Introduction. This paragraph does not have a title. The title page serves as the title. Scholarly writing includes three to seven sentences in a paragraph. However, three to five short distinct sentences will be sufficient. Paragraphs should not be one page or longer in length. Here is a model to help you. Use the acronym MEAL when writing paragraphs with APA 7th edition citations.
MEAL:
Main idea. Introduce the focus of the paragraph.
Evidence. Support the main idea with source information.
Analysis. Explain and analyze the source information.
Lead out. Conclude the topic, like a conclusion paragraph.
Remember that perfection is not the goal. There will be always room for improvement. Being detail oriented does not equal perfection; however, it enables you to move toward scholarship. Use LopesWrite to stress clear, concise, and research writing. Avoid Plagiarism and Direct Quotes.
1st paragraph is titled Comprehension Strategies (Level 1 heading)
This is a Level 1 heading, and it is centered and bolded, and the initial word and each word of four or more letters is capitalized. The heading is a short descriptor of a section.

Blockchain A blockchain is a continuously growing list of record.docxmoirarandell
Blockchain
A blockchain is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block typically contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp and transaction data. By design, a blockchain is inherently resistant to modification of the data. It is "an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way". For use as a distributed ledger, a blockchain is typically managed by a peer-to-peer network collectively adhering to a protocol for inter-node communication and validating new blocks. Once recorded, the data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks, which requires collusion of the network majority.
Blockchains are secure by design. Decentralized consensus has therefore been achieved with a blockchain. This makes blockchains potentially suitable for the recording of events, medical records, and other records management activities, such as identity management, transaction processing, documenting provenance, food traceability or voting.
Blockchain was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 for use in the cryptocurrency bitcoin, as its public transaction ledger. The invention of the blockchain for bitcoin made it the first digital currency to solve the double-spending problem without the need of a trusted authority or central server. The bitcoin design has been the inspiration for other applications.

Abstract
An abstract is optional and is a general overview of the content covered in your paper. The abstract should be no more than 250 words. In general class assignments, the abstract may not be required. Please check with you instructor regarding this requirement. For the running head above, the words Running head: should be in the same 12-point font as the rest of the paper, only appear on the cover page, be on the same line as the page number, and be aligned with the left 1” margin. The paper title portion should be in all caps. For the second page and beyond, the running head should only include the paper title in all caps. The page numbers should be aligned at the right 1” margin.
Title of Your Paper
The initial paragraph is assumed in APA to include the introduction to your paper, and therefore does not require the heading of “Introduction”. Use the paper title as the initial paper heading, centered, not in bold, with major words capitalized. The heading and content should start at the top of the page with no extra spacing. The entire paper should be double-spaced with no extra spacing between headings or paragraphs. The first line of every paragraph should be indented 5-7 spaces, or .5” by default. This includes paragraphs following numbered lists and images. This section should “introduce” the reader to the content covered in your paper. In many ways, the introduction serves as a mini-outline for the rest of the paper. So, as you continue to write the remaining sections, make sure to only include the information related to what you have “introduced” in your introduction paragraph. To sum it up, this section should tell the audience what you are going to talk about in the Body.
Body
Use a level 1 APA heading appropriate for the content to introduce this section, centered and in bold. Do not use the Body heading. The “body” of your paper should expand on the concepts covered in your introduction. It is appropriate to have main and subtopics in this section. The main and subtopics should be identified by using the appropriate Level Heading. To sum it up, this section should talk about what you told the audience you were going to talk about in your Introduction. Use additional APA heading levels following an outline format for each new concept section in your paper. Level 1 is centered and in bold. Level 2 is left-aligned and in bold, level 3 is in the first line of the paragraph, in bold, and ending with a period., etc. Each heading should be appropriate for the content contained in the paragraphs under the heading.
Citing Your Sources
When using information from outside sources in your writing, you must cite those sources appropriately. As an example, if you are paraphrasing, follow the end of the information with a citation, then follow with the period to end the sent ...

