Project: Course Project: Part 1—Identifying a Researchable Problem
One of the most challenging aspects of EBP is to actually identify the answerable question.
—Karen Sue Davies
Formulating a question that targets the goal of your research is a challenging but essential task. The question plays a crucial role in all other aspects of the research, including the determination of the research design and theoretical perspective to be applied, which data will be collected, and which tools will be used for analysis. It is therefore essential to take the time to ensure that the research question addresses what you actually want to study. Doing so will increase your likelihood of obtaining meaningful results.
In this first component of the Course Project, you formulate questions to address a particular nursing issue or problem. You use the PICOT model—patient/population, intervention/issue, comparison, and outcome—outlined in the Learning Resources to design your questions.
To prepare:
Review the article,
“Formulating the Evidence Based Practice Question: A Review of the Frameworks,”
found in the Learning Resources for this week. Focus on the PICOT model for guiding the development of research questions.
Review the section beginning on page 75 of the course text, titled, “Developing and Refining Research Problems” in the course text
,( Marquis & Huston) which focuses on analyzing the feasibility of a research problem.
Reflect on an issue or problem that you have noticed in your nursing practice. Consider the significance of this issue or problem.
(Refer to the PICOT question you earlier formulated for me on handwashing)
Generate at
least five questions
that relate to the issue which you have identified. Use the criteria in your course text to select one question that would be most appropriate in terms of significance, feasibility, and interest.
Be prepared to explain your rationale
.
Formulate a preliminary PICO question—one that is answerable—based on your analysis. What are the PICO variables (patient/population, intervention/issue, comparison, and outcome) for this question? (once again refer to the PICO question you earlier formulated for me on:
Does hand washing and appropriate staff dressing among the surgical ward nurses reduce cross infection during patient management)
Note:
Not all of these variables may be appropriate to every question. Be sure to analyze which are and are not relevant to your specific question.
Using the PICOT variables that you determined for your question,
develop a list of at least 10 keywords that could be used when conducting a literature search to investigate current research pertaining to the question.
To complete:
Write a
4-page paper that includes the following:
(1) A summary of your area of interest, an identification of the problem that you have selected, and an explanation of the significance of this problem for nursing practice
(2) The 5 questions you have generated and a description of how .

Finding Sources of EvidenceAn important step in the EBP process .docxRAJU852744
Finding Sources of Evidence
An important step in the EBP process is reviewing the current body of literature to better understand the subject or topic in which you are interested. By conducting a review of the literature, you are building foundational knowledge about the topic; later, you can use this background to build new insights. Developing a strong grasp of a topic can only be garnered by taking the time to thoroughly search for relevant information and resources.
For this Discussion, you will practice searching the literature to find evidence on a specific topic.
To prepare:
Choose a simple search term(s) relating to a topic of your PICOT question.
Review the information on the evidence hierarchy discussed in Chapter 2 of the course text, in the article, “Facilitating Access to Pre-Processed Research Evidence in Public Health,” and in the multimedia presentation “Hierarchy of Evidence Pyramid,” found in this week’s Learning Resources.
Review the information on the Walden Library’s website, “Levels of evidence.” Take a few minutes to explore the different types of databases available for each level of evidence and focus on the meaning of filtered and non-filtered resources.
Conduct a literature search in the Walden Library on your selected topic using the databases that you reviewed. Use at least one database for each of the three levels of filtered information and at least one unfiltered database. Record the number of hits that you find at each level of the hierarchy of evidence.
Select one article from the results at each level of the hierarchy. Compare the articles based on the quality and depth of information. What would be the value of each resource if you were determining an evidence-based practice?
Post a summary of your search. Describe what topic you selected, the search term(s) that you used, and the number of results found at each level of the hierarchy. Compare the types of information found in the articles from different levels and the value of the information from each level. Highlight a useful tip that you could share with your colleagues about conducting an effective literature search.
Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses.
Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days using one or more of the following approaches:
Share an insight from having read your colleagues’ postings, synthesizing the information to provide new perspectives.
Validate an idea with your own experience and additional sources.
Make a suggestion based on additional evidence drawn from readings, or after synthesizing multiple postings.

