Order Instructions: Attached
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?
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:
Restate your PICOT question and its significance to nursing practice.
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.
Explain how the evidence-based practice that you identified contributes to better outcomes. In addition, identify potential negative outcomes that could result from failing to use the evidence-based practice.
Outline the strategy for disseminating the evidence-based practice that you identified throughout your practice setting. Explain how you would communicate the importance of the practice to your colleagues. Describe how you would move from disseminating the information to implementing the evidence-based practice within your organization. How would you address concerns and opposition to the change in practice?It should be combined with the other two components of the Course Project and turned in as your Portfolio Assignment for this course.

Format: Text should be word-processed, with appropriate layout and use of headings/sub
headings. Times New Roman, 12 size font and line spacing (1.5).
Referencing: A minimum of 10 academic references are required. The list of references
should form the last page or two, at the end of the assessment. Referencing should be in a
consistent APA style.
Task Description: The objectives of this reflective essay are for students to (1) summarize,
critically review and reinforce key concepts and theories learned from week 1 to week 9 of this
unit. (2) reflect on these concepts/theories’ potential impact on students’ decision making, and
how these learnings are being applied and could be applied in their current jobs, development
of future career and/or their life generally. (3) reflect on new insights gained about oneself as a
result of learning the unit and propose a plan for self-development.
Minimum number of concepts/theories/themes required to pass: 6
Students ought to start the reflective essay in week 4 after the submission of their first

have inspired their thinking or influenced their decision making. This assignment still
requires an essay format with introduction section outlining the scope, purpose and
structure information. The body paragraphs need to contain at least six themes over the
course of six weeks, and each theme needs to contain a CONVINCING and PERSONAL
justification of why these concepts/theories are chosen and how the mentioned
concepts/theories have changed/might change the students’ thinking or the students’
decisions. For example, students could identify the concepts of “automatic versus critical
thinking” as a theme for one week’s reflection, and illustrate with personal examples how
having learned about the differences has enabled him/her to be more effective in making a
certain decision at work. Close to the end, the essay needs to reflect on self-knowledge and
highlight implications for future self-development.
To successfully complete this assessment task, students should answer the following reflective essay
questions:
Which concepts/theories from which week’s learning activities are significant or important to
you?
Why are these concepts/theories you have identified important or significant to you?
(Theoretical review)
How are the concepts/theories you have learned influencing/impacting your deci.

Due Week 9 (5 pm on Friday 3rd January 2014 uploaded through Turnitin on Blackboard)
In the March 2001 edition of Australian CPA there was an article by Ian Nash and Adam Awty entitled “Just clowning around?”. The following is a quote from the article:
Basically, environmental and social reporting is when the accounting profession eases into its Birkenstock sandals and becomes green, fluffy and friendly. It’s the type of reporting that nobody is the market could possibly take seriously, and even if it’s on the horizon, it’s a long way from becoming a regulatory and legal issue. True or false?
With reference to accounting theory critically evaluate the above quotation and provide an opinion on the ‘true or false’ question
As outlined in the unit outline page 5, students are required to write an essay and address the following
The essay should be no smaller than 1000 words and no greater than 1500 words. (Use the word count in Microsoft office and write the number of words at the end of the essay).

Critical Thinking and Managerial Decision Making
Written Assessment- Reflective Essay
Task: The essay must be 2000 words (+/-10%) in length.
Cover page: The essay must include a cover page that contains your name, student number,
resident campus, assessment title, and lecturer.
Format: Text should be word-processed, with appropriate layout and use of headings/sub
headings. Times New Roman, 12 size font and line spacing (1.5).
Referencing: A minimum of 10 academic references are required. The list of references
should form the last page or two, at the end of the assessment. Referencing should be in a
consistent APA style.
Task Description: The objectives of this reflective essay are for students to (1) summarize,
critically review and reinforce key concepts and theories learned from week 1 to week 9 of this
unit. (2) reflect on these concepts/theories’ potential impact on students’ decision making, and
how these learnings are being applied and could be applied in their current jobs, development
of future career and/or their life generally. (3) reflect on new insights gained about oneself as a
result of learning the unit and propose a plan for self-development.
Minimum number of concepts/theories/themes required to pass: 6
Students ought to start the reflective essay in week 4 after the submission of their first
assignment. From week 4 to week 9 (a total of 6 weeks), students are expected to reflect on
the topics (week 1-week 9) this unit has covered and evaluate which concepts or theories
have inspired their thinking or influenced their decision making. This assignment still
requires an essay format with introduction section outlining the scope, purpose and
structure information. The body paragraphs need to contain at least six themes over the
course of six weeks, and each theme needs to contain a CONVINCING and PERSONAL
justification of why these concepts/theories are chosen and how the mentioned
concepts/theories have changed/might change the students’ thinking or the students’
decisions. For example, students could identify the concepts of “automatic versus critical
thinking” as a theme for one week’s reflection, and illustrate with personal examples how
having learned about the differences has enabled him/her to be more effective in making a
certain decision at work. Close to the end, the essay needs to reflect on self-knowledge and
highlight implications for future self-development.
To successfully complete this assessment task, students should answer the following reflective essay
questions:
Which concepts/theories from which week’s learning activities are significant or important to
you?
Why are these concepts/theories you have identified important or significant to you?
(Theoretical review)
How are the concepts/theories you have learned influencing/impacting your deci.