Assessment 5 Context
Quantitative Methods: Experimental and Quasi-Experimental
Approaches
Experimental Research
Experimental studies compare the effect of one or more independent variables on one or more
dependent variables. The independent variable, or presumed cause, is manipulated by the
researcher. In this case, when a variable is manipulated or controlled by the researcher, this
means the research can control whether research participants are exposed to that variable.
The hallmark of experimental designs is the random assignment of participants to the levels of
the independent variable. Causation can be inferred in true experimental research. Certain
types of single-subject experiments can also be classified as experimental designs. As such,
causal attributions can be inferred (Meltzoff, 1998).
Research questions that require an experimental approach ask questions about the causal
effect of one variable on another. For example, a researcher might ask, "Does tutoring affect
test scores?" Because this question asks whether tutoring (the independent variable) affects
test scores (the dependent variable), it is asking about a causal relationship. This can only be
answered with confidence using an experimental approach, which would require the researcher
to be able to manipulate tutoring. In other words, the researcher must be able to randomly
assign research participants to receive tutoring or not receive it, and compare the test scores of
the two groups. If there is a statistically significant difference, the researcher is in a position to
be able to conclude that tutoring caused the difference in the test scores.
Quasi-Experimental Research
Quasi-experimental research designs come in many different forms. Like experimental
research, the researcher aims to compare the effect of one or more independent variables on
one or more dependent variables. However, the researcher does not or cannot randomly assign
participants to the comparison groups, due to ethical or logistical concerns, so cause-and-effect
relationships cannot be conclusively established.
Research questions that require a quasi-experimental approach ask about group differences or
differences in conditions. For example, a researcher might ask, "Is there a difference in test
scores of students enrolled in different sections of the same class?" A researcher would not
have assigned the students to be in one class section or another. The students either would

ABSTRACT
The Emergency Department (ED) is a key source of care for
victims of sexual violence but there is little information available about
the extent to which EDs are prepared to provide this care. This study
examines the structural and process factors that the ED has in place to
assist victims. A survey of all 82 publicly accessible EDs in the
Commonwealth of Virginia was conducted (RR 76%). In general, the
EDs provide the recommended medical care to victims. However, at
least half do not have the needed resources in place to effectively assist
victims and most (80%) do not provide regular training to their medical
staff about sexual violence. Further, almost one-quarter do not have a
relationship with a local rape crisis center. It is recommended that each
ED partner with local rape crisis centers to provide training to their
staff and to ensure continuity of support for victims. It is also
suggested that the state government explore ways in which a forensic
(SANE) nurse be made available to every victim of sexual violence that
presents to the ED for medical assistance. Ideally, each ED would
become part of a community-wide Sexual Assault Response Team
286 JHHSA WINTER 2006
(SART) in order to provide comprehensive care to victims and
thorough evidence collection and information to law enforcement.
INTRODUCTION
This study seeks to examine the extent to which
Emergency Departments (EDs) in the Commonwealth of
Virginia are prepared to provide care for victims of sexual
violence through an examination of both structural and
process factors that are currently in place. Many studies
indicate that sexual violence victimization has both long-
term and short-term health consequences (Plichta and Falik,
2001; see also Rentoul and Applebloom 1997; Cloutier,
Martin and Poole, 2002; Bohn and Holz, 1996). The ED is
a key source of care for victims of sexual assault. It is one
of the first points of entry to care. Competent care by
professionals trained in treating sexual assault victims is
critical to the timely recovery of physical and mental
health. The ED also plays a critical role in the collection of
evidence that may lead to the conviction of the perpetrator
and a recent study found that specially trained (forensic)
nurses perform this function significantly better than do
other staff (Sievers, Murphy and Miller, 2003). Forensic
nurses are registered nurses (R.N.’s) who have advanced
training in the examination of sexual assault victims; this
includes training on legal aspe.

