Since this could cover a vast number of concepts, you decide to illustrate the steps of a basic research process using a real-world example from your text. You may select from any of the “Research in Practice” sections of your textbook for a real-world example. In your discussion, state the steps of the research process and propose a fictitious, yet practical, conclusion. If you cannot come up with a conclusion from your real-world example, you may locate and cite a research conclusion from a published article. Explain how this research conclusion could be used to inform human service practice with regards to the problem formulation you selected.
(2)Intake Process
Often when providing services, basic intake information is required. The researcher could, at the end of a given time period, examine these intake papers and, based on some need, compute descriptive statistics using information provided by the clients / participants. Information such as income, family make up, and education levels could be used to compute mean values. However, you may be asked to configure a study that can be called experimental. In this discussion forum you are asked to compare these two formats and identify in what ways they differ. In order to determine definitions of descriptive research, you will need to access
Introduction to statistics, variables, scares of measurement (Links to an external site.)
,
Excel 2010 statistics 14: Descriptive & inferential statistics (Links to an external site.)
,
Basic research concepts (Links to an external site.)
, and
The Office of Research Integrity (Links to an external site.)
. Your post should focus on differentiating these two research types and then discuss their potential contribution to research in health and human services.
(3)Locating Resources
The ability to locate and utilize information relative to Health and Human Services is an important component of many health and human service jobs. Some of the areas included in HHS programs are:
· Legal/illegal immigration
· Poverty
· Violence in the Media
· Unemployment
· Alcoholism
· Gambling
· Sexual Harassment
· Criminal Justice
· Hunger / Homelessness
· Mental Illness
· Health
As an example, the area of “poverty” was selected from the above list to locate information and relevant reports. To accomplish this, the following was entered into a search engine (such as Google or MSN): “Health and human services and programs dealing with poverty.” One of the 1, 490,000 “hits” was titled: “Poverty Guidelines, Research and Measurement.” Upon searching this website, an elaborate set of focus subtitles was found. Under the heading “Pove.
7. The University of Phoenix Institutional Review Board (IRB.docxluearsome
7.
The University of Phoenix Institutional Review Board (IRB
) exists to ensure university compliance with federal regulations regarding research involving human subjects. This application is used to facilitate and document this compliance review. Research projects which meet the federal definition for research and the federal definition of human subjects must be approved by the University of Phoenix IRB before any data collection begins. If an IRB application is approved by the IRB and, later, the nature of the research design, requirements, or site locations change, a revised application describing these changes must be submitted for reconsideration and approval by the IRB. This application is intended as a stand alone document, so reference to other documents or appendices of dissertation proposals or other research studies does not substitute for direct provision of that information as part of this application, either as a response within a section or as an addendum. This application pertains to both pilot studies and full studies. Please note that it is the researcher’s responsibility to give complete and accurate information about the nature of the proposed study, particularly in terms of the effects on, and expectations for, subject participants. Please note that you must document currency in CITI certification as part of this application.

The Mississippi College IRB and application to the IRB are based on federal guidelines and requirements. Details of these are provided at National Institutes of Health (NIH) and US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) websites and by the training provided by these agencies.
There are three main categories of approval you may receive from the IRB: Exempt Review, Expedited Review, or Full Board Review. The most common category for MC research studies is Expedited Review. Read through the Exempt Review application first to see if you might qualify. Otherwise, proceed to the Expedited Review application and provide the requested information. At the end, you’ll answer some questions that will determine whether you will need to submit your proposal for a Full Board Review. If indicated, you will be directed to check a box for Full Board Review. We’ll use the information you provided in the Expedited Review application above to conduct a Full Board Review.
EXEMPT REVIEW
Exempt Review may be offered to research that does not require initial or continuing review by the IRB. If you feel your research meets the following criteria, complete the following sections and submit your application via email to [email protected]. Otherwise, continue to the Expedited Review section.
Application for Exempt Review
Please complete this form to request an Exempt Review. An Exempt research project may qualify for a Waiver of Informed Consent. Note: Only the IRB may determine which activities qualify for Exempt Review.

