· Nasser, you have some instructional components within your training plan. Unfortunately, the plan lacks detail and specific materials you would use to implement this plan. You could strengthen your plan by including the specific communication plan, assessment tools, and evaluation rubrics that you would use with the students. You mentioned generalities of instruction, but you did not include the specifics of how instruction would be implemented. What does "Pragmatic practices on basic principles of engineering statics" mean? How is this taught? What does this look like? Your assessment should be presented. For example, you noted that "Theoretical studies to be evaluate through continuous assessment exams (CAT) which should be administered twice in a semester.." You should include the specific exam with your plan. These items could be created and included, to strengthen your overall training presentation

The Fight against Childhood Obesity
America’s children are growing, not in height or intel
lectual capacity but in weight. Advertising of fast food
and highly processed, corn syrup—laced foods is at the
heart of the controversy. While TV advertising of food
and restaurants has dropped 34 percent from 1977 to
2004, the use of the internet, promotions, school adver
tising and vending machines, and sponsored sports sta
diums is on the rise. Childhood obesity has become such
a concern that First Lady Michelle Obama has created
the movement Let’s Movel to encourage the develop
ment of a healthier generation of children. Regulators,
parents, and our society in general are concerned about
the health of our children, It is estimated that medi
cal costs associated with childhood obesity will total
$19,000 over a person’s lifetime.
Studies conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation
have found that the average child sees around 40,000
advertisements per year on television—most of these
encourage children to consume candy, cereal, fast food,
and soft drinks. What seems to be particularly prob
lematic is the use of popular licensed children’s cartoon
characters (e.g., SpongeBob SquarePants and Scooby
Doo) to advertise these unhealthy foods. Critics believe
food manufacturers are not being socially responsible
by encouraging children to eat food that is detrimental
to their health. Companies are choosing to do some
thing about this problem.
A study over a five-year period revealed that
16 major food and beverage companies—including
PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, and Bumble Bee Foods—have
reduced calories in foods amounting to an average of
78 calories a day from the American diet. For instance,
Nestlé used new technology to reduce fat by half and
calories by one-third in their “Slow Churned” Edy’s and
Dreyer’s ice cream. What is especially important is that
these 16 companies account for about 36 percent of
calories in packaged foods.
Changes are also being made in advertising. The
Walt Disney Company mandated that the company will
no longer allow sponsorships or advertisements on its
networks for foods that do not meet certain nutritional
criteria. It also pledged to reduce the calories in foods
sold at its theme parks. Coca- ...

A L B E R T E L L I S
ALBERT ELLIS (1913–2007)
was born in Pittsburgh but
escaped to the wilds of New
York at the age of 4 and lived
there (except for a year in New
Jersey) for the rest of his life. He
was hospitalized nine times as
a child, mainly with nephritis,
and developed renal glycosuria
at the age of 19 and diabetes at the age of 40. By rigor-
ously taking care of his health and stubbornly refusing
to make himself miserable about it, he lived an unusually
robust and energetic life, until his death at age 93.
Realizing that he could counsel people skillfully and
that he greatly enjoyed doing so, Ellis decided to become
a psychologist. Believing psychoanalysis to be the
deepest form of psychotherapy, Ellis was analyzed and
supervised by a training analyst. He then practiced psy-
choanalytically oriented psychotherapy, but eventually
he became disillusioned with the slow progress of his cli-
ents. He observed that they improved more quickly once
they changed their ways of thinking about themselves
and their problems. Early in 1955 he developed rational
emotive behavior therapy (REBT). Ellis has rightly been
called the “grandfather of cognitive behavior therapy.”
Until his illness during the last two years of his life, he
generally worked 16 hours a day, seeing many clients for
individual therapy, making time each day for professional
writing, and giving numerous talks and workshops in
many parts of the world.
To some extent Ellis developed his approach as a
method of dealing with his own problems during his
youth. At one point in his life, for example, he had exag-

P: First tiem I used every day, I’d met a girl, she was ten years older than me, I was twenty, she was thirty
Jm: so that’s eight years ago was it?
P: yeah yeah, met her, what happened, she had had a previous two year heroin addiction, and up to that period I had tried it but I’d never smoked it everyday, but she had obviously, and for six weeks, after meeting her we were smoking it everyday, and I’d said to her I don’t understand how people get addicted to this stuff, people must be weak, I mean I don’t understand how they’re getting addicted to this stuff, and after six weeks, what happened is I woke up and realised I’d lost all this weight, I hadn’t been to the toilet for six weeks, and also, I really really needed to go to the toilet, and I didn’t know what the feeling of clucking was, if you see what I mean, what the sensations and that felt like, and you know I can remember that very first day vividly, /just feeling that pain and the want for heroin like, erm it’s hard to explain what it feels like, erm it’s like a rushing on your mind, you can’t stop thinking about it, I want it, I want it, I want it, so obviously we had to go and score then, but that was when I had my first real feeling of it washing over me, it was actually making me feel better than normal, before previously I was getting a good buzz off it, it was giving me a good buzz like, but fromthat point on it would wash over me where I just used to feel normal again, as in, whereas before, so then my tolerance built up, then my use went up even more, I was smoking like sixty pounds worth a day, and I was committing crimes to like supply that,’
Jm: So you said there was this one day you’d woken up with a habit, had you already realised you’d been using everyday by this point?
P: yeah, yeah,
Jm: can you remember the first time you realised you were using heroin every day?
P: yeah
Jm: can you remember where you were at this time?
P: lying in bed
Jm: and do you remember exactly what you thought when you realised this?
P: I thought I gotta go and buy heroin, I gotta go and get some heroin
Jm: you said there were other times you were using every day
P: I was using every day, and I thought it was addictive, I thought it wasn’t physically addictive, I thought must have been a mentally addictive drug, and then all of a sudden I had the physical withdrawals, I realised that I was physically addicted to it,
Jm: so you woke up and felt you needed to go and get some, did you have any other thoughts about it? Like fuck I need to sort myself out?
P: yeah, basically
Jm: and when you woke up with that runny nose, was it first of all what’s wrong with me, or was it I know exactly what I need?

and job satisfaction)

Attitudes are evaluative statements and these statements can be favorable or
unfavorable. Individuals’ attitudes at work such as their satisfaction with their jobs
or their commitment to the organization are important because factors like job
satisfaction and organizational commitment can relate to one’s performance at
work.
According to the single component definition, attitudes constitute of only “affect”
or, in other words, of feelings we have about objects, people, or events. This single
component view simplifies things for us as it only refers to “affect” or feelings. We
tend to have complex views about the world but at the same time we want to predict
behavior. We can predict behavior by looking at one’s attitudes through identifying
one’s affect about objects, people, or events.
According to the tri-component view, which represents a more complicated view of
attitudes, attitudes consist of affect, behavior, and cognition. These are the ABC’s of
attitudes. According to this view or definition, affect includes how you feel,
behavior includes how you behave (how you behave is considered as part of your
attitude), and cognition includes your thoughts, your rationalizations. According to
the tri-component view of attitudes, one’s attitudes include one’s affect, behaviors,
and cognitions about objects, people, or events. For example, you may hate your job
(negative affect), but you may show up at work (behavior) not to get fired. You
might also have these cognitions that say “I should be happy to get this job…”. As you see in
this example, the components (affect, cognition, and behavior) may not be consistent.
An example where the components (affect, cognition, and behavior) are consistent is the
following: “I like my job (affect), I show up at work (behavior), and work is good for me
because it keeps my mind sharp and allows me to learn new skills, travel, make friends, be a
part of a social community, pay for my bills, pay for the things I want to do in my life, and
keeps me active and in the work force. Also, I should be very happy and grateful to have this
job because so many of my friends have been looking for a great job for a long time now.” In
another example, you may like smoking (affect), you may smoke a pack a day (behavior), and
you may have a cognition that says “smoking is good for me because I don’t get overweight”
or “it increases brain activity” (cognition). In both of these examples, the components (affect,
cognition, behavior) are consistent and, therefore, individuals do not experience dissonance.
However, to the extent that these components are not consistent, individuals experience
dissonance, in others words, an aversive mental state (which will be discussed in later s ...

following: “I like my job (affect), I show up at work (behavior), and work is good for me
because it keeps my mind sharp and allows me to learn new skills, travel, make friends, be a
part of a social community, pay for my bills, pay for the things I want to do in my life, and
keeps me active and in the work force. Also, I should be very happy and grateful to have this
job because so many of my friends have been looking for a great job for a long time now.” In
another example, you may like smoking (affect), you may smoke a pack a day (behavior), and
you may have a cognition that says “smoking is good for me because I don’t get overweight”
or “it increases brain activity” (cognition). In both of these examples, the components (affect,
cognition, behavior) are consistent and, therefore, individuals do not experience dissonance.
However, to the extent that these components are not consistent, individuals experience
dissonance, in others words, an aversive mental state (which will be discussed in later s ...