The Elements and Principles of Design A Guide to Design Term.docxtodd701
The Elements and Principles of Design
A Guide to Design Terminology
The elements of design are some of the basic building blocks that make up the design or artwork.
Understanding and using this terminology can help the designer articulate what works and what doesn’t
work in a design, and to think critically about a design on a more conscious level. Combined, the elements
and principles of design can make for a strong, complete and well-established composition. The principles
of Gestalt, which arise from the elements of design, are included at the end of this document. Learning to
use these elements and principles will be the focus of Beginning Design.
The elements of design are: Point, Line, Form, Value, Texture, Shape, Space, Color
(Color is covered in Art 110; we will be focusing on black, white, and gray scale values.)
DEFINITIONS:
A Point is a position in space.
A Line is the path of a moving point. Two points connected make a line. Lines often imply motion, and can
be rendered in a variety of ways. Contour lines or outlines, define the boundary between shapes. Lines can
create texture or value when used in crosshatching. In addition to these types of actual lines, our eyes can
invent implied lines, such as in dotted lines, or where area boundaries describe lines that may not be there.
Shape is a two dimensional form. The variety of possible shapes is endless. Several common ones are as
follows:
• Simple Geometric: circles, squares, triangles are some of the examples.
• Complex Geometric: straight and curved shapes that have more sides and angles.
• Curvilinear: French curves, ellipses, circles and ovals used in combination.
• Accidental: an example of this might be a coffee ring or paint splatters.
Form is a shape with dimension, an object existing in three dimensional space physically or implied.
Value is the tone created by black, white and shades of gray. The value or tone of an element can create
mass, dimension, emphasis or volume.
Texture can be actual or visual.
• Actual texture is tactile: you can feel it by touching it.
• Visual texture are the markings of a two dimensional artwork that imply actual texture.
Space is an illusion or feeling of 3-dimensionality, which can be created in a two-dimensional design in
several ways, for example:
• Overlapping one object in front of another;
• Using differences in value, amount of detail, etc. between elements;
• Using techniques related to linear perspective, such as differences in size or height on page between
elements
The principles of design are: Unity, Variety, Movement, Balance, Emphasis, Contrast, Proportion,
and Pattern.
DEFINITIONS:
Unity or harmony is the quality of wholeness or oneness that is achieved through the effective use of the
elements and principles of design. The most basic quality of a design or artwork, unity gives a piece the
feeling of being an integrated human expression. The princi.

The document provides instructions for a 2,000 word essay discussing how the emergence of human resource management in the UK during the 1980s represented a new form of managerialism and was instrumental in increasing work intensification. The essay should include a minimum of 15 academic sources, follow a clear structure with an introduction, literature review, conclusions, and references section, and demonstrate accurate presentation of evidence and a well-supported argument.
The eligibility requirements to become a family nurse practition.docxtodd701
The eligibility requirements to become a family nurse practitioner include completion of “APRN core (advance physical assessment, advanced pharmacology, and advanced pathophysiology), supervised clinical hours, completion of an accredited graduate program with evidence of an academic transcript, and an active nurse license” (American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, 2021).
The value associated with certification as an FNP is very personal to me. Along with providing higher quality care to clientele, I will have a more fulfilled inner sense of purpose and also be able to provide for my family in a higher capacity than I was previously able to, with an estimated average nurse practitioner salary being over $100,000 annually in the state of Wisconsin. Achieving both my master's and nurse practitioner certification would allow my employer, fellow professional comrades, and most of all; my clients, to have a higher sense of security knowing I’ve worked and studied hard to bring them the highest quality care available. Staying up to date on my continuing education and state-of-the-art processes and pathology will also instill confidence in my clientele to not only continue coming to me with their individual and family healthcare needs but likely will ensure referrals into my practice.
Any time a nurse genuinely takes on a holistic approach towards the practical application of nursing theory, a client is in a better position for patient-centered care, maintaining anonymity, and ensuring positive effective communication during the care process. In the nursing profession, nurses need to not only advocate for their clients, but themselves by participating in associations that work towards advancing the field through by working towards lower nurse-to-client ratios to decrease burnout, leadership education, and opportunity, and also grants to advance continuing education.

Blockchain A blockchain is a continuously growing list of record.docxmoirarandell
Blockchain
A blockchain is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block typically contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp and transaction data. By design, a blockchain is inherently resistant to modification of the data. It is "an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way". For use as a distributed ledger, a blockchain is typically managed by a peer-to-peer network collectively adhering to a protocol for inter-node communication and validating new blocks. Once recorded, the data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks, which requires collusion of the network majority.
Blockchains are secure by design. Decentralized consensus has therefore been achieved with a blockchain. This makes blockchains potentially suitable for the recording of events, medical records, and other records management activities, such as identity management, transaction processing, documenting provenance, food traceability or voting.
Blockchain was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 for use in the cryptocurrency bitcoin, as its public transaction ledger. The invention of the blockchain for bitcoin made it the first digital currency to solve the double-spending problem without the need of a trusted authority or central server. The bitcoin design has been the inspiration for other applications.