RESEARCH ETHICS FAQS FOR DOCTORAL STUDENTS IN THE CLINICALINT.docxronak56
RESEARCH ETHICS FAQS FOR
DOCTORAL STUDENTS IN THE CLINICAL/INTERVENTION FIELDS:
PRACTICAL TIPS FOR AVOIDING DELAYS AND PROBLEMS
IN THE RESEARCH APPROVAL PROCESS
This guide is designed to help students consider the ethical issues relevant to doctoral research occurring in clinical and intervention settings. These tips will be most helpful to students early in the research planning process, when they are considering potential research designs, sites, and samples. In this guide, the term, “intervention” refers to any form of therapeutic program, clinical treatment, psychotherapy, support groups, psychoeducational programs, training, or professional practice designed to promote change or development in individuals.
1. WHAT IS IRB APPROVAL?
All doctoral students are required to obtain ethical approval from the university’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) before recruiting research participants or collecting data. The IRB’s ethical approval can only be given when the researcher demonstrates that potential benefits of the study are likely to outweigh the risks and burdens placed on participants, in accordance with the university's ethical standards as well as U.S. federal regulations.
2. WHEN DOES IRB APPROVAL HAPPEN?
The IRB’s ethical review occurs after the defended proposal has been approved by the full committee. However, research ethics questions may be posed to the IRB at any time by emailing [email protected].
3. WHAT KINDS OF DATA MAY I ANALYZE FROM MY OWN CLIENTS/PATIENTS VIA SECONDARY ANALYSIS?
Service providers may analyze data from their own clients when it is either
(A) Collected anonymously via surveys (such that the provider doesn’t know who volunteered and who declined, and doesn’t know which responses belong to which participant), or
(B) A secondary analysis of data that meets all of the following criteria: (i) generated as a byproduct of normal intervention practices, (ii) no client names/identifiers are recorded in the research documents, and (iii) the IRB determines that the study is eligible for a HIPAA-compliant waiver of authorization to use protected health information for research purposes. This approach is sometimes called chart review, archival analysis, or secondary data analysis. It can also be used to analyze other providers’ records. Secondary data analysis can be approved for the following:
-intake assessments
-ongoing assessments that document progress
-worksheets or journals that primarily serve therapeutic purposes (as opposed to research purposes)
-clinical records
-any other data that is generated as a result of regular intervention activities
While it would not be ethical for a service provider student to leverage his/her authority in the organization to coerce patients/clients into providing data in order to achieve the personal goal of completing a doctoral degree, there are many situations in which it is ethically appropriate for a researcher’s doctoral study to consist of a secondary analysi ...
Checklist for Preparing a Research Proposal A good resear.docxbissacr
Checklist for Preparing a Research Proposal
A good research proposal should impress someone (e.g., a teacher, a faculty committee, an Institutional
Review Board [IRB], or a funding agency) with the project’s worthiness, feasibility, ethical treatment of
participants and the community, and appropriateness of its design. The following items usually, but not
always, appear in a research proposal.
I. A Title- A title captures the theme or thesis of the proposed project in a nutshell.
II. A Statement of the Project’s Problem or Objective - In this section, you should answer questions
such as
1. What exactly will you study?
2. Why is it worth studying?
3. Does the proposed study have practical significance?
III. Literature Review - In general, a good literature review justifies the pro- posed research.
(See Appendix C for a discussion of literature reviews in research reports. Literature
reviews in research proposals should do the same things that literature reviews in
research reports do.) In a literature review, one normally cites references that appear in
the proposal’s ref- erence section (see later) using a style that is appropriate to one’s
disci- pline (e.g., American Sociological Association style for sociology, American
Psychological Association style for psychology and educa- tion). It is often appropriate to
end the literature review with a state- ment of a research question (or research
questions) or of a hypothesis (or hypotheses) that will guide the research.
The literature review normally accomplishes this goal (of justifica- tion) by addressing
some of the following:
1. What have others said about this topic and related topics?
2. What research, if any, has been done previously on the topic?
3. Have other researchers used techniques that can be adapted for the purposes of the
proposed study?
4. References used
5. Statement of research question or hypothesis
IV. Methods- In a methods section, you should answer questions such as:
1. Whom or what will you study to collect data?
2. How will you select your sample?
3. What, if any, ethical considerations are relevant?
4. What method(s) of data collection will you use—a questionnaire, an interview, an
observation, and/or an available data?
You might also, depending on the nature of the study (e.g., whether it is quantitative or
qualitative), want to answer questions such as
1. What are the key variables in your study?
2. How will you define and measure them?
3. Will you be borrowing someone else’s measures or using a modified form of
measures that have been used before?
4. What kind of data analysis, or comparisons, do you intend to do, or make, with the
data you collect?
V. Plan for Sharing Your Findings- In this section, you will want to answer questions like
these:
1. Will you write up your results in the form of a paper (or book) to be shared with
others?
2. What kinds.
This document applies to all students registered as a student at Anglia Ruskin University in the Ashcroft International Business School (AIBS), and all their Partner Institutions, regarding the ethical approval of Undergraduate, Taught Postgraduate Masters Dissertations, Research–based Management Research Reports, and Work-based projects. For those undertaking any research/project work outside the UK you are required to ensure that your research/study/project complies with UK legal and ethical requirements.

analyze certain bodily substances and compare them widi a sample from a suspect.
Forensic science consultant Richard Saferstein tells us that portions of the DNA structure are as unique to each individual as fingerprints. He writes that inside each of the 60 trillion cells in the human body are strands of genetic material called chromosomes. Arranged along the chromosomes, like beads on a thread, are nearly 100,000 genes. Genes are the fundamental unit of heredity. They instruct the body cells to make proteins drat determine everydiing from hair color to susceptibility to diseases. Each gene is actually composed of DNA specifically designed to carry out a single body function. Scientists have determined that DNA is die substance by which genetic instructions are passed from one generation to the next. (Saferstein 353-394)
DNA profiling has helped investigators solve crimes and ensure that diose guilty of crimes are convicted in court. Profiling is the examination of DNA samples from a body substance or fluid to determine whether they came from a particular subject. For example, semen on a rape victim's clothing can be positively or negatively compared with a suspect's semen.