Test 2 (15%) -Essay
Due Week 9 (5 pm on Friday 3rd January 2014 uploaded through Turnitin on Blackboard)
In the March 2001 edition of Australian CPA there was an article by Ian Nash and Adam Awty entitled “Just clowning around?”. The following is a quote from the article:
Basically, environmental and social reporting is when the accounting profession eases into its Birkenstock sandals and becomes green, fluffy and friendly. It’s the type of reporting that nobody is the market could possibly take seriously, and even if it’s on the horizon, it’s a long way from becoming a regulatory and legal issue. True or false?
With reference to accounting theory critically evaluate the above quotation and provide an opinion on the ‘true or false’ question
As outlined in the unit outline page 5, students are required to write an essay and address the following
The essay should be no smaller than 1000 words and no greater than 1500 words. (Use the word count in Microsoft office and write the number of words at the end of the essay).
Required Format Students are required to upload their document through “Turnitin” in Blackboard. By no later than 5pm on Friday 3rd January 2014. Essays should be typed using Microsoft Word with a minimum size 11 font and using minimum 1.5 line spacing (no single spaced submissions please). Left and right page margins should be at least 3 cm. Chicago referencing style is required for in-text and end-text referencing. A completed assignment coversheet should be included with the assignment and the declaration signed by the student indicating that the work submitted is his/her own work. University policies and procedures for academic misconduct and plagiarism will be applied. Further information is available at academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au. Unsigned declarations will not be accepted. Originality reports can be viewed by students to ensure they have referenced where appropriate and not plagiarised. (In summary, plagiarism is not giving due reference to work that is not your own whether copied or paraphrased). Students can reload their edited documents multiple times prior to the submission time. Assignment cover sheets may increase the percentage of similarity but this can be ignored along with percentages related to end-text references. Other similarity matches will all be examined closely to ensure that students submit their own work. As a guide, try to keep similarity below 20%. IMPORTANT -The file name of the word document submitted (ie the submission title) needs to reflect your location and student ID for example if you are from Sydney your file name should be (SYD_12345678) or Hong Kong (HK_12345678) or Singapore (SING_12345678). File name should not include your name or title test 2, you can include these in your actual document, NOT THE FILE NAME.

Litmus Test for a Doctoral-Level Research ProblemBackground on.docxjeremylockett77
Litmus Test for a Doctoral-Level Research Problem
Background on these “litmus test” questions
· The distinguishing characteristic of doctoral-level research (as opposed to masters level) is that it must make an original contribution to the field. However, students may struggle to identify what will authentically contribute to their field or discipline.
· The most critical step in making such a contribution is to first identify a research problem with the 4 doctoral hallmarks below. Identifying a doctoral-level research problem is “necessary, but not sufficient,” to produce doctoral-level capstone.
REQUIRED DOCTORAL HALLMARKS OF THE RESEARCH PROBLEM
In Walden’s scholar-practitioner model, a research problem shows promise of contributing meaningfully to the field ONLY if the answer to ALL of the following questions is “yes.”
Yes
No
1. JUSTIFIED?
Is there evidence that this problem is significant to the professional field?
There must be relevant statistics (expressing an unjust inequality, financial impact, lost efficiency, etc.), documentable discrepancies (e.g., two models that are difficult to reconcile), and/or other scholarly facts that point to the significance and urgency of the problem. The problem must be an authentic “puzzle” that needs solving, not merely a topic that the researcher finds interesting.
2. GROUNDED IN THE LITERATURE?
Can the problem be framed in a way that will enable the researcher to either build upon or counter the previously published findings on the topic?
For most fields, this involves articulating the problem within the context of a theoretical or conceptual framework. Although there are multiple ways to ground a study in the scientific literature, the essential requirement is that the problem is framed in such a way that the new findings will have implications for the previous findings.
3. ORIGINAL?
For research doctorates (Ph.D.):
Does the problem reflect a meaningful gap in the research literature?
For the professional doctorates (Ed.D. and D.B.A.):
Does the problem describe a meaningful gap in practice?
4. AMENABLE TO SCIENTIFIC STUDY?
Can a scholarly, systematic method of inquiry be applied to address the problem?
The framing of the problem should not reveal bias or present a foregone conclusion. Even if the researcher has a strong opinion on the expected findings, scholarly objectivity must be maximized by framing the problem in the context of a systematic inquiry that permits multiple possible conclusions.

Format, Length and Content of Paper:
Title (First whole page of paper)
Abstract (Separate page)
Body of Paper: (10 -12 pages total) Clearly mark each part of the body of your paper with the following four section headings. Watch the page requirements carefully as you will be graded on them.
I. Introduction and Thesis Questions/Statement (1 page):
Introduce your topic and explain its relevance to you personally. Summarize the significance of this topic for others (e.g., the reader, groups, society). Describe the research questions that will guide your inquiry or the thesis statement that you will explore.
II. Analysis Using Concepts/Theories (2 – 3 pages):
Clearly and significantly apply at least five concepts/theories from our text to your research topic. While this sounds like what you did in Assignment One, this is no longer an exploration of how these might apply. Rather, these applications should be strong and well-supported in the final draft.
III. Application of Research (6 - 7 pages):
Clearly and significantly apply findings from at least 8 meaningful, up-to-date resources, 5 of which are from reputable academic journals. Your research in Assignment Two should help you with this, but remember that the final pape.
TaskYour lecturer will place several links in Interact to a number.docxSANSKAR20
Task
Your lecturer will place several links in Interact to a number of relevant articles and/or case studies. These will be available to you just after your second assignment has been submitted.
Choose one of the media articles or case studies listed by the lecturer in Interact.
Use the title of the article/case study provided in interact as the title of your essay, so that the lecturer knows which article you are analysing.
Undertake further research about your chosen case, to assist you in analysing and discussing it in your essay.
You are required to complete the following:
Step 1.
Construct a diagram
to map the arguments about a moral claim that you have identified in the article/case study:
Include all supporting and objecting claims. These claims should include facts collated from your own research and classical ethical theories that support or object to the claim
You are expected to '
finish off
' the case's arguments, turning it into a valid and properly structured argument.
You should use information from the article/case study, other sources discovered during your research, and your own reasoned arguments. A balanced and impartial argument is the objective.
The main claim/conclusion must be an ethical claim.
Step
2
.
Write an essay,
which maps closely to the diagram that you constructed in Step 1.
The
word limit
for the essay is 1,500 words ± 10%. Headings, citations and references do not count towards the word limit, but quotations do.
All the claims shown on the diagram must appear in the essay, and all claims made in the essay must appear on the diagram. The essay must present all the detailed information that the diagram cannot.
Remember to analyse the article/case study from the perspective of at least two different classical ethical theories and present well reasoned arguments for your assessments and recommendations.
Step 3.
Write an overall conclusion
that justifies your recommendations made in your essay.
Step 4. Reference list
Include a
Reference
list at the end of your work, in the correct APA referencing style, corresponding to in-text citations.
You must include at least five (5)
quality
references from different sources. Please note that these five references are in addition to those provided to you through this subject (for example, you still must reference, Tavani, the Interact subject lecture notes etc
BUT
these references
cannot
be used as one of your five quality references from different sources).
Only use references that have been cited in the body of your assignment and ones that support what you have presented in your assignment.
NOTE: Format your assignment according to the instructions given in the Assessment Information, Presentation section.

explain the various aspects of business sustainability and how these impact upon business strategy;
critique the major ethical theories and frameworks and be able to compare these in a contemporary business setting;
discuss the management of business ethics within an organisation and explore the role of tools such as Codes of Conduct, Risk Management frameworks and gift policies in assisting such management; and
demonstrate commonly accepted professional ethical standards in the work place and in your behaviour toward others.