The COVID-19 has affected over 45 million in the United States and has led to over seven hundred and forty thousand deaths across the United States. The pandemic has increasingly affected all individuals and has led to various economic as well as social changes. However, there have been some health disparities identified with people of color being among the most affected individuals (Reyes, 2020). Nurses are at the frontline of providing health care services to individuals that have been infected by the virus. Therefore, as a nurse, I have come across various COVID-19 cases where the patient needed to be observed or there was a need to manage the condition.
One case was that of a middle-aged pregnant woman that had contracted the virus. The symptoms started as headaches and feeling tired. She stated that she initially assumed these symptoms as normal pregnancy symptoms as she had earlier on in the week engaged in some intensive exercises as she went shopping with some family members. However, one evening she had some challenges breathing and her family members rushed her to the hospital. She had to be put on oxygen as she needed support breathing. She was given a PCR test that turned out to be negative. However, the fact that she needed to be on oxygen necessitated another test which also read negative. At this point, it was crucial that a chest scan be done to help with the diagnosis. Upon the scan, the physician diagnosed the patient with COVID-19. Her condition quickly deteriorated and she had to be put in intensive care. It was especially challenging caring for her given that she was seven months pregnant at the time. At one point, the family had contemplated terminating the pregnancy to increase her chances of surviving given that fetal movements had subsided for a while. However, after a few weeks in the intensive care unit, she made a full recovery and was able to deliver her baby full-term. She remained on oxygen and under observation until ...
· You have choices. You should answer three of the four available LesleyWhitesidefv
· You have choices. You should answer three of the four available short answer questions and one of the two essay questions. Please label each response (e.g., Short Answer 3) to indicate what question you are responding to. Please also sort your short answer responses in numerical order (so 1,2,4 if those are the three questions you answer – even if you prepared them in 4,1,2 order).
PART ONE: Answer three of the following four short answer questions. Be sure to label your answers with the question number and arrange them in question order number. A target range for responses to these questions is approximately 250 words.
Short Answer 1
History depends on the choice to narrate certain facts and omit others. All histories are incomplete, which makes the act of writing history both powerful and creative. Why does the distinction between “what happened” and “what is said to have happened” matter?
Short Answer 2
What is the “Great Man Myth” and how does that lens shape what histories get told? What histories get omitted when we focus on the Great Man Myth? Incorporate examples from at least one media technology to help support your answer.
Short Answer 3
In “The Case of the Telegraph,” James Carey argued, “The simplest and most important point about the telegraph is that it marked the decisive separation of ‘transportation’ and ‘communication.’” Describe two ideologies that were ushered in by the telegraph and how they changed society. Your answer should consider both the dominant history and also an alternative or counter history for each development.
Short Answer 4
While mainstream history celebrates photography as the first visual medium for objectivity and evidence, counter histories claim that it actually muddied the distinction between objective and subjective knowledge. Explain how photography blurred the distinction between objectivity and subjectivity and how that transmitted and influenced cultural and social ideologies. Provide specific examples to support your argument.
PART TWO: Answer one of the following two essay questions. Be sure to label your answers with the question number and arrange them in question order number.
Your answers should engage these questions at the conceptual level and use specific examples from the media histories we have covered this semester to support your arguments. A target range for this essay response is probably in the 1,200-2,000 word range.
Essay 1
In the first part of the Media Histories course, we have repeatedly turned to Benedict Anderson’s argument about imagined communities:
I propose the following definition of the nation: it is an imagined political community – and imagined as both inherently limited and sovereign.
It is imagined because the members of even the smallest nation will never know most of their fellow-members, meet them, or even hear of them, yet in the minds of each lives the image of their communication…

Abstract
Data mining refers to the application of data analysis techniques with the aim of extracting hidden knowledge from data by
performing the tasks of pattern recognition and predictive modeling. This article describes the application of data mining
techniques on educational data of a higher education institution in Croatia. Data used for the analysis are event logs
downloaded from an e-learning environment of a real e-course. Data mining techniques applied for the research are
cluster analysis and decision tree. The cluster analysis was performed by organizing collections of patterns into groups
based on student behavior similarity in using course materials. Decision tree was the method of interest for generating a
representation of decision-making that allowed defining classes of objects for the purpose of deeper analysis about how
students learned.

Introduction
As you begin to consider the assessment, it would be an excellent choice to complete the Breach of Protected Health Information (PHI) activity. The will support your success with the assessment by creating the opportunity for you to test your knowledge of potential privacy, security, and confidentiality violations of protected health information. The activity is not graded and counts towards course engagement.
Health professionals today are increasingly accountable for the use of protected health information (PHI). Various government and regulatory agencies promote and support privacy and security through a variety of activities. Examples include:
· Meaningful use of electronic health records (EHR).
· Provision of EHR incentive programs through Medicare and Medicaid.
· Enforcement of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) rules.
· Release of educational resources and tools to help providers and hospitals address privacy, security, and confidentiality risks in their practices.
Technological advances, such as the use of social media platforms and applications for patient progress tracking and communication, have provided more access to health information and improved communication between care providers and patients.
At the same time, advances such as these have resulted in more risk for protecting PHI. Nurses typically receive annual training on protecting patient information in their everyday practice. This training usually emphasizes privacy, security, and confidentiality best practices such as:
· Keeping passwords secure.
· Logging out of public computers.
· Sharing patient information only with those directly providing care or who have been granted permission to receive this information.
Today, one of the major risks associated with privacy and confidentiality of patient identity and data relates to social media. Many nurses and other health care providers place themselves at risk when they use social media or other electronic communication systems inappropriately. For example, a Texas nurse was recently terminated for posting patient vaccination information on Facebook. In another case, a New York nurse was terminated for posting an insensitive emergency department photo on her Instagram account.
Health care providers today must develop their skills in mitigating risks to their patients and themselves related to patient information. At the same time, they need to be able distinguish between effective and ineffective uses of social media in health care.
This assessment will require you to develop a staff update for the interprofessional team to encourage team members to protect the privacy, confidentiality, and security of patient information.

Introduction
Early attempts at quality efforts were limited to the resources, knowledge, and environment in which health care services and treatment were rendered. As medical education and research advanced so did the knowledge of and focus on quality improvement efforts. Basic functions including handwashing and sterile environments were two of the many simple advancements resulting in dramatic improvements in outcomes and overall quality.
Regulatory agencies have directly impacted health care organizations' focus on, and attention to, quality improvement. Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission offers accreditation to various health care organizations who demonstrate compliance with established regulatory standards. Combined with various government agencies, initiatives have been implemented that require health care organizations to report on quality measures, thereby making their quality performance transparent throughout the industry.
As a leader in the health care industry, understanding historical perspectives of quality, regulatory oversight, and medical malpractice will allow you to effectively lead your organization to meet or exceed its strategic goals related to improved outcomes, increased reimbursements, and reduced cost.

