these strategies.
The Strategic Plan
The strategic plan changes or creates additional service lines, clinical procedures, and geographic locations of new clinics, rooms, or other facilities. The plan helps decide where to allocate resources for the high-level initiatives such as new medical technologies. The plan also identifies potential partners for an integrated delivery network or expanded system. When assessing a health care organization, ask what evidence you see of them attempting to work towards a certain vision. What services are they providing? How do they implement the strategy? How are they different from other clinical organizations in the community? How do they remain competitive?
Operations Internal Assessment and Improvement
Introduction
In this module, you will learn to identify methods of assessing and improving the quality of a health care organization. Developing processes is critical in assessing and improving quality since a process is how work gets accomplished. Until processes are fully documented, the interactions and steps cannot be appreciated. The "as-is process" documents what is actually occurring, versus what is supposed to occur. The "to-be process" documents the vision and the proposed process once improvements have been made. By fixing the process, you improve performance. The business process is a set of activities and tasks that are performed in sequence to achieve a specific outcome. The strategy of process improvement increases the throughput (capacity or volume) of a process; eliminates choke points or bottlenecks; and reduces costs, steps, waste, and resources. Look for steps that add value and eliminate those that do not. Reduce the variation in performance over time, remembering that variability causes resource inefficiency.
Analyzing Performance
Methods for analyzing performance include trend analysis and benchmarking. Trend analysis helps health care organizations answer the question, "How are we performing over time?" Benchmarking asks how we compare to our competition. Benchmarking is th ...

Chick-fil-A Training Program Development
Introduction
Chick-fil-A is an organization that continues to grow and expand nationwide and as a result, the organization must develop a training program that can be utilized at every location. As a consultant, one of the first steps to complete when starting a new project is to assemble a SWOT Analysis as well as to prepare a Balanced Scorecard and Casual Chain Score card.
SWOT analysis
To ensure a successful consulting project the consultants must conduct an in depth analysis of the company and where the training program will lead it. The analysis of strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats will provide guidance to develop the program and other tools to evaluate its performance. The consulting project strengths will attract new customers and maintain already existing fans. The consulting project will add to their current position in the industry by focusing on personalized customer service. The second strength is employee involvement. Involvement of all levels will provide higher approval and success percentages. The program will also provide employees a completion timeline, and require them to evaluate the training they received. Evaluation will provide feedback on the training programs pertinence to restaurant operations.
One of Chik-fil-A’s weaknesses is the public relations nightmare which occurred when the CEO, Dan Cathy, admitted to opposing same-sex marriage. As a result the company faced public scorn and a lost profits. Employees and customers alike also took this as acceptance of bigoted behavior towards LGBT employees or customers. The new training program will need to address the side effects of their CEOs comments. The consultant’s must ensure the program addresses a culture of inclusion and acceptance to counteract the CEO’s comments. Failure to do so could exacerbate the public’s view of the company’s attitude towards the communities they serve. The program’s second weakness will be the time required for each employee to complete the training program, learning the new procedures and standards of performance, and then any time spent afterwards providing an evaluation.
The company has various opportunities such as the increase of menu items, expansion and customer service improvement. The consulting project will develop a training program focused on adding to the customer experience. The biggest opportunity offered by the training program is the opportunity to develop a way to evaluate employee’s performance. Finding a way to evaluate performance is essential to evaluating overall productivity (Markham, 2005, p.33).
It will also allow the company to improve on operational processes affecting customer service. Re-enforcing the customer service experience by new training procedures will increase the market share and brand relevanc ...

HEA 560 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Policies can be developed to provide recommendations for courses of action to be taken, allocate (or re-allocate) resources, develop solutions to counteract or
resolve problems, or grant authority to individuals. Policies can also be created to develop formal collaborations or partnerships between agencies, create new
rules or regulations, or guide strategic efforts in new directions. Whatever the purpose, the intended outcomes of policies are often to remediate a problem or
take advantage of a new opportunity through a course of action. In the context of higher education, high-level critical issues associated with students’
preparation for college-level academics, access to educational institutions, and success in terms of retention and degree completion need to be considered in
policy development.
As you draft your proposed admission policy, it is important to consider the intended and unintended outcomes of the admission policy. It may be useful to
research how other admission policies have been enacted at other institutions to gauge the potential outcomes that may occur at your institution as well. While
it may appear as though administrations at institutions would be excited to see dramatic increases in enrollment figures, consider the short-term and long-term
effects of increased headcounts, including impacts on class sizes, the availability of courses for students, whether students have the ability to enter into the
academic majors of their choice, and whether there is sufficient capacity in residential housing for students.
Additionally, consider the constellation of services traditional institutions offer to their students—dining services, counseling and academic advising, medical
care, and so on. How will those types of services and facilities be impacted by increases in enrollments? Alterations to admission requirements may lower
institutional selectivity and prestige, lower student satisfaction (especially if they cannot register for required courses because the courses are at capacity), or
lead to decreases in retention and graduation rates. All of these factors need to be considered by higher education administrators when developing policies
associated with students’ enrollment. At this stage, begin brainstorming some of the unintended consequences of your admission policy for the institution.
In Module Four, you will research admission policies, and select and develop an admission policy. As you do so, consider the intended outcomes of the policy and
whether the policy impacts the mission and vision of the institution.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Proposed Policy