Developing Master’s-Level Writing SkillsNurses are busy. Man.docxlynettearnold46882
Developing Master’s-Level Writing Skills
Nurses are busy. Many develop habits that help them work quickly: writing in short-hand on the job or in text message abbreviations in everyday life. When starting a Master’s program, however, nursing students must use scholarly writing or academic writing. The objective of academic writing, which has a high level of rigor and a specific structure, is to provide clear, concise insights and to support them with evidence. The transition from short hand or casual writing to scholarly writing requires using the five-paragraph essay format.
The Five-Paragraph Essay Format
The five-paragraph essay format is a classic structure used for building an essay and is helpful in organizing and developing ideas.
The basic five-paragraph essay contains the following:
· One introductory paragraph to introduce the topic and a thesis statement
· Three body paragraphs that support, defend, and develop the topic of the essay
· One concluding paragraph to summarize and synthesize the information provided on the topic
The body paragraphs can be expanded for a more robust discussion. Please review the American Psychological Association’s (APA) style manual for further guidance in paragraph and sentence development.
Planning Your Paragraphs With the “MEAL Plan”
Presenting information to your reader in a clear and concise manner requires writing organized and effective paragraphs. Paragraphing is a core skill in building paraphrase that convey mastery of your academic writing abilities. Students at Duke University are encouraged to think of a paragraph as a complete MEAL that includes a Main idea, Evidence, Analysis, and a Link. Understanding the MEAL Plan will provide you with an effective strategy to ensure each paragraph contains a main idea, evidence to support the idea, analysis of evidence, and a link of the information to what already exists and to the next topic in the discussion.
M – The Main Idea
Every paragraph should have one main idea. If you find that your paragraphs have more than one main idea, separate your paragraphs so that each has only one main point. The idea behind a paragraph is to introduce an idea and expand on it. If you veer off into a new topic, begin a new paragraph.
E – Evidence (or Examples)
Your main idea needs support, either in the form of evidence that buttresses your argument or examples that explain your idea. If you don’t have any evidence or examples to support your main idea, your idea may not be strong enough to warrant a complete paragraph. In this case, re-evaluate your idea and see whether you need even to keep it in the paper.
A – Analysis
Analysis is the heart of academic writing. While your readers want to see evidence or examples of your idea, the real “meat” of your idea is your interpretation of your evidence or examples: how you break them apart, compare them to other ideas, use them to build a persuasive case, demonstrate their strengths or weaknesses, and so on.

Guidelines To Write Research Proposal
Research Proposal Guidelines
The ProposalProcess
Your proposal is due on week 15. The maximum word limit of the proposal is 4,000 +_ 5% excluding the title (cover) page, references and appendices. Avoid repetition and be concise.
The exact format of each student’s proposal is likely to vary in content, style and presentation.The example below provides a possible structural framework for your proposal and should be used as a guide only. It is important to bear in mind that different approaches may necessitate differences in structure. Overall, ensure that deviations from a ‘traditional’ structure are clearly explained and justified. Title (Cover page)
This is a mandatory inclusion and should contain the following information.
Title of project
Author Name
Proposal Submitted for the Master of Science in Nursing
College of Nursing. Hail University
Month and Year of Submission
The title (cover) page and page numbers should be exactly per APA style
Proposal should be written in future tense, except for the literature review section.
Introduction
Introduce your topic of interest for the reader. Provide information on the context and rationale for the topic you chose to study and why it is important. Describe the broad foundations of your proposal, including some references to existing literature and/or empirically observable situations. In other words, the introduction needs to provide sufficient background for readers to understand where your proposal for research, a process improvement or policy initiative is coming from.Background
This section provides a description of the topic being studied (global to within the Saudi Arabian context). It provides a justification of its importance and relevance in terms of existing trends, reports, theory, research and practice.
Tips on drafting your background
· Indicate the general scope of your proposal project, but do not go into so much detail that later sections (purpose/literature review etc.) become irrelevant
· Clarify what the problem is or knowledge gap is that your project is responding to.
Review of Literature
Overall, this section should demonstrate wide reading in the immediate area and related theoretical areas and a discussion of underlying theories and supporting evidence. It is recommended that you include information on your search strategy (e.g. keywords, databases and inclusion and exclusion criteria and final results of your search). Provide a range of years used in the search and a rationale. Essentially, this section should be a comprehensive summary and a critical review of existing literature, which identifies strengths, weaknesses and omissions within the reviewed literature, and there should be accurate and complete referencing.