The Topic of the Paper: The Problem and
Solution
for Improving Customer Services for a Restaurant
Purpose/scope - The final paper/project is intended to engage students in a real-world issue pertaining to your respective internship. The paper topic will be determined and agreed to by the intern supervisor and student. The topic should be beneficial to the company and educational to the student. Once the topic is determined, the student is expected to define the research problem (problem statement), collect the necessary data, and report on the findings. The length of the paper is not specified; however, quality is preferred over quantity. It is expected that papers should be at least 10+ pages long. Finally, it is required that the paper/project and findings will be presented to the internship supervisor by the student
The final paper/project format should be double-spaced using 12-point Times New Roman font with 1” margins.Content, writing logic/flow, spelling and grammar will be graded as part of your final grade. The final paper MUST include the bolded section headings as directed and be organized in the following manner:
1. Final Paper Format – Your paper must follow the following format.
a. Cover Page – Title of the paper, course name and number, semester year, student name and identification number and instructor’s name
b. Table of Contents – Prepare a detailed table of contents, which includes the following section below
c. Executive Summary – The executive summary should be a summary of the report in 1-2 pages with the following captions:
i. Parameters of the report – purpose/objective of the study, type of company, etc.
ii. Description of the problem – describe the problem and how your project will be beneficial to the company.
iii. Methodology – describe how you went about solving the problem. What type of survey did you do? How did you collect data?, etc.
iv. Summary of findings and conclusions – summary of the facts you found surrounding the problem or situation being researched and your conclusions based upon those facts.
v. Recommendations – summarize the specific recommendations you are making to the company to solve the problem or respond to the research project.
d. Section I – Introduction/Background – Provide the reader with a description/ background of the topic that is being researched. Give a contextual backdrop to why this is an important issue to be addressed (e.g., What are competitors doing? What is the marketplace currently doing or headed? What happens if this isn’t addressed?).
e. Section II – Statement of the Problem/Research Project – A brief discussion of the specific topic that will be investigated and addressed and why it is important. (e.g., What is the problem? Why is this problem worth my attention? How important, influential, or popular is this problem? Would research findings lead to some useful change in best practice?)
f. Section III – Methodology – A discussion of how you went about approaching.

There are 8 discussions needed in 3 days (72 hours). I added the list of all resources used in this class at the end of the discussions. If anything is needed let me know.
(1)Research Steps and Application
Imagine you are asked to give a half-hour presentation about research in human services. Since this could cover a vast number of concepts, you decide to illustrate the steps of a basic research process using a real-world example from your text. You may select from any of the “Research in Practice” sections of your textbook for a real-world example. In your discussion, state the steps of the research process and propose a fictitious, yet practical, conclusion. If you cannot come up with a conclusion from your real-world example, you may locate and cite a research conclusion from a published article. Explain how this research conclusion could be used to inform human service practice with regards to the problem formulation you selected.
(2)Intake Process
Often when providing services, basic intake information is required. The researcher could, at the end of a given time period, examine these intake papers and, based on some need, compute descriptive statistics using information provided by the clients / participants. Information such as income, family make up, and education levels could be used to compute mean values. However, you may be asked to configure a study that can be called experimental. In this discussion forum you are asked to compare these two formats and identify in what ways they differ. In order to determine definitions of descriptive research, you will need to access
Introduction to statistics, variables, scares of measurement (Links to an external site.)
,
Excel 2010 statistics 14: Descriptive & inferential statistics (Links to an external site.)
,
Basic research concepts (Links to an external site.)
, and
The Office of Research Integrity (Links to an external site.)
. Your post should focus on differentiating these two research types and then discuss their potential contribution to research in health and human services.
(3)Locating Resources
The ability to locate and utilize information relative to Health and Human Services is an important component of many health and human service jobs. Some of the areas included in HHS programs are:
· Legal/illegal immigration
· Poverty
· Violence in the Media
· Unemployment
· Alcoholism
· Gambling
· Sexual Harassment
· Criminal Justice
· Hunger / Homelessness
· Mental Illness
· Health
As an example, the area of “poverty” was selected from the above list to locate information and relevant reports. To accomplish this, the following was entered into a search engine (such as Google or MSN): “Health and human services and programs dealing with poverty.” One of the 1, 490,000 “hits” was titled: “Poverty Guidelines, Research and Measurement.” Upon searching this website, an elaborate set of focus subtitles was found. Under the heading “Pove.

