Enterprise Architecture Enables Processes Paper
Purpose of this Assignment
This assignment gives you the opportunity to apply your critical thinking skills and understanding of the course concepts to explain how the enterprise architecture (EA) and/or the EA program supports the other IT management processes of an organization. This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcomes:
· describe enterprise architecture (EA), the appropriate application of EA frameworks, and an overall ongoing EA program
· analyze and examine how enterprise architecture and enterprise systems influence, support, and enable an organization's ability to contribute to strategic decision making and to respond and adapt to the business environment
· apply EA concepts to support business requirements and identify opportunities for enterprise solutions
Assignment
As you have learned throughout the course, EAs can be used to support a wide variety of information technology management processes, and an EA program strengthens IT management activities. A well-defined and implemented EA contributes significantly to each of the phases of the systems development life cycle (SDLC). For this assignment you will write a 3-5 page paper (not counting any cover sheet or reference pages) that explains briefly what enterprise architecture (EA) is and then how it supplements and enables each of the phases of the SDLC:
· initiation/planning/concept phase
· requirements analysis phase
· design phase
· development phase
· integration and testing phase
· implementation/deployment/support/maintenance phase
You should explain how EA enables each phase, how it fits into each phase, and what unique qualities or capabilities a well-defined EA contributes that might not otherwise be available to the organization.
The use of at least two external scholarly resources (other than class materials) is required. (NOTE: More than two external resources are required to receive all possible points; see Grading Rubric below.) You should use scholarly journals (rather than Wikipedia and author-less website postings). Remember to correctly cite and reference all sources using APA format.

This activity serves as a final assessment for the course. It provides you the opportunity to demonstrate how well you have achieved the learning outcomes of the course. You are to provide your knowledge of the strategic and administrative function of Human Resources by thinking about the situation of Southwest Airlines recent merger and their expansion.
Deliverable:
Read and reflect on the case study below and prepare a response paper of not less than five pages (excluding title and reference pages) with appropriate in text citations. Demonstrate your research and analytical skills in developing your comprehensive paper by using the organizations website and outside articles written about the organization to supplement the information provided in the case study. However, the case study is unique in that it is focused on the HR ramifications and most of the outside reports you will locate articulate the business side of the merger or expansion possibilities. Tailor your paper to the HR ramifications of the merger and expansion.
Keep in mind that the purpose of this final assessment is for you to demonstrate your knowledge of the strategic and administrative function of Human Resources. While the business side of the situation is the foundation, it is the command of the needed tasks and role for the Human Resource function that you are to focus most of your attention.

1. Title page
2. Introduction in which you restate the issue(s) and state the purpose of the paper
3. SWOT analysis from the HR perspective
4. Recommendations to address the issues. Scholarly research is expected to support the recommendations.
Examples of issues that may want to be elaborated upon may be possible redundant positions, maintaining the culture of both organizations (or not), combining compensation and benefits plans and union involvement (just to name some).
5. There are many tasks for recruiting and hiring for the expansion (in various global locations). Think about and list what those tasks are.
6. Provide the metrics for evaluating the outcomes of the expansion of the organization (again, from an HR perspective).

Enterprise Architecture Enables Processes Paper
Purpose of this Assignment
This assignment gives you the opportunity to apply your critical thinking skills and understanding of the course concepts to explain how the enterprise architecture (EA) and/or the EA program supports the other IT management processes of an organization. This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcomes:
· describe enterprise architecture (EA), the appropriate application of EA frameworks, and an overall ongoing EA program
· analyze and examine how enterprise architecture and enterprise systems influence, support, and enable an organization's ability to contribute to strategic decision making and to respond and adapt to the business environment
· apply EA concepts to support business requirements and identify opportunities for enterprise solutions
Assignment
As you have learned throughout the course, EAs can be used to support a wide variety of information technology management processes, and an EA program strengthens IT management activities. A well-defined and implemented EA contributes significantly to each of the phases of the systems development life cycle (SDLC). For this assignment you will write a 3-5 page paper (not counting any cover sheet or reference pages) that explains briefly what enterprise architecture (EA) is and then how it supplements and enables each of the phases of the SDLC:
· initiation/planning/concept phase
· requirements analysis phase
· design phase
· development phase
· integration and testing phase
· implementation/deployment/support/maintenance phase
You should explain how EA enables each phase, how it fits into each phase, and what unique qualities or capabilities a well-defined EA contributes that might not otherwise be available to the organization.
The use of at least two external scholarly resources (other than class materials) is required. (NOTE: More than two external resources are required to receive all possible points; see Grading Rubric below.) You should use scholarly journals (rather than Wikipedia and author-less website postings). Remember to correctly cite and reference all sources using APA format.

Develop a 5–10-year strategic plan for achieving specific health.docxbradburgess22840
Develop a 5–10-year strategic plan for achieving specific health care quality and safety improvements, based on the analysis you completed in Assessment 1. Use either an AI approach or your SWOT analysis and a chosen strategic planning model.