Strategic planning provides a roadmap for where a healthcare organization is going and how to get there. It guides decisions on capital, technology, staff and other resources. The strategic planning process involves 7 steps: 1) reviewing the vision and mission, 2) analyzing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, 3) developing strategic options, 4) establishing objectives, 5) creating an execution plan, 6) allocating budgets and resources, and 7) ongoing review. When done correctly, strategic planning creates a culture of innovation, improves decision-making and resource allocation, and helps organizations deliver high-quality care by shaping their future.
Determining impact and return of csi updated (2)
The document discusses measuring the impact and return on investment of corporate social investment programs. It explains that there is increasing pressure from foundations, non-profits, and international development organizations to demonstrate impact and return on investment. Various frameworks and models are presented for assessing impact at the community, organizational, employee, and business levels to determine if programs yield a favorable investment. Key considerations in impact measurement like ensuring strategic alignment and avoiding oversimplification are also covered.
The Age of Alignment Part II: Getting Strategy-Driven Performance Measurement...
Our December webinar explored a fundamental question that was raised by the NACD Blue Ribbon Commission on Strategy Development: “Does your company’s incentive structure reinforce or unintentionally undermine its chosen strategy?”
During that webinar, I talked with my colleague on the Blue Ribbon Commission, Pearl Meyer and Partners’ Steve Van Putten, along with Michael Ng who is with us again today. We discussed the alignment of business strategy and compensation, the role of the Board, the hallmarks of a properly aligned program and examples of various approaches to design, monitoring and revision.
Today, we will build on that topic and take an in-depth look at how Boards can implement the right performance measures to ensure a compensation program that will be an effective tool for driving corporate strategy. With Pearl Meyer and Partners’ Managing Director Matt Turner taking the lead, we will look at measurement selection and mix, and practical concerns for measurement, goal setting and the on-going administration and governance of a winning program.

Assessment 1 ContextHealth Care Economics: An Industry Overview
Providers and consumers of health care services have experienced significant changes following the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Affordable Care Act). New terminology, concepts, methods of valuation, reimbursement, and decisions accompanied this landmark legislative change. Health care leaders are responsible for maintaining the financial viability of their organizations, aligning with both the organizational mission statement and directional strategy, and allocating finite resources. This task has become increasingly complex due in part to changes associated with the Affordable Care Act.
Conditions of participation in state- and federally-funded health care programs have generated new requirements, and some represent major challenges with respect to implementation and compliance. An example of this can be seen with the electronic medical records initiative, which has been an ongoing challenge. Leaders must grapple with questions such as:
· What is the actual cost to the organization?
· Are there funding shortfalls for full implementation?
· Are there unexpected additional costs that result from existing software incompatibilities?
· Are there additional security measures to ensure HIPAA compliance, such as staff training?
· What about patient satisfaction scores and how these can affect reimbursement?
The role of the health care executive in exercising sound economic decision making has become increasingly challenging, especially when one considers the potential adverse financial and operational consequences, or civil and criminal penalties, that can result from oversights or errors. Health care executives serve in a fiduciary role within their organizations and communities. To this end, it is helpful for leaders to understand applicable laws that drive economic decision making and its accepted tools from authoritative sources, industry standards, and risk management.
The Provider Organization
How have recent changes in health care affected your current or future desired role within the industry? Do you recognize new concepts and terminology emerging with our changing health care system? To illustrate this point, consider your familiarity with the following economic concepts and their associated implications for providers: accountable care organizations, Readmissions Reduction Program, HCAHPS scores, HAC Reduction Program, never events, value based purchasing, open payments public data, cost shifting, risk sharing, and medical capital equipment (lease versus purchase). These are just a few examples of facets that involve financial, and thus economic, decision making.
It is important to maintain the environmental, larger perspective and to understand what resources are available from the government for economic problem solving and decision making. It is also important to maintain "bifocal vision" as ...

