Infancy to Early Childhood Case Analysis Part I: For this discussion board assignment, you will conduct an interview with a parent who has a child in the early childhood stage of development. In your interview, solicit information to understand the child's development from infancy to early childhood about the area of development assigned to you. --please explore the social needs of the child's development. Social Needs: For social needs, use Erikson's psychosocial theory of development. ALL students should also explore how multi-cultural factors have impacted the area of development you are exploring (i.e., ethnicity, race, gender, socioeconomic status, ableism, religion, sexual orientation and other sub-cultural influences such as military). There are two optional videos in the learning module that will help you think about culture more deeply and generate ideas about possible areas/questions to explore with your interviewee. Quality posts will integrate material from the textbook to support your analysis of the child's development. All material from the textbook should be cited in APA style. Students should define psychological terms and concepts used; assume your audience is not familiar with developmental psychology. ...

In this module, we examined crimes against persons, crimes against p.docx
In this module, we examined crimes against persons, crimes against property, and white-collar crimes. These crimes are all treated differently by the legislature as well as the media. These differences are a reflection of how society views them. As you consider these differences, you should also consider how these differences have evolved over time.
Tasks:
Prepare a 3- to 5-page report that describes all of the following points:
The differences in the treatment of each type of crime by the legislature. Explore the different crime levels (misdemeanor
vs.
felony) and different punishments.
The differences in the descriptions utilized by the media. How does the media depict the different types of criminals? Have there been any changes?
The differences in the theoretical applications for these types of crimes. How do the theories differentiate between these types of criminal behavior?

In this module, we explore how sexual identity impacts the nature of.docx
In this module, we explore how sexual identity impacts the nature of friendship for all of us. With the legalization of gay marriages and rise of alternative unions, as well as the sociocultural prevalence of much wider acceptance of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer identity definitions in society, we are witnessing expanded definitions, beliefs, and values regarding sexual self-identity and the dynamics of friendship.
Philosopher Michael Foucault argues that we have an opportunity to expand our understanding of friendship, beyond the state of the current realm, where our connections remain quite limited: “Society and the institutions which frame it have limited the possibility of relationships (to marriage) because a rich, relational world would be very complex to manage” (p. 207).
Your initial post should be at least 250 words and must provide a minimum of one cited reference in APA style. For assistance with APA style formatting, visit the

or the
Excelsior OWL
.
Please answer one of the following:
How do you perceive changes in social stereotypes, issues, and judgments regarding sexualities as potentially impacting changes in friendship, in the relationships, cultural expressions, and understandings of friendships?
Do you think that the social expansion of acceptance of "LGBTQ" identities and relationships has an impact upon the dynamics of friendship generally in the society?
Do you think that this has changed your own perspective?

The most visible manifestation of the Renaissance comes from artistic genius and innovation, but the defining feature of the period is an outlook or worldview called humanism. Both of these developed in a particular set of circumstances, a unique historical context that characterized the northern Italian city-states and that we call the Renaissance. Their dominance of Mediterranean trade made these Italian cities into prosperous commercial centers where powerful merchants displaced the old landed aristocracy in positions of power and influence. The resulting social structure bore little resemblance to the traditional ordered society of the Middle Ages. Another point of uniqueness was Italian cities’ relatively independent political development that led first to republican forms and then to despotism. In the process, they laid the foundations for modern political thought.
Of these two sets of circumstances, the political and the economic, which do you think was most important in creating an environment ripe for the Renaissance to flourish? Why?

Human Impacts on the Sustainability of Groundwater
Sustainability is based on a simple principle: Everything that is needed for survival and well-being depends either directly or indirectly on the natural environment. Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, while also helping to fulfill the social and economic requirements of present and future generations.
Part 1
:
Background Information
Planet Earth’s surface is over 70% water, but less than 1% of the water on Earth is considered accessible, usable freshwater for sustaining humans’ and other organisms’ lives. Of the accessible freshwater, approximately 99% is located in aquifers, natural underground water chambers, and other groundwater sources. Unfortunately, humans are depleting the aquifers faster than they can be recharged by the hydrological cycle. Therefore, three quarters of groundwater is considered nonrenewable.
Conditions
The main reason we using groundwater resources mainly for drinking and irrigation. As a result, this not only decreases an important source of freshwater—it also can cause pollution of that groundwater by saltwater intrusion. The recharge rate of groundwater is further hindered by land clearing and deforestation caused by human development. When land is cleared for human development, more flooding occurs, the
transpiration rate
(the amount of water that evaporates into the atmosphere from plants) is reduced, and rainwater is inhibited from adequately
percolating
(penetrating the soil) into the ground to allow for aquifers and groundwater to be recharged.
Figure below shows Saltwater Intrusion
:
(Wright & Boorse, 2010)
Impacts
Forty percent of the world’s food is produced via irrigation. As a result, if the current rate of groundwater usage continues, food production could be drastically reduced worldwide. This reduction in food supply would be detrimental in sustaining the projected worldwide human population of over 10 billion within the next 50 years.