RESEARCH ETHICS FAQS FOR DOCTORAL STUDENTS IN THE CLINICALINT.docxronak56
RESEARCH ETHICS FAQS FOR
DOCTORAL STUDENTS IN THE CLINICAL/INTERVENTION FIELDS:
PRACTICAL TIPS FOR AVOIDING DELAYS AND PROBLEMS
IN THE RESEARCH APPROVAL PROCESS
This guide is designed to help students consider the ethical issues relevant to doctoral research occurring in clinical and intervention settings. These tips will be most helpful to students early in the research planning process, when they are considering potential research designs, sites, and samples. In this guide, the term, “intervention” refers to any form of therapeutic program, clinical treatment, psychotherapy, support groups, psychoeducational programs, training, or professional practice designed to promote change or development in individuals.
1. WHAT IS IRB APPROVAL?
All doctoral students are required to obtain ethical approval from the university’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) before recruiting research participants or collecting data. The IRB’s ethical approval can only be given when the researcher demonstrates that potential benefits of the study are likely to outweigh the risks and burdens placed on participants, in accordance with the university's ethical standards as well as U.S. federal regulations.
2. WHEN DOES IRB APPROVAL HAPPEN?
The IRB’s ethical review occurs after the defended proposal has been approved by the full committee. However, research ethics questions may be posed to the IRB at any time by emailing [email protected].
3. WHAT KINDS OF DATA MAY I ANALYZE FROM MY OWN CLIENTS/PATIENTS VIA SECONDARY ANALYSIS?
Service providers may analyze data from their own clients when it is either
(A) Collected anonymously via surveys (such that the provider doesn’t know who volunteered and who declined, and doesn’t know which responses belong to which participant), or
(B) A secondary analysis of data that meets all of the following criteria: (i) generated as a byproduct of normal intervention practices, (ii) no client names/identifiers are recorded in the research documents, and (iii) the IRB determines that the study is eligible for a HIPAA-compliant waiver of authorization to use protected health information for research purposes. This approach is sometimes called chart review, archival analysis, or secondary data analysis. It can also be used to analyze other providers’ records. Secondary data analysis can be approved for the following:
-intake assessments
-ongoing assessments that document progress
-worksheets or journals that primarily serve therapeutic purposes (as opposed to research purposes)
-clinical records
-any other data that is generated as a result of regular intervention activities
While it would not be ethical for a service provider student to leverage his/her authority in the organization to coerce patients/clients into providing data in order to achieve the personal goal of completing a doctoral degree, there are many situations in which it is ethically appropriate for a researcher’s doctoral study to consist of a secondary analysi ...
Checklist for Preparing a Research Proposal A good resear.docxbissacr
Checklist for Preparing a Research Proposal
A good research proposal should impress someone (e.g., a teacher, a faculty committee, an Institutional
Review Board [IRB], or a funding agency) with the project’s worthiness, feasibility, ethical treatment of
participants and the community, and appropriateness of its design. The following items usually, but not
always, appear in a research proposal.
I. A Title- A title captures the theme or thesis of the proposed project in a nutshell.
II. A Statement of the Project’s Problem or Objective - In this section, you should answer questions
such as
1. What exactly will you study?
2. Why is it worth studying?
3. Does the proposed study have practical significance?
III. Literature Review - In general, a good literature review justifies the pro- posed research.
(See Appendix C for a discussion of literature reviews in research reports. Literature
reviews in research proposals should do the same things that literature reviews in
research reports do.) In a literature review, one normally cites references that appear in
the proposal’s ref- erence section (see later) using a style that is appropriate to one’s
disci- pline (e.g., American Sociological Association style for sociology, American
Psychological Association style for psychology and educa- tion). It is often appropriate to
end the literature review with a state- ment of a research question (or research
questions) or of a hypothesis (or hypotheses) that will guide the research.
The literature review normally accomplishes this goal (of justifica- tion) by addressing
some of the following:
1. What have others said about this topic and related topics?
2. What research, if any, has been done previously on the topic?
3. Have other researchers used techniques that can be adapted for the purposes of the
proposed study?
4. References used
5. Statement of research question or hypothesis
IV. Methods- In a methods section, you should answer questions such as:
1. Whom or what will you study to collect data?
2. How will you select your sample?
3. What, if any, ethical considerations are relevant?
4. What method(s) of data collection will you use—a questionnaire, an interview, an
observation, and/or an available data?
You might also, depending on the nature of the study (e.g., whether it is quantitative or
qualitative), want to answer questions such as
1. What are the key variables in your study?
2. How will you define and measure them?
3. Will you be borrowing someone else’s measures or using a modified form of
measures that have been used before?
4. What kind of data analysis, or comparisons, do you intend to do, or make, with the
data you collect?
V. Plan for Sharing Your Findings- In this section, you will want to answer questions like
these:
1. Will you write up your results in the form of a paper (or book) to be shared with
others?
2. What kinds.
This document applies to all students registered as a student at Anglia Ruskin University in the Ashcroft International Business School (AIBS), and all their Partner Institutions, regarding the ethical approval of Undergraduate, Taught Postgraduate Masters Dissertations, Research–based Management Research Reports, and Work-based projects. For those undertaking any research/project work outside the UK you are required to ensure that your research/study/project complies with UK legal and ethical requirements.