Situational Analysis
Overview: For Final Project Milestone One, you analyzed Bellevue Hospital, and in your Module Four Worksheet, you practiced completing a very basic SWOT
analysis. Now, for this second milestone, due in Module Five, you will conduct a full situational analysis to identify the internal and external market factors that
impact the Bellevue Hospital, propose a service to market for the organization, and generate a marketing goal for this proposed service.
Prompt: First, review the text readings and course resources you have so far studied. In addition, review your Final Project Milestone One and Module Four
Worksheet submissions and instructor feedback to those submissions. The SWOT analysis you completed in the Module Four Worksheet is one method by which
to conduct a situational analysis. Use this process to assist you as you complete the situational analysis in this milestone. Also refer back to the Bellevue:
Community Health Needs Assessment to inform your analysis.
Next, in 2 to 3 pages, conduct a situational analysis that analyzes the internal and external market factors that impact Bellevue Hospital. In addition, propose a
service to market for the organization and develop marketing goals for this proposed service. The paper should explain how the proposed marketing goals align
with the mission, vision, and strategic goals of the organization. Keep in mind that your marketing goals should follow the SMART goal framework (specific,
measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely).
The following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Situational Analysis: In this section of the marketing plan, you will be conducting a needs analysis to identify and propose a service for the organization.
A. Analyze the internal and external market factors impacting the healthcare organization.
B. Propose a service to market for this organization. Include an explanation as to whether it is addressing an opportunity or weakness from the
market factor analysis.
C. Develop a marketing goal for the proposed service, applying the SMART goal framework.
D. Justify the alignment of the marketing goal to the mission, vision, and strategic goals of the organization.
E. Analyze the competition for the proposed service.
F. Evaluate how the current marketing strategies used by the organization adhere to industry ethical criteria.
Refer to your completed Final Project Milestone One and Module Four Worksheet, as well as to the text readings and other course resources to support your

Key tasks in strategic planning are forming a vision/mission, setting objectives, crafting strategies, implementing strategies, and evaluating performance.
D:\My Documents\7 Knowledge\Bsc\8680786 Scorecard Ppt
The document discusses the balanced scorecard framework as a strategic management tool. It describes the balanced scorecard as considering both financial and non-financial performance indicators across four perspectives: financial, customer, internal business processes, and learning and growth. These four perspectives are causally linked, with learning and growth leading to better internal processes, higher customer value, and improved financial performance. The balanced scorecard helps organizations translate their vision into action, communicate objectives and measures, align strategic initiatives, and provide feedback to evaluate strategy. It is presented as an important tool for strategic management that can help organizations achieve long-term goals and develop competitive advantages.
CHAPTER 4.pptx
Financial planning involves forecasting possible future states, evaluating their effects, and analyzing options and strategies for management. It uses historical financial data to develop assumptions about external factors like the economy and industry trends, and internal factors like sales, expenses, assets and liabilities. Goals and strategies are set, forecasts are made using models, and sensitivity analysis is performed to modify assumptions and achieve desired results. The outcome is pro forma financial statements that determine the company's projected financial position.

The 30 June 2019 local elections in Albania took place in a context of deep political polarization and crisis. The main opposition parties boycotted the elections and called on voters to abstain. As a result, many mayoral races were uncontested. The elections suffered from a lack of trust in the impartiality of the election administration due to its unbalanced composition. While voting and counting were carried out efficiently on election day, the broader process failed to provide voters with a genuine choice between political alternatives. The elections did not resolve the underlying political disputes and the country remained in a state of political uncertainty.

Changes in survey mode for conducting panel surveys may contribute significantly to
survey error. This article explores the causes and consequences of such changes in
survey mode. The authors describe how and why the choice of survey mode often
causes changes to be made to the wording of questions, as well as the reasons that
identically worded questions often produce different answers when administered
through different modes. The authors provide evidence that answers may change as a
result of different visual layouts for otherwise identical questions and suggest ways
to keep measurement the same despite changes in survey mode.
Keywords: survey mode; questionnaire; panel survey; measurement; survey error
Most panel studies require measurement of the same variables at different
times. Often, participants are asked questions, several days, weeks, months,
or years apart to measure change in some characteristics of interest to the
investigation. These characteristics might include political attitudes, satis-
faction with a health care provider, frequency of a behavior, ownership of
financial resources, or level of educational attainment. Whatever the charac-
teristic of interest, it is important that the question used to ascertain it perform
the same across multiple data collections.
In addition, declining survey response rates, particularly for telephone
surveys, have encouraged researchers to use multiple modes of data collec-
tion during the administration of a single cross-sectional survey. Encouraged
by the availability of more survey modes than in the past and evidence that a
change in modes produces higher response rates (Dillman 2002), surveyors