1- Analyze the ethical implications of a community health initiative to decrease the rate of teenage pregnancy by means of health education in the public schools. This community takes pride in its schools and is comprised of multiple ethnic, immigrant, religious and social groups. Use the following ethical principles in your analysis: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and justice.
Egalitarian
• The view that everyone is entitled to equal rights and equal treatment. Ideally, each person has an equal share of the goods of society, and it is the role of government to ensure that this happens. The government has the authority to redistribute wealth if necessary to ensure equal treatment. Thus egalitarians support welfare rights—that is, the right to receive certain social goods necessary to satisfy basic needs. These include adequate food, housing, education, and police and fire protection. Both practical and theoretical weaknesses are inherent in egalitarianism.
Libertarian
• The libertarian view of justice advocates for social and economic liberty. While egalitarianism lacks incentives for individuals, libertarianism emphasizes the contribution and merit of individuals (Beauchamp & Childress, 2013).
• Limited role of government
Liberal democratic
Attempts to develop a theory that values both liberty and equality
• Based on Rawl’s Theory of Justice and the “veil of ignorance.” Behind this veil, people (or their representatives) are unaware of social position, race, culture, doctrine, sex, endowments, or any other distinguishing circumstances (Rawls, 2001). This is known as the original position and is an exercise to address the inequalities and bargaining advantages that result from birth, natural endowments, and historical circumstances. Without these inequalities, all people are free and equal and can work together as citizens to decide what is fair and therefore just. Once impartiality is guaranteed, Rawls suggests all rational people will choose a system of justice containing the following two principles:
• Each person has the same claim to a fully adequate scheme of equal basic liberties, and this scheme is compatible with the same scheme of liberties for all.
• Social and economic inequalities are to satisfy two conditions: first, they are to be attached to offices and positions open all under conditions of fair equality of opportunity; and second, they are to be to the greatest benefit to the least advantaged members of society (the difference principle).
Box 7.2
Ethical Principles
Respect for autonomy: Based on human dignity and respect for individuals, autonomy requires that individuals be permitted to choose those actions and goals that fulfill their life plans unless those choices result in harm to another.
Nonmaleficence: Nonmaleficence requires that we do no harm. It is impossible to avoid harm entirely, but t ...

More and more science teachers are integrating perfor-mance assessment tasks into their lessons. These tasks are a means of assessing conceptual understanding while
providing students with various opportunities to demonstrate
learning outcomes. Performance assessment tasks typically
engage students in authentic, real-world, hands-on learning
situations and impose high cognitive demands resulting in
meaningful learning (Darling-Hammond 2004). Information
gleaned from performance assessments not only support sci-
ence teachers’ understandings of the strengths and weaknesses
of the students but also guide their instruction in ways that will
develop the knowledge and mental skills required to construct
appropriate mental models for authentic performance situa-

that may be observed and/or a tangible product that may be
examined (Bass, Contant, and Carin 2009). Examples include
oral presentations, debates, exhibits, written products, con-
struction of models, and solutions to problems. In creating ef-

Problem-Solving Application Case—
Incentives Gone Wrong, then Wrong
Again, and Wrong Again
The Wells Fargo scandal demonstrates how a company’s choice and implementation of performance management incentives can have
disastrous side effects. This activity is important because it illustrates why managers must never implement an incentive scheme without
considering as much as possible any and all effects that it may have on employees’ behavior.
The goal of this activity is for you to understand the link between the details of Wells Fargo’s incentive scheme and the employee behaviors that
resulted from it.
Read about how performance incentives led to scandal at Wells Fargo. Then, using the three-step problem-solving approach, answer the
questions that follow.
Money is an important tool for both attracting and motivating talent. If you owned a company or were its CEO, you would likely agree and
choose performance management practices to deliver such outcomes. It also is possible you’d use incentives to help align your employees’
interests, behaviors, and performance with those of the company. After all, countless companies have used incentives very successfully, but not
all. The incentives used by Wells Fargo had disastrous consequences for employees, customers, and the company itself.

Lesson Introduction
After reading this week’s materials, you will be able to define the role of police patrol and its importance as applied to law enforcement intelligence.
Lesson Objectives
● Outline and discuss early police and patrol procedures
● Evaluate modern patrol allocations
Course Objectives that apply to this lesson:
CO: (3) Demonstrate an understanding of the history of police patrol procedures from the days of early policing to modern day policing allocations.
Patrol
There are many ways to determine the best way to allocate patrol resources in a community. Some of them are covered in our studies but that is not the whole story. Keep in mind that it is more likely to be a combination of models as well as a sensitivity to specific to regional and demographic considerations.
It is important to take many variables into consideration when determining how best to utilize patrols. At the same time, we must remember to expect the unexpected and be as prepared as possible to respond. No two situations, weeks, months, or years will ever be exactly the same. This is part of what makes a career in criminal justice such a challenge and also so rewarding.
In the early 1900’s and before the work of August Vollmer, there was not much information concerning police allocation. Vollmer created a list of police functions such as crime prevention, criminal investigation, traffic control, and patrol. In the early deployment allocation models, the police were distributed based on calls for service and officer workloads. Although what appeared to be effective at the time, more research began to see potential issues with this model such as police saturation may cause a higher number of arrests. Other departments in this time frame distributed patrol units evenly without taking into account other factors such as crimes, population, distance, or number of personnel.
Preventative Patrol
As police operations moved forward, other methods of deployment emerged. In the 1960’s, law enforcement professional started to shift focus on preventative patrol methods. As discussed in previous lessons, t ...

The objects of action and perception

Abstract
Two major functions of the visual system are discussed and contrasted. One function of
vision is the creation of an internal model or percept of the external world. Most research in
object perception has concentrated on this aspect of vision. Vision also guides the control of
object-directed action. In the latter case, vision directs our actions with respect to the world by
transforming visual inputs into appropriate motor outputs. We argue that separate, but inter-
active, visual systems have evolved for the perception of objects on the one hand and the
control of actions directed at those objects on the other. This ‘duplex’ approach to high-level
vision suggests that Marrian or ‘reconstructive’ approaches and Gibsonian or ‘purposive-
animate-behaviorist’ approaches need not be seen as mutually exclusive, but rather as com-
plementary in their emphases on different aspects of visual function. 1998 Elsevier Science

1. Introduction
It is a common assertion that the fundamental task of vision is to construct a
representation of the three-dimensional layout of the world and the objects and
events within it. But such an assertion begs at least two fundamental and interrelated
questions. First, what is vision? Second, what is the nature of the representation that
vision delivers? These questions, which are central to the entire research enterprise
in understanding human vision, form the framework for the present paper. In
attempting to answer these questions, we will contrast what we believe are two
major functions of the visual system. One function of vision is the creation of an
internal model or percept of the external world – a model that can be used in the

Worldview & Decision-Making
The sudden neurological injury that is not likely to recover puts the person in denial if the person is somewhat conscious. It is hard to accept for even family that sudden change in care given stage. Those patients have physical problems like paralysis of facial muscles or losing sensation in the face, altered sense of smell or taste, loss of vision, swallowing difficulties, dizziness, ringing in the ear, and hearing loss. They also have altered consciousness, intellectual problems, cognitive problems, Executive functioning problems, communication problems, behavioral changes, emotional changes, sensory problems, and degenerative issues.
The majority of persons who have suffered substantial brain damage will need rehabilitation. They may have to relearn basic abilities like walking and to talk. The objective is to increase their ability to carry out everyday tasks. Rehabilitation includes a group of people who master different specialties to help patients maintain living activity. An occupational therapist, who supports the person learning, relearn or improving skills to perform everyday activities—a physical therapist who helps with mobility and relearning movement patterns, balance, and walking. The social worker or case manager facilitates access to service agencies, assists with care decisions and planning, and facilitates communication among various professionals, care providers, and family members. A rehabilitation nurse assists with discharge planning from a hospital or rehabilitation center by providing continuous rehabilitation care and services. Speech and language therapist supports the person to improve communication skills and use assistive communication devices if necessary. A recreational therapist helps the patient with Time management and leisure activities. We can also use music therapy and aroma therapy to relax patients who face incurable health conditions.