analyze certain bodily substances and compare them widi a sample from a suspect.
Forensic science consultant Richard Saferstein tells us that portions of the DNA structure are as unique to each individual as fingerprints. He writes that inside each of the 60 trillion cells in the human body are strands of genetic material called chromosomes. Arranged along the chromosomes, like beads on a thread, are nearly 100,000 genes. Genes are the fundamental unit of heredity. They instruct the body cells to make proteins drat determine everydiing from hair color to susceptibility to diseases. Each gene is actually composed of DNA specifically designed to carry out a single body function. Scientists have determined that DNA is die substance by which genetic instructions are passed from one generation to the next. (Saferstein 353-394)
DNA profiling has helped investigators solve crimes and ensure that diose guilty of crimes are convicted in court. Profiling is the examination of DNA samples from a body substance or fluid to determine whether they came from a particular subject. For example, semen on a rape victim's clothing can be positively or negatively compared with a suspect's semen.

Gender Inequality in the Workplace: Sexual Harassment against Women
Although many women have been confident enough to report sexual harassment in the workplace, it is still very hard and uncomfortable for other women to stand up and also makes it more surprising how many of these incidences are still taking place every day. Workplace sexual harassment goes for both genders and it’s even harder for men since they are always viewed as the aggressors and superior gender and the mindset of our society shapes a lot of what we perceive is okay and normal behavior towards each other.
One interesting experience I heard of recently was involving a female service member and her superiors. This female works in an office with about four other males who are very aware about her feelings towards the behavior of her superior who happens to work outside of that specific office. The superior officer comes in everyday to check up on their work, make small talk with the guys and also has a habit of always rubbing her shoulders when he walks over to her desk. She explains that the first time it happened she thought it was odd being that she doesn’t have that type of relationship with him and gave him a pass, but then it became a an everyday thing. She tried tactics such as getting up from her desk, walking away from him and even voiced to the other males how uncomfortable it made her; they thought it was funny. They too had a complaint about him on making them feel uncomfortable: he had a habit of grabbing and scratching his private parts; but accepted it as a guy thing and would be viewed in a negative way if they reported. Her reason for not reporting was because she was afraid to get him in trouble, he had a family and wouldn’t dare to jeopardize his career, or even worse be criticized for making a big deal out of nothing after all its just a shoulder rub.
Required Elements:
· Describe the situation in detail; already mentioned above;
· Analyze the differences in communication, problem-solving, and leadership between the men and the women in the situation;
· Did any stereotypical notions seem to influence the behaviors of the women and the men involved in the situation? If so, explain what were they? If not, indicate so.
· Identify challenges related to gender in the situation described.
· Identify best practices that address the challenges identified.
· Devise three to five action plans that could be implemented to strengthen the behaviors of men and women in the workplace. Action plans can be implements by HR, a management or manager, CEO, or employee. Make sure to provide ideas as to why the action plan is necessary or would be useful in the workplace.

“When you’re a Spy, your job title can be anything, from Manager to Waiter, even criminal. The reason for the multitude of names? As a Spy, your job is to gather information from a range of sources, and you need to do it in any way you can. That includes putting on a disguise.
There are a few different paths that you can take to get into this career, and you can focus on a range of specialties, from technical to languages. The title “Spy” isn’t really used anymore. Instead, you’re now called a Covert Investigator or, more broadly, a CIA Agent. Whatever the title, it means you investigate and protect US interests abroad.
You investigate things like terrorism, fraud, corrupt governments, and a wide variety of other crimes. Your job is to keep Policymakers and the President of the United States aware and informed on the happenings around the world.
You can find the information you need in a lot of different ways. You might get to go undercover and pretend to be a different person, but for the most part, your job is much more routine. You carry out interviews with informants and allied Agents, analyze data, and read through research. You look for possible international problems, such as civil unrest, war, famine—anything that can cause problems for the United States.
This job involves a lot of collaboration and communication. You work with other Agents, international police forces, or informants. The informants you work with are usually average people, so the ability to speak their language is a big plus.”.