Abstract
An abstract is optional and is a general overview of the content covered in your paper. The abstract should be no more than 250 words. In general class assignments, the abstract may not be required. Please check with you instructor regarding this requirement. For the running head above, the words Running head: should be in the same 12-point font as the rest of the paper, only appear on the cover page, be on the same line as the page number, and be aligned with the left 1” margin. The paper title portion should be in all caps. For the second page and beyond, the running head should only include the paper title in all caps. The page numbers should be aligned at the right 1” margin.
Title of Your Paper
The initial paragraph is assumed in APA to include the introduction to your paper, and therefore does not require the heading of “Introduction”. Use the paper title as the initial paper heading, centered, not in bold, with major words capitalized. The heading and content should start at the top of the page with no extra spacing. The entire paper should be double-spaced with no extra spacing between headings or paragraphs. The first line of every paragraph should be indented 5-7 spaces, or .5” by default. This includes paragraphs following numbered lists and images. This section should “introduce” the reader to the content covered in your paper. In many ways, the introduction serves as a mini-outline for the rest of the paper. So, as you continue to write the remaining sections, make sure to only include the information related to what you have “introduced” in your introduction paragraph. To sum it up, this section should tell the audience what you are going to talk about in the Body.
Body
Use a level 1 APA heading appropriate for the content to introduce this section, centered and in bold. Do not use the Body heading. The “body” of your paper should expand on the concepts covered in your introduction. It is appropriate to have main and subtopics in this section. The main and subtopics should be identified by using the appropriate Level Heading. To sum it up, this section should talk about what you told the audience you were going to talk about in your Introduction. Use additional APA heading levels following an outline format for each new concept section in your paper. Level 1 is centered and in bold. Level 2 is left-aligned and in bold, level 3 is in the first line of the paragraph, in bold, and ending with a period., etc. Each heading should be appropriate for the content contained in the paragraphs under the heading.
Citing Your Sources
When using information from outside sources in your writing, you must cite those sources appropriately. As an example, if you are paraphrasing, follow the end of the information with a citation, then follow with the period to end the sent ...

Assessment 5 Context
Quantitative Methods: Experimental and Quasi-Experimental
Approaches
Experimental Research
Experimental studies compare the effect of one or more independent variables on one or more
dependent variables. The independent variable, or presumed cause, is manipulated by the
researcher. In this case, when a variable is manipulated or controlled by the researcher, this
means the research can control whether research participants are exposed to that variable.
The hallmark of experimental designs is the random assignment of participants to the levels of
the independent variable. Causation can be inferred in true experimental research. Certain
types of single-subject experiments can also be classified as experimental designs. As such,
causal attributions can be inferred (Meltzoff, 1998).
Research questions that require an experimental approach ask questions about the causal
effect of one variable on another. For example, a researcher might ask, "Does tutoring affect
test scores?" Because this question asks whether tutoring (the independent variable) affects
test scores (the dependent variable), it is asking about a causal relationship. This can only be
answered with confidence using an experimental approach, which would require the researcher
to be able to manipulate tutoring. In other words, the researcher must be able to randomly
assign research participants to receive tutoring or not receive it, and compare the test scores of
the two groups. If there is a statistically significant difference, the researcher is in a position to
be able to conclude that tutoring caused the difference in the test scores.
Quasi-Experimental Research
Quasi-experimental research designs come in many different forms. Like experimental
research, the researcher aims to compare the effect of one or more independent variables on
one or more dependent variables. However, the researcher does not or cannot randomly assign
participants to the comparison groups, due to ethical or logistical concerns, so cause-and-effect
relationships cannot be conclusively established.
Research questions that require a quasi-experimental approach ask about group differences or
differences in conditions. For example, a researcher might ask, "Is there a difference in test
scores of students enrolled in different sections of the same class?" A researcher would not
have assigned the students to be in one class section or another. The students either would

ABSTRACT
The Emergency Department (ED) is a key source of care for
victims of sexual violence but there is little information available about
the extent to which EDs are prepared to provide this care. This study
examines the structural and process factors that the ED has in place to
assist victims. A survey of all 82 publicly accessible EDs in the
Commonwealth of Virginia was conducted (RR 76%). In general, the
EDs provide the recommended medical care to victims. However, at
least half do not have the needed resources in place to effectively assist
victims and most (80%) do not provide regular training to their medical
staff about sexual violence. Further, almost one-quarter do not have a
relationship with a local rape crisis center. It is recommended that each
ED partner with local rape crisis centers to provide training to their
staff and to ensure continuity of support for victims. It is also
suggested that the state government explore ways in which a forensic
(SANE) nurse be made available to every victim of sexual violence that
presents to the ED for medical assistance. Ideally, each ED would
become part of a community-wide Sexual Assault Response Team
286 JHHSA WINTER 2006
(SART) in order to provide comprehensive care to victims and
thorough evidence collection and information to law enforcement.
INTRODUCTION
This study seeks to examine the extent to which
Emergency Departments (EDs) in the Commonwealth of
Virginia are prepared to provide care for victims of sexual
violence through an examination of both structural and
process factors that are currently in place. Many studies
indicate that sexual violence victimization has both long-
term and short-term health consequences (Plichta and Falik,
2001; see also Rentoul and Applebloom 1997; Cloutier,
Martin and Poole, 2002; Bohn and Holz, 1996). The ED is
a key source of care for victims of sexual assault. It is one
of the first points of entry to care. Competent care by
professionals trained in treating sexual assault victims is
critical to the timely recovery of physical and mental
health. The ED also plays a critical role in the collection of
evidence that may lead to the conviction of the perpetrator
and a recent study found that specially trained (forensic)
nurses perform this function significantly better than do
other staff (Sievers, Murphy and Miller, 2003). Forensic
nurses are registered nurses (R.N.’s) who have advanced
training in the examination of sexual assault victims; this
includes training on legal aspe.