Leonard Pitts, Don't Confuse Them with the Facts
Don’t Confuse Them with the Facts
By Leonard Pitts
February 21, 2010
I got an e-mail the other day that depressed me.
It concerned a piece I recently did that mentioned Henry Johnson, who was awarded the French Croix de Guerre in World War I for single-handedly fighting off a company of Germans (some accounts say there were 14, some say almost 30, the ones I find most authoritative say there were about two dozen) who threatened to overrun his post.
Johnson managed this despite the fact that he was only 5-foot-4 and 130 pounds, despite the fact that his gun had jammed, despite the fact that he was wounded 21 times.
My mention of Johnson’s heroics drew a rebuke from a fellow named Ken Thompson, which I quote verbatim and in its entirety:
“Hate to tell you that blacks were not allowed into combat intell (sic) 1947, that fact. World War II ended in 1945. So all that feel good, one black man killing two dozen Nazi, is just that, PC bull.”
In response, my assistant, Judi Smith, sent Mr. Thompson proof of Johnson’s heroics: a link to his page on the Web site of Arlington National Cemetery. She thought this settled the matter.
Thompson’s reply? “There is no race on headstones and they didn’t come up with the story in tell (sic) 2002.”
Judi: “I guess you can choose to believe Arlington National Cemetery or not.”
Thompson: “It is what it is, you don’t believe either … “
At this point, Judi forwarded me their correspondence, along with a despairing note. She is probably somewhere drinking right now.
You see, like me, she can remember a time when facts settled arguments. This is back before everything became a partisan shouting match, back before it was permissible to ignore or deride as “biased” anything that didn’t support your worldview.
If you and I had an argument and I produced facts from an authoritative source to back me up, you couldn’t just blow that off. You might try to undermine my facts, might counter with facts of your own, but you couldn’t just pretend my facts had no weight or meaning.
But that’s the intellectual state of the union these days, as evidenced by all the people who still don’t believe the president was born in Hawaii or that the planet is warming. And by Mr. Thompson, who doesn’t believe Henry Johnson did what he did.
I could send him more proof, I suppose. Johnson is lauded in history books (“Before the Mayflower” by Lerone Bennett Jr., “The Dictionary of American Negro Biography” by Rayford Logan and Michael Winston) and in contemporaneous accounts (The Saturday Evening Post, The New York Times). I could also point out that blacks have fought in every war in American history, though before Harry Truman desegregated the military in 1948, t.

1. Preoperational intelligence according to Piaget is thinking between ages of 2 and 6. This means that children cannot yet perform logical operations, that is they cannot use logical principles.
2. According to Vygotsky, children learn because adults present challenges, offer assistance, and encourage motivation.
3. The vocabulary of children consists primarily of verbs and concrete nouns.
4. Centration – the tendency of preoperational children to focus only on one aspect of a situation or object.
5. Egocentrism – thinking that is self-centered. In the preoperational period a child views the world exclusively from his or her own perspective.
6. Focus on appearance refers to the preoperational child’s tendency to focus only on apparent attributes and ignore all others.

ANTI-PAMELA by ELIZA HAYWOOD
SUMMARY
Syrena Tricksy is raised in London, GBR by her liaison mother to attract a wealthy husband. She is trained in acting and deception. When Syrena is older than 13 and her other friends are beginning to enter into apprenticeships, and other areas of employment, Syrena is sent off to serve as a maid for a wealthy mistress named Mrs. Martin whom she knows through family connections, and is expected to use her newfound position to attract a patron and lover.
Immediately, Syrena is disgusted with the formality of her new family, and begs to be sent home. Syrena must miss a trip home because it is raining on the weekend, and boasts of deceiving a man into attraction for her on the next day in a letter that was sent on Monday. The man, named Vardine, vows to give all his money to her the next day. Syrena's mother who is named Ann applauds Syrena's receipt but cautions her optimism in trusting the new lover, and encourages her to increase the manipulation until the man is powerless. Syrena discovers the man has no estate and Ann cautions Syrena to shun the man completely. Because Syrena liked the man, she tricks Ann into letting her leave the Martins by claiming that someone has caught small pox in the house.
Vardine meets Syrena in the park and they go out drinking alcohol together. Syrena finds a new lady named Mrs. L for whom to serve. Vardine tells Syrena that he will marry her at any time. Syrena tricks Vardine into giving her five guineas to repay a fictional debt from Ann to Mrs. Martin; Vardine only has 2 guineas then, and promises to obtain another 3 by Friday. On Friday, Vardine sends a note to her that he has been sent to Ireland in the English invading military and does not have the 3 guineas.
Syrena writes to Ann that Thomas L, one of Syrena's new patrons, forced Syrena to kiss him and slipped 5 guineas down her blouse. Later, Thomas comes into Syrena's room and attempts to force himself on her, but she refuses. His son, referred to as Mr. L, jumps out of the closet as soon as Thomas leaves and condemns Thomas' behavior while praising Syrena. Syrena suspects Mr. L and his father are like-minded in their pursuit of her. Mr. L begins to kiss Syrena without her permission. Thomas accosts Syrena while she is hiding from Mr. L, and promises to show her his good intentions when they are away at the countryside together. When they go to the country Thomas tells Syrena he loves her, hinting that he will support her if she becomes his unwed lover, but Syrena refuses. Ann tells Syrena she should be less harsh toward Thomas, but focus her energy on manipulating Mr. L, who tells her that he cannot risk marrying her because Thomas would disapprove. Thomas draws Syrena a legal offer to pay her 100 pounds cash per year during Thomas' life and 50 pounds per year after Thomas' death, and ed.

Litmus Test for a Doctoral-Level Research ProblemBackground on.docxjeremylockett77
Litmus Test for a Doctoral-Level Research Problem
Background on these “litmus test” questions
· The distinguishing characteristic of doctoral-level research (as opposed to masters level) is that it must make an original contribution to the field. However, students may struggle to identify what will authentically contribute to their field or discipline.
· The most critical step in making such a contribution is to first identify a research problem with the 4 doctoral hallmarks below. Identifying a doctoral-level research problem is “necessary, but not sufficient,” to produce doctoral-level capstone.
REQUIRED DOCTORAL HALLMARKS OF THE RESEARCH PROBLEM
In Walden’s scholar-practitioner model, a research problem shows promise of contributing meaningfully to the field ONLY if the answer to ALL of the following questions is “yes.”
Yes
No
1. JUSTIFIED?
Is there evidence that this problem is significant to the professional field?
There must be relevant statistics (expressing an unjust inequality, financial impact, lost efficiency, etc.), documentable discrepancies (e.g., two models that are difficult to reconcile), and/or other scholarly facts that point to the significance and urgency of the problem. The problem must be an authentic “puzzle” that needs solving, not merely a topic that the researcher finds interesting.
2. GROUNDED IN THE LITERATURE?
Can the problem be framed in a way that will enable the researcher to either build upon or counter the previously published findings on the topic?
For most fields, this involves articulating the problem within the context of a theoretical or conceptual framework. Although there are multiple ways to ground a study in the scientific literature, the essential requirement is that the problem is framed in such a way that the new findings will have implications for the previous findings.
3. ORIGINAL?
For research doctorates (Ph.D.):
Does the problem reflect a meaningful gap in the research literature?
For the professional doctorates (Ed.D. and D.B.A.):
Does the problem describe a meaningful gap in practice?
4. AMENABLE TO SCIENTIFIC STUDY?
Can a scholarly, systematic method of inquiry be applied to address the problem?
The framing of the problem should not reveal bias or present a foregone conclusion. Even if the researcher has a strong opinion on the expected findings, scholarly objectivity must be maximized by framing the problem in the context of a systematic inquiry that permits multiple possible conclusions.