Values and Moral Survey of Students
SCORING AND INTERPRETATION: If trying to rank in order these fifteen values and morals was difficult and you felt that it was somewhat arbitrary; it was. Without the proper context, exact meaning of each, and the problem of one concept being like others, everyone gets frustrated with this exercise. To be sure, this exercise does not tell you what your real morals or values are. Rather, it is a crude representation of what they might be. At the end of the simulation, compare what you ranked as important to what your decisions were. The following are vague descriptions of the fifteen values and morals:
ASSISTANCE: The act of helping or assisting someone or the help supplied.
CANDOR: Freedom from prejudice or malice.
CHARACTER: Someone with moral excellence.
CHARITY: Generosity and helpfulness, especially toward the needy or suffering.
COMPASSION: Sympathetic consciousness of others' distress with a desire to alleviate it.
ENVIRONMENT: Concern about the world's resources (land, water, air).
EXACTING IN TRUTH: Rigid or severe in demands or requirements.
FAIRNESS: Free from bias or injustice; evenhandedness.
HONESTY: Sincerity, frankness, freedom from deceit or fraud.
INTEGRITY: Firm adherence to a code of values; incorruptibility.
PERSEVERANCE: To do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition.
SACRIFICE: Surrender of something for the sake of something else.
SERIOUSNESS: Thoughtful in appearance or manner; requiring much thought or work relating to a matter of importance.
TOLERANCE: Sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own.
TRUTHFULNESS: Corresponding with reality.

Primary Care Nurse practitioner (NP) Role vs. APN Roles
Compare the primary care NP role with other APN roles. What are the similarities among the roles, what are the differences, and how would you communicate the role to a healthcare provider and a consumer?
The advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) has different roles and responsibilities that nurses can undertake depending on the nature of their training. An APRN can also be referred to as a nurse practitioner (NP). There are other designated roles other than the NP such as the clinical nurse specialist (CNS), the certified nurse-midwives (CNM), and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) (Everett et al., 2016). These roles have similarities and differences and many cases of overlapping responsibilities and in some cases, the need for collaboration to achieve the desired patient outcomes. The primary care NP is a specific role within the purview of NPs in which the provider is a general practitioner without any specialty training (Butler et al., 2017). The NP has roles such as completing patient assessments including conducting a physical examination. The primary care NP can also undertake diagnostic approaches such as ordering lab works and imaging procedures and providing appropriate interpretation. The NP can provide treatment and monitoring of the patient and also provide health education and other primary prevention measures.
One similarity of the role of primary NP to other APRN roles is that they have the scope to conduct independent patient assessments. All roles of the APRN have the scope of taking the patient's history, conducting a proper physical exam, and ensuring an appropriate differential diagnosis (Phillips, 2016). The APRN has completed competencies in the assessment of the patient and he/she can use these competencies to determine and fulfill patient needs. Another similarity of the role of the primary care NP to other APRNs is the role of providing patient education, mentoring, and advocating for the needs of the patient (Hanks et al., 2018). Each APRN has a responsibility to empower the patient by providing health education about their condition or the treatment process to support their autonomy. The patient is the primary decision-maker in the clinical area and providing them with education supports their ability to make proper healthcare decisions.
The role of the primary care NP is different from the role of certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) in the sense of anesthesia and pain management. The CRNA is a specialist in pre, intra and post-operative pain and anesthesia management and this is a role that the NP does not have scope for (Butler et al., 2017). Th ...

· Why would the researcher want to use a sample or a population in this study
· When responding to your classmates' posts, comment on the examples that they provided to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of a sample compared to a population. What advantages and disadvantages can you add
· Do you agree with your classmates regarding what should be used in this study—a sample or a population, Comment on the reasons they provided and explain why you agree or disagree with them.
CLASSMATE REPSONE:
The critical piece here is that the sample must represent the population.
If my population is high school students in Florida and my population comes from the local high school, does the sample represent the same kids as those who attend high school in Miami on the other side of the state, Probably not. If I sample only those in the 9th grade, does this represent "high school students" in Florida or even in the same high school, No, because 9th graders may not be like 12 graders.
It is a natural tendency to think of population as "everyone." but it may be a single school, a single grade or program at a school, a single business,a community, a state, people that represent a specific identity within a specific community, etc.

Do you recommend that the data analyst examine aggregate data, detailed data, or both, to investigate this quality issue? Please explain your rationale.
As a data analyst, I believe that in this situation, when the goal is to enhance quality, the analyst should analyze aggregate data as well as more specific data. The "large picture" may be gained through aggregating data (Campbell, 2018). Big thinkers notice possibilities and take advantage of them. For the sake of profit, they're prepared to take risks. Detailed data analysis would reveal where and why procedures failed. It is considerably more intriguing to look at transactional data than it is to put them into demographic categories (Campbell, 2018).
Do you recommend that the data analyst use a retrospective data warehouse, clinical data store, or both, to investigate the mortality rate? Please explain your rationale.
According to Campbell (2018), medical trial data collection is currently a time-consuming, error-prone, and sometimes incomplete process due to the complexity of the data. To increase data quality and minimize data collecting times, new and more reliable procedures are required if info ...

Culturally Competent
The COVID-19 has affected over 45 million in the United States and has led to over seven hundred and forty thousand deaths across the United States. The pandemic has increasingly affected all individuals and has led to various economic as well as social changes. However, there have been some health disparities identified with people of color being among the most affected individuals (Reyes, 2020). Nurses are at the frontline of providing health care services to individuals that have been infected by the virus. Therefore, as a nurse, I have come across various COVID-19 cases where the patient needed to be observed or there was a need to manage the condition.
One case was that of a middle-aged pregnant woman that had contracted the virus. The symptoms started as headaches and feeling tired. She stated that she initially assumed these symptoms as normal pregnancy symptoms as she had earlier on in the week engaged in some intensive exercises as she went shopping with some family members. However, one evening she had some challenges breathing and her family members rushed her to the hospital. She had to be put on oxygen as she needed support breathing. She was given a PCR test that turned out to be negative. However, the fact that she needed to be on oxygen necessitated another test which also read negative. At this point, it was crucial that a chest scan be done to help with the diagnosis. Upon the scan, the physician diagnosed the patient with COVID-19. Her condition quickly deteriorated and she had to be put in intensive care. It was especially challenging caring for her given that she was seven months pregnant at the time. At one point, the family had contemplated terminating the pregnancy to increase her chances of surviving given that fetal movements had subsided for a while. However, after a few weeks in the intensive care unit, she made a full recovery and was able to deliver her baby full-term. She remained on oxygen and under observation until ...
· You have choices. You should answer three of the four available LesleyWhitesidefv
· You have choices. You should answer three of the four available short answer questions and one of the two essay questions. Please label each response (e.g., Short Answer 3) to indicate what question you are responding to. Please also sort your short answer responses in numerical order (so 1,2,4 if those are the three questions you answer – even if you prepared them in 4,1,2 order).
PART ONE: Answer three of the following four short answer questions. Be sure to label your answers with the question number and arrange them in question order number. A target range for responses to these questions is approximately 250 words.
Short Answer 1
History depends on the choice to narrate certain facts and omit others. All histories are incomplete, which makes the act of writing history both powerful and creative. Why does the distinction between “what happened” and “what is said to have happened” matter?
Short Answer 2
What is the “Great Man Myth” and how does that lens shape what histories get told? What histories get omitted when we focus on the Great Man Myth? Incorporate examples from at least one media technology to help support your answer.
Short Answer 3
In “The Case of the Telegraph,” James Carey argued, “The simplest and most important point about the telegraph is that it marked the decisive separation of ‘transportation’ and ‘communication.’” Describe two ideologies that were ushered in by the telegraph and how they changed society. Your answer should consider both the dominant history and also an alternative or counter history for each development.
Short Answer 4
While mainstream history celebrates photography as the first visual medium for objectivity and evidence, counter histories claim that it actually muddied the distinction between objective and subjective knowledge. Explain how photography blurred the distinction between objectivity and subjectivity and how that transmitted and influenced cultural and social ideologies. Provide specific examples to support your argument.
PART TWO: Answer one of the following two essay questions. Be sure to label your answers with the question number and arrange them in question order number.
Your answers should engage these questions at the conceptual level and use specific examples from the media histories we have covered this semester to support your arguments. A target range for this essay response is probably in the 1,200-2,000 word range.
Essay 1
In the first part of the Media Histories course, we have repeatedly turned to Benedict Anderson’s argument about imagined communities:
I propose the following definition of the nation: it is an imagined political community – and imagined as both inherently limited and sovereign.
It is imagined because the members of even the smallest nation will never know most of their fellow-members, meet them, or even hear of them, yet in the minds of each lives the image of their communication…