The Elements and Principles of Design A Guide to Design Term.docxtodd701
The Elements and Principles of Design
A Guide to Design Terminology
The elements of design are some of the basic building blocks that make up the design or artwork.
Understanding and using this terminology can help the designer articulate what works and what doesn’t
work in a design, and to think critically about a design on a more conscious level. Combined, the elements
and principles of design can make for a strong, complete and well-established composition. The principles
of Gestalt, which arise from the elements of design, are included at the end of this document. Learning to
use these elements and principles will be the focus of Beginning Design.
The elements of design are: Point, Line, Form, Value, Texture, Shape, Space, Color
(Color is covered in Art 110; we will be focusing on black, white, and gray scale values.)
DEFINITIONS:
A Point is a position in space.
A Line is the path of a moving point. Two points connected make a line. Lines often imply motion, and can
be rendered in a variety of ways. Contour lines or outlines, define the boundary between shapes. Lines can
create texture or value when used in crosshatching. In addition to these types of actual lines, our eyes can
invent implied lines, such as in dotted lines, or where area boundaries describe lines that may not be there.
Shape is a two dimensional form. The variety of possible shapes is endless. Several common ones are as
follows:
• Simple Geometric: circles, squares, triangles are some of the examples.
• Complex Geometric: straight and curved shapes that have more sides and angles.
• Curvilinear: French curves, ellipses, circles and ovals used in combination.
• Accidental: an example of this might be a coffee ring or paint splatters.
Form is a shape with dimension, an object existing in three dimensional space physically or implied.
Value is the tone created by black, white and shades of gray. The value or tone of an element can create
mass, dimension, emphasis or volume.
Texture can be actual or visual.
• Actual texture is tactile: you can feel it by touching it.
• Visual texture are the markings of a two dimensional artwork that imply actual texture.
Space is an illusion or feeling of 3-dimensionality, which can be created in a two-dimensional design in
several ways, for example:
• Overlapping one object in front of another;
• Using differences in value, amount of detail, etc. between elements;
• Using techniques related to linear perspective, such as differences in size or height on page between
elements
The principles of design are: Unity, Variety, Movement, Balance, Emphasis, Contrast, Proportion,
and Pattern.
DEFINITIONS:
Unity or harmony is the quality of wholeness or oneness that is achieved through the effective use of the
elements and principles of design. The most basic quality of a design or artwork, unity gives a piece the
feeling of being an integrated human expression. The princi.

The eligibility requirements to become a family nurse practition.docxtodd701
The eligibility requirements to become a family nurse practitioner include completion of “APRN core (advance physical assessment, advanced pharmacology, and advanced pathophysiology), supervised clinical hours, completion of an accredited graduate program with evidence of an academic transcript, and an active nurse license” (American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, 2021).
The value associated with certification as an FNP is very personal to me. Along with providing higher quality care to clientele, I will have a more fulfilled inner sense of purpose and also be able to provide for my family in a higher capacity than I was previously able to, with an estimated average nurse practitioner salary being over $100,000 annually in the state of Wisconsin. Achieving both my master's and nurse practitioner certification would allow my employer, fellow professional comrades, and most of all; my clients, to have a higher sense of security knowing I’ve worked and studied hard to bring them the highest quality care available. Staying up to date on my continuing education and state-of-the-art processes and pathology will also instill confidence in my clientele to not only continue coming to me with their individual and family healthcare needs but likely will ensure referrals into my practice.
Any time a nurse genuinely takes on a holistic approach towards the practical application of nursing theory, a client is in a better position for patient-centered care, maintaining anonymity, and ensuring positive effective communication during the care process. In the nursing profession, nurses need to not only advocate for their clients, but themselves by participating in associations that work towards advancing the field through by working towards lower nurse-to-client ratios to decrease burnout, leadership education, and opportunity, and also grants to advance continuing education.