Title (First whole page of paper)
Abstract (Separate page)
Body of Paper: (10 -12 pages total) Clearly mark each part of the body of your paper with the following four section headings. Watch the page requirements carefully as you will be graded on them.
I. Introduction and Thesis Questions/Statement (1 page):
Introduce your topic and explain its relevance to you personally. Summarize the significance of this topic for others (e.g., the reader, groups, society). Describe the research questions that will guide your inquiry or the thesis statement that you will explore.
II. Analysis Using Concepts/Theories (2 – 3 pages):
Clearly and significantly apply at least five concepts/theories from our text to your research topic. While this sounds like what you did in Assignment One, this is no longer an exploration of how these might apply. Rather, these applications should be strong and well-supported in the final draft.
III. Application of Research (6 - 7 pages):
Clearly and significantly apply findings from at least 8 meaningful, up-to-date resources, 5 of which are from reputable academic journals. Your research in Assignment Two should help you with this, but remember that the final pape.
TaskYour lecturer will place several links in Interact to a number.docxSANSKAR20
Task
Your lecturer will place several links in Interact to a number of relevant articles and/or case studies. These will be available to you just after your second assignment has been submitted.
Choose one of the media articles or case studies listed by the lecturer in Interact.
Use the title of the article/case study provided in interact as the title of your essay, so that the lecturer knows which article you are analysing.
Undertake further research about your chosen case, to assist you in analysing and discussing it in your essay.
You are required to complete the following:
Step 1.
Construct a diagram
to map the arguments about a moral claim that you have identified in the article/case study:
Include all supporting and objecting claims. These claims should include facts collated from your own research and classical ethical theories that support or object to the claim
You are expected to '
finish off
' the case's arguments, turning it into a valid and properly structured argument.
You should use information from the article/case study, other sources discovered during your research, and your own reasoned arguments. A balanced and impartial argument is the objective.
The main claim/conclusion must be an ethical claim.
Step
2
.
Write an essay,
which maps closely to the diagram that you constructed in Step 1.
The
word limit
for the essay is 1,500 words ± 10%. Headings, citations and references do not count towards the word limit, but quotations do.
All the claims shown on the diagram must appear in the essay, and all claims made in the essay must appear on the diagram. The essay must present all the detailed information that the diagram cannot.
Remember to analyse the article/case study from the perspective of at least two different classical ethical theories and present well reasoned arguments for your assessments and recommendations.
Step 3.
Write an overall conclusion
that justifies your recommendations made in your essay.
Step 4. Reference list
Include a
Reference
list at the end of your work, in the correct APA referencing style, corresponding to in-text citations.
You must include at least five (5)
quality
references from different sources. Please note that these five references are in addition to those provided to you through this subject (for example, you still must reference, Tavani, the Interact subject lecture notes etc
BUT
these references
cannot
be used as one of your five quality references from different sources).
Only use references that have been cited in the body of your assignment and ones that support what you have presented in your assignment.
NOTE: Format your assignment according to the instructions given in the Assessment Information, Presentation section.

Developing Master’s-Level Writing SkillsNurses are busy. Man.docxlynettearnold46882
Developing Master’s-Level Writing Skills
Nurses are busy. Many develop habits that help them work quickly: writing in short-hand on the job or in text message abbreviations in everyday life. When starting a Master’s program, however, nursing students must use scholarly writing or academic writing. The objective of academic writing, which has a high level of rigor and a specific structure, is to provide clear, concise insights and to support them with evidence. The transition from short hand or casual writing to scholarly writing requires using the five-paragraph essay format.
The Five-Paragraph Essay Format
The five-paragraph essay format is a classic structure used for building an essay and is helpful in organizing and developing ideas.
The basic five-paragraph essay contains the following:
· One introductory paragraph to introduce the topic and a thesis statement
· Three body paragraphs that support, defend, and develop the topic of the essay
· One concluding paragraph to summarize and synthesize the information provided on the topic
The body paragraphs can be expanded for a more robust discussion. Please review the American Psychological Association’s (APA) style manual for further guidance in paragraph and sentence development.
Planning Your Paragraphs With the “MEAL Plan”
Presenting information to your reader in a clear and concise manner requires writing organized and effective paragraphs. Paragraphing is a core skill in building paraphrase that convey mastery of your academic writing abilities. Students at Duke University are encouraged to think of a paragraph as a complete MEAL that includes a Main idea, Evidence, Analysis, and a Link. Understanding the MEAL Plan will provide you with an effective strategy to ensure each paragraph contains a main idea, evidence to support the idea, analysis of evidence, and a link of the information to what already exists and to the next topic in the discussion.
M – The Main Idea
Every paragraph should have one main idea. If you find that your paragraphs have more than one main idea, separate your paragraphs so that each has only one main point. The idea behind a paragraph is to introduce an idea and expand on it. If you veer off into a new topic, begin a new paragraph.
E – Evidence (or Examples)
Your main idea needs support, either in the form of evidence that buttresses your argument or examples that explain your idea. If you don’t have any evidence or examples to support your main idea, your idea may not be strong enough to warrant a complete paragraph. In this case, re-evaluate your idea and see whether you need even to keep it in the paper.
A – Analysis
Analysis is the heart of academic writing. While your readers want to see evidence or examples of your idea, the real “meat” of your idea is your interpretation of your evidence or examples: how you break them apart, compare them to other ideas, use them to build a persuasive case, demonstrate their strengths or weaknesses, and so on.