Evaluation of strategic choices is important. The methods for selecting strategic alternatives help leaders organize significant issues to support decision making. However, it is important that the techniques do not make the decision. Rather, leaders should use the techniques to reveal the inherent situation and to organize their thought processes. This assessment provides you with an opportunity to evaluate and apply some of the techniques for successful strategy development and implementation.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Evaluate qualities and skills that promote effective leadership within health care organizations.
Evaluate the leadership qualities and skills that will be most important to successfully implementing a strategic plan and sustaining strategic direction.
Competency 2: Apply strategies to lead high-performing health care teams to meet organizational quality and safety goals.
Develop strategic goal statements and outcomes that support the achievement of specific quality and safety improvements for a care setting.
Justify the relevance of proposed strategic goals and outcomes in relation to the mission, vision, and values of a care setting.
Competency 3: Apply cultural, ethical, and regulatory considerations to leadership decision making.
Analyze the extent to which strategic goals and outcomes address the use of technology and the ethical, cultural, and regulatory environments.
Competency 4: Integrate leadership and health care theories into the role of the nurse leader.
Explain how relevant leadership and health care theories will be used to help achieve proposed strategic goals and objectives.
Competency 5: Communicate with stakeholders and constituencies to build collaborative partnerships and create inclusive work environments.
Communicate analyses clearly and in a way that demonstrates professionalism and respect for stakeholders and colleagues.
Integrate relevant and credible sources of evidence to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.
Suggested Resources
The resources provided here are optional. You may use other resources of your choice to prepare for this assessment; however, you will need to ensure that they are appropriate, credible, and valid. The

BUSM 4194 Leading for Change
Semester 1, 2014
Assessment Task 1: Leadership Development Report
Writing instructions and Marking Rubric
This assessment task is a REPORT.
The RMIT College of Business requires you to use a particular style of writing which involves both the way the report is structured and the way that you acknowledge other people’s ideas used in your work.
The structuring of a report is very clearly described in the RMIT Study and Learning Centre Report Writing Skills Online Tutorial available on the BUSM4194 course Blackboard site
Your first step in preparing for this assessment task should be to complete this tutorial.
Investing time before you start writing will result in a better report.
Your second step should be mastering the art of referencing. There are many styles of referencing in use in different disciplines and geographical locations. You are required to use the RMIT Business Referencing System. This is available to you via the Library website, in your course site on myRMIT and is uploaded to the assessments folder in the BUSM 4194 course site. This is a 50 page document but reading it through will be enormously helpful for you in this and future assessment tasks.
Make sure that you can clearly distinguish the difference between an essay (page 28 of the document) and a report (page 36).
Remember: this current assessment task is a REPORT not an ESSAY.
The critical thinking element
We want you to be very comfortable with questioning everything you read and hear.
Anyone can remember facts and state other people’s views but a far more useful skill is to critically review what you read and hear and decide for yourself how reliable, accurate, applicable, contemporary, objective and fair it is.
In this report, your assessor will value the fact that you are able to see both benefits and deficiencies in a particular theory. Make sure you look through the critical thinking exercises in the course site to get a clear understanding of critical thinking!
How many references should I cite?
There is no right answer to this question because it all depends on what you write in your report. Some statements you make in your report will certainly need a reference to support them.
So, to determine how many references you need to cite, first (as described in the report writing tutorial) draw a mind map of ideas to go into your report and for each idea try to link it to a reference source.
How will the report be marked?
Your lecturers have already created a marking rubric that will be used to award you a mark out of 50 as the report comprises 50 of the overall 100 marks available in this course.
The rubric is reproduced over the page and will be used as a way of providing feedback to you on how you performed.
The most important thing about the rubric is that it DEFINES what you will be marked on. If you include additional material that is not mentioned in the rubric it will not attract any marks, if you forget to w ...

Learning Outcomes:Identify agents and vectors involved in the spread of infectious diseasesDescribe the process of infection, and the role of the body’s immune systemDiscuss prevention and treatments for colds and influenzaName and describe common infectious diseasesEvaluate your personal infectious disease risk factors, and strategies to decrease risk
Infectious Diseases
Infection is triggered by a pathogen (disease-causing organism) that is transmitted to the host (person or population) by a vector (biological or physical vehicle)
Types of microbes that can cause infection are:
Viruses Fungi
Bacteria Protozoa
Helminths (Parasitic Worms)
Agents of Infection: VirusesThe most common viruses are as follows:Rhinoviruses and Adenoviruses: which get into the mucous membranes and cause upper respiratory tract infections and coldsInfluenza viruses: can change their outer protein coats so dramatically that individuals resistant to one strain cannot fight off a new oneHerpes viruses: take up permanent residence in the cells and periodically flare upPapillomaviruses: may be responsible for a rise in the incidence of cervical cancer among younger womenHepatitis viruses: cause several forms of liver infection, ranging from mild to life threateningSlow viruses: give no early indication of their presence but can produce fatal illnesses within a few years
Agents of Infection: Viruses cont’dRetroviruses: named for their backward (retro) sequence of genetic replication compared to other viruses. One retrovirus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)
Filoviruses: resemble threads and extremely lethal
Coronavirus 2019-COVID-19CDC is responding to a pandemic of respiratory disease spreading from person-to-person caused by a novel (new) coronavirus. The disease has been named “coronavirus disease 2019” (abbreviated “COVID-19”)
COVID-19 is caused by a coronavirus. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in people and many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats, and bats. Reported illnesses have ranged from very mild (including some with no reported symptoms) to severe, including illness resulting in death. Older people and people of all ages with severe chronic medical conditions — like heart disease, lung disease and diabetes, for example — seem to be at higher risk of developing serious COVID-19 illness
Agents of InfectionBacteria: are the most plentiful microorganisms as well as the most pathogenic. Bacteria harm the body by releasing either enzymes that digest body cells or toxins that produce the specific effects of diseases such as diphtheria or toxic shock syndromeFungi: consist of threadlike fibers and reproductive spores. Fungi lack chlorophyll and must obtain their food from organic material, which may include human tissueProtozoa: single-celled, microscopic animals release enzymes.