Introduction
Electrical Power transmission towers are used to support a transmission line's phase conductors and shield wires for the transmission of voltages in excess of 345kV or less than that depending on the kind of structure and material used and the transmission requirement. The transmission tower structures can broadly be categorized into lattice types or the pole types. Whereas pole types can be made of wood, concrete or steel and used for lower voltage transmission, the lattice types are usually made of sections of steel angles and are used for higher voltages transmission. Also each transmission structure can be self supporting or it can be guyed. Another factor that affects design choice is the nature of prevalent climatic loads around the area of installation of transmission towers. Depending on the design loads, the configuration can vary largely between horizontal configuration, vertical or delta configuration and again accessibility and right of way issues will also have to be considered. Some relevant standards and codes will have to be followed in the design of transmission towers such as National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), ASCE loading code, OSHA operational safety codes, etc.
From the brief background given the main point is that in recent times some new tower designs that are both aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound have been required for the overhead transmission of power and this is what this project attempts to design.
Aim
The aim of the project is to investigate existing tower design literature and finally apply analyze and design a novel both aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound tower.
Loads on transmission towers
Before designing transmission tower structures state laws, rules and regulation will require that design follows standard codes in order to meet minimum for loading for acceptable level of safety. Relevant loading guidelines for electrical transmission line structural loading will have to be strictly followed to ens.

Question:
On August 31, 2010, Chickasaw Industries issued $25 million of its 30-year, 6% convertible bonds dated August 31, priced to yield 5%. The bonds are convertible at the option of the investors into 1,500,000 shares of Chickasaw's common stock. Chickasaw records interest expense at the effective rate. On August 31, 2013, investors in Chickasaw's convertible bonds tendered 20% of the bonds for conversion into common stock that had a market value of $20 per share on the date of the conversion. On January 1, 2012, Chickasaw Industries issued $40 million of its 20-year, 7% bonds dated January 1 at a price to yield 8%. On December 31, 2013, the bonds were extinguished early through acquisition in the open market by Chickasaw for $40.5 million.
Required:
1.
Using the book value method, would recording the conversion of the 6% convertible bonds into common stock affect earnings? If so, by how much? Would earnings be affected if the market value method is used? If so, by how much?
2.
Were the 7% bonds issued at face value, at a discount, or at a premium? Explain.
3.
Would the amount of interest expense for the 7% bonds be higher in the first year or second year of the term to maturity? Explain.
4.
How should gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt be determined? Does the early extinguishment of the 7% bonds result in a gain or loss? Explain.

Final Lab Report
You are required to write a complete laboratory report that covers all three experiments for "Lab 2: Water Quality and Contamination," using knowledge gained throughout the course. To begin, download the Final Lab Report Template and utilize this form to ensure proper formatting and inclusion of all required material. Additionally, view the Sample Final Lab Report before beginning this assignment, which will illustrate what a Final Lab Report should look like. You must use at least four scholarly sources and your lab manual to support your points. The report must be six to ten pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. For information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, located within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.
The Final Lab Report must contain the following eight sections in this order:
1. Title Page – This page must include the title of your report, your name, course name, instructor, and date submitted.
2. Abstract – This section should provide a brief summary of the methods, results, and conclusions. It should allow the reader to see what was done, how it was done, and the results. It should not exceed 200 words and should be the last part written (although it should still appear right after the title page).
3. Introduction – This section should include background information on water quality and an overview of why the experiment was conducted. It should first contain background information of similar studies previously conducted. This is accomplished by citing existing literature from similar experiments. Secondly, it should provide an objective or a reason why the experiment is being done. Why do we want to know the answer to the question we are asking? Finally, it should end with all three hypotheses from your Week Two experiments. These hypotheses should not be adjusted to reflect the “right” answer. Simply place your previous hypotheses in the report here. You do not lose points for an inaccurate hypothesis; scientists often revise their hypotheses based on scientific evidence following the experiments.
4. Materials and Methods – This section should provide a detailed description of the materials used in your experiment and how they were used. A step-by-step rundown of your experiment is necessary; however, it should be done in paragraph form, not in a list format. The description should be exact enough to allow for someone reading the report to replicate the experiment, however, it should be in your own words and not simply copied and pasted from the lab manual.
5. Results – This section should include the data and observations from the experiment. All tables and graphs should be present in this section. In addition to the tables, you must describe the data in text; however, there should be no personal opinions or discussion outside of the results located within t.