Guidelines To Write Research Proposal
Research Proposal Guidelines
The ProposalProcess
Your proposal is due on week 15. The maximum word limit of the proposal is 4,000 +_ 5% excluding the title (cover) page, references and appendices. Avoid repetition and be concise.
The exact format of each student’s proposal is likely to vary in content, style and presentation.The example below provides a possible structural framework for your proposal and should be used as a guide only. It is important to bear in mind that different approaches may necessitate differences in structure. Overall, ensure that deviations from a ‘traditional’ structure are clearly explained and justified. Title (Cover page)
This is a mandatory inclusion and should contain the following information.
Title of project
Author Name
Proposal Submitted for the Master of Science in Nursing
College of Nursing. Hail University
Month and Year of Submission
The title (cover) page and page numbers should be exactly per APA style
Proposal should be written in future tense, except for the literature review section.
Introduction
Introduce your topic of interest for the reader. Provide information on the context and rationale for the topic you chose to study and why it is important. Describe the broad foundations of your proposal, including some references to existing literature and/or empirically observable situations. In other words, the introduction needs to provide sufficient background for readers to understand where your proposal for research, a process improvement or policy initiative is coming from.Background
This section provides a description of the topic being studied (global to within the Saudi Arabian context). It provides a justification of its importance and relevance in terms of existing trends, reports, theory, research and practice.
Tips on drafting your background
· Indicate the general scope of your proposal project, but do not go into so much detail that later sections (purpose/literature review etc.) become irrelevant
· Clarify what the problem is or knowledge gap is that your project is responding to.
Review of Literature
Overall, this section should demonstrate wide reading in the immediate area and related theoretical areas and a discussion of underlying theories and supporting evidence. It is recommended that you include information on your search strategy (e.g. keywords, databases and inclusion and exclusion criteria and final results of your search). Provide a range of years used in the search and a rationale. Essentially, this section should be a comprehensive summary and a critical review of existing literature, which identifies strengths, weaknesses and omissions within the reviewed literature, and there should be accurate and complete referencing.

Leonard Pitts, Don't Confuse Them with the Facts
Don’t Confuse Them with the Facts
By Leonard Pitts
February 21, 2010
I got an e-mail the other day that depressed me.
It concerned a piece I recently did that mentioned Henry Johnson, who was awarded the French Croix de Guerre in World War I for single-handedly fighting off a company of Germans (some accounts say there were 14, some say almost 30, the ones I find most authoritative say there were about two dozen) who threatened to overrun his post.
Johnson managed this despite the fact that he was only 5-foot-4 and 130 pounds, despite the fact that his gun had jammed, despite the fact that he was wounded 21 times.
My mention of Johnson’s heroics drew a rebuke from a fellow named Ken Thompson, which I quote verbatim and in its entirety:
“Hate to tell you that blacks were not allowed into combat intell (sic) 1947, that fact. World War II ended in 1945. So all that feel good, one black man killing two dozen Nazi, is just that, PC bull.”
In response, my assistant, Judi Smith, sent Mr. Thompson proof of Johnson’s heroics: a link to his page on the Web site of Arlington National Cemetery. She thought this settled the matter.
Thompson’s reply? “There is no race on headstones and they didn’t come up with the story in tell (sic) 2002.”
Judi: “I guess you can choose to believe Arlington National Cemetery or not.”
Thompson: “It is what it is, you don’t believe either … “
At this point, Judi forwarded me their correspondence, along with a despairing note. She is probably somewhere drinking right now.
You see, like me, she can remember a time when facts settled arguments. This is back before everything became a partisan shouting match, back before it was permissible to ignore or deride as “biased” anything that didn’t support your worldview.
If you and I had an argument and I produced facts from an authoritative source to back me up, you couldn’t just blow that off. You might try to undermine my facts, might counter with facts of your own, but you couldn’t just pretend my facts had no weight or meaning.
But that’s the intellectual state of the union these days, as evidenced by all the people who still don’t believe the president was born in Hawaii or that the planet is warming. And by Mr. Thompson, who doesn’t believe Henry Johnson did what he did.
I could send him more proof, I suppose. Johnson is lauded in history books (“Before the Mayflower” by Lerone Bennett Jr., “The Dictionary of American Negro Biography” by Rayford Logan and Michael Winston) and in contemporaneous accounts (The Saturday Evening Post, The New York Times). I could also point out that blacks have fought in every war in American history, though before Harry Truman desegregated the military in 1948, t.

1. Preoperational intelligence according to Piaget is thinking between ages of 2 and 6. This means that children cannot yet perform logical operations, that is they cannot use logical principles.
2. According to Vygotsky, children learn because adults present challenges, offer assistance, and encourage motivation.
3. The vocabulary of children consists primarily of verbs and concrete nouns.
4. Centration – the tendency of preoperational children to focus only on one aspect of a situation or object.
5. Egocentrism – thinking that is self-centered. In the preoperational period a child views the world exclusively from his or her own perspective.
6. Focus on appearance refers to the preoperational child’s tendency to focus only on apparent attributes and ignore all others.
7. Irreversibility is the characteristic of preoperational thought in which the young child fails to recognize that a process can be reversed to restore the original conditions of a situation