Fake news: Personal responsibility must trump intellectual laziness
By Matt Chan January 4, 2017
Where do you get your news? That question has become incredibly important given the results of our Presidential Election. How many times have you heard, “I read a news story on Facebook and …” The problem: Facebook is not a news service; it’s a “social media” site whose purpose is to connect like-minded friends and family, to provide you with social connections, and online entertainment.
For Asian Americans social media provides an important and useful way of connecting socially and in some cases politically, but there is a downside. The downside is how social media actually works. These sites employ elaborate algorithms to track and analyze your posts, likes, and dislikes to provide you with a custom experience unique to you. The truth is you are being marketed to, not informed. What looks like news, is not really news, it’s personal validation. All in an attempt to keep you on the site longer, to click a few more things, to make you feel good about what you’re reading. It makes it seem like most people agree with you because you’re only fed information and stories that validate your worldview.
On the other hand, real news is hard work. Its fact-based information presented by people who have checked, researched, and documented what they are presenting as the truth. Real news can be verified.
“Fake News” is, well, fake, often times entirely made-up or containing a hint of truth. Social media was largely responsible for pushing “fake news” stories that were entirely made up to drive clicks on websites. These clicks in turn generated money for the people promoting the stories. The more outrageous the story, the more clicks, the more revenue. When you factor in the algorithms that feed you what you like, you can clearly see the more “fake news” you consume on social media, the more is pushed your way. There’s an abundance of pseudo news sites that merely re-post and curate existing stories, adding their bias to validate their audience’s beliefs, no matter how crazy or mainstream. It is curated solely for you. Now factor in that nearly 44% of Americans obtain some or most of their news from social media and you have a very toxic mix.
The mainstream news media has also fallen into this validation trap. You have one news network that solely reflects the right wing, others that take the view of the left-center leaning, and what is lost are the facts and context, the balance we need to evaluate, learn, and understand the world. People seeking fact-based journalism lose, because the more extreme the media becomes to entice consumers with provocative headlines and click-bait to earn more money, the less their news is fact-based and becomes more opinion driven.
There was a time when fact-based reporting was required of broadcast news. It was called “The Fairness Doctrin ...

Influence of new molecular prognostic markers in patients with karyotypically normal acute myeloid leukemia: recent advances
Mrózek, Krzysztofa; Döhner, Hartmutb; Bloomfield, Clara Da

doi: 10.1097/MOH.0b013e32801684c7
Myeloid disease
Purpose of review Molecular study of cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia is among the most active areas of leukemia research. Despite having the same normal karyotype, adults with de-novo cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia who constitute the largest cytogenetic group of acute myeloid leukemia, are very diverse with respect to acquired gene mutations and gene expression changes. These genetic alterations affect clinical outcome and may assist in selection of proper treatment. Herein we critically summarize recent clinically relevant molecular genetic studies of cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia.
Recent findings NPM1 gene mutations causing aberrant cytoplasmic localization of nucleophosmin have been demonstrated to be the most frequent submicroscopic alterations in cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia and to confer improved prognosis, especially in patients without a concomitant FLT3 gene internal tandem duplication. Overexpressed BAALC, ERG and MN1 genes and expression of breast cancer resistance protein have been shown to confer poor prognosis. A gene-expression signature previously suggested to separate cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia patients into prognostic subgroups has been validated on a different microarray platform, although gene-expression signature-based classifiers predicting outcome for individual patients with greater accuracy are still needed.
Summary The discovery of new prognostic markers has increased our understanding of leukemogenesis and may lead to improved prognostication and generation of novel risk-adapted therapies.

Recent advances in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) biology and its genetic landscape should ultimately lead to more subset-specific AML therapies, ideally tailored to each patient's disease. Although a growing number of distinct AML subsets have been increasingly characterized, patient management has remained disappointingly uniform. If one excludes acute promyelocytic leukemia, current AML management still relies largely on intensive chemotherapy and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), at least in younger patients who can tolerate such intensive treatments. Nevertheless, progress has been made, notably in terms of standard drug dose in ...