Before you begin, review the Course Project Overview document located in the Week 2 Resources area.
The literature review is a critical piece in the research process because it helps a researcher determine what is currently known about a topic and identify gaps or further questions. Conducting a thorough literature review can be a time-consuming process, but the effort helps establish the foundation for everything that will follow. For this part of your Course Project, you will conduct a brief literature review to find information on the question you developed in Week 2. This will provide you with experience in searching databases and identifying applicable resources.
To prepare:
Review the information in Chapter 5 of the course text, focusing on the steps for conducting a literature review and for compiling your findings.
Using the question you selected in your Week 2 Project (Part 1 of the Course Project), locate 5 or more full-text research articles that are relevant to your PICOT question. Include at least 1 systematic review and 1 integrative review if possible. Use the search tools and techniques mentioned in your readings this week to enhance the comprehensiveness and objectivity of your review. You may gather these articles from any appropriate source, but make sure at least 3 of these articles are available as full-text versions through Walden Library’s databases.
Read through the articles carefully. Eliminate studies that are not appropriate and add others to your list as needed. Although you may include more, you are expected to include a minimum of five articles. Complete a literature review summary table using the Literature Review Summary Table Template located in this week’s Learning Resources.
Prepare to summarize and synthesize the literature using the information on writing a literature review found in Chapter 5 of the course text.
To complete:
Write a 3- to 4-page literature review that includes the following:
A synthesis of what the studies reveal about the current state of knowledge on the question that you developed
Point out inconsistencies and contradictions in the literature and offer possible explanations for inconsistencies.
Preliminary conclusions on whether the evidence provides strong support for a change in practice or whether further research is needed to adequately address your inquiry
Your literature review summary table with all references formatted in correct APA style

Discussion:-1
Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice
In your practice as a nurse, you may use procedures and methods that did not necessarily originate in evidence, but instead were derived from informal and unwritten conventions, traditions, and observations. While these techniques may have merit, practices are constantly being updated and contradicted by information from scholarly research studies and professional guidelines. This new information serves as “evidence” for revising practices to improve outcomes across health care.
Based on this evidence, you can formulate a question. In this Discussion, you consider the use of evidence-based practice in your own organization and formulate a question that you will need to answer for your portfolio project. This is called a PICOT question. You will also investigate strategies for overcoming barriers to implementing evidence-based practice (EBP).
To prepare:
Consider a recent clinical experience in which you were providing care for a patient.
Determine the extent to which the care that you provided was based on evidence and research findings or supported only by your organization’s standard procedures. How do you know if the tasks were based on research?
What questions have you thought about in a particular area of care such as a procedure or policy?
Review Chapter 2, pages 31–34 on “Asking Well worded Clinical Questions” in Polit & Beck and consult the resource from the Walden Student Center for Success: Clinical Question Anatomy & examples of PICOT questions (found in this week’s Learning Resources). Formulate your background questions and PICOT question.
Reflect on the barriers that might inhibit the implementation of evidence-based practice in your clinical environment.
Review the article “Adopting Evidence-Based Practice in Clinical Decision Making” in this week’s Learning Resources. Select one of the barriers described that is evident in your organization and formulate a plan for overcoming this barrier.

Starting the Research Process
Formulating a specific, applicable research problem statement is an important step in beginning a research process. The problem statement defines the focus of the research study, dictates what methods and tools will be used, and sets the stage for all subsequent elements of the research process. Because of this, it is necessary to put a great deal of thought into the problem statement to ensure that the rest of the research process will be well planned and appropriate to the problem at hand.
This week’s Discussion asks you to identify evidence-based practice problems that can be addressed using quantitative research methods. Based on the practice problem you select, formulate a quantitative research problem statement. In this Discussion, you are also given the opportunity to evaluate your colleagues’ problem statements. Please refer to this week’s Learning Resources for appropriate and scholarly examples of research problem statements and how they inform the rest of the research process.
To prepare:
Determine a nursing practice problem that is of interest to you and that is appropriate for a quantitative research study.
Note:
You will continue to use this problem in the Discussions over the next several weeks.
Using the Walden Library and other credible sources, locate and read two or three articles that address your practice problem.
(you must cite the articles read in this assignment)
With your practice problem in mind, review the Learning Resources and media presentations focusing on the strategies presented for generating a research problem statement.
Ask yourself: What is the importance of my practice problem to nursing, research, and theory? How might addressing this problem bring about positive social change? How will investigating this problem support evidence-based practice?
By Tomorrow 09/06/17, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with a minimum of 3 references from the list below which include the level one headings as numbered below:
Post
1) A proposed research problem statement (it has to be related to nursing for example: could be on diabetes, heart failure or more …)
2) Including sufficient information to make your focus clear and explaining how addressing this problem may bring about positive social change.