Enterprise Architecture Enables Processes Paper
Purpose of this Assignment
This assignment gives you the opportunity to apply your critical thinking skills and understanding of the course concepts to explain how the enterprise architecture (EA) and/or the EA program supports the other IT management processes of an organization. This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcomes:
· describe enterprise architecture (EA), the appropriate application of EA frameworks, and an overall ongoing EA program
· analyze and examine how enterprise architecture and enterprise systems influence, support, and enable an organization's ability to contribute to strategic decision making and to respond and adapt to the business environment
· apply EA concepts to support business requirements and identify opportunities for enterprise solutions
Assignment
As you have learned throughout the course, EAs can be used to support a wide variety of information technology management processes, and an EA program strengthens IT management activities. A well-defined and implemented EA contributes significantly to each of the phases of the systems development life cycle (SDLC). For this assignment you will write a 3-5 page paper (not counting any cover sheet or reference pages) that explains briefly what enterprise architecture (EA) is and then how it supplements and enables each of the phases of the SDLC:
· initiation/planning/concept phase
· requirements analysis phase
· design phase
· development phase
· integration and testing phase
· implementation/deployment/support/maintenance phase
You should explain how EA enables each phase, how it fits into each phase, and what unique qualities or capabilities a well-defined EA contributes that might not otherwise be available to the organization.
The use of at least two external scholarly resources (other than class materials) is required. (NOTE: More than two external resources are required to receive all possible points; see Grading Rubric below.) You should use scholarly journals (rather than Wikipedia and author-less website postings). If you need assistance with determining what a scholarly journal is, the UMUC library is a very good source of information, accessed via the following link: http://www.umuc.edu/library/libhow/articles.cfm. Remember to correctly cite and reference all sources using APA format.

Develop a 5–10-year strategic plan for achieving specific health.docxbradburgess22840
Develop a 5–10-year strategic plan for achieving specific health care quality and safety improvements, based on the analysis you completed in Assessment 1. Use either an AI approach or your SWOT analysis and a chosen strategic planning model.
Note:
Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

Evaluation of strategic choices is important. The methods for selecting strategic alternatives help leaders organize significant issues to support decision making. However, it is important that the techniques do not make the decision. Rather, leaders should use the techniques to reveal the inherent situation and to organize their thought processes.

BUSM 4194 Leading for Change
Semester 1, 2014
Assessment Task 1: Leadership Development Report
Writing instructions and Marking Rubric
This assessment task is a REPORT.
The RMIT College of Business requires you to use a particular style of writing which involves both the way the report is structured and the way that you acknowledge other people’s ideas used in your work.
The structuring of a report is very clearly described in the RMIT Study and Learning Centre Report Writing Skills Online Tutorial available on the BUSM4194 course Blackboard site
Your first step in preparing for this assessment task should be to complete this tutorial.
Investing time before you start writing will result in a better report.
Your second step should be mastering the art of referencing. There are many styles of referencing in use in different disciplines and geographical locations. You are required to use the RMIT Business Referencing System. This is available to you via the Library website, in your course site on myRMIT and is uploaded to the assessments folder in the BUSM 4194 course site. This is a 50 page document but reading it through will be enormously helpful for you in this and future assessment tasks.
Make sure that you can clearly distinguish the difference between an essay (page 28 of the document) and a report (page 36).
Remember: this current assessment task is a REPORT not an ESSAY.
The critical thinking element
We want you to be very comfortable with questioning everything you read and hear.
Anyone can remember facts and state other people’s views but a far more useful skill is to critically review what you read and hear and decide for yourself how reliable, accurate, applicable, contemporary, objective and fair it is.
In this report, your assessor will value the fact that you are able to see both benefits and deficiencies in a particular theory. Make sure you look through the critical thinking exercises in the course site to get a clear understanding of critical thinking!
How many references should I cite?
There is no right answer to this question because it all depends on what you write in your report. Some statements you make in your report will certainly need a reference to support them.
So, to determine how many references you need to cite, first (as described in the report writing tutorial) draw a mind map of ideas to go into your report and for each idea try to link it to a reference source.
How will the report be marked?
Your lecturers have already created a marking rubric that will be used to award you a mark out of 50 as the report comprises 50 of the overall 100 marks available in this course.
The rubric is reproduced over the page and will be used as a way of providing feedback to you on how you performed.
The most important thing about the rubric is that it DEFINES what you will be marked on. If you include additional material that is not mentioned in the rubric it will not attract any marks, if you forget to w ...