Part 1
:
Introduction
The natural balance that occurs between global atmospheric cooling and warming processes provides an important contribution to the Earth’s varied climates.
Troposphere gases
Planetary albedo from clouds low in the troposphere, sulfur dioxide (SO
2
) from active volcanoes, snow, and ice all reflect incoming solar radiation back into space. This causes a
cooling
effect on climates within a geographical area.
Clouds
high
in the troposphere and greenhouse gases such as water vapor(H
2
O), carbon dioxide (CO
2
) , methane (CH
4
) , and nitrous oxide (N
2
O) have a
warming
effect.
Along with the solar activity, these cooling and warming processes help ensure that the planet’s average surface temperature is a net value that is above freezing, helping to ensure that life is possible.
Theory on CO
2
Emissions
It has been hypothesized that anthropogenic effects (conditions caused by human activity) that are associated with industry, agriculture, and fossil fuel use have enhanced these warming processes by contributing greenhouse gases such as N
2
O, CH
4
,and CO
2
into the troposphere. As a result, CO
2
is believed to contribute the most to the atmospheric warming process.
Pollution
Pollution
is a substance that produces a detrimental change in the environment because of its composition and abundance. Anthropogenic sources of CO
2
fit this description because of the perception that there is evidence of a positive correlation between the increases in anthropogenic CO
2
and increases in temperature. In turn, as temperatures increase, climates can change worldwide, unbalancing ecosystems across the globe.
Strategies
Strategies and prediction models can be used to decrease or eliminate the effects that are associated with a particular pollutant. First, the cause of the pollution must be identified. Then, scientists can create innovate ways to reduce or eliminate its production.

Inferential Analysis
Chapter 20
NUR 6812Nursing Research
Florida National University
Introduction - Inferential Analysis
We will discuss analysis of variance and regression, which are technically part of the same family of statistics known as the general linear method but are used to achieve different analytical goals
ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used so often that Iversen and Norpoth (1987) said they once had a student who thought this was the name of an Italian statistician.
You can think of analysis of variance as a whole family of procedures beginning with the simple and frequently used t-test and becoming quite complicated with the use of multiple dependent variables (MANOVA, to be explained later in this chapter) and covariates.
Although the simpler varieties of these statistics can actually be calculated by hand, it is assumed that you will use a statistical software package for your calculations.
If you want to see how these calculations are done, you could try to compute a correlation, chi-square, t-test, or ANOVA yourself (see Yuker, 1958; Field, 2009), but in general it is too time consuming and too subject to human error to do these by hand.
IMPORTANT TERMINOLOGY
Several terms are used in these analyses that you need to be familiar with to understand the analyses themselves and the results. Many will already be familiar to you.
Statistical significance: This indicates the probability that the differences found are a result of error, not the treatment. Stated in terms of the P value, the convention is to accept either a 1% (P ≤ 0.01), or 1 out of 100, or 5% (P ≤ 0.05), or 5 out of 100, possibility that any differences seen could have been due to error (Cortina & Dunlap, 2007).
Research hypothesis: A research hypothesis is a declarative statement of the expected relationship between the dependent and independent variable(s).
Null hypothesis: The null hypothesis, based on the research hypothesis, states that the predicted relationships will not be found or that those found could have occurred by chance, meaning the difference will not be statistically significant.
Effect size: This is defined by Cortina and Dunlap as “the amount of variance in one variable accounted for by another in the sample at hand” (2007, p. 231). Effect size estimates are helpful adjuncts to significance testing. An important limitation, however, is that they are heavily influenced by the type of treatment or manipulation that occurred and the measures that are used.
Confidence intervals: Although sometimes suggested as an adjunct or replacement for the significance level, confidence intervals are determined in part by the alpha (significance level) (Cortina & Dunlap, 2007). Likened to a margin of error, the confidence intervals indicate the range within which the true difference between means may lie. A narrow confidence interval implies high precision; we can specify believable values within a narrow range ...

his chapter marks the beginning of the strategic management pro-
cess and is one of two that considers the external environment. At
this point it is appropriate to focus on factors external to the organiza-
tion and to view fi rm performance from an industrial organization
perspective. Internal factors are considered later in the process and in future
chapters.
Each business operates among a group of companies that produces compet-
ing products or services known as an industry. The concept of an industry is a
simple one, but it is often confused in everyday conversations. The term industry
does not refer to a single company or specifi c fi rms in general. For example, in
the statement, “A new industry is moving to the community,” the word industry
should be replaced by company or fi rm.
Although usually differences exist among competitors, each industry has its
own set of combat rules governing such issues as product quality, pricing, and
distribution. This is especially true for industries that contain a large number of
fi rms offering standardized products and services. Most competitors—but not
all—follow the rules. For example, most service stations in the United States
generally offer regular unleaded, midgrade, and premium unleaded gasoline at
prices that do not differ substantially from those at nearby stations. Breaking the
so-called rules and charting a different strategic course might be possible, but
may not be desirable. As such, it is important for strategic managers to under-
stand the structure of the industry(s) in which their fi rms operate before decid-
ing how to compete successfully.
Defi ning a fi rm’s industry is not always an easy task. In a perfect world, each
fi rm would operate in one clearly defi ned industry; however, ma ...