Order Instructions: ATTACHED
Please follow the instructions of the discussion. Included the text book Polick & Beck (2017) in the references.I attached the order 3335318 that is needed to complete this work.
When conducting original research, the final step researchers must complete is weighing the evidence and interpreting the meanings of their data, statistics, and analyses. This is the culmination of the research process in which all of the research methods and designs can be synthesized into a meaningful conclusion. In this stage, researchers should formulate explanations for what their data indicates, determine whether the data answer their initial research question, identify areas of uncertainty, and consider directions for further research.
In this Discussion, you focus on one of the research articles that you identified for Part 2 of the Course Project (Literature Review). You then explore the process of how the researchers generated conclusions based on their data, consider other possible interpretations of their data, and formulate ideas for further research.
To prepare:
-Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on how researchers find meaning in their data and generate sound conclusions. Pay particular attention to Table 2 in the article, “Study Design in Medical Research.”
-Revisit the 5 articles that you identified in Part 2 of the Course Project(order 3335318). Select one to consider for the purpose of this Discussion.
-Read sections of the chosen article where the data is presented, analyzed, and interpreted for meaning. What reasoning process did the researchers use to formulate their conclusions? What explanation did they give to support their conclusions? Were there any weaknesses in their analysis or conclusions?
Consider possible alternate conclusions that the researchers could have drawn based on their data.
-Examine the findings that the article presents and consider how well they addressed the researcher’s initial question(s). -What additional research could be done to build on these findings and gain a fuller understanding of the question?

Developing PICO QuestionsDetermining the topic of an evaluation .docxeve2xjazwa
Developing PICO Questions
Determining the topic of an evaluation is one of the most important steps of the evaluation process. In the process of selecting a topic for evaluation, researchers should reflect on what information needs to be gathered and how it will be used. A PICO question can provide the foundation for this process. The PICO question requires researchers to determine the population to be studied, select the intervention that occurred or will occur (such as a new system), have a baseline with which to compare the evaluation, and finally, have a standard to measure the outcome of the project. Using a PICO question as a guideline helps ensure the evaluation is focused and effective.
In this Discussion, you generate a PICO question that corresponds to the Evaluation Plan Focus you developed last week.
To prepare:
Develop a PICO question based on the Evaluation Plan Focus Assignment completed last week.
Reflect on why it is important that this question be answered. Identify the “who cares?” factor.
By Day tomorrow 12/28/2016, write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format with a minimum of 3 reference from the list provided below. Include the level one headings as numbered below:
1)
Post
a summary of key points (evaluation goal, viewpoint, and model) from your Evaluation Plan Focus Assignment.
2)
Post your PICO question. Explain why you developed this question, and why it is important to be considered.

Prosecuting Cybercrime The Jurisdictional ProblemIn this discuss.docxanitramcroberts
Prosecuting Cybercrime: The Jurisdictional Problem
In this discussion, you will consider the many jurisdictional obstacles that confront investigators in their cyber crimes investigations.
For a frame of reference, consider this scenario:
Bob lives in California and decides to take a weekend trip to Las Vegas. Bob packs his suitcase and the sets off, but stops to buy marijuana while still in California.
Just after Bob crosses the border from California into Nevada, he is stopped for speeding. The police find enough marijuana to charge him with a felony.
The state of Nevada wants to prosecute Bob because he was stopped there. The state of California wants to prosecute Bob because he originally picked up the marjijuana in their state. The federal government wants to prosecute Bob becase marijuna possession and trafficking are federal offenses. Who has jurisdiction?
Using this frame of reference, consider what investigators face when they try to apprehend cyber criminals. A cyber criminal in Holland hacks a database and steals thousands of customer's data. The data theft effected U.S. citizens as well as citizens from other countries. U.S. investigators do not have jurisdiction in Holland, so they work with Interpol/Europol. This is not a fast process, so by the time they get a warrant to apprehend the cyber criminal, he's gone.
For this discussion forum, you will consider the jurisdictional problems when it comes to cyber crime. Please review the article at the link below and post your thoughts on the single most difficult hurdle when it comes to prosecuting cyber crime. Your initial post should be no less that 250 words.