Abstract
Data mining refers to the application of data analysis techniques with the aim of extracting hidden knowledge from data by
performing the tasks of pattern recognition and predictive modeling. This article describes the application of data mining
techniques on educational data of a higher education institution in Croatia. Data used for the analysis are event logs
downloaded from an e-learning environment of a real e-course. Data mining techniques applied for the research are
cluster analysis and decision tree. The cluster analysis was performed by organizing collections of patterns into groups
based on student behavior similarity in using course materials. Decision tree was the method of interest for generating a
representation of decision-making that allowed defining classes of objects for the purpose of deeper analysis about how
students learned.

Introduction
As you begin to consider the assessment, it would be an excellent choice to complete the Breach of Protected Health Information (PHI) activity. The will support your success with the assessment by creating the opportunity for you to test your knowledge of potential privacy, security, and confidentiality violations of protected health information. The activity is not graded and counts towards course engagement.
Health professionals today are increasingly accountable for the use of protected health information (PHI). Various government and regulatory agencies promote and support privacy and security through a variety of activities. Examples include:
· Meaningful use of electronic health records (EHR).
· Provision of EHR incentive programs through Medicare and Medicaid.
· Enforcement of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) rules.
· Release of educational resources and tools to help providers and hospitals address privacy, security, and confidentiality risks in their practices.
Technological advances, such as the use of social media platforms and applications for patient progress tracking and communication, have provided more access to health information and improved communication between care providers and patients.
At the same time, advances such as these have resulted in more risk for protecting PHI. Nurses typically receive annual training on protecting patient information in their everyday practice. This training usually emphasizes privacy, security, and confidentiality best practices such as:
· Keeping passwords secure.
· Logging out of public computers.
· Sharing patient information only with those directly providing care or who have been granted permission to receive this information.
Today, one of the major risks associated with privacy and confidentiality of patient identity and data relates to social media. Many nurses and other health care providers place themselves at risk when they use social media or other electronic communication systems inappropriately. For example, a Texas nurse was recently terminated for posting patient vaccination information on Facebook. In another case, a New York nurse was terminated for posting an insensitive emergency department photo on her Instagram account.
Health care providers today must develop their skills in mitigating risks to their patients and themselves related to patient information. At the same time, they need to be able distinguish between effective and ineffective uses of social media in health care.
This assessment will require you to develop a staff update for the interprofessional team to encourage team members to protect the privacy, confidentiality, and security of patient information.

Introduction
Early attempts at quality efforts were limited to the resources, knowledge, and environment in which health care services and treatment were rendered. As medical education and research advanced so did the knowledge of and focus on quality improvement efforts. Basic functions including handwashing and sterile environments were two of the many simple advancements resulting in dramatic improvements in outcomes and overall quality.
Regulatory agencies have directly impacted health care organizations' focus on, and attention to, quality improvement. Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission offers accreditation to various health care organizations who demonstrate compliance with established regulatory standards. Combined with various government agencies, initiatives have been implemented that require health care organizations to report on quality measures, thereby making their quality performance transparent throughout the industry.
As a leader in the health care industry, understanding historical perspectives of quality, regulatory oversight, and medical malpractice will allow you to effectively lead your organization to meet or exceed its strategic goals related to improved outcomes, increased reimbursements, and reduced cost.

1- Analyze the ethical implications of a community health initiative to decrease the rate of teenage pregnancy by means of health education in the public schools. This community takes pride in its schools and is comprised of multiple ethnic, immigrant, religious and social groups. Use the following ethical principles in your analysis: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and justice.
Egalitarian
• The view that everyone is entitled to equal rights and equal treatment. Ideally, each person has an equal share of the goods of society, and it is the role of government to ensure that this happens. The government has the authority to redistribute wealth if necessary to ensure equal treatment. Thus egalitarians support welfare rights—that is, the right to receive certain social goods necessary to satisfy basic needs. These include adequate food, housing, education, and police and fire protection. Both practical and theoretical weaknesses are inherent in egalitarianism.
Libertarian
• The libertarian view of justice advocates for social and economic liberty. While egalitarianism lacks incentives for individuals, libertarianism emphasizes the contribution and merit of individuals (Beauchamp & Childress, 2013).
• Limited role of government
Liberal democratic
Attempts to develop a theory that values both liberty and equality
• Based on Rawl’s Theory of Justice and the “veil of ignorance.” Behind this veil, people (or their representatives) are unaware of social position, race, culture, doctrine, sex, endowments, or any other distinguishing circumstances (Rawls, 2001). This is known as the original position and is an exercise to address the inequalities and bargaining advantages that result from birth, natural endowments, and historical circumstances. Without these inequalities, all people are free and equal and can work together as citizens to decide what is fair and therefore just. Once impartiality is guaranteed, Rawls suggests all rational people will choose a system of justice containing the following two principles:
• Each person has the same claim to a fully adequate scheme of equal basic liberties, and this scheme is compatible with the same scheme of liberties for all.
• Social and economic inequalities are to satisfy two conditions: first, they are to be attached to offices and positions open all under conditions of fair equality of opportunity; and second, they are to be to the greatest benefit to the least advantaged members of society (the difference principle).
Box 7.2
Ethical Principles
Respect for autonomy: Based on human dignity and respect for individuals, autonomy requires that individuals be permitted to choose those actions and goals that fulfill their life plans unless those choices result in harm to another.
Nonmaleficence: Nonmaleficence requires that we do no harm. It is impossible to avoid harm entirely, but t ...