Introduction
Infectious infections have created increased attention, especially after several outbreaks and pandemics that altered human health globally. Covid-19 and the related infections are the most recent challenges caused by infectious diseases affecting the whole world. This presentation illustrates common infectious diseases in the nature they are caused, their diagnosis, treatment, and possible prevention methods. It shall also describe the common symptoms of infectious diseases and when to seek medical attention.
2
Overview
Overview
Infectious diseases have attracted increased attention globally because of their various occurrence. Its symptoms range from mild to severe, and the treatment and management depend on the cause of infection. Infectious diseases are caused by several pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi, to mention a few. Transmission of pathogens in humans happens in numerous ways, including direct transmission through contact, water, and foodborne infections. Infection from insects such as ticks and mosquitoes can also effectively transmit pathogens.

Individuals with a higher risk of infectious diseases
All individuals are at risk of contracting infectious diseases. However, individuals with compromised immune systems are at higher risk of getting infectious diseases. Individuals at higher risks of getting infectious diseases include; people with suppressed immunities, such as patients of cancer, HIV, and recent organ transmissions. People unvaccinated for certain infectious diseases are also considered at higher risk of getting infectious diseases. Other individuals at higher risks of getting infectious diseases are children and healthcare workers.

Infectious diseases are common worldwide. Some infectious diseases are more common and strike more often than others. For instance, infections caused by E. coli are common and may not require medications because they may cause mild signs of complications. In the United States, a fifth of the population is infected with influenza annually. This indicates that infectiou ...

Literature Review: Background to the Problem
10/9/2019
Cognitive theory focuses on experiences in three looping processes, comprehension, memory, and application
According to Goossens (2020), cognitive theories in learning is affected by biology, environment, and social constructs
Bottom-up and top-down influences define experience of learning and thus memory and its retention (Tyng et al., 2017)
Comprehension is interpretative with different people and methodologies of gaining skills require support for better retention of knowledge (Ford et al., 2020)

Objective:
The outline on this slide is used in the Prospectus to develop the Background of the Study in Chapter 1 and the Background of the Problem Space in Chapter 2.
Slide Requirements:
Use either a bulleted format or table format
Describe what is already understood about the problem - Historically, memory retention is dependent on biology, social determinants, and educational roles (Berger et al., 2012)
Present findings from prior research related to the history of the problem space – individual are unique by circumstances, cognition development is different for each person hence memory retention and its experiences are unique. In education sector today, curriculum caters to meeting outcomes of the larger group with less focus on individual pace of learning.
Focus on:
When the problem started – generalization of education and learning environment through general curriculum tends to segregate some learners
What has been discovered about the problem - According to Tyng et al. (2017), “the effects of emotion on learning and memory are not always univalent” it points to the fact that progression is a personal journey such that how learning is understood is directly linked to how it is taught, the environment it is taught in, and the emotional attachments of information processing. Therefore, productivity in learning can only be attained by training and task definition which can be versatile form one person to another.
The current state of the problem – Development of separate special classes for students with learning challenge is beneficial but with poor education systems, the program could be detrimental for the future especially in self teaching learners. With guidance for retention of knowledge being a taught skill, ineffective environments and lack of support could be detrimental especially to disadvantaged communities

Technology Management Plan
2. Introduction
You have been selected to be the acting CIO for a subsidiary of Largo Corporation called Rustic Americana. Its primary products include arts and crafts that reflect the history, geography, folklore and cultural heritage of the United States. It specializes in direct marketing and sales through its call center. Sales are through a web store, a brick and mortar store, and a direct mail catalogue. All services are housed under one roof that include warehousing, order fulfillment, shipping, corporate management and operations, and the call center. The success of the company hinges on its eye-catching direct mail catalogue and the unique product line.
Unfortunately, annual sales have declined over the years due largely due to internal issues. The previous CIO was terminated some say due to incompetence primarily related to the underperforming call center. In addition, speculation swirled around the activities of the CIO. He was often absent from the building. He secluded himself behind the closed door of his office. Associated rumors mounted, and it was believed that he was running a consulting business on company time. When the Rustic Americana CEO asked him about this during a formal review, the CIO answered that it was a weekend hobby that kept him abreast of emerging technologies. The CEO asked him if one of their competitors was a client and he vehemently denied the accusation. She was certain that the CIO was not being entirely truthful with her.
Call Center Operations
Managing a call center demands a wide range of skills including managerial, troubleshooting, patience and being cool under pressure. Knowledge of computer and communications skills is helpful but most call centers have a technical support division. The call center manager is Prisha Khan – she has been in the job for about 2 months.
The customer service representative (CSR) in the call center responds to a call for product. On the customer management system (CMS), the CSR collects and directly enters customer information; on a separate inventory management system (IMS), the CSR looks up the product, and verifies if the warehouse has it in stock. If it does, the order is entered on the CMS, and the CSR decreases the inventory on the IMS. On the CMS, the CSR creates an order fulfillment ticket that is automatically shuttled to the warehouse processing clerk who prints it and then generates the shipping label. The shipping label is prepared through a web-based system through either UPS or USPS, which also produces a tracking number used by both the company and the customer. The processing clerk enters the shipping costs and tracking number into the CMS. The customer is billed when the order ships.
The warehouse crew uses bar code scanners to track merchandise; once the order is selected, it moves along a conveyor to a shipping clerk who packages the order, affixes the shipping label, sca ...