PromptTopic Joseph is scheduled to have hip replacement surgery .docxanitramcroberts
Prompt/Topic
: Joseph is scheduled to have hip replacement surgery in four days. He has been waiting to have the surgery for several months and is hoping that after he recovers he will have better mobility and less pain. About three weeks ago, he developed a severe stomach virus. He vomited for four days and was only able to take liquids for almost a week. He still is not eating very much and has very little appetite. He does not have much energy, but he thinks that it will not matter because he will not be very active after surgery anyway.
Is Joseph’s recent illness likely to impact his surgical outcome? If so, how?
What would you recommend to Joseph?

Property Tax
The property tax has been criticized as an unfair basis for financing public schools. Areas that have high property values are able to pay better schools than area having lower property values. Thus, there is an inequality of educational opportunities that tends to perpetuate educational and social disadvantages for those who live in low-income areas.
Do you agree or disagree?
How could school financing be modified to provide more equal funding among all regions of a state?

关于那internship:
There are three registered lobbyists in the office – we are the liaison between the ADL regional offices and Congress and the Administration. I have the domestic portfolios – hate crime, church-state, First Amendment, counterterrorism, religious freedom, LGBT rights, police and criminal justice reform and state legislative initiatives. The other two lobbyists lead our advocacy efforts on international issues – immigration, Middle East peace, global anti-Semitism, international religious freedom, and human rights. And the fourth staffer, Sarah Woodbury, is our social media guru and grass roots outreach and advocacy coordinator.
Our work here is project oriented – drafting, research, legal and legislative analysis, interpretation, coalition building, organizing advocacy efforts, and summarizing events on the legislative and administrative front. We work closely with ADL civil rights, international affairs, and Legal Affairs colleagues in our national office in New York, and with the five area counsels across the country, who back up our work with more traditional, more extensive legal research and writing.

Course Project Part 3—Translating Evidence Into PracticeIn Part.docxbuffydtesurina
Course Project: Part 3—Translating Evidence Into Practice
In Part 3 of the Course Project, you consider how the evidence you gathered during Part 2 can be translated into nursing practice.
Now that you have located available research on your PICOT question, you will examine what the research indicates about nursing practices. Connecting research evidence and findings to actual decisions and tasks that nurses complete in their daily practice is essentially what evidence-based practice is all about. This final component of the Course Project asks you to translate the evidence and data from your literature review into authentic practices that can be adopted to improve health care outcomes. In addition, you will also consider possible methods and strategies for disseminating evidence-based practices to your colleagues and to the broader health care field.
To prepare:
Consider Parts 1 and 2 of your Course Project. How does the research address your PICOT question?
PLEASE REFER TO FILES ATTACHED BELOW
With your PICOT question in mind, identify at least one nursing practice that is supported by the evidence in two or more of the articles from your literature review. Consider what the evidence indicates about how this practice contributes to better outcomes.
Explore possible consequences of failing to adopt the evidence-based practice that you identified.
Consider how you would disseminate information about this evidence-based practice throughout your organization or practice setting. How would you communicate the importance of the practice?
To complete:
In a 3- to 4-page paper:
1) Restate your PICOT question and its significance to nursing practice.
My PICOT question is:
does hand washing and appropriate staff dressing among the surgical ward nurses reduce cross infection during patient management?
2) Summarize the findings from the articles you selected for your literature review. Describe at least one nursing practice that is supported by the evidence in the articles. Justify your response with specific references to at least 2 of the articles. Please refer to the articles below:

Number of sources: 3
Writing Style: APA
Type of document: Dissertation Chapter - Discussion
Academic Level:Master
Category: Nursing
Language Style: English (U.S.)
Order Instructions: ATTACHED
Please follow the instructions of the discussion. Included the text book Polick & Beck (2017) in the references.I attached the order 3335318 that is needed to complete this work.
When conducting original research, the final step researchers must complete is weighing the evidence and interpreting the meanings of their data, statistics, and analyses. This is the culmination of the research process in which all of the research methods and designs can be synthesized into a meaningful conclusion. In this stage, researchers should formulate explanations for what their data indicates, determine whether the data answer their initial research question, identify areas of uncertainty, and consider directions for further research.
In this Discussion, you focus on one of the research articles that you identified for Part 2 of the Course Project (Literature Review). You then explore the process of how the researchers generated conclusions based on their data, consider other possible interpretations of their data, and formulate ideas for further research.
To prepare:
-Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on how researchers find meaning in their data and generate sound conclusions. Pay particular attention to Table 2 in the article, “Study Design in Medical Research.”
-Revisit the 5 articles that you identified in Part 2 of the Course Project(order 3335318). Select one to consider for the purpose of this Discussion.
-Read sections of the chosen article where the data is presented, analyzed, and interpreted for meaning. What reasoning process did the researchers use to formulate their conclusions? What explanation did they give to support their conclusions? Were there any weaknesses in their analysis or conclusions?
Consider possible alternate conclusions that the researchers could have drawn based on their data.
-Examine the findings that the article presents and consider how well they addressed the researcher’s initial question(s). -What additional research could be done to build on these findings and gain a fuller understanding of the question?