Learning Outcomes:Identify agents and vectors involved in the spread of infectious diseasesDescribe the process of infection, and the role of the body’s immune systemDiscuss prevention and treatments for colds and influenzaName and describe common infectious diseasesEvaluate your personal infectious disease risk factors, and strategies to decrease risk
Infectious Diseases
Infection is triggered by a pathogen (disease-causing organism) that is transmitted to the host (person or population) by a vector (biological or physical vehicle)
Types of microbes that can cause infection are:
Viruses Fungi
Bacteria Protozoa
Helminths (Parasitic Worms)
Agents of Infection: VirusesThe most common viruses are as follows:Rhinoviruses and Adenoviruses: which get into the mucous membranes and cause upper respiratory tract infections and coldsInfluenza viruses: can change their outer protein coats so dramatically that individuals resistant to one strain cannot fight off a new oneHerpes viruses: take up permanent residence in the cells and periodically flare upPapillomaviruses: may be responsible for a rise in the incidence of cervical cancer among younger womenHepatitis viruses: cause several forms of liver infection, ranging from mild to life threateningSlow viruses: give no early indication of their presence but can produce fatal illnesses within a few years
Agents of Infection: Viruses cont’dRetroviruses: named for their backward (retro) sequence of genetic replication compared to other viruses. One retrovirus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)
Filoviruses: resemble threads and extremely lethal
Coronavirus 2019-COVID-19CDC is responding to a pandemic of respiratory disease spreading from person-to-person caused by a novel (new) coronavirus. The disease has been named “coronavirus disease 2019” (abbreviated “COVID-19”)
COVID-19 is caused by a coronavirus. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in people and many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats, and bats. Reported illnesses have ranged from very mild (including some with no reported symptoms) to severe, including illness resulting in death. Older people and people of all ages with severe chronic medical conditions — like heart disease, lung disease and diabetes, for example — seem to be at higher risk of developing serious COVID-19 illness
Agents of InfectionBacteria: are the most plentiful microorganisms as well as the most pathogenic. Bacteria harm the body by releasing either enzymes that digest body cells or toxins that produce the specific effects of diseases such as diphtheria or toxic shock syndromeFungi: consist of threadlike fibers and reproductive spores. Fungi lack chlorophyll and must obtain their food from organic material, which may include human tissueProtozoa: single-celled, microscopic animals release enzymes.

1. Although beauty is in the eye of the beholder, certain criteria should be looked at or met to consider something art. The same applies to calling someone an artist. Getlein first discusses that artists create places that fulfill a purpose for humans. Examples of this include Stonehenge and the Vietnam Memorial. Artists also exaggerate or give new perspective on ordinary objects to make them seem extraordinary. Another thing artists accomplish is using their art to record history. Their art could remind people of a different time or era in human history. For example, a painting for an ancient Chinese dynasty gives us insight into that era. Artists give form to things that cannot be seen or understood. This mostly includes statues, paintings, etc. of various deities. This same idea can also be applied when artists give form to feelings or ideas. This is shown in Van Gogh's famous painting called The Starry Night. Lastly, artists can give us a new or refreshing perspective on the world.
An artist or their art must meet one of these criteria to be considered art. These six criteria show how influential and important art has been to human culture and society for a very long time. Art gives us glimpses into times that are long gone and clues to a different culture.
Make a 150 word response to the following. Incorporate what is said in 2. In your response. What factors make a work of art valuable in different ways to different people? Use texbook: Getlein, Mark. Living with Art, 9th Ed., New York: McGraw-Hill, 2010. Chapters 1-5
2. Unity is when pieces come together in art to form a cohesive whole. Variety is the difference in these pieces to be more interesting. An example of these concepts is figure 3.8 on page 56. Guernica by Pablo Picasso is a painting of disfigured animals and people that seem chaotic. Different images can be seen throughout the painting. Unity is shown because all the individual objects and people come together to give you a large picture. Variety is also shown because many of the animals like the horse are disfigured and almost cartoonish. I chose this work because looking at the individual pieces of the picture seem strange but they come together to show some kind of conflict.
Symmetrical balance is when the center of gravity in a piece of art is vertical. The two sides of the art must also correspond to each other. An example of this is figure 3.1 on page 51. A picture of interior upper chapel of the Sainte-Chappelle in Paris is shown. This artwork in the chapel shows symmetrical balance because there is an implied line down the middle of the design where a door is and both sides mirror each other perfectly. Asymmetrical balance is when two sides of the art do not correspond w.