THEATER: WILSON'S 'MA RAINEY'S' OPENS
By FRANK RICH
Published: October 12, 1984, Friday
LATE in Act I of ''Ma Rainey's Black Bottom,'' a somber, aging band trombonist (Joe Seneca) tilts his head heavenward to sing the blues. The setting is a dilapidated Chicago recording studio of 1927, and the song sounds as old as time. ''If I had my way,'' goes the lyric, ''I would tear this old building down.''
Once the play has ended, that lyric has almost become a prophecy. In ''Ma Rainey's Black Bottom,'' the writer August Wilson sends the entire history of black America crashing down upon our heads. This play is a searing inside account of what white racism does to its victims - and it floats on the same authentic artistry as the blues music it celebrates. Harrowing as ''Ma Rainey's'' can be, it is also funny, salty, carnal and lyrical. Like his real-life heroine, the legendary singer Gertrude (Ma) Rainey, Mr. Wilson articulates a legacy of unspeakable agony and rage in a spellbinding voice.
The play is Mr. Wilson's first to arrive in New York, and it reached here, via the Yale Repertory Theater, under the sensitive hand of the man who was born to direct it, Lloyd Richards. On Broadway, Mr. Richards has honed ''Ma Rainey's'' to its finest form. What's more, the director brings us an exciting young actor - Charles S. Dutton - along with his extraordinary dramatist. One wonders if the electricity at the Cort is the same that audiences felt when Mr. Richards, Lorraine Hansberry and Sidney Poitier stormed into Broadway with ''A Raisin in the Sun'' a quarter-century ago.
As ''Ma Rainey's'' shares its director and Chicago setting with ''Raisin,'' so it builds on Hansberry's themes: Mr. Wilson's characters want to make it in white America. And, to a degree, they have. Ma Rainey (1886-1939) was among the first black singers to get a recording contract - albeit with a white company's ''race'' division. Mr. Wilson gives us Ma (Theresa Merritt) at the height of her fame. A mountain of glitter and feathers, she has become a despotic, temperamental star, complete with a retinue of flunkies, a fancy car and a kept young lesbian lover.
The evening's framework is a Paramount-label recording session that actually happened, but whose details and supporting players have been invented by the author. As the action swings between the studio and the band's warm-up room - designed by Charles Henry McClennahan as if they might be the festering last- chance saloon of ''The Iceman Cometh'' - Ma and her four accompanying musicians overcome various mishaps to record ''Ma Rainey's Black Bottom'' and other songs. During the delays, the band members smoke reefers, joke around and reminisce about past gigs on a well-traveled road stretching through whorehouses and church socials from New Orleans to Fat Back, Ark.
The musicians' speeches are like improvised band solos - variously fiz ...

White Supremacy, Patriarchy,
and Global Capitalism in
Migration Studies
Tanya Golash-Boza1, Maria D. Duenas1,
and Chia Xiong1
Abstract
Ten years after sociologist Mary Romero lamented the “ideological and theoretical
gulf between immigration research and the sociology of race,” researchers have
begun to bridge this theoretical gulf by centering critical race theory in studies of
migration. Building on these analyses, this article argues that migration flows and
immigrant incorporation are shaped not only by White supremacy but also by
patriarchy and global capitalism. Insofar as migrants, predominantly from the Global
South, are usually racialized as non-White, and come to work in a labor market
shaped by exploitation, oppression, and patriarchy, it is critical to think of migrant
flows and settlement within the context of what bell hooks describes as a White
supremacist capitalist patriarchy. We draw from examples from our research with a
broad spectrum of migrants and their children to elucidate how these three systems
of oppression shape the experiences of migrants.
Keywords
White supremacy, intersectionality, immigration
Introduction
In her 2008 article in Contemporary Justice Review, Mary Romero wrote, “There is an
enormous ideological and theoretical gulf between immigration research and the soci-
ology of race” (p. 26). Ten years later, several publications have bridged this gulf,
incorporating a race analysis and moving away from assimilationist frameworks.
Sanchez and Romero (2010), for example, center race to illuminate illegality and
racialized citizenship. Sáenz and Douglas (2015) show the influence of racial hostility

how assimilationist perspectives support White supremacy by placing the onus of
incorporation on racialized immigrants and ignoring racial barriers.
Building on recent scholarship’s use of a critical race framework to study immi-

global capitalism in addition to White supremacy in migration studies. We explore

Neoliberal Education Reform and
the Perpetuation of Inequality
Jessica Brathwaite
Temple University, USA
Abstract
New York has some of the most segregated high schools in the country, and schools serving
low-income and minority students have the lowest graduation rates. This paper discusses
changes in inequality between New York City high schools during a period of neoliberal
education reform. Neoliberal education reforms are intended to improve schooling through
choice and accountability policies. I find that segregation has increased in the best performing
schools during this era of reform, and that race and class maintain a negative impact on
graduation rates despite the implementation of neoliberal policies. I argue that these policies
not only fail to reduce inequality, but exacerbate and reproduce existing class and race
inequalities in schooling.
Keywords
neoliberalism, education policy, New York City, high schools, inequality, high school graduation,
segregation, school choice, accountability, dissimilarity index, growth curve model
Introduction
Education has the potential to elevate the life chances and opportunities of those born into poverty
and disadvantage. Horace Mann created the first public education system on this principal, in
hopes that an equal availability of schooling for all would reduce social divisions. Mann (cited in
Cremin, 1957) states that ‘education, then, beyond all other divides of human origin, is a great
equalizer of conditions of men – the balance wheel of the social machinery’.
If education is to have its intended effect, all students must have access to an education that
prepares them for success. Unfortunately, poor, black, Hispanic and non-native English speakers
are least likely to have such access, and they are most likely to attend segregated low-quality
schools. Throughout the history of public schooling, reforms have been implemented to improve
access to educational opportunities. This research will provide an understanding of whether access
and equality has improved during a neoliberal reform era in New York City. In addition to