Developing PICO QuestionsDetermining the topic of an evaluation .docxeve2xjazwa
Developing PICO Questions
Determining the topic of an evaluation is one of the most important steps of the evaluation process. In the process of selecting a topic for evaluation, researchers should reflect on what information needs to be gathered and how it will be used. A PICO question can provide the foundation for this process. The PICO question requires researchers to determine the population to be studied, select the intervention that occurred or will occur (such as a new system), have a baseline with which to compare the evaluation, and finally, have a standard to measure the outcome of the project. Using a PICO question as a guideline helps ensure the evaluation is focused and effective.
In this Discussion, you generate a PICO question that corresponds to the Evaluation Plan Focus you developed last week.
To prepare:
Develop a PICO question based on the Evaluation Plan Focus Assignment completed last week.
Reflect on why it is important that this question be answered. Identify the “who cares?” factor.
By Day tomorrow 12/28/2016, write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format with a minimum of 3 reference from the list provided below. Include the level one headings as numbered below:
1)
Post
a summary of key points (evaluation goal, viewpoint, and model) from your Evaluation Plan Focus Assignment.
2)
Post your PICO question. Explain why you developed this question, and why it is important to be considered.

Prosecuting Cybercrime The Jurisdictional ProblemIn this discuss.docxanitramcroberts
Prosecuting Cybercrime: The Jurisdictional Problem
In this discussion, you will consider the many jurisdictional obstacles that confront investigators in their cyber crimes investigations.
For a frame of reference, consider this scenario:
Bob lives in California and decides to take a weekend trip to Las Vegas. Bob packs his suitcase and the sets off, but stops to buy marijuana while still in California.
Just after Bob crosses the border from California into Nevada, he is stopped for speeding. The police find enough marijuana to charge him with a felony.
The state of Nevada wants to prosecute Bob because he was stopped there. The state of California wants to prosecute Bob because he originally picked up the marjijuana in their state. The federal government wants to prosecute Bob becase marijuna possession and trafficking are federal offenses. Who has jurisdiction?
Using this frame of reference, consider what investigators face when they try to apprehend cyber criminals. A cyber criminal in Holland hacks a database and steals thousands of customer's data. The data theft effected U.S. citizens as well as citizens from other countries. U.S. investigators do not have jurisdiction in Holland, so they work with Interpol/Europol. This is not a fast process, so by the time they get a warrant to apprehend the cyber criminal, he's gone.
For this discussion forum, you will consider the jurisdictional problems when it comes to cyber crime. Please review the article at the link below and post your thoughts on the single most difficult hurdle when it comes to prosecuting cyber crime. Your initial post should be no less that 250 words.

PromptTopic Joseph is scheduled to have hip replacement surgery .docxanitramcroberts
Prompt/Topic
: Joseph is scheduled to have hip replacement surgery in four days. He has been waiting to have the surgery for several months and is hoping that after he recovers he will have better mobility and less pain. About three weeks ago, he developed a severe stomach virus. He vomited for four days and was only able to take liquids for almost a week. He still is not eating very much and has very little appetite. He does not have much energy, but he thinks that it will not matter because he will not be very active after surgery anyway.
Is Joseph’s recent illness likely to impact his surgical outcome? If so, how?
What would you recommend to Joseph?

Property TaxThe property tax has been criticized as an unfair ba.docxanitramcroberts
Property Tax
The property tax has been criticized as an unfair basis for financing public schools. Areas that have high property values are able to pay better schools than area having lower property values. Thus, there is an inequality of educational opportunities that tends to perpetuate educational and social disadvantages for those who live in low-income areas.
Do you agree or disagree?
How could school financing be modified to provide more equal funding among all regions of a state?
Zoning & Property Value Discussion
The main argument traditionally advanced in the favor of zoning is that it protects property values. Do you believe this contention? If so, how does zoning protect property values? If you do not believe the contention, why not?