ANTI-PAMELA by ELIZA HAYWOOD, SUMMARY and ANALYSIS
ANTI-PAMELA by ELIZA HAYWOOD
SUMMARY
Syrena Tricksy is raised in London, GBR by her liaison mother to attract a wealthy husband. She is trained in acting and deception. When Syrena is older than 13 and her other friends are beginning to enter into apprenticeships, and other areas of employment, Syrena is sent off to serve as a maid for a wealthy mistress named Mrs. Martin whom she knows through family connections, and is expected to use her newfound position to attract a patron and lover.
Immediately, Syrena is disgusted with the formality of her new family, and begs to be sent home. Syrena must miss a trip home because it is raining on the weekend, and boasts of deceiving a man into attraction for her on the next day in a letter that was sent on Monday. The man, named Vardine, vows to give all his money to her the next day. Syrena's mother who is named Ann applauds Syrena's receipt but cautions her optimism in trusting the new lover, and encourages her to increase the manipulation until the man is powerless. Syrena discovers the man has no estate and Ann cautions Syrena to shun the man completely. Because Syrena liked the man, she tricks Ann into letting her leave the Martins by claiming that someone has caught small pox in the house.
Vardine meets Syrena in the park and they go out drinking alcohol together. Syrena finds a new lady named Mrs. L for whom to serve. Vardine tells Syrena that he will marry her at any time. Syrena tricks Vardine into giving her five guineas to repay a fictional debt from Ann to Mrs. Martin; Vardine only has 2 guineas then, and promises to obtain another 3 by Friday. On Friday, Vardine sends a note to her that he has been sent to Ireland in the English invading military and does not have the 3 guineas.
Syrena writes to Ann that Thomas L, one of Syrena's new patrons, forced Syrena to kiss him and slipped 5 guineas down her blouse. Later, Thomas comes into Syrena's room and attempts to force himself on her, but she refuses. His son, referred to as Mr. L, jumps out of the closet as soon as Thomas leaves and condemns Thomas' behavior while praising Syrena. Syrena suspects Mr. L and his father are like-minded in their pursuit of her. Mr. L begins to kiss Syrena without her permission. Thomas accosts Syrena while she is hiding from Mr. L, and promises to show her his good intentions when they are away at the countryside together. When they go to the country Thomas tells Syrena he loves her, hinting that he will support her if she becomes his unwed lover, but Syrena refuses. Ann tells Syrena she should be less harsh toward Thomas, but focus her energy on manipulating Mr. L, who tells her that he cannot risk marrying her because Thomas would disapprove. Thomas draws Syrena a legal offer to pay her 100 pounds cash per year during Thomas' life and 50 pounds per year after Thomas' death, and ed.

Summarize the three (3) current competing theories of the origin of .docxfredr6
Summarize the three (3) current competing theories of the origin of life on Earth: it arrived from an extraterrestrial source, it originated as a heterotroph, it originated as an autotroph.
The answer to the question of the origin of life is a puzzle that scientists to this day cannot solve. Yet with continual research, scientists find evidence that will one day bring a solution. At present, there are three competing theories of how life came on Earth. All these theories but one of them states that life arrived here from an outside source. Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius popularized the idea of panspermia in the early nineteen hundreds; this is the concept that life arose outside the Earth and that living things were transported to Earth to seed the planet with life. According to the passage, this theory does not explain how life arose originally and had little scientific support at that time.
Arrhenius' theory however has been revived and modified after gaining new evidence from the examinations of meteorites and space explorations. Organic molecules are found in many meteorites, and this suggests that life may have existed elsewhere in the solar system. An analysis of a meteorite found in Antarctica in 1996 suggested that from its chemical make-up, it was a portion of Mars; also the presence of complex organic molecules and small globules resembled those found on earth. At the current moment, most scientists no longer agree that their structures are from microorganisms, but there are still groups of scientists who still believe that they are.
Another hypothesis for the origin of life focuses on spontaneous generation. Spontaneous generation is the concept that living things arise from nonliving material. Aristotle proposed this concept between 384-322 B.C. and it was widely accepted until the seventeenth century. Many scientists support the idea that first living things on Earth were heterotrophs, which lived off organic molecules in the ocean. There is evidence to suggest that a wide variety of compounds were present in the early oceans, some of which could have been used, unchanged, by primitive cells. Because the earliest cells appear in the fossil record before any evidence of oxygen in the atmosphere, these early heterotrophs would have been anaerobic organisms.
According to the heterotrophic hypothesis the first living beings were very simple organisms, i.e., not producers of their own food, which emerged from the gradual association of organic molecules into small organized structures (the coacervates). The first organic molecules in their turn would have appeared from substances of the earth's primitive atmosphere submitted to strong electrical discharges, to solar radiation and to high temperatures.
Although the heterotrophic hypothesis for the origin living things was the prevailing theory for many years, recent discoveries have caused many scientists to consider an alternative that leads to the third hypothesis of how Earth.