Individual Case Study – Chipotle
Executive Summary
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. is one of the leading quick-service restaurant chains in the US and
operates 2,622 restaurants. The company’s existing strategy and business model indicate that it
operates firm-owned restaurants and focuses on delivering high-quality food at low prices
everyday to customers. The company has been successful but faces numerous complaints
regarding food contamination. This report presents a new mission statement appropriate for its
businesses and carries an internal analysis of the company. Based on the internal and financial
analysis, two alternative strategies have been proposed, and projections based on the
recommended strategy to open up new casual dining restaurants in the US are presented in this
report. It is suggested that the new strategy will increase the company’s profitability and generate
a positive net present value.
Existing Mission, Objectives, and Strategies
The company’s existing mission is “food with integrity” [CITATION Chi201 \l 1033 ] which
implies that it ensures that its supplies are from sustainable sources without the use of chemicals
that could have harmful effects on humans. The primary goal of the company is to “focus on safe
and delicious food made with better ingredients” [CITATION Chi202 \l 1033 ]. Its strategy
remained to have a small menu that offers limited choices of healthy, nutritious, and good quality
food items at competitively low prices. Furthermore, its focus is on expanding the network on its
restaurants in the United States until recently, as the company has launched its online and mobile
food ordering systems. It relies on providing efficient customer service and carrying out strong
advertising and marketing programs to communicate with customers and increase its sales.

CHIPOTLE
A New Mission Statement
The new mission statement of Chipotle is to (1) serve customers (2) healthy and delicious food
(3) without boundaries (4) by using sustainable food production technologies (5) and consistently
growing its business (6) by expanding its network and following ethical practices (7) and
challenging its competitors (8) by giving best quality food and value and services (9) by its
highly trained employees.
Analysis Of the Firm’s Existing Business Model
The existing business model of Chipotle focuses on providing enhanced food experience to its
customers. The key to the company’s business model is that it was not based on the standards of
Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) and offered a new approach to the business that challenged
other companies in the market. The company operates a large network of more than two
thousand restaurants in the United States and thirty restaurants in internal markets. Its business
model is based on a simple menu with a limited number of ...

In-Depth Integrative Case 4.1 How Didi Fought Uber in China
In-Depth Integrative Case 4.1
How Didi Fought Uber in China and Won; Next, Taking On the
World
Introduction
Technology is constantly evolving, and firms who have leveraged the unprecedented growth
rate of modern innovation have seen quick success. Didi Chuxing, China’s largest ridesharing
servicer, is no exception. With roots dating back to 2012, Didi has quickly gained Chinese
support, and with over 7.4 billion rides completed in 2017, Didi’s emphasis on technology has
allowed the young ridesharing firm to gain monopolistic authority within China.1
Rising transportation demand in China has created intense ridesharing competition within
China, and Didi’s early expansion efforts were obstructed by competitors, most notably Uber,
who entered China in 2014. With locations in over 60 countries, Uber had the experience
needed to quickly gain a foothold within China. Hefty subsidies, discounts, and marketing
promotions propelled the competitive battle between Uber and Didi, and the immediate
influence of Uber’s reputation led to a quick deterioration of Didi’s market dominance.
Nonetheless, governmental protectionism, strong Chinese partners, and a unique cultural
landscape in China presented Didi with the competitive edge needed to halt Uber’s expansion.2
Fierce opposition weakened revenues, and each firm reported losses exceeding US$1 billion
within the first year of competition.3 As a result, in August of 2016, Uber and Didi agreed to
US$35 billion alliance in which Didi would acquire Uber China. In return, Uber would receive an
initial 5.89 percent stake in the combined company, and with preferred equity interest, Uber’s
total position amounted to 17.7 percent.4 This announcement effectively halted Uber’s effort
to compete head-on with Didi in China and confirmed Didi’s dominance over the Chinese
ridesharing market.
The acquisition of Uber China meant only temporary peace to cut throat ridesharing
competition, and new wars are beginning to emerge as the two firms each strive to gain global
ridesharing dominance. Uber is now faced with a difficult situation as Chinese authority and
growing revenue streams inch Didi closer to global superiority. As Didi prepares to expand into
international markets, it is only a matter of time before these two players clash once again.5
An Evolving Chinese Ridesharing Market
China has quickly become the world’s largest provider of ridesharing services, and in 2017, a
total of 20.81 billion rides were offered through these platforms. Today, ridesharing accounts
for almost 2 percent of all transportation within China.6 While ridesharing may retain only a
modest presence, it is nonetheless the fastest growing method of transportation in the nation
as these services have been available for less than a decade. Rapid growth justifies China’s
US$30 billion ride hailing market valuation, and continued development has led analysts to
believe that this market will double in ...
Increased Risk of Falls Everyone strives to feel safe a
Increased Risk of Falls
Everyone strives to feel safe and comfortable in their living surroundings. With age comes the necessity to keep one's mind at ease while going about one's everyday tasks. In older individuals, falls are the primary cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries. Because of the increasing incidence of frailty and a limited physiologic reserve among the aging population, fatal falls occur in persons of all ages, but those over 75 experience higher rates of morbidity and mortality. Falls are the primary cause of injury-related emergency room visits, especially among the elderly. Falls can cause injuries such as hip fractures, brain injuries, and rib fractures. Depression, social isolation, and limitations in their other activities are some of the additional drawbacks. Falls, whether they cause harm, have a significant influence on one's quality of life, especially for the elderly. As a result of their fear of falling, an increasing number of older adults are limiting their activities and social engagements. Therefore, as nurses, ensure assess fall risks and prevent falls in older adults.
I. Falls are a frequent clinical condition that affects approximately half of all Americans over the age of 65.
A. An older adult is treated in the emergency room after a fall every 11 seconds.
1. Because of the higher incidence of frailty and a limited physiologic reserve among the elderly, falling causes higher rates of morbidity and mortality among individuals over 75.
a. It is typical for elderly adults to have multiple chronic health conditions, as well as a loss of physical strength and bone density. Those are the ones who induce them to fall and easily fracture their bones.
b. Muscle strength, balance, and reaction time all decline as we age which put older adults at a significant risk of falling.
II. There are many risk factors of fall in elderly.
A. Polypharmacy, antipsychotic drugs, visual deficit, and cognitive impairment can cause falls in older adults.
1. Many older adults take multiple drugs daily and receive treatment from different physicians. As well as they tend to take antipsychotic drugs for depression or other mental illnesses.
a. For instance, many elderlies have hypertension, and sometimes they take both diuretics and antihypertensive medication for it. These combined medications may cause severe hypotension and risk for falls.
b. Many older adults must depend on other people with ADLs, lost their loved ones, lonely, and depressed, so they take antipsychotic drugs to minimize these conditions. Antipsychotic medications might cause drowsiness and risk for falls.
III. Nursing management of falls
A. Management of fall is challenge for nurses, but there are several ways to reduce falls.
1. Encourage fall risk clients to wear slip resistant socks or shoes, reinforce to use call light before getting up, rise and reposition slowly, use walker, stay within arm’s reach, use bed alarm or chair alarm, and answer call lig ...