关于那internship:
There are three registered lobbyists in the office – we are the liaison between the ADL regional offices and Congress and the Administration. I have the domestic portfolios – hate crime, church-state, First Amendment, counterterrorism, religious freedom, LGBT rights, police and criminal justice reform and state legislative initiatives. The other two lobbyists lead our advocacy efforts on international issues – immigration, Middle East peace, global anti-Semitism, international religious freedom, and human rights. And the fourth staffer, Sarah Woodbury, is our social media guru and grass roots outreach and advocacy coordinator.
Our work here is project oriented – drafting, research, legal and legislative analysis, interpretation, coalition building, organizing advocacy efforts, and summarizing events on the legislative and administrative front. We work closely with ADL civil rights, international affairs, and Legal Affairs colleagues in our national office in New York, and with the five area counsels across the country, who back up our work with more traditional, more extensive legal research and writing.

PROMPTAnalyze from Amreeka the scene you found most powerfu.docxanitramcroberts
PROMPT:
Analyze from
Amreeka
the scene you found most powerful.
(3 pages minimum, double-spaced, MLA format)
Some powerful scenes you may wish to consider include:
·
The
checkpoint scenes
that begin approximately at 3:30 and 10:30 in the film
·
The scene where Muna and Fadi go through
U.S. Customs
(17:40-19:49)
·
Fadi’s first day at school
(and his younger cousin before that helping him choose what to wear) (29:12-34:05); there is another powerful scene in the
classroom
beginning at 41:50
·
Two scenes: Muna and Raghda talking about being
homesick
; Muna and Raghda at the
Arabic grocery store
on life back in Palestine (35:00--39)
·
The scenes at
White Castle
are rich for the way we see Muna adjusting to her new life, and for the relationships she starts to form beyond her family with high school dropout Matt and Fadi’s high school principal, a Polish-American Jew.
·
The
ending
of the film begins with Muna running the drive-through at White Castle. That scene and the scene that follows in the van as she and her extended family and their guest, the principal, go to an Arab restaurant would reward careful analysis, as would the last scene of their meal in the restaurant.

Prompt #1 Examples of Inductive InferencePrepare To prepare to.docxanitramcroberts
Prompt #1: Examples of Inductive Inference
Prepare
: To prepare to answer this prompt, take another look at Chapter 5 of our book, paying close attention to the names of the various forms of inductive inference.
Types of inductive inference: Appeals to authority, Arguments from Analogy, Inductive Generalizations, Inferences to the Best Explanations, and Statistical Syllogisms
Write
: To answer the prompt, create or find one example each of three different types of inductive inference. Clearly indicate as well which type of inductive inference it is. For each of your arguments, include an analysis of its degree of strength using the evaluative methods we learned in the chapter for that type of argument.
Prompt #2:
One of the most common inferences in life is the inference to the best explanation (sometimes called
abductive reasoning
). We use this type of reasoning to infer what would best explain the things that we see. Chapter 5 in our book demonstrates ways in which this type of reasoning helps us to explain the world around us.
Prepare
: Choose a topic that is difficult or controversial to explain. Some good topics include hoaxes, unusual sightings (e.g. UFOs, bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster), the supernatural or paranormal, events that are the subject of conspiracy theories, unsolved crimes or other court cases, etc.
Reflect
: Do a little research to find a specific topic and learn about explanations on both sides. Consider what you think might best explain the observed facts of the case.
Write
: Explain the topic you chose and why it is interesting or controversial. Present good arguments on more than one side of the issue (e.g. competing explanations of the facts). Analyze both arguments that you have presented. Then present your own argument for your theory that you feel will best explain this phenomenon. Are there any holes in your theory? Is there any information that would be likely to strengthen or weaken your case?