Major Paper #1--The Point of View EssayWe will be working on this .docxcarliotwaycave
Major Paper #1--The Point of View Essay
We will be working on this paper for the next three units. The final draft of the paper--with all three sections described below--will be due at the end of Unit #4.
Purpose:
This paper assignment has several purposes. As the first major paper for this class, the Point of View Essay is designed to re-engage you with the fundamentals of all good writing, including using lush sensory details to show the reader a particular place (rather than tell them about it), basic organization, clear focus, etc. However, this unit does not function as a mere review. The Point of View Essay will also introduce you to the concept of "thinking and seeing rhetorically, and analyzing writing rhetorically"--using the Writer's Toolbox described in this unit to improve your writing and critical reading skills. Finally, the Point of View Essay allows you to reflect on this process.
The Assignment:
1. Pleasant/Unpleasant Description of the Place:
Choose a place you can observe for an extended period of time (at least 20-30 minutes). Use all of your senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, even taste if possible) to experience the place, and record all of the sensations that you experience. As you record your data, you may wish to note which details naturally seem more positive, negative, or neutral, in terms of tone. (For instance, a stinky and overflowing trash barrel swarming with flies in a nearby alley might seem more inherently negative than a little white bunny rabbit hopping playfully across the lawn.) Then, you will use this information to help your write two descriptions of the place: one positive, one negative (at least 1-2 well-developed paragraphs or a minimum of 125-150 words each). Both descriptions should be factually true (same real time and real place), but you will want one description to be clearly positive in terms of tone and the other to be clearly negative. In addition to including the information and sensory details you've collected as the basis for these descriptions, you will also use the Writer's Toolbox to create your two contrasting impressions for this assignment. (The Writer's Toolbox is explained in the Lecture Notes section of this unit.) As you revise and refine your descriptions, please be sure you are "showing" your readers your place (really putting the readers "there" in the moment and in this scene), rather than simply "telling" them about it. You will also want to try to eliminate unnecessary linking verbs as much as you can, incorporating verbs that show "action" whenever possible.
2. Rhetorical Analysis:
Looking back at your descriptions, analyze how you created these two very different impressions of the place (one positive, one negative) without changing any of the facts. How did you make your place seem so positive in one paragraph and yet so negative in the other paragraph, without changing the facts? Discuss how you incorporated each of the tools from the Writer's T.

The Media’s Influences on Society
The topic I chose to write my major essay on is the media’s influences on society.
This includes both positive and negative influences that the media portrays which plays a big part in society. I will explain how and why the media is used for much more than just entertainment purposes for society and how the media affects the choices society makes and its outcomes. The media affects society with these influences because it alters the way people think and it plays a role in the choices the people make. The change in peoples thoughts do to influences from what they see creates an opportunity for them to either make a good or bad choice depending on the type of influence that is shown. I believe that most of time the media portrays negative influences upon society. A positive influence from the media would be a commercial or show/clip about stopping bullying that informs people about the topic and why bullying is wrong and how it affects the lives of the victims. This type of media would influence society in a positive way because it would actually get society thinking about the situation and for the bullies some of them will actually realize the harm they are causing there victims and they would probably stop bullying people. A negative influence of the media would be a song with someone talking about how they murder people and take drugs and make it in a way to make people think it’s “cool” and then people who listen to it start imitating the things talked about in the song because they want to be “cool”. What I hope to accomplish with this essay is to open people eyes and help them see that the things they watch and listen to as in media actually alter the way they think and the choices they make so hopefully they change what they listen to and watch to more positive things.
The reason I chose to write about the media and its influences on society is to inform people that media has a bigger purposes than just entertainment for society and to hopefully help people make better choices and actually pay attention to the things they watch and listen to. I see how the media influence our modern society everywhere, at the basketball courts at the park at stores. Some of the people at the basketball courts I go to start listening to music that talk about drugs, gangs, murder and they start acting tough, being stupid and talking reckless and they get into arguments or even worse end up getting into fights and someone gets hurt I see this all the time. My paper is important because it will help shed light on the media motives and hopefully start making people m.

Suggestions:
Read the assignment specifications carefully first.Write the first version of your program in Week 4 and then create new versions as you learn new topics. Do NOT leave it until Week 11 to start writing the program. Review Topic 4 on stepwise refinement. This is how you should approach the major. Also note that though your program must do something and must compile it does not have to be complete to earn marks.
Specifications
One of the many tasks that programmers get asked to do is to convert data from one form to another. Frequently data is presented to users in well-labelled, tabular form for easy reading. However, it is impossible or very difficult to do further processing of the data unless it is changed into a more useful form.
For the purposes of this assignment I have downloaded and will make available the undergraduate applications to the 37 Australian universities from the Department of Education for 2009 – 2013 data file as a text file.
Your program will load this data into an array of structs, save the data in a form that is directly usable by a database (see below), display the data on the console in its original form and in its database form. It will also allow the user to display the highest number of applications for a given state and year.
Your program will use a menu to allow the user to choose what task is to be done. You will only be required to handle the Applications data. You can ignore the Offers and Offers rates data (see below).