Describe how you might use a summative performance-based assessment in Field Assignment 2, being specific about what you are assessing (e.g., science topic, science skill).
· Castaneda and Bautista (2011) address growing concerns of assessment surrounding ELLs, focusing on the need to evaluate students based on their level of language proficiency. This is rooted in the need to differentiate not only our instruction, but our assessments. In order to do this, the authors propose four strategies. Consider your future teaching and describe how you plan to address each of these four strategies to assess your ELL students based on their level of language proficiency. To contextualize your response, focus on your upcoming Field Assignment 2 - describe your assessment plan for ELLs for that particular lesson.

performance
assessment tasks.
More and more science teachers are integrating perfor-mance assessment tasks into their lessons. These tasks are a means of assessing conceptual understanding while
providing students with various opportunities to demonstrate
learning outcomes. Performance assessment tasks typically
engage students in authentic, real-world, hands-on learning
situations and impose high cognitive demands resulting in
meaningful learning (Darling-Hammond 2004). Information
gleaned from performance assessments not only support sci-
ence teachers’ understandings of the strengths and weaknesses
of the students but also guide their instruction in ways that will
develop the knowledge and mental skills required to construct
appropriate mental models for authentic performance situa-
tions. Performance assessment tasks comprise a performance
that may be observed and/or a tangible product that may be
examined (Bass, Contant, and Carin 2009). Examples include
oral presentations, debates, exhibits, written products, con-
struction of models, and solutions to problems. In creating ef-
fective performance tasks, science teachers should consider the
following factors: the focus of the task, the context of the task,
directions provided for the students and the rubric used for as-
sessment. The focus of the assessment task should be closely
aligned with the learning objectives and the context should

Criticism
“Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person’s precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment. …. Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain—and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.”
People are Emotional
“When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.”
The Key to Influencing Others
“The only way on earth to influence other people is to talk about what they want and show them how to get it.”

Problem-Solving Application Case—
Incentives Gone Wrong, then Wrong
Again, and Wrong Again
The Wells Fargo scandal demonstrates how a company’s choice and implementation of performance management incentives can have
disastrous side effects. This activity is important because it illustrates why managers must never implement an incentive scheme without
considering as much as possible any and all effects that it may have on employees’ behavior.
The goal of this activity is for you to understand the link between the details of Wells Fargo’s incentive scheme and the employee behaviors that
resulted from it.
Read about how performance incentives led to scandal at Wells Fargo. Then, using the three-step problem-solving approach, answer the
questions that follow.
Money is an important tool for both attracting and motivating talent. If you owned a company or were its CEO, you would likely agree and
choose performance management practices to deliver such outcomes. It also is possible you’d use incentives to help align your employees’
interests, behaviors, and performance with those of the company. After all, countless companies have used incentives very successfully, but not
all. The incentives used by Wells Fargo had disastrous consequences for employees, customers, and the company itself.

Lesson Introduction
After reading this week’s materials, you will be able to define the role of police patrol and its importance as applied to law enforcement intelligence.
Lesson Objectives
● Outline and discuss early police and patrol procedures
● Evaluate modern patrol allocations
Course Objectives that apply to this lesson:
CO: (3) Demonstrate an understanding of the history of police patrol procedures from the days of early policing to modern day policing allocations.
Patrol
There are many ways to determine the best way to allocate patrol resources in a community. Some of them are covered in our studies but that is not the whole story. Keep in mind that it is more likely to be a combination of models as well as a sensitivity to specific to regional and demographic considerations.
It is important to take many variables into consideration when determining how best to utilize patrols. At the same time, we must remember to expect the unexpected and be as prepared as possible to respond. No two situations, weeks, months, or years will ever be exactly the same. This is part of what makes a career in criminal justice such a challenge and also so rewarding.
In the early 1900’s and before the work of August Vollmer, there was not much information concerning police allocation. Vollmer created a list of police functions such as crime prevention, criminal investigation, traffic control, and patrol. In the early deployment allocation models, the police were distributed based on calls for service and officer workloads. Although what appeared to be effective at the time, more research began to see potential issues with this model such as police saturation may cause a higher number of arrests. Other departments in this time frame distributed patrol units evenly without taking into account other factors such as crimes, population, distance, or number of personnel.
Preventative Patrol
As police operations moved forward, other methods of deployment emerged. In the 1960’s, law enforcement professional started to shift focus on preventative patrol methods. As discussed in previous lessons, t ...

The objects of action and perception

Abstract
Two major functions of the visual system are discussed and contrasted. One function of
vision is the creation of an internal model or percept of the external world. Most research in
object perception has concentrated on this aspect of vision. Vision also guides the control of
object-directed action. In the latter case, vision directs our actions with respect to the world by
transforming visual inputs into appropriate motor outputs. We argue that separate, but inter-
active, visual systems have evolved for the perception of objects on the one hand and the
control of actions directed at those objects on the other. This ‘duplex’ approach to high-level
vision suggests that Marrian or ‘reconstructive’ approaches and Gibsonian or ‘purposive-
animate-behaviorist’ approaches need not be seen as mutually exclusive, but rather as com-
plementary in their emphases on different aspects of visual function. 1998 Elsevier Science

1. Introduction
It is a common assertion that the fundamental task of vision is to construct a
representation of the three-dimensional layout of the world and the objects and
events within it. But such an assertion begs at least two fundamental and interrelated
questions. First, what is vision? Second, what is the nature of the representation that
vision delivers? These questions, which are central to the entire research enterprise
in understanding human vision, form the framework for the present paper. In
attempting to answer these questions, we will contrast what we believe are two
major functions of the visual system. One function of vision is the creation of an
internal model or percept of the external world – a model that can be used in the

Worldview & Decision-Making
The sudden neurological injury that is not likely to recover puts the person in denial if the person is somewhat conscious. It is hard to accept for even family that sudden change in care given stage. Those patients have physical problems like paralysis of facial muscles or losing sensation in the face, altered sense of smell or taste, loss of vision, swallowing difficulties, dizziness, ringing in the ear, and hearing loss. They also have altered consciousness, intellectual problems, cognitive problems, Executive functioning problems, communication problems, behavioral changes, emotional changes, sensory problems, and degenerative issues.
The majority of persons who have suffered substantial brain damage will need rehabilitation. They may have to relearn basic abilities like walking and to talk. The objective is to increase their ability to carry out everyday tasks. Rehabilitation includes a group of people who master different specialties to help patients maintain living activity. An occupational therapist, who supports the person learning, relearn or improving skills to perform everyday activities—a physical therapist who helps with mobility and relearning movement patterns, balance, and walking. The social worker or case manager facilitates access to service agencies, assists with care decisions and planning, and facilitates communication among various professionals, care providers, and family members. A rehabilitation nurse assists with discharge planning from a hospital or rehabilitation center by providing continuous rehabilitation care and services. Speech and language therapist supports the person to improve communication skills and use assistive communication devices if necessary. A recreational therapist helps the patient with Time management and leisure activities. We can also use music therapy and aroma therapy to relax patients who face incurable health conditions.

Values and Moral Survey of Students
SCORING AND INTERPRETATION: If trying to rank in order these fifteen values and morals was difficult and you felt that it was somewhat arbitrary; it was. Without the proper context, exact meaning of each, and the problem of one concept being like others, everyone gets frustrated with this exercise. To be sure, this exercise does not tell you what your real morals or values are. Rather, it is a crude representation of what they might be. At the end of the simulation, compare what you ranked as important to what your decisions were. The following are vague descriptions of the fifteen values and morals:
ASSISTANCE: The act of helping or assisting someone or the help supplied.
CANDOR: Freedom from prejudice or malice.
CHARACTER: Someone with moral excellence.
CHARITY: Generosity and helpfulness, especially toward the needy or suffering.
COMPASSION: Sympathetic consciousness of others' distress with a desire to alleviate it.
ENVIRONMENT: Concern about the world's resources (land, water, air).
EXACTING IN TRUTH: Rigid or severe in demands or requirements.
FAIRNESS: Free from bias or injustice; evenhandedness.
HONESTY: Sincerity, frankness, freedom from deceit or fraud.
INTEGRITY: Firm adherence to a code of values; incorruptibility.
PERSEVERANCE: To do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition.
SACRIFICE: Surrender of something for the sake of something else.
SERIOUSNESS: Thoughtful in appearance or manner; requiring much thought or work relating to a matter of importance.
TOLERANCE: Sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own.
TRUTHFULNESS: Corresponding with reality.