Special Feature
Some may question the role of nursing theory and related
paradigms in the age of sustainable development. True, what
is needed now is action—measurable change with a focus on
outcomes showing improved health and wellbeing and a
demonstrable commitment to equity, inclusion, universal
respect, and environmental thriving. The profession needs
leaders to advance nursing’s political voice and harness
mutually beneficial, long-term partnerships with stakehold-
ers in the economic, financial, agricultural, energy, and busi-
ness sectors. One tangible goal, being promoted through
campaigns such as Nursing Now (n.d.), is to have a nursing
presence at all decision-making tables related to health pol-
icy that addresses the myriad determinants of health. With
2020 claimed as the Nurse and the Midwife (World Health
Organization [WHO], 2019), we must not only honor our
skills to adapt, collaborate, and progress but also celebrate
our historical roots that establish nurses as sojourners with
society and lightkeepers in a chronically dehumanizing
healthcare system.
Why is talk of caring, integrality, and a humanistic nursing
lens essential in the context of the 17 United Nations (UN)
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (United Nations,
2016) (see Figure)? Theory-guided practice continues to
inform discipline-specific care as well as agendas of
advocacy. Nurses across settings and in all nations worldwide
play pivotal roles in the global attainment of the SDGs
through acts of concerned citizenship and professional lead-
ership (Dossey, Rosa, & Beck, 2019; Rosa, 2017a; Rosa,
Sullivan-Marx et al., 2019). Theory breathes into the world

Figure 2-1: Simplified Model of Symmetric Encryption
Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
A symmetric encryption scheme has five ingredients (Figure 2.1):
• Plaintext: This is the original message or data that is fed into the algorithm
as input.
• Encryption algorithm: The encryption algorithm performs various substitutions
and transformations on the plaintext.
• Secret key: The secret key is also input to the algorithm. The exact substitutions
and transformations performed by the algorithm depend on the key.
• Ciphertext: This is the scrambled message produced as output. It depends on
the plaintext and the secret key. For a given message, two different keys will
produce two different ciphertexts.
• Decryption algorithm: This is essentially the encryption algorithm run in
reverse. It takes the ciphertext and the same secret key and produces the
original plaintext.

Requirements (1 of 2)
There are two requirements for secure use of symmetric encryption:
A strong encryption algorithm
Sender and receiver must have obtained copies of the secret key in a secure fashion and must keep the key secure
The security of symmetric encryption depends on the secrecy of the key, not the secrecy of the algorithm
This makes it feasible for widespread use
Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
There are two requirements for secure use of symmetric encryption:
1. We need a strong encryption algorithm. At a minimum, we would like the
algorithm to be such that an opponent who knows the algorithm and has
access to one or more ciphertexts would be unable to decipher the ciphertext
or figure out the key. This requirement is usually stated in a stronger form:
The opponent should be unable to decrypt ciphertext or discover the key even
if he or she is in possession of a number of ciphertexts together with the plaintext
that produced each ciphertext.
2. Sender and receiver must have obtained copies of the secret key in a secure
fashion and must keep the key secure. If someone can discover the key and
knows the algorithm, all communication using this key is reada ...

-------------- Context ----------------
Vietnam’s development over the past 30 years has been remarkable. Economic and political reforms under Đổi Mới, launched in 1986, have spurred rapid economic growth, transforming what was then one of the world’s poorest nations into a lower middle-income country. Between 2002 and 2018, more than 45 million people were lifted out of poverty. Poverty rates declined sharply from over 70% to below 6% (US$3.2/day PPP), and GDP per capita increased by 2.5 times, standing over US$2,500 in 2018.
In the medium-term, Vietnam’s economic outlook is positive, despite signs of cyclical moderation in growth. After peaking at 7.1% in 2018, real GDP growth in 2019 is projected to slightly decelerate in 2019, led by weaker external demand and continued tightening of credit and fiscal policies. Real GDP growth is projected to remain robust at around 6.5% in 2020 and 2021. Annual headline inflation has been stable for the seven consecutive years – at single digits, trending towards 4% and below in recent years. The external balance remains under control and should continue to be financed by strong FDI inflows which reached almost US$18 billion in 2018 – accounting for almost 24% of total investment in the economy.
Vietnam is experiencing rapid demographic and social change. Its population reached 97 million in 2018 (up from about 60 million in 1986) and is expected to expand to 120 million before moderating around 2050. Today, 70% of the population is under 35 years of age, with a life expectancy of 76 years, the highest among countries in the region at similar income levels. But the population is rapidly aging. And an emerging middle class, currently accounting for 13% of the population, is expected to reach 26% by 2026.
Vietnam ranks 48 out of 157 countries on the human capital index (HCI), second in ASEAN behind Singapore. A Vietnamese child born today will be 67% as productive when she grows up as she could be if she enjoyed complete education and full health. Vietnam’s HCI is highest among middle-income countries, but there are some disparities within the country, especially for ethnic minorities. There would also be a need to upgrade the skill of the workforce to create productive jobs at a large scale in the future.
Over the last thirty years, the provision of basic services has significantly improved. Access of households to modern infrastructure services has increased dramatically. As of 2016, 99% of the population used electricity as their main source of lighting, up from 14 % in 1993. Access to clean water in rural areas has also improved, up from 17% in 1993 to 70% in 2016, while that figure for urban areas is above 95%.
Vietnam performs well on general education. Coverage and learning outcomes are high and equitably achieved in primary schools — evidenced by remarkably high scores in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2012 and 2015, ...