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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson's disease is a neuro de-generative disease that occurs
and depletes the neurons

present in substansia nigra. These neurons are involved in the
transmission of nerve impulses
from corpus collosum to the substansia nigra part of the mid
brain. These are the character
playing neurons in managing voluntary motor movements in the
body. It mostly occurs in elderly
patients describe by involuntary movements and multi-
dimensional brain functioning. The part
of this disease may occur due to the effective and excessive
use of medications indulging in
11. bipolar or Alzheimer's disease (Ahlskog, 2018). The decline
of dopamine in par compacta
deteriorates the normal functioning of the brain in controlling
motor activities.
Prescription medication
The prescribed medications used for Parkinson’s disease
includes the use of Levodopa
directly with replenishes the pool for dopamine
neurotransmitter. This drug can’t be given in a
single dose rather without carbidopa (LODOSYN) the
levodopa will break down into dopamine
and then to epinephrine in the body’s periphery. This will
create severe symptomatic side effects
like an increase in heart rate and sympathetic system
dominancy. Dopa-decarboxylase enzyme
breaks down the levodopa in the periphery so along with
levodopa carbidopa is given. This
inhibits the dopa-decarboxylase enzyme and allows levodopa
to travel into the blood brain
barrier easily.
For the calculations of drug regimen there must be
precautionary measures for kidney
and liver sensitive enzyme dependent patients. LFT and RFT’s
12. for sensitive patients are done to
ensure the correct for dose adjustments not lying in range
affecting kidneys and liver function.
Below are some of the medications for Parkinson’s disease.
a. Agonist of dopamine: - Use of ergot containing drugs like
bromocriptine, ropinirole
(Requip) and pramipexole (Mirapex), They are used for the
patch medication there are
some drugs given in patch because elder patients sometimes
can’t swallow capsules or
tablets may be due to fear so Neupro is given as a patch that
contains rotigotine in it as
active ingredient. Yet another way to administer medication
through injectable which
involves Apokyn has apomorphine as an active participate of
treatment (Xu et.al, 2019).
b. MOA inhibitors: - These are the enzymes that break down the
dopamine in the
periphery of neuron in synaptic cleft. For observing the action,
they are blocked by these
MOA inhibitors (mono amine oxidase inhibitors) including
Zelapar, Eldepryl residing
selegiline in it.
13. c. COMT inhibitors: - These are the reuptake channels and
enzymatic control of dopamine
from the synaptic cleft. If they are blocked, then there will no
uptake of dopamine in the
neuron and there will be much more dopamine to perform its
function and meet the other
synaptic surface of a leading neuron. Comtan containing
entacapone is used to replenish
dopamine concentration in synaptic cleft and Tasmar as
Tolcapone.
d. Anti-cholinergic: - The use of these medications is to control
the frequency of tremors
and muscles movement which results in the deprivation of
energy and loss of nutrients
from cells resulting in weakening of muscle. Cogentin
containing benztropine is the
chiefly used drug in regimens prescribed by doctors (
Richardson et.al, 2018) .

medications in one role (Katzenschlager et.al, 2018). Rather put
14. elder patients in that category
that deals with the slow and shaking movement of facial
muscles and hands, pill rolling
movement and improved muscle rigidity is seen. Geriatrics has
an affective therapeutic goal in
improving dopamine level in the body.

15. Spelling mistake: ropinirole
e. Non- prescribed drug treatment: - Many ways are there for
those patients who wanted
to mend their way in treating of Parkinson disease. Most
effective practices are exercise,
16. proper muscle movements and massage therapy, speech and
locomotors junction therapy.
Some of the occupational therapy sessions with therapist
recommendations are beneficial
for Parkinsonism. Use of motivated speeches and psychological
sessions will bring
patients from holding the strong grip over their disease and will
think less about it.
Adverse effects and drug –drug interaction
Most probably the use of drugs for one ailment may cause
damage to other parts of the
body if it left unaware or unattended. Especially in the case of
depression therapy and
medication, some of the drugs are related to the origin of
Parkinson disease. Alzheimer's is a
psychotic disorder that may lead to Parkinsonism symptoms
during its treatment. Dementia and
sleeplessness are the most effective adverse effects of drugs
used in Parkinson's disease.
Hallucinations and delusions are also common as these drugs
are used as adjunct therapy for
depression ( Katzenschlager et.al, 2018) .
Warfarin has a severe drug-drug interaction with ropinirole,
and this causes an
17. anticoagulant effect in the blood which forms less solubility of
drug and interaction mode of the
drug in serum plasma is decreased. Medications use for liver
functioning and kidney assistance
like thiazide diuretics and loop diuretic used in hypertensive
patients will get affected by
ropinirole. Gastric drugs for ulcerations and bleeding in the
small intestine may be enhanced by
the use of levodopa. It will bind to complexes formed by
aluminum hydroxide in gastric track
thus inhibits the efficacy of the drug and formulate ulceration.
Pediatrics and geriatrics
Use of a controlled amount of drug regimens in the clinical
setup there must be an
important note for breast feeding mothers to restrict the
required dose for Parkinson's disease.
Related to pediatrics calculated initiated amount of dosage
regimen is selected. As ropinirole has
severe dementia effect in children. In children, sudden mood
swings and motor impartment
during exercise and running is seen. But improved therapy
sessions have presented the group of