Primary Care Nurse practitioner (NP) Role vs. APN Roles
Compare the primary care NP role with other APN roles. What are the similarities among the roles, what are the differences, and how would you communicate the role to a healthcare provider and a consumer?
The advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) has different roles and responsibilities that nurses can undertake depending on the nature of their training. An APRN can also be referred to as a nurse practitioner (NP). There are other designated roles other than the NP such as the clinical nurse specialist (CNS), the certified nurse-midwives (CNM), and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) (Everett et al., 2016). These roles have similarities and differences and many cases of overlapping responsibilities and in some cases, the need for collaboration to achieve the desired patient outcomes. The primary care NP is a specific role within the purview of NPs in which the provider is a general practitioner without any specialty training (Butler et al., 2017). The NP has roles such as completing patient assessments including conducting a physical examination. The primary care NP can also undertake diagnostic approaches such as ordering lab works and imaging procedures and providing appropriate interpretation. The NP can provide treatment and monitoring of the patient and also provide health education and other primary prevention measures.
One similarity of the role of primary NP to other APRN roles is that they have the scope to conduct independent patient assessments. All roles of the APRN have the scope of taking the patient's history, conducting a proper physical exam, and ensuring an appropriate differential diagnosis (Phillips, 2016). The APRN has completed competencies in the assessment of the patient and he/she can use these competencies to determine and fulfill patient needs. Another similarity of the role of the primary care NP to other APRNs is the role of providing patient education, mentoring, and advocating for the needs of the patient (Hanks et al., 2018). Each APRN has a responsibility to empower the patient by providing health education about their condition or the treatment process to support their autonomy. The patient is the primary decision-maker in the clinical area and providing them with education supports their ability to make proper healthcare decisions.
The role of the primary care NP is different from the role of certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) in the sense of anesthesia and pain management. The CRNA is a specialist in pre, intra and post-operative pain and anesthesia management and this is a role that the NP does not have scope for (Butler et al., 2017). Th ...

· Do you agree with your classmates regarding what should be used in this study—a sample or a population, Comment on the reasons they provided and explain why you agree or disagree with them.
CLASSMATE REPSONE:
The critical piece here is that the sample must represent the population.
If my population is high school students in Florida and my population comes from the local high school, does the sample represent the same kids as those who attend high school in Miami on the other side of the state, Probably not. If I sample only those in the 9th grade, does this represent "high school students" in Florida or even in the same high school, No, because 9th graders may not be like 12 graders.
It is a natural tendency to think of population as "everyone." but it may be a single school, a single grade or program at a school, a single business,a community, a state, people that represent a specific identity within a specific community, etc.

Do you recommend that the data analyst examine aggregate data, detailed data, or both, to investigate this quality issue? Please explain your rationale.
As a data analyst, I believe that in this situation, when the goal is to enhance quality, the analyst should analyze aggregate data as well as more specific data. The "large picture" may be gained through aggregating data (Campbell, 2018). Big thinkers notice possibilities and take advantage of them. For the sake of profit, they're prepared to take risks. Detailed data analysis would reveal where and why procedures failed. It is considerably more intriguing to look at transactional data than it is to put them into demographic categories (Campbell, 2018).
Do you recommend that the data analyst use a retrospective data warehouse, clinical data store, or both, to investigate the mortality rate? Please explain your rationale.

Main feature of the Platform
19. One of the features on the platform is finding colleagues with
similar experiences and problems on social media. The
colleagues are able to gain from learning from each other by
sharing knowledge, ideas, and solutions to problems. The
colleagues become both teachers and students helping one
another to gain more knowledge and skills. This is form of
training and development where new skills are gained as the
colleagues become good at problem solving. They are able to
interact with one another an aspect that helps in building
relations within the organization.
Social Learning
Social learning is described as a continuous learning process
from other people. It is the collection and sharing of
information learned from colleagues and social media (Aaron,
2018). Social learning is an interactive form of learning which
can be effective at the organization. At the workplace people
learn from their colleagues through the use of social
technologies like social media tools. This has an important for
the employees as they are able to take responsibility for their
own learning. Social learning will have a positive impact at the
organization. It will encourage collaboration among teams as
the members are able to share content that is beneficial for the
team. Employees will feel valuable due to social learning. This
is because social learning allows them to either teach or be
taught with everyone being able to contribute to the
organization (Brandi & Elkjaer, 2015).
A social learning component has the ability of changing the
culture of the organization. According to Albert Bandura’s
theory of “Social Learning”, learning is supposed to occur from
observation and modeling the behavior of others. Social
learning can be incorporated in the training to help in modeling
positive behavior at the organization. One of the benefits of
social learning is that it encourages collaboration, teamwork,
and cohesion. These are elements that are effective in
developing and implementing organizational culture. The
20. organization can create a virtual community where knowledge
and ideas are shared. Positive behavior in the virtual community
is encouraged and can change the organizational culture.
Employees learn best through observation and interacting with
one another. When many people engage in a social activity, the
social environment becomes more engaging. At the workplace,
the employee will be able to take control of their learning which
affects the role of the trainer. Typically, the trainer imposes the
time and schedule of training. However, social learning allows
the learner to take control of their own training. This will do
away with the role of the trainer or the trainer will take a
different role of engaging the learner differently from the
traditional approach.
Employees should be held accountable for what they post
online. They should be wary of who sees the content they share
as it may harm their reputation and that of the organization.
They should realize they reflect the business that employs them,
whether within the workplace or outside the workplace (Gomez,
2014). Employee accountability and online reputation can be
addressed through organizational policies. The company should
set guidelines for employees' use of social media before social
media tools are implemented in the organization. The guidelines
will set the expectation that the employee will commit before
the social media tools are implemented. They will set the
standards of behavior, conduct, and performance that the
employees will adhere to while working at the organization.
A social media policy will be able to regulate the employees'
activities while on social media. This will be done before the
organization launches a social learning platform. It will help in
addressing a lot of concerns like responsible use of social media
tools, confidentiality, and privacy. The policy contains the
various rues that the employees will abide to while learning
from their colleagues and social media. The influence of social
media is excellent at the workplace and, if left unregulated,
could have dire consequences for the business (Cilliers, 2013).
21. Benefits and Improvements
An integrated approach to training and professional
development can help in improving interpersonal relationships n
productivity within the organization. The approach ensures the
employees bring prior knowledge and experience to support new
experiences. This allows the learners to apply new skills gained
to new experiences at the organization. An example is learning
about the importance of communication and communication
skills which will allow the employees to use any new knowledge
on the concept. The new knowledge on communication is added
to already existing knowledge on communication and applied to
new experiences at the organization. Communication being one
of the strategies of enhancing interpersonal relations makes it
easier for the management to sustain interpersonal relationships.
Integrated approaches like mentorship and coaching allow the
employees to gain an oversight on various strategies to enhance
productivity. The employees become motivated when working
with mentors and are able to interact with one another hence
improving their interpersonal relationships. They are able to
communicate more often, interact with one another, and
compromise ore. This will improve the productivity at the
workplace. There are more integrated approaches to training
that can help in improving interpersonal relationships and
productivity. The other approaches include; reflective
supervision, technical assistance, and social learning.
Studies have shown that productivity is likely to improve when
people work in teams. Creating a social learning environment at
the workplace helps in building teams and thus supports
teamwork. This environment encourages interaction and
building of relations which are essential for building teams
(Vassileva, 2009). Everyone at the organization is given an
opportunity to teach and be taught. This makes all the
employees feel valuable and important to the organization. This
improves interpersonal relations as the members are able to
frequently interact with each other. Creating a social learning
22. environment at the workplace also creates relationships at the
workplace. The employees are able to connect with each others
as they share ideas, knowledge, and skills.
Creating a social learning environment at the workplace is
based on the “one size fits all” approach. This means that the
approach should cater for the needs of all the employees. This
fails to consider the views of others. It is difficult to measure
social learning because it is about learning from everyone
through observation, listening, and experience. Therefore, the
success of the approach may not be guaranteed for the
organization. The content has to be monitored to ensure the
employees do not go off track. This may prove difficult for the
organization.
The creation of a social learning environment as part of the
overall training is meant to resolve some of the problems facing
the organization. Training and development is done to equip the
employee with knowledge and essential skills to help them
develop. Traditional forms of training fail to offer the
interaction and knowledge sharing that the approach will offer.
The approach allows colleagues to find others who have similar
problems and experiences on social media and share solutions.
The sharing of knowledge is based on experiences the
colleagues have had. They are able to teach each other as they
both become students and teachers at the same time. This allows
for improvements on knowledge sharing and building of
relations within the organization.