Three types of Unemployment
Unemployment is divided into three categories by economist: frictional, structural, and cyclical. Frictional unemployment is unemployment due to constant changes in the economy that prevent qualified unemployed workers from being immediately matched up with existing job openings (Gwartney et al.) Structural unemployment is unemployment due to structural characteristics of the economy that make it difficult for job seekers to find employment to hire workers (Gwartney et al.) Cyclical unemployment is unemployment due to recessionary business conditions and inadequate labor demand (Gwartney et al.)
“Frictional unemployment is not as harmful to an economy as other types of unemployment, such as cyclical and structural unemployment. That's because a rise in frictional unemployment is simply an increase of workers moving toward better positions (Amadeo).”
Frictional unemployment comes from imperfect information. An example would be most businesses now when they are in the hiring process they will do a bunch of interviews and spend money trying to find the best person for that job. The people who are looking for jobs are constantly looking on the internet, the newspaper, local bulletin boards, and social media for the right job that fits them. In the county I live with I see a lot of structural unemployment. People that do have job openings require education; the ones who are unemployed have no education so they aren’t qualified. A lot of office jobs require you to have computer knowledge. Around my home town, there is very little education especially when it comes to technology. The last type of unemployment we see happening today all around the world. Businesses are cutting back and laying employees off. Where I currently work, when someone leaves, they aren’t filling the positions. We have to do more work with fewer employees.
I have a friend who lost her job and I try to encourage her to never give up and keep her faith. Philippians 4:5 states, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God.” That is a good scripture for everyone who is unemployed to keep in mind. Times can be tough when you are looking for a job, but the Bible tells us to never give up, and pray about it.

You can use fg command to make it run in foreground. If more than one job is suspended, you can use fg %n where n is the number is the sequence of the process to make that process come in foreground.
$ fg %1
Now you will see vi editor again.
3. How to make it run in background ? (Only stopped jobs)
You can use bg command to make it run in background. If more than one job is suspended, you can use bg %n where n is the number is the sequence of the process to make that process come in background.
Let us suspend this job one more time.
$ vi filename
CTRL-Z
filename[New file]
[1] + Stopped vi filename
$
Let us run in background .
$ bg %1
4. Another way to suspend a job by using kill command.
Run vi in this session.
Open another connection through telnet. Now you have two sessions.
Type ps command to see what processes are running.
$ ps
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
5226 q7 S 0:01 -ksh (ksh) - This is new shell
6314 q7 R 0:00 ps
5487 ub S 0:00 -ksh (ksh) - This is previous shell
6312 ub S 0:00 vi filename - vi is running in previous session.
Now send a STOP signal to the process. kill -l will give you a lo\ist of signals.

InstructionsFor this assignment, collect data exhibiting a relat.docxdirkrplav
Instructions
For this assignment, collect data exhibiting a relatively linear trend, find the line of best fit, plot the data and the line, interpret the slope, and use the linear equation to make a prediction. Also, find r2 (coefficient of determination) and r (correlation coefficient). Discuss your findings. Your topic may be that is related to sports, your work, a hobby, or something you find interesting. If you choose, you may use the suggestions described below.
A Linear Model Example and Technology Tips are provided in separate documents.
Tasks for Linear Regression Model (LR)
(LR-1) Describe your topic, provide your data, and cite your source. Collect at least 8 data points. Label appropriately. (Highly recommended: Post this information in the Linear Model Project discussion as well as in your completed project. Include a brief informative description in the title of your posting. Each student must use different data.)
The idea with the discussion posting is two-fold: (1) To share your interesting project idea with your classmates, and (2) To give me a chance to give you a brief thumbs-up or thumbs-down about your proposed topic and data. Sometimes students get off on the wrong foot or misunderstand the intent of the project, and your posting provides an opportunity for some feedback. Remark: Students may choose similar topics, but must have different data sets. For example, several students may be interested in a particular Olympic sport, and that is fine, but they must collect different data, perhaps from different events or different gender.
(LR-2) Plot the points (x, y) to obtain a scatterplot. Use an appropriate scale on the horizontal and vertical axes and be sure to label carefully. Visually judge whether the data points exhibit a relatively linear trend. (If so, proceed. If not, try a different topic or data set.)
(LR-3) Find the line of best fit (regression line) and graph it on the scatterplot. State the equation of the line.
(LR-4) State the slope of the line of best fit. Carefully interpret the meaning of the slope in a sentence or two.
(LR-5) Find and state the value of r2, the coefficient of determination, and r, the correlation coefficient. Discuss your findings in a few sentences. Is r positive or negative? Why? Is a line a good curve to fit to this data? Why or why not? Is the linear relationship very strong, moderately strong, weak, or nonexistent?
(LR-6) Choose a value of interest and use the line of best fit to make an estimate or prediction. Show calculation work.
(LR-7) Write a brief narrative of a paragraph or two. Summarize your findings and be sure to mention any aspect of the linear model project (topic, data, scatterplot, line, r, or estimate, etc.) that you found particularly important or interesting.
Scatterplots, Linear Regression, and Correlation [Section 1.4, starting on page 114 in the textbook]
When we have a set of data, often we would like to develop a model that fits the data.