29. FDA Approved drug in recent year
Dayvigo (lemborexant) (12/20/2019)
Introduction:
In recent years the brain disorders have affected a large number
of people over the globe. This turning into the fashion of every
single being to overcome productivity and tried to acquire
sleep. Sleep disorders are the most prevailing under this
category, this helps in bringing the health and life span towards
betterment despite warning future depictions. With the
introduction of a new medication in treating insomnia and other
sleep-related disorders, there must some intervention which
helps in manufacturing a structured framework to indulge
effective drug regimens and combinations. Experimental trial
and judgmental predictions are the true yield for the growing
population.
Recent years have diagnosed the most irritating disease these
days which tendered the process of the normal sleep cycle.
Pharmacodynamics:
The arousal and wakefulness are determined by the part of the
hypothalamus in the brain. This depicts the maintenance of
sleep function and its cycle, on the other hand, it demonstrates
the appetite and wakefulness. There are hypocretin proteins in
the brain which are in the range from 10,000 to 25,000 neurons
in the brain. Thus the functioning of a sleep cycle zone is
carefully maintained. Lemborexant (Dayvigo) is now
determined after the clinical trials that it works by binding to
one of the two receptors of hypocretin in the brain. This
increases the arousal and appetite requirement in the body. And
tends to cause sleep occurrence.
· In another way, it may directly bind to the receptors in the
brain after passing through the CNS into neurons of the
hypothalamus. Due to high lipoprotein functional groups and
bioavailability in blood serum, it can easily pass from the
blood-brain barrier. Orexin receptors in the brain are working
30. antagonism to the sleep cycle thus they are antagonized by
Dayvigo when administered.
· There are two types of receptors of orexin OX1 and OX2, both
of them are blocked by the dual blocking ability of Dayvigo.
Due to this dual antagonism function justification for ground
reality sleep cycle is beginning.
· Related to recent research some of the familiar drugs may
cause severe adverse effects due to single antagonism either of
OX1 or OX2.
In this, the hypocretin refers to the embedded genes st4rucutre
and the functioning in order to transcript the usual sleep cycle
for normal physiology. Disturbance in the peptide chain
imbalance for orexin is recommended in postsynaptic disorders
in the brain.
Arousal and appetite stimulants are much recommended and
preferred choice for the determination of good Dayvigo
working. It diminishes the time for onset of rapid eye movement
which is the latent period for sleep occurrence by antagonizing
oxer in receptors found in the hypothalamus directed to control
the sleep cycle and appetite.
Pharmacokinetic:
After judging the proper renal functioning and liver metabolic
processes Lemborexant is treated under total balanced plasma
concentration. The area under the curve shows the experimental
property for determining the highest plasma available protein
binding and free drug. The more free drug is there more will the
penetration for Dayvigo in the blood brain barrier.
Area under the curve:
The area under the curve for time and concentration has set the
goal intervention for 0.8 hours to 0.4 hours implementation
dosage. In an average weight of patients ranging from 45-60 kg,
the division of drug distribution is followed by the affected
dosage regimen depending upon the age factor.
The C max for Dayvigo after administration through the oral
route is judge by drawing the graph for %age obtained through
the curve calculations by integration of log. High fat and other
31. protein content before obtaining the drug will decrease the C
max of the drug after its distribution in blood plasma.
After the co-administration with other medications, the use of
Dayvigo is depicted to be rendered for another purpose. It may
be involved in hypnosis and psychosis either for delusional
interventions. Ground realities for experimentations have shown
the right administration with anti-depressants in the case of
allowing better efficacy and guided results.
Disease state:
In insomnia, the normal sleep cycle referring to the latent sleep
period and wakefulness is mismanaged. This brings a graph of
decline in the health of fetuses if given to pregnant women,
allowing passing through the umbilical cord depositing in the
fetus's brain. As it has much more lipid penetration power so
the adverse effects are more dominant.
Dayvigo antagonizes the orexin receptors in the brain present in
the hypothalamus. Due to antagonism receptors are restricted to
perform the wakefulness and cause insomnia so sleep-waking is
also impaired.
Difference between currently available therapies:
The use for currently available therapies is Davigo which held
at the same door for the functioning in pharmacokinetic
properties. Rather use in adjuncts some of them are used in
parallel fashion just to organize and indulge further
specification and prevent complications in a disease state.
After randomized clinical trials and other drug interventions,
there are several procedures that form the basis in formulary
and dosage regimen. Rats were being used for effective drug
purpose and other drug differences yielding good results.
Monitoring parameters:
Most of the drug's adverse effects and safety profiles are under
the guideline of the therapeutic window which depicts the
clinical efficacy of a drug user for a specific patient. In order to
endure the kidney and liver acceptability, there must be an
assurance for brain disorders testing.
Dementia and delusions with disorganized sleep patterns may
32. groom into the natural body attaining the highest possible
conditions for change. The reason for good plasma albumin
binding capacity is to determine oncotic and vessel friction
apparatus working properly also in glomerulus so no leaking of
proteins occurs normally in urine formation.
Patient age, sex, weight properties are managed and determine
carefully. This brings the historic pectoral representation of
educated and communicable civilians. According to the WHO
sleeping disorders and another brain, malfunctioning is most
prevalent which may be due to hypertension and less diet
merged with healthy nutrients.
Personal prescription:
If one prescribed these medications for treating insomnia it will
be a much better option if used along with muscle relaxant and
hypnotic drugs. These hypnotic and sedative drugs will mimic
the action of Dayvigo and enhance its functional capability.
· Sticking to Dayvigo only will have no dominant effect yet it
also has addictive and dependent properties. So effective
monitoring should be done on the patient if given hypnotics like
this. Dependency is most common so as to treat insomnia for
lifetime therapy but renal compromised patients have to
optimize their dosage regimens unless or until their test reports
are under restricted supervision. Drug index and casual effects
related to drug functions may be shown including delusion,
hallucinations, and dizziness. Order for recognizing the need for
this drug must be consulted and MRI for functioning on a trial
basis.