Definition
Quantum mechanics is the part of material science identifying with the little.
It brings about what may have all the earmarks of being some extremely peculiar decisions about the physical world. At the size of particles and electrons, a significant number of the conditions of old style mechanics, which depict how things move at ordinary sizes and speeds, stop to be helpful. In traditional mechanics, objects exist in a particular spot at a particular time. Be that as it may, in quantum mechanics, protests rather exist in a fog of likelihood; they have a specific possibility of being at point An, another possibility of being at point B, etc.Three revolutionary principles
Quantum mechanics (QM) created over numerous decades, starting as a lot of questionable scientific clarifications of tests that the math of old style mechanics couldn't clarify. It started at the turn of the twentieth century, around a similar time that Albert Einstein distributed his hypothesis of relativity, a different numerical unrest in material science that portrays the movement of things at high speeds. In contrast to relativity, nonetheless, the sources of QM can't be credited to any one researcher. Or maybe, various researchers added to an establishment of three progressive rules that bit by bit picked up acknowledgment and exploratory confirmation somewhere in the range of 1900 and 1930. They are:
Quantized properties:
Certain properties, for example, position, speed and shading, can once in a while just happen in explicit, set sums, much like a dial that "clicks" from number to number. This tested a crucial presumption of old style mechanics, which said that such properties should exist on a smooth, ceaseless range. To portray the possibility that a few properties "clicked" like a dial with explicit settings, researchers begat the word "quantized".
Particles of light:
Light can now and again act as a molecule. This was at first met with unforgiving analysis, as it negated 200 years of trials indicating that light acted as a wave; much like waves on the outside of a quiet lake. Light acts comparatively in that it ricochets off dividers and twists around corners, and that the peaks and troughs of the wave can include or counteract. Included wave peaks bring about more splendid light, while waves that counterbalance produce obscurity. A light source can be thought of ...

The article that I am looking at is Online Dating Vs. Offline Dating: Pros and Cons.It was written by Julie Spira, an online dating expert, bestselling author, and CEO of Cyber-Dating Expert. The name of the article is spot on in describing what it is about. The author goes through the pros and cons of dating online and offline in today’s day and age. The author avoids bias because she looks at both options in both their positive and negative attributes. She comes at the issues from both angles and I believe she does a very good job at remaining unbiased. She states that “if you're serious about meeting someone special, you must include a combination of both online and offline dating in your routine” (Spira, 2013, par. 18). She’s stating that both options have their pros and cons and that really a combination of both is needed to find someone. The only bias I could see anyone pointing out would be that she is a woman, so you do not get the male perspective on these things. That being said, I one hundred percent think she covers all of the questions people may have about online and offline dating in today’s world. The only assumption being made here is that the reader wants to be out in the dating world and they need to know what is best. But, the title of the article is pretty self-explanatory so if someone did not want to know these things, they would not have to waste their time reading it all because they could tell what it would be about by the title.
The resource that she used was herself, and like I stated above, she is an online dating expert, bestselling author, and CEO of Cyber-Dating Expert; so she is more than qualified to give her perspective on these issues. I find her to be credible and thought provoking. Her credibility supports everything the article says and makes the reader feel like they are being told the truth by someone who completely understands all of the pros and cons.