Florida National University
Introduction - Inferential Analysis
We will discuss analysis of variance and regression, which are technically part of the same family of statistics known as the general linear method but are used to achieve different analytical goals
ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used so often that Iversen and Norpoth (1987) said they once had a student who thought this was the name of an Italian statistician.
You can think of analysis of variance as a whole family of procedures beginning with the simple and frequently used t-test and becoming quite complicated with the use of multiple dependent variables (MANOVA, to be explained later in this chapter) and covariates.
Although the simpler varieties of these statistics can actually be calculated by hand, it is assumed that you will use a statistical software package for your calculations.
If you want to see how these calculations are done, you could try to compute a correlation, chi-square, t-test, or ANOVA yourself (see Yuker, 1958; Field, 2009), but in general it is too time consuming and too subject to human error to do these by hand.
IMPORTANT TERMINOLOGY
Several terms are used in these analyses that you need to be familiar with to understand the analyses themselves and the results. Many will already be familiar to you.
Statistical significance: This indicates the probability that the differences found are a result of error, not the treatment. Stated in terms of the P value, the convention is to accept either a 1% (P ≤ 0.01), or 1 out of 100, or 5% (P ≤ 0.05), or 5 out of 100, possibility that any differences seen could have been due to error (Cortina & Dunlap, 2007).
Research hypothesis: A research hypothesis is a declarative statement of the expected relationship between the dependent and independent variable(s).
Null hypothesis: The null hypothesis, based on the research hypothesis, states that the predicted relationships will not be found or that those found could have occurred by chance, meaning the difference will not be statistically significant.
Effect size: This is defined by Cortina and Dunlap as “the amount of variance in one variable accounted for by another in the sample at hand” (2007, p. 231). Effect size estimates are helpful adjuncts to significance testing. An important limitation, however, is that they are heavily influenced by the type of treatment or manipulation that occurred and the measures that are used.
Confidence intervals: Although sometimes suggested as an adjunct or replacement for the significance level, confidence intervals are determined in part by the alpha (significance level) (Cortina & Dunlap, 2007). Likened to a margin of error, the confidence intervals indicate the range within which the true difference between means may lie. A narrow confidence interval implies high precision; we can specify believable values within a narrow range ...

his chapter marks the beginning of the strategic management pro-
cess and is one of two that considers the external environment. At
this point it is appropriate to focus on factors external to the organiza-
tion and to view fi rm performance from an industrial organization
perspective. Internal factors are considered later in the process and in future
chapters.
Each business operates among a group of companies that produces compet-
ing products or services known as an industry. The concept of an industry is a
simple one, but it is often confused in everyday conversations. The term industry
does not refer to a single company or specifi c fi rms in general. For example, in
the statement, “A new industry is moving to the community,” the word industry
should be replaced by company or fi rm.
Although usually differences exist among competitors, each industry has its
own set of combat rules governing such issues as product quality, pricing, and
distribution. This is especially true for industries that contain a large number of
fi rms offering standardized products and services. Most competitors—but not
all—follow the rules. For example, most service stations in the United States
generally offer regular unleaded, midgrade, and premium unleaded gasoline at
prices that do not differ substantially from those at nearby stations. Breaking the
so-called rules and charting a different strategic course might be possible, but
may not be desirable. As such, it is important for strategic managers to under-
stand the structure of the industry(s) in which their fi rms operate before decid-
ing how to compete successfully.
Defi ning a fi rm’s industry is not always an easy task. In a perfect world, each
fi rm would operate in one clearly defi ned industry; however, ma ...