Project
This project requires you to identify and analyze legal issues and to make recommendations based on one or more fact patterns. The issues will relate to the concepts covered in weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4 about the legal environment of business and business organizations.
Directions
This project contains three sections. You must respond to each section. You must use Headings (Section) and Sub-headings (Numbers) in your submission (points will be deducted if you do not properly label your responses. If a question is numbered, your response should also be numbered.
Section I – Sam and Irene
Sam and his sister Irene, are partners in an important business located in a small town in Rhode Island. Irene is married to a well-known real estate developer and is campaigning to be the mayor of their town. Sam is in his mid-thirties and has never been married. Both siblings travel to other countries to purchase the goods they sell at their retail store. Irene buys Indonesian goods, and Sam buys goods from Africa. After a tsunami destroys many of the cities in Indonesia to which Irene usually travels, she phones one of her contacts there and asks him to procure some items and ship them to her. He informs her that it will be impossible to buy these items now because the townspeople are being evacuated due to a water shortage. Irene is angry and tells the man that if he cannot purchase the goods, he should just take them without paying for them after the town has been evacuated. Sam overhears his sister’s instructions and is outraged.
They have a falling-out, and Sam decides that he no longer wishes to be in business with his sister.
1. Suppose that Sam tells several of his friends about Irene instructing the man to take goods without paying for them after the tsunami disaster. If Irene files a tort action against Sam alleging slander, will her suit be successful? Why or why not?
2. Now suppose that Irene wins the election and becomes the city’s mayor. Several months later Irene receives a shipment of goods from the man to whom she spoke in Indonesia. Sam asks his sister how she was able to get the goods and she replied, “I’ve got my ways.” Both Sam and his sister believe the goods were obtained fraudulently.
Sam then writes a letter to the editor of the local newspaper disclosing Irene’s misconduct. If Irene accuses Sam of committing libel, what defenses could Sam assert? Discuss fully.
3. Suppose now that Irene, who is angry with her brother for disclosing her business improprieties, writes a letter to the editor falsely accusing Sam of having sexual relations with her neighbor’s thirteen-year-old daughter. For what intentional tort or torts could Sam sue Irene in this situation? Discuss fully.

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.

Project Course Project Part 1—Identifying a Researchable Problem.docx
1. Project: Course Project: Part 1—Identifying a Researchable
Problem
One of the most challenging aspects of EBP is to actually
identify the answerable question.
—Karen Sue Davies
Formulating a question that targets the goal of your research is
a challenging but essential task. The question plays a crucial
role in all other aspects of the research, including the
determination of the research design and theoretical perspective
to be applied, which data will be collected, and which tools will
be used for analysis. It is therefore essential to take the time to
ensure that the research question addresses what you actually
want to study. Doing so will increase your likelihood of
obtaining meaningful results.
In this first component of the Course Project, you formulate
questions to address a particular nursing issue or problem. You
use the PICOT model—patient/population, intervention/issue,
comparison, and outcome—outlined in the Learning Resources
to design your questions.
To prepare:
Review the article,
“Formulating the Evidence Based Practice Question: A Review
of the Frameworks,”
found in the Learning Resources for this week. Focus on the
PICOT model for guiding the development of research
questions.
Review the section beginning on page 75 of the course text,
titled, “Developing and Refining Research Problems” in the
course text
2. ,( Marquis & Huston) which focuses on analyzing the feasibility
of a research problem.
Reflect on an issue or problem that you have noticed in your
nursing practice. Consider the significance of this issue or
problem.
(Refer to the PICOT question you earlier formulated for me on
handwashing)
Generate at
least five questions
that relate to the issue which you have identified. Use the
criteria in your course text to select one question that would be
most appropriate in terms of significance, feasibility, and
interest.
Be prepared to explain your rationale
.
Formulate a preliminary PICO question—one that is
answerable—based on your analysis. What are the PICO
variables (patient/population, intervention/issue, comparison,
and outcome) for this question? (once again refer to the PICO
question you earlier formulated for me on:
Does hand washing and appropriate staff dressing among the
surgical ward nurses reduce cross infection during patient
management)
Note:
Not all of these variables may be appropriate to every question.
Be sure to analyze which are and are not relevant to your
specific question.
Using the PICOT variables that you determined for your
question,
develop a list of at least 10 keywords that could be used when
conducting a literature search to investigate current research
pertaining to the question.
To complete:
Write a
3. 4-page paper that includes the following:
(1) A summary of your area of interest, an identification of the
problem that you have selected, and an explanation of the
significance of this problem for nursing practice
(2) The 5 questions you have generated and a description of
how you analyzed them for feasibility
(3) Your preliminary PICOT question and a description of each
PICOT variable relevant to your question
(4) At least 10 possible keywords that could be used when
conducting a literature search for your PICOT question and a
rationale for your selections