Peter ReevesDefining the Problem
The health care system in Colorado is a composition of medical professionals providing services such as diagnosis, treatment, as well as preventive measures to mental illness and injuries ("Healthcare policy in Colorado - Ballotpedia," 2019). Health care policy involves the establishment and implementation of legislation and other regulations that the states use to manage its health care system effectively. Further, this sector consists of other participants, such as insurance and health information technology. The cost citizens pay for medical care and also the access to quality care influence the overall health care providers in Colorado. Therefore, the need for the creation and implementation of laws that help the state maintain efficiency in the health sector in Colorado.
Problem Statement
The declining standards of medical care within the United States has caused significant concern in the world. Due to these rising concerns, there have been various policies implemented, leading to mixed reactions among the different states. Some of the active policies implemented offer a long-term solution to this problem including Medicaid and Medicare. After acquiring state control, the Republicans dismissed the idea to expand and create medical insurance for Medicaid in Colorado. Sustaining the structure of the health care payroll calls for the deductions from the employees and the employers, which may lead to loss of jobs and increased burden of expenditure (Garcia, 2019).
Identify the Methodology
The main objective of this policy plan is to investigate the role of legislation in the management of the health care sector in the United States. Due to the need for achieving in-depth exploration, this paper uses a combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection by addressing both practical and theoretical aspects of the research. Based on the answers that the policy requires, choosing survey as the research design. This method involves collecting and analyzing data from a few people who represent the principal group within health care. However, the survey method faces some challenges such as attitudes and perception of the health workers leading to the delimitation of the study. The target population for the study includes the nurses within the health sectors in Colorado. The selection of the participants involved in the use of stratified random sampling.
Identify your Stakeholders
The major stakeholders in the creation and implementation of the policy plan include the legislatures, local government, patients, and other private parties such as the insurance companies. Collectively, these bodies are involved in the makin ...

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a feeding disorder characterized by avoidance of food due to sensory characteristics, fear of aversive consequences, or lack of interest in eating. This results in insufficient calorie or nutrient intake leading to issues like weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, or interference with functioning. Treatments that have shown promise for ARFID include family-based treatment involving parents supporting exposure to new foods, cognitive-behavioral therapy with elements like food exposure and relaxation training, and hospital-based refeeding programs, some of which utilize tube feeding for severe cases. However, more research is still needed, as existing studies on treating ARFID are limited and no single approach has been proven

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

HEA 610 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric An effec.docx
- 1. HEA 610 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric An effective enrollment plan cannot be successful without considering the product offering, customer success, and financial implications. The product (courses) and customers (students) are what drives an enrollment plan. The courses and programs offered by an institution define what the institution values and how it responds to market demand. In most institutions, the product mix is a factor of the institution’s brand, the economic opportunities, and the forces that influence student enrollment decisions. Nothing is without cost. If a program or major is discontinued, that will affect the faculty and staff associated with that program. If majors are added, then new resources must be committed to support them. In both cases, the product mix requires that the institution can respond to student demand. Keep in mind that sometimes programs are kept, even with small enrollments, in order to ensure a diverse and robust general education offering, or to meet accreditation or other regulatory requirements. None of these decisions should be made lightly and all will require compelling evidence to support them one way or another. For this milestone, you will submit a robust projected outcomes analysis that considers the product mix, customer demands, and financial implications of those decisions. The institution will be committing significant resources to the enrollment plan, so these decisions must be
- 2. made with the best possible evidence of value and return on investment. The projected outcomes provide the framework by which the institution will measure progress toward achieving its goals. Some elements for the outcomes can include key performance indicators (KPIs) or specific and measurable metrics that indicate achievement of a business goal. You should consider the costs for each step of the recruitment process and weigh them against the potential revenue. Generally speaking, the institution’s revenue goals are maximized with graduates, not student starts. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Recommend programmatic changes in program offerings necessitated by indicators from your enrollment marketplace analysis and your strategic enrollment management plan. Consider the following programmatic issues you could address, in addition to other issues germane to your institution: challenge? are projected as promising in the near future (based upon feedback and projections from advisory boards, employment agencies, career services, market analysis, etc.)? pass, which programs are logical candidates to be discontinued? Which programs that are not currently offered are viable candidates for inclusion or addition?
- 3. II. Analyze the impact on student achievement. Recommend policies and procedures to improve student persistence and retention, in relation to the institution’s mission and goals. Explain how these policies and procedures address the issues identified in the strategic enrollment plan. Describe how they will impact the quality of student life and student achievement. Consider the following programmatic issues you could address, in addition to other issues germane to your institution: your institution’s enrollment management effort? lity of student life be impacted by the success of your plan? -year student persistence and student retention be affected as a result of your plan? III. Defend the financial implications of the plan in relation to your institution’s strategic plan. Note that it is not necessary to create a budget or know the exact dollar amount the plan would cost. Rather, you should discuss the types of costs and revenues in general based on the KPIs, and defend them as necessary costs and benefits of plan implementation. Consider the following in your defense, in addition to other relevant information that will enhance
- 4. your position: enrollment outreach initiatives and why these costs are necessary in relation to the institution’s mission and strategic plan. Explain how the program changes will impact expenditures. Identify what resources might be required. Consider the factors that would predict any unintended costs that might accrue. Identify any mitigating factors, such as accreditation criteria or state regulations that merit consideration. strategic enrollment outreach initiatives in relation to the institution’s mission and strategic plan. Identify how these changes will positively impact retention, attrition, and persistence. Be aware of any potential revenue streams that might result.