Introduction
Infectious infections have created increased attention, especially after several outbreaks and pandemics that altered human health globally. Covid-19 and the related infections are the most recent challenges caused by infectious diseases affecting the whole world. This presentation illustrates common infectious diseases in the nature they are caused, their diagnosis, treatment, and possible prevention methods. It shall also describe the common symptoms of infectious diseases and when to seek medical attention.
2
Overview
Overview
Infectious diseases have attracted increased attention globally because of their various occurrence. Its symptoms range from mild to severe, and the treatment and management depend on the cause of infection. Infectious diseases are caused by several pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi, to mention a few. Transmission of pathogens in humans happens in numerous ways, including direct transmission through contact, water, and foodborne infections. Infection from insects such as ticks and mosquitoes can also effectively transmit pathogens.

Individuals with a higher risk of infectious diseases
All individuals are at risk of contracting infectious diseases. However, individuals with compromised immune systems are at higher risk of getting infectious diseases. Individuals at higher risks of getting infectious diseases include; people with suppressed immunities, such as patients of cancer, HIV, and recent organ transmissions. People unvaccinated for certain infectious diseases are also considered at higher risk of getting infectious diseases. Other individuals at higher risks of getting infectious diseases are children and healthcare workers.

How Common are infectious diseases?
How Common are infectious diseases?
Infectious diseases are common worldwide. Some infectious diseases are more common and strike more often than others. For instance, infections caused by E. coli are common and may not require medications because they may cause mild signs of complications. In the United States, a fifth of the population is infected with influenza annually. This indicates that infectiou ...

Literature Review: Background to the Problem
10/9/2019
Cognitive theory focuses on experiences in three looping processes, comprehension, memory, and application
According to Goossens (2020), cognitive theories in learning is affected by biology, environment, and social constructs
Bottom-up and top-down influences define experience of learning and thus memory and its retention (Tyng et al., 2017)
Comprehension is interpretative with different people and methodologies of gaining skills require support for better retention of knowledge (Ford et al., 2020)
CONFIDENTIAL
GCU – For Internal Use Only
Objective:
The outline on this slide is used in the Prospectus to develop the Background of the Study in Chapter 1 and the Background of the Problem Space in Chapter 2.
Slide Requirements:
Use either a bulleted format or table format
Describe what is already understood about the problem - Historically, memory retention is dependent on biology, social determinants, and educational roles (Berger et al., 2012)
Present findings from prior research related to the history of the problem space – individual are unique by circumstances, cognition development is different for each person hence memory retention and its experiences are unique. In education sector today, curriculum caters to meeting outcomes of the larger group with less focus on individual pace of learning.
Focus on:
When the problem started – generalization of education and learning environment through general curriculum tends to segregate some learners
What has been discovered about the problem - According to Tyng et al. (2017), “the effects of emotion on learning and memory are not always univalent” it points to the fact that progression is a personal journey such that how learning is understood is directly linked to how it is taught, the environment it is taught in, and the emotional attachments of information processing. Therefore, productivity in learning can only be attained by training and task definition which can be versatile form one person to another.
The current state of the problem – Development of separate special classes for students with learning challenge is beneficial but with poor education systems, the program could be detrimental for the future especially in self teaching learners. With guidance for retention of knowledge being a taught skill, ineffective environments and lack of support could be detrimental especially to disadvantaged communities

2. Introduction
You have been selected to be the acting CIO for a subsidiary of Largo Corporation called Rustic Americana. Its primary products include arts and crafts that reflect the history, geography, folklore and cultural heritage of the United States. It specializes in direct marketing and sales through its call center. Sales are through a web store, a brick and mortar store, and a direct mail catalogue. All services are housed under one roof that include warehousing, order fulfillment, shipping, corporate management and operations, and the call center. The success of the company hinges on its eye-catching direct mail catalogue and the unique product line.
Unfortunately, annual sales have declined over the years due largely due to internal issues. The previous CIO was terminated some say due to incompetence primarily related to the underperforming call center. In addition, speculation swirled around the activities of the CIO. He was often absent from the building. He secluded himself behind the closed door of his office. Associated rumors mounted, and it was believed that he was running a consulting business on company time. When the Rustic Americana CEO asked him about this during a formal review, the CIO answered that it was a weekend hobby that kept him abreast of emerging technologies. The CEO asked him if one of their competitors was a client and he vehemently denied the accusation. She was certain that the CIO was not being entirely truthful with her.
Call Center Operations
Managing a call center demands a wide range of skills including managerial, troubleshooting, patience and being cool under pressure. Knowledge of computer and communications skills is helpful but most call centers have a technical support division. The call center manager is Prisha Khan – she has been in the job for about 2 months.
The customer service representative (CSR) in the call center responds to a call for product. On the customer management system (CMS), the CSR collects and directly enters customer information; on a separate inventory management system (IMS), the CSR looks up the product, and verifies if the warehouse has it in stock. If it does, the order is entered on the CMS, and the CSR decreases the inventory on the IMS. On the CMS, the CSR creates an order fulfillment ticket that is automatically shuttled to the warehouse processing clerk who prints it and then generates the shipping label. The shipping label is prepared through a web-based system through either UPS or USPS, which also produces a tracking number used by both the company and the customer. The processing clerk enters the shipping costs and tracking number into the CMS. The customer is billed when the order ships.
The warehouse crew uses bar code scanners to track merchandise; once the order is selected, it moves along a conveyor to a shipping clerk who packages the order, affixes the shipping label, sca ...