Change Process Communication Plan
Nasser Y Miranda
University of Phoenix
Facilitating Change – AET/560
Randy Howell, Ph.d.
October 11, 2021Change Process Communication PlanChange is
difficult for everyone. Many individuals are afraid of change
since it will take them away from their comfortable
surroundings. This can be difficult to manage and combat for
those attempting to effect change in their organizations. On the
other hand, change is an unavoidable part of life, including in
the business world (Torppa & Smith, 2011). When it comes to
workplace change management, having efficient communication
methods and processes in place may help your business
flourish.Change ManagementChange management is a business
term that refers to the strategic planning, procedures, and tools
used to aid in delivering organizational change and assisting
employees in understanding and adapting to the changes made.
It is essentially the act of leading employees through a
transformation process to get them to their desired goal.
Adopting change management practices will help to reduce the
probability of a successful organizational transition (Torppa &
Smith, 2011). It is reasonable to anticipate the need for a
change management plan when embarking on a new project,
system, method, initiative, or policy that has the potential to
disrupt your organization's day-to-day operations.Importance of
Internal Communication During Change ManagementGood
communication is essential, whether restructuring your
business, adopting new technology, or transferring employees.
Communication is critical for effective change management.
One of the most frequent reasons for change management
failure is a communication breakdown. When a company
collapses, it puts itself at grave risk. The following problems
may arise due to a lack of internal communication during
change management: Money and other resources are being
25. squandered, and productivity is at an all-time low (JAKUBIEC,
2019). Failure to adhere to new laws or industry standards may
result in a loss of market share. These events may harm a
person's reputation.Change management communication refers
to the information you give to stakeholders to assist them in
understanding why a change is being implemented and how it
will impact them. Developing a timetable for the shift;
Establishing a conduit for workers to interact with management
and ask questions or give comments (JAKUBIEC, 2019). Timely
transmission of clear, consistent, and relevant information is the
best change management and communication approach. How to
Create A Change Management Communication Strategy
For the change management effort to be effective, a well-
thought-out communication plan for the change process is
required (Castellaneta & Conti, 2017). A communication plan is
a document that may be used to guide an organization through
deciding what information to send when to give it, how to
deliver it, and to whom to provide it throughout a change
management process.
This step-by-step procedure, which incorporates best practices
for change management communication, will help me create a
successful change communication strategy for my business.
Define Communication Objectives Clearly.
I'll need well-defined goals and objectives to be effective in
developing an internal communication strategy. The following
are included: • What am I trying to achieve?
• How will I go about getting it?
• Who will be held accountable?
• How will I know if my venture was a success or a failure?
For example, if I'm upgrading my company's computerized
record-keeping software, I may want to guarantee a smooth data
transfer from the old to the new system. As records are
transferred between the two systems, the transition from the old
to the new system may occur in stages. Workers' ability to
generate and store new records during the change over time will
26. be impacted (Castellaneta & Conti, 2017). Internal
communications aimed at change management may be provided
in collaboration with the information technology department.
The data and types of calls that come into the help desk may
gauge the project's success.
Conduct A Stakeholder Analysis and Create A Target Audience
List.
To begin, I must understand the personalities of the workers and
their desires, wants, concerns, motivators, and dislikes. Also,
keep in mind that the proposed change may have a greater or
lesser impact on specific employee cohorts. It is highly advised
that you develop employee personas, which are fictionalized
depictions of workers with different traits that may help me
predict future actions you will do, including what I say and how
I deliver messages. This information allows me to create
audience segments, which will enable me to provide relevant
information to the right people at the right time. Consider the
following scenario: my company is reorganizing and laying off
employees (Castellaneta & Conti, 2017). Then I could have a
consistent message for the whole business, tailored messages
for individuals laid off, and tailored messages for those whose
employment would be changed due to losing a few critical
colleagues.
Recognize and create critical messages
Now that I've identified my goals and target audience, I can
concentrate on deciding precisely what I want to communicate.
Among other things, I'm pretty sure I'll have some broad,
overarching core themes as well as specialized and targeted
messaging for various stakeholders and target groups.
When I write my message, I will make sure to include the
following information:
• The nature of the change and the people who will be affected.
• Why change is required.
• Where and when the change will occur.
• How the change will be executed.
I must also be concise, clear, and understandable while
27. presenting my critical thoughts as follows.
• Keep your usage of jargon to a bare minimum.
• Written in a friendly, pleasant tone that is simple to read and
comprehend.
• Be honest with yourself.
• Be honest and straightforward.
• Communicate clearly what is happening and the implications
for the business or the individual employee.
• Describe the employee's tasks and responsibilities, as well as
the available resources and support.
When communicating change inside an organization, it is
critical to anticipate and anticipate opposition. Resistance
expresses itself in several ways and is often driven by emotions,
such as apathy, anger, sadness, denial, and resentment, and is
particularly prevalent when some employees get negative news
(Blumenberg, 2021). It is essential that you understand this and
that you are prepared to address it in your response.
Map Out the Distribution Routes.
How will I communicate critical information to my employees?
Different workforce groups have different communication
preferences. I agree that some individuals prefer not to receive
emails, while others want to interact more traditionally
(Blumenberg, 2021). While using multiple channels may help
with information retention, it may also help with message
delivery.
I'm thinking about utilizing several of the change management
communication tools and channels listed below:
• Email - In some instances, individuals prefer to get
information through email; however, this may not be as
effective in others since email overload may result in material
being ignored or rejected.
• Face-to-face communication – Many employees prefer to be
notified of significant changes in person rather than through
email or other contact methods. A supervisor may do this at a
team meeting or via town halls and other educational activities.
• Video material - The vast majority of people would rather
28. watch a video than read the same information on paper. Snippet-
length videos may be a powerful tool for communicating what
my change involves and why it is essential.
• Dedicated intranet area - I will devote a part of your intranet
to the change process and related resources like training tools,
white papers, and fact sheets.
• Forums - This may be a place on my intranet for workers to
debate the change, give comments, and ask questions.
• Discussion boards - This may be a location on my intranet for
workers to debate the transfer, make comments, and ask
questions.
The techniques listed below will be used:
• Digital signage - To emphasize the shift in my workers'
thoughts, I will create messages shown on displays around my
business.
• Corporate screensavers - Like digital signs, corporate
screensavers are shown on employees' computer displays
throughout the day. These work in the same way as digital
signs, except the pictures are shown constantly on workers'
computer screens.
Create Marketing Collateral and Content.
I want to offer a range of tools to assist workers in adapting to
change while also preparing ahead for future content
requirements. The material must also be customized to the
distribution channels I want to use. General notifications,
reminders, instructional resources, and films, as well as
questions and answers, may be included in the messages
(Blumenberg, 2021). My whole resource set must be dedicated
to the change and its consequences for the individual.
Additionally, methods to assist people impacted by the
transition should be created.
Finally, methods for evaluating the success of your change
management internal communication efforts must be included.
While simple observation may indicate whether or not a change
was successfully implemented, you must also evaluate the
efficacy of your message. Data from both quantitative and
29. qualitative sources may be used to assess the campaign
(Blumenberg, 2021). Analyze the data for your resources to see
how often they are utilized and if any patterns develop. There
are many methods for polling your employees.