Matheson, E., & Hainer, B. L. (2017, July 1). Insomnia:
37. corpus collosum to the susbtansia nigra part of the mid brain.
These are the character playing neurons in managing voluntary
motor movements in the body.
It mostly occurs in elderly patients describe by involuntary
movements and multi-dimensional brain functioning. The part
of this disease may occur due to the effective and excessive use
of medications indulging in bi polar or Alzheimer's disease. The
decline of dopamine in par compacta deteriorates the normal
functioning of the brain in controlling motor activities.
Prescription medication:
The prescribed medications used for Parkinson’s disease
includes the use of Levodopa directly with replenishes the pool
for dopamine neurotransmitter.
This drug can’t be given in a single dose rather without
carbidopa (LODOSYN) the levodopa will break down into
dopamine and then to epinephrine in the body’s periphery. This
will create severe symptomatic side effects like an increase in
heart rate and sympathetic system dominancy. Dopa-
decarboxylase enzyme breaks down the levodopa in the
periphery so along with levodopa carbidopa is given. This
inhibits the dopa-decarboxylase enzyme and allows levodopa to
travel into the blood brain barrier easily.
For the calculations of drug regimen there must be
precautionary measures for kidney and liver sensitive enzyme
dependent patients. LFT and RFT’s for sensitive patients are
38. done to ensure the correct for dose adjustments not lying in
range affecting kidneys and liver function.
Agonist of dopamine:
Use of ergot containing drugs like bromocriptine, ropinirole
(Requip), and containing pramipexole (Mirapex). Use for the
patch medication there are some drugs given in patch because
elder patients sometimes can’t swallow capsules or tablets may
be due to fear so Neupro is given as a patch containing
rotigotine in it as active ingredient.
Yet another way to administer medication through injectable
which involves Apokyn having apomorphine as an active
participate of treatment.
MOA inhibitors:
these are the enzymes that break down the dopamine in the
periphery of neuron in synaptic cleft. For observing the action
they are blocked by these MOA inhibitors (mono amine oxidase
inhibitors) including Zelapar, Eldepryl residing selegiline in it.
COMT inhibitors:
These are the reuptake channels and enzymatic control of
dopamine from the synaptic cleft. If they are blocked then there
will no uptake of dopamine in the neuron and there will be
much more dopamine to perform its function and meet the other
synaptic surface of a leading neuron. Comtan containing
entacapone is used to replenish dopamine concentration in
synaptic cleft and Tasmar as Tolcapone.
39. Anti-cholinergic:
The use of these mnedications is to control the frequency of
tremors and muscles movement which results in the deprivation
of energy and loss of nutrients from cells resulting in
weakening of muscle.
Cogentin containing benztropine is the chiefly used drug in
regimens prescribed by doctors.
Non- prescribed drug treatment:
Many ways are there for those patients who wanted to mend
their way in treating of Parkinson disease. Most effective
practices are exercise, proper muscle movements and massage
therapy, speech and locomotors junction therapy. Some of the
occupational therapy sessions with therapist recommendations
are beneficial for Parkinsonism.
Use of motivated speeches and psychological sessions will bring
patients from holding the strong grip over their disease and will
think less about it.
Adverse effects and drug –drug interaction:
Most probably the use of drugs for one ailment may cause
damage to other parts of the body if it left unaware or
unattended. Especially in the case of depression therapy and
medication, some of the drugs are related to the origin of
Parkinson disease. Alzheimer's is a psychotic disorder that may
lead to Parkinsonism symptoms during its treatment.
Dementia and sleeplessness are the most effective adverse
40. effects of drugs used in Parkinson's disease. Hallucinations and
delusions are also common as these drugs are used as adjunct
therapy for depression.
Warfarin has a severe drug-drug interaction with ropinirole and
this causes an anticoagulant effect in the blood which forms less
solubility of drug and interaction mode of the drug in serum
plasma is decreased. Medications use for liver functioning and
kidney assistance like thiazide diuretics and loop diuretic used
in hypertensive patients will get affected by ropinirole. Gastric
drugs for ulcerations and bleeding in the small intestine may be
enhanced by the use of levodopa. It will bind to complexes
formed by aluminum hydroxide in gastric track thus inhibits the
efficacy of the drug and formulate ulceration.
Pediatrics and geriatrics:
Use of a controlled amount of drug regimens in the clinical
setup there must be an important note for breast feeding
mothers to restrict the required dose for Parkinson's disease.
Related to pediatrics calculated initiated amount of dosage
regimen is selected. As ropinirole has severe dementia effect in
children. In children, sudden mood swings and motor
impartment during exercise and running is seen. But improved
therapy sessions have presented the group of medications in one
role. Rather put elder patients in that category that deals with
the slow and shaking movement of facial muscles and hands,
pill rolling movement and improved muscle rigidity is seen.
41. Geriatrics has an affective therapeutic goal in improving
dopamine level in the body.