Individual Case Study – Chipotle
Executive Summary
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. is one of the leading quick-service restaurant chains in the US and
operates 2,622 restaurants. The company’s existing strategy and business model indicate that it
operates firm-owned restaurants and focuses on delivering high-quality food at low prices
everyday to customers. The company has been successful but faces numerous complaints
regarding food contamination. This report presents a new mission statement appropriate for its
businesses and carries an internal analysis of the company. Based on the internal and financial
analysis, two alternative strategies have been proposed, and projections based on the
recommended strategy to open up new casual dining restaurants in the US are presented in this
report. It is suggested that the new strategy will increase the company’s profitability and generate
a positive net present value.
Existing Mission, Objectives, and Strategies
The company’s existing mission is “food with integrity” [CITATION Chi201 \l 1033 ] which
implies that it ensures that its supplies are from sustainable sources without the use of chemicals
that could have harmful effects on humans. The primary goal of the company is to “focus on safe
and delicious food made with better ingredients” [CITATION Chi202 \l 1033 ]. Its strategy
remained to have a small menu that offers limited choices of healthy, nutritious, and good quality
food items at competitively low prices. Furthermore, its focus is on expanding the network on its
restaurants in the United States until recently, as the company has launched its online and mobile
food ordering systems. It relies on providing efficient customer service and carrying out strong
advertising and marketing programs to communicate with customers and increase its sales.

CHIPOTLE
A New Mission Statement
The new mission statement of Chipotle is to (1) serve customers (2) healthy and delicious food
(3) without boundaries (4) by using sustainable food production technologies (5) and consistently
growing its business (6) by expanding its network and following ethical practices (7) and
challenging its competitors (8) by giving best quality food and value and services (9) by its
highly trained employees.
Analysis Of the Firm’s Existing Business Model
The existing business model of Chipotle focuses on providing enhanced food experience to its
customers. The key to the company’s business model is that it was not based on the standards of
Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) and offered a new approach to the business that challenged
other companies in the market. The company operates a large network of more than two
thousand restaurants in the United States and thirty restaurants in internal markets. Its business
model is based on a simple menu with a limited number of ...

Due:Wednesday Week 6
Value: 150
Length: 5 - 7 page informal outline.
The purpose of this assignment is for students to write an outline that presents their research for the final paper (the Signature Assignment) for this class. Students are not writing the final paper (yet). For this assignment, and thus for the final paper students are to identify a business that corresponds to the assigned business sectors (each student is to identify a separate business). In this outline, students will bring options and opportunities, creative problem solving to either solve a problem or create an opportunity. Remember we do not tell companies what they “must or should do.” We present options and opportunities. Students will apply creative innovative thought to the analysis. You can use bullet points for this outline. Students should apply any feedback received from this assignment to the final assignment.
Some important items to note before writing Assignment 2:
· Please go to Week 8 and read the Handout and Rubric for Assignment 3.
· The research is very detailed, double-spaced, Times New Roman, APA Headings, Title Page, References and APA citations. This is an example of an APA sample paper.
· Long quotes are not to be used in short papers of this nature; thus, all quotes should be from seven to 12 words and of course must use APA citations.
· The outline is to detail key points supported with corresponding citations.
· The outline must use at least three levels of Use APA headings. Sources (must be current - one year) other than the textbook can include: New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, Wired Magazine, (all can be found in the our University Library). You can also use any government website (usually “.gov”). You can use academic research but it must be recent (five years or newer).