InstructionsFor this week’s assignment, you will synthesize the .docxdirkrplav
Instructions
For this week’s assignment, you will synthesize the most relevant information in the situation below, and present a solution in your own words, using your own analysis. You will not use all of the information included in the scenario. Remember it is not appropriate to cut and paste entire sections from the situation to substitute for your own analysis.
The objective of the assignment is to organize your message in a way that will be most effective in persuading the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to take action.
Situation: Convincing the CEO to Approve a Public Relations Plan
You are the director of public relations for Easy to Be Green, the innovative new company that helps homeowners, businesses, and municipalities become more environmentally friendly. The company has been active in environmental issues in the community since its founding a few years ago and generally has good community relations. Recently EBG’s director of research, who is strongly opinionated about environmental issues, spoke in public about the environmental practices of some local companies who employ many people in the community. Lately, you’ve found that some of your local contacts seem a little less interested in EBG’s public relations initiatives, and there has even been a small drop in sales. There may be no connections between these events, but you want to be proactive about the company’s community relations.
You also want to protect the company against charges of hypocrisy. The other day you as walked through the parking lot, it occurred to you that the majority of the employees drive SUVs, pick-ups, and other kinds of gas guzzlers. This includes the CEO, whose family car is a luxury sedan. The company’s delivery and service vans are also not the most environmentally-friendly vehicles.
After a little research, you come up with a tentative plan. You have learned that a local hybrid car dealership has been offering an interesting deal. Employees of companies that buy hybrids as company vehicles can get discounts when they buy hybrids for themselves. You think that the company should consider purchasing a couple of hybrid vans and encourage employees to buy hybrids for themselves by offering substantial rebates for these purchases. You want to get the CEO’s approval before you pursue this idea any further. You anticipate that he will have significant resistance. The company vehicles are not due for replacement, and the rebates to employees could add up to quite a lot if many employees take up the offer. On the other hand, if only a few employees take up the offer, a significant environmental initiative will seem like a failure. The CEO is a risk-taker in terms of business initiatives but tends to be conservative in management practices. He might also be a little defensive about the hybrid promotion plan because of his own vehicle choices.
You feel strongly that the potential benefits of this plan—in long-term savings on gas, in goo.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1Experimental Designs WorksheetFill in the Blank
Using the terms listed below, complete the following:
1. ___________ group receives treatment in an experimental
design.
2. ___________ group does not receive treatment in an
experimental design.
3. A ___________ design has many observations on a single
case or a few subjects.
4. When separate groups of subjects receive different levels of
the independent variable, this is referred to as _____________
design.
5. When all subjects receive all levels of the independent
variable, this is referred to as ____________ design.
6. When the researcher measures a behavior that needs to be
changed and then applies therapy and measures the behavior
again, this is referred to as _____________ design.
7. When the researcher measures a behavior that needs to be
changed, applies therapy and measures the behavior again, and
then removes the treatment and measures the behavior again,
this is referred to as ______________ design.
8. When the criterion outcome changes over time this is referred
to as _______________ design.
9. When measuring several behaviors or several people with
baseline periods of varying lengths and an independent variable
occurs, this is referred to as a ______________ design.
20. 10. When subjects are not randomly assigned and not all
variables are under the control of the presenter, this is referred
to as ______________ design.

Matching
Read the following scenarios and match each scenario with the
correct type of experimental design.
1. _____ Two classes of children are studied regarding the
effects of a new teaching method in science. One group
received the new method of instruction, while the other group
uses the standard, traditional method of instruction. Both
classes are measures for achievement before and after the
teaching methods.
2. _____ Divide your subjects in half. One group receives one
treatment of the independent variable and the other group
21. receives a different treatment of the independent variable.
Subjects were all told they were going to see a video of a
therapist's session after which they would rate the quality of the
session. The groups differed in that the subjects in one group
were told that prior evaluations indicated that the therapist was
effective whereas subjects in the other group were told that the
evaluations indicated the therapist was not effective. These
different subjects were used for the two levels of the
independent variable: subjects were in either the "effective
therapist" or the "ineffective therapist" condition.
3. _____ All subjects perform at all levels of the independent
variable. Subjects diagnosed as having attention deficit
disorder were each tested on a concentration task after receiving
medication. All subjects were tested four times, once after
receiving one of the four doses. Each subject was tested under
each of the four levels of the independent variable-dose of
medication.
4. _____ A small group is measured for the amount of anxiety
they experience in math class (baseline). They are taught a
relaxation method and measured again to measure anxiety in
math class.
5. _____ To study verbal commands in canines, during week 1
the baseline is recorded for how many times a dog chased a cat.
During week 2, dog was verbally scolded (treatment) when the
dog chased the cat, and the chasing behavior was recorded.
During week 3, the chasing behavior was recorded without the
verbal scolding (treatment).