Assessment Item 2: Semiotic Analysis of Patek Philippe Text
Signs and Sign Systems
The Patek Philippe advertisement (The World of Interiors, 2012,
back cover) is comprised of a
full page image of a woman and girl sitting together drawing.
The woman wears a Patek Philippe
7. watch and ring, also depicted in a smaller image in the bottom
right corner. In the bottom left
corner is a description of the products and a contact number.
The Patek Philippe logo and slogan
“Begin your own tradition” are in the top right corner. There is
also a caption below the main
image “Something truly precious holds its beauty forever”.
If a text is a combination of signs (Thwaites et. al. 2002, p. 77)
and a sign is something which
produces meanings (Thwaites et. al. 2002, p. 9), this
advertisement is a piece of text and all the
components above signs. Studying the main image the reader
immediately has a mental
impression, a “signifier”, as defined by Thwaites et. al., which
creates an abstract concept, a
“signified” (2002, p. 31). yes
The woman leans towards the girl smiling, her arm circling the
girl’s chair in a protective
manner. Watching the child drawing, her pencil is poised ready
to help if needed. Both figures
are attractive and dressed in smart casual attire. Many possible
signifieds, or connotations (Study
8. Guide CMM19 2013, p. 38), can be identified. These
possibilities include femininity, elegance,
mother/daughter, innocence and affluence. Yes It is the line,
“Something truly precious holds its
beauty forever”, that enables denotations to be determined. Yes
Denotations are “the most stable
and objectively verifiable of connotations” (Thwaites et. al.
2002, p. 62). These words remove
ambiguity and anchor the image to the denotation (Study Guide
CMM19 2013, p. 28). In this
case the mother and daughter drawing together signifies
preciousness and beauty. Yes, good
analysis
Transferring the qualities of a girl onto jewellery is an example
of a metaphor (Study Guide
CMM19 2013, p. 34). Yes The Patek Philippe products, like a
child, are “truly precious and hold
their beauty forever”, and investing money in Patek Philippe is
comparable to investing in one’s
children. The signifier of the sketchpad is another metaphor
9. comparing the product to a piece of
art. The mother and daughter are a metonym as they are a part
representing the whole (Study
Guide CMM19 2013, p. 34), in this case a family. yes
Having determined the denotations of the sign, the watch and
rings can be classed as fetish items.
Yes but fetish objects displace hidden desires They are not
necessities, but “designed to enhance
the consumer’s identity or lifestyle and to suggest hidden
desires” (Study Guide CMM19 2013, p.
41). What is the hidden desire? This is supported by the
syntagm, or the combination of signs
(Study Guide CMM19 2013, p. 22) that we see in this text.
These signifiers were selected from a
paradigm, or range, of choices (Thwaites et. al. 2002, p. 43).
They combine into a syntagm
signifying an affluent family full of beauty and preciousness.
This is also an example of the
cultural imaginary (Study Guide CMM19 2013, p. 7). Readers
aspire to own Patek Philippe
jewellery believing it will signify that they are now living the
good life. Generally sound with
some very good points. You’ve missed an opportunity to
10. analyse the hidden desire however.
Commutation Test
A commutation test is conducted to test the paradigmatic value
of the signifiers in a text
changing or interchanging different elements of the signifiers
present (Study Guide
CMM19 2013, p. 25). ✓ The signifier of the woman could be
tested by altering her
appearance. Changing her hair colour from brown to blonde
would not necessarily change the
connotation of elegance; however the sign would lose its
meaning as a metonym for family and
the connotation of the mother/daughter relationship would not
be so apparent. Thus the physical
appearance of the woman and child and the familial
resemblance between the two has a high
certain paradigmatic value.
11. Another signifier that has a high paradigmatic value is the
clothes that the mother is wearing.
Exchanging the simple, yet classic top she is currently wearing
for a ratty tracksuit would not
alter the mother/daughter connotation, but would alter that of
elegance and femininity and the
connotation of Patek Philippe as a luxury brand would
disappear. But this is not a likely signifier
here.
A third commutation test could be carried out on the sketchpad
as a signifier, replacing the
drawing with maths homework. Whilst the comparison drawn
between the product and the
artwork could no longer take place, the connotations of family
and beauty are not altered, nor is
the overall meaning of the text. The connotations of
preciousness and beauty could still be
drawn, indicating that the paradigmatic value of the sketchpad
is not as high as the appearance or
12. clothes of the people in the image. ✓
Good work.
The Gaze
The addresser and addressee are positions both constructed and
linked by the text (Study Guide
CMM19 2013, p 11). In this case the authorial presence of the
addresser is indirectly addressing
the reader. ✓ Both the woman and the girl are looking at the
sketchpad in front of them, and
the reader “is given the role of voyeur” (Glossary of terms
CMM19 2013, p. 6). Bearing witness
rather than voyeurism But however oblivious the woman is to
the reader, she would be fully
aware of the image she is projecting: feminine and elegant, yet
maternal. As a subject of the
male gaze she is constantly aware of how she appears and her
capacity to be looked at by men
(Study Guide CMM19 2013, pp. 13-14). ✓
13. Sturken and Cartwright (2001, p. 76) suggest that women are
presented as being either a sexual
being or a maternal figure by the media. ✓ The demure clothing
and conservative hairstyle
chosen from a paradigm of signifiers suggest she is portraying
the maternal figure. However she
is still very attractive according to modern conventions: slim
and pretty, with a perfect, clear
complexion and glossy hair. Together with the young girl they
“conform to a rigid set of
normative codes about beauty” and “go hand in hand with an
image culture which incites
women, and increasingly men, to see themselves and their
appearance as inadequate in some
way.” (Sturken & Cartwright 2001, p. 82). ✓
The addressee produced by the text is someone who aspires to
the myths of beauty and affluence
in the text. A woman who reads the text is a female wishing to
be the subject of the male gaze
(Study Guide CMM19 2013, p. 14).
14. Good work on the gaze, but more needed on the way the two
figures are looking in terms of the
maternal gaze.
Myth and Ideology
When analysing text, myths are metonyms; they are a single
particular idea that ends up
representing everything in that system. (Thwaites et. al. 2002,
p. 67)
Myths present in this text include the myth of female beauty, as
identified by Dyer (1997, p. 122)
as “the white woman”, the myth of females being the nurturing
sex, the myth of the innocence of
childhood and the myth of the good life. Also myth of the
nurturing mother
The reader accepts these connotations and myths as normal and
they fit together to form a
coherent pattern or ideology (O’Sullivan et. al. 1994, p. 287). ✓
In this case the ideology of the
perfect family. ✓ These myths and ideology ies naturalise the
meaning of the perfect family to
15. being western and white, middle to upper middle class, with two
parents of which the mother
takes on the role of nurturing and raising children.✓ avoid
running myth and
ideology together. Do not give the impression that they are
one and the same thing
This is an example of binary opposition where the strategy of
othering is used (Study Guide
CMM19 2013, pp. 31-32). This ideological family is set up as
being normal or unmarked, whilst
any family that does not resemble this is abnormal or marked
(Study Guide CMM19 2013, pp.
32-33). This results in the text excluding childless adults,
families of other races, single-parent
families or families of lower classes as ever being classed as a
perfect family.
Good work
Dominant, Negotiated, and Oppositional Readings
16. Reading the text at face value, accepting the interaction
between the signs and making the
denotations as intended is considered a dominant reading of the
text (Study Guide CMM19 2013,
p. 49). The preciousness and beauty of the watch and ring
signified in the image is accepted by
the reader, as is the notion that Patek Philippe is a luxury brand
and owning their jewellery will
equate to living an affluent lifestyle. The reader would also
acknowledge the investment as
comparable to investing in something as precious as children
and family. ✓
If “the myths portrayed are questioned” and the reader “does
not completely inhabit the
addressee role” a negotiated reading is taking place (Thwaites
et. al. 2002, p. 92). Reading this
text it could be acknowledged that wearing an expensive watch
and jewellery may be a sign of
affluence, but that buying them does not necessarily make one
affluent. The reader could also
start to question the comparison between family and jewellery;
having an expensive watch and
17. ring does not ensure a perfect family. ✓
In an oppositional reading the myths present in the text are
exposed and the addressee role is
rejected (Thwaites et. al. 2002, p. 92). The reader does not
aspire to be a part of the ideological
perfect family, and recognises that buying a fetish object does
not elevate anyone into a higher
class. Investing in luxury items is not attainable for everyone
and non-affluent people who aspire
to these ideals would be better investing money in their family,
not jewellery. ✓
Good.