In-Depth Integrative Case 4.1 How Didi Fought Uber in China
In-Depth Integrative Case 4.1
How Didi Fought Uber in China and Won; Next, Taking On the
World
Introduction
Technology is constantly evolving, and firms who have leveraged the unprecedented growth
rate of modern innovation have seen quick success. Didi Chuxing, China’s largest ridesharing
servicer, is no exception. With roots dating back to 2012, Didi has quickly gained Chinese
support, and with over 7.4 billion rides completed in 2017, Didi’s emphasis on technology has
allowed the young ridesharing firm to gain monopolistic authority within China.1
Rising transportation demand in China has created intense ridesharing competition within
China, and Didi’s early expansion efforts were obstructed by competitors, most notably Uber,
who entered China in 2014. With locations in over 60 countries, Uber had the experience
needed to quickly gain a foothold within China. Hefty subsidies, discounts, and marketing
promotions propelled the competitive battle between Uber and Didi, and the immediate
influence of Uber’s reputation led to a quick deterioration of Didi’s market dominance.
Nonetheless, governmental protectionism, strong Chinese partners, and a unique cultural
landscape in China presented Didi with the competitive edge needed to halt Uber’s expansion.2
Fierce opposition weakened revenues, and each firm reported losses exceeding US$1 billion
within the first year of competition.3 As a result, in August of 2016, Uber and Didi agreed to
US$35 billion alliance in which Didi would acquire Uber China. In return, Uber would receive an
initial 5.89 percent stake in the combined company, and with preferred equity interest, Uber’s
total position amounted to 17.7 percent.4 This announcement effectively halted Uber’s effort
to compete head-on with Didi in China and confirmed Didi’s dominance over the Chinese
ridesharing market.
The acquisition of Uber China meant only temporary peace to cut throat ridesharing
competition, and new wars are beginning to emerge as the two firms each strive to gain global
ridesharing dominance. Uber is now faced with a difficult situation as Chinese authority and
growing revenue streams inch Didi closer to global superiority. As Didi prepares to expand into
international markets, it is only a matter of time before these two players clash once again.5
An Evolving Chinese Ridesharing Market
China has quickly become the world’s largest provider of ridesharing services, and in 2017, a
total of 20.81 billion rides were offered through these platforms. Today, ridesharing accounts
for almost 2 percent of all transportation within China.6 While ridesharing may retain only a
modest presence, it is nonetheless the fastest growing method of transportation in the nation
as these services have been available for less than a decade. Rapid growth justifies China’s
US$30 billion ride hailing market valuation, and continued development has led analysts to
believe that this market will double in ...
Increased Risk of Falls Everyone strives to feel safe a
Increased Risk of Falls
Everyone strives to feel safe and comfortable in their living surroundings. With age comes the necessity to keep one's mind at ease while going about one's everyday tasks. In older individuals, falls are the primary cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries. Because of the increasing incidence of frailty and a limited physiologic reserve among the aging population, fatal falls occur in persons of all ages, but those over 75 experience higher rates of morbidity and mortality. Falls are the primary cause of injury-related emergency room visits, especially among the elderly. Falls can cause injuries such as hip fractures, brain injuries, and rib fractures. Depression, social isolation, and limitations in their other activities are some of the additional drawbacks. Falls, whether they cause harm, have a significant influence on one's quality of life, especially for the elderly. As a result of their fear of falling, an increasing number of older adults are limiting their activities and social engagements. Therefore, as nurses, ensure assess fall risks and prevent falls in older adults.
I. Falls are a frequent clinical condition that affects approximately half of all Americans over the age of 65.
A. An older adult is treated in the emergency room after a fall every 11 seconds.
1. Because of the higher incidence of frailty and a limited physiologic reserve among the elderly, falling causes higher rates of morbidity and mortality among individuals over 75.
a. It is typical for elderly adults to have multiple chronic health conditions, as well as a loss of physical strength and bone density. Those are the ones who induce them to fall and easily fracture their bones.
b. Muscle strength, balance, and reaction time all decline as we age which put older adults at a significant risk of falling.
II. There are many risk factors of fall in elderly.
A. Polypharmacy, antipsychotic drugs, visual deficit, and cognitive impairment can cause falls in older adults.
1. Many older adults take multiple drugs daily and receive treatment from different physicians. As well as they tend to take antipsychotic drugs for depression or other mental illnesses.
a. For instance, many elderlies have hypertension, and sometimes they take both diuretics and antihypertensive medication for it. These combined medications may cause severe hypotension and risk for falls.
b. Many older adults must depend on other people with ADLs, lost their loved ones, lonely, and depressed, so they take antipsychotic drugs to minimize these conditions. Antipsychotic medications might cause drowsiness and risk for falls.
III. Nursing management of falls
A. Management of fall is challenge for nurses, but there are several ways to reduce falls.
1. Encourage fall risk clients to wear slip resistant socks or shoes, reinforce to use call light before getting up, rise and reposition slowly, use walker, stay within arm’s reach, use bed alarm or chair alarm, and answer call lig ...

Infancy to Early Childhood Case AnalysisPart IFor this di
- 1. Infancy to Early Childhood Case Analysis Part I: For this discussion board assignment, you will conduct an interview with a parent who has a child in the early childhood stage of development. In your interview, solicit information to understand the child's development from infancy to early childhood about the area of development assigned to you. --please explore the social needs of the child's development. Social Needs: For social needs, use Erikson's psychosocial theory of development. ALL students should also explore how multi-cultural factors have impacted the area of development you are exploring (i.e., ethnicity, race, gender, socioeconomic status, ableism, religion, sexual orientation and other sub-cultural influences such as military). There are two optional videos in the learning module that will help you think about culture more deeply and generate ideas about possible areas/questions to explore with your interviewee. Quality posts will integrate material from the textbook to support your analysis of the child's development. All material from the textbook should be cited in APA style. Students should define psychological terms and concepts used; assume your audience is not familiar with developmental psychology.