ABSTRACT
Creating and running software produces large amounts of raw data
about the development process and the customer usage, which can
be turned into actionable insight with the help of skilled data scien-
tists. Unfortunately, data scientists with the analytical and software
engineering skills to analyze these large data sets have been hard to
come by; only recently have software companies started to develop
competencies in software-oriented data analytics. To understand
this emerging role, we interviewed data scientists across several
product groups at Microsoft. In this paper, we describe their educa-
tion and training background, their missions in software engineer-
ing contexts, and the type of problems on which they work. We
identify five distinct working styles of data scientists: (1) Insight
Providers, who work with engineers to collect the data needed to
inform decisions that managers make; (2) Modeling Specialists,
who use their machine learning expertise to build predictive mod-
els; (3) Platform Builders, who create data platforms, balancing
both engineering and data analysis concerns; (4) Polymaths, who
do all data science activities themselves; and (5) Team Leaders,
who run teams of data scientists and spread best practices. We fur-
ther describe a set of strategies that they employ to increase the im-
pact and actionability of their work.

1. INTRODUCTION
Software teams are increasingly using data analysis to inform their
engineering and business decisions [1] and to build data solutions
that utilize data in software products [2]. The people who do col-
lection and analysis are called data scientists, a term coined by DJ
Patil and Jeff Hammerbacher in 2008 to define their jobs at
LinkedIn and Facebook [3]. The mission of a data scientist is to
transform data into insight, providing guidance for leaders to take
action [4]. One example is the use of user telemetry data to redesign
Windows Explorer (a tool for file management) for Windows 8.
Data scientists on the Windows team discovered that the top ten
most frequent commands accounted for 81.2% of all of invoked
commands, but only two of these were easily accessible from the
command bar in the user interface 8 [5]. Based on this insight, the
team redesigned the user experience to make these hidden com-
mands more prominent.
Until recently, data scientists were found mostly on software teams
whose products were data-intensive, like internet search and adver-
tising. Today, we have reached an inflection point where many.

The economic and financial crisis from 2008 to 2009, also known .docxtodd701
The economic and financial crisis from 2008 to 2009, also known as the global financial crisis, was considered to be the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. The general situation of financial markets has been additionally complicated by the introduction of new financial products as well as other modes of operations including globalization. The global financial market seems to be playing a different function in our economy and it has been working because of new regulations. The introduction of new trade platforms, online access to information, integration and globalization of the market have caused some revisions of finance theories.
What are reliable predictors of economic and financial crises (list at least 3 of them)?
Describe some achievements and some pending issues in context of a global crisis.
Are we still in danger of economic and financial crises today (please refer to current Covid-19 situation)?
Instructions:
Conduct research from viable and credible sources such as and not limited to economic journals, periodicals, books, data base, and websites. This assignment should be submitted/uploaded via D2L on the date the assignment is due. Any late assignments will be subject to a letter grade reduction unless an extension has been negotiated with the professor prior to the due date.
In this written assignment, the quality of your writing and the application of APA format will be evaluated in addition to your content.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Monetary policies promote price stability and economic growth
in Nigeria. Ajayi and Aluko (2017) stated monetary policy is
primarily concerned with the management of interest rates and
the regulation of money supply in the economy. Imoisi (2019)
claimed most nations use interest rates to achieve price
stability, and Nigeria’s goal is to achieve sustainable economic
growth. Okwori and Abu (2017) added economic growth causes
variations in interest rates. Ayodeji and Oluwole (2018)
revealed interest rates had a positive but slightly insignificant
effect on economic growth in Nigeria. Furthermore, Ufoeze,
Odimgbe, Ezeabalisi and Alajekwu’s (2018) research clearly
showed interest rates effects 98% of the variations in economic
growth in Nigeria. Interest rates have shown to significantly
effect Nigeria’s economy; however, other monetary policies
may be a predictor of Nigeria’s economic growth.
There is a gap in the literature relative to other monetary
policies that may be a predictor of Nigeria’s growth. The aim of
this study is to examine to what extent monetary policy rate,
cash reserve ratio, liquidity ratio, and money supply predict
consumer price index. Imoisi (2018) claimed there is an existing
gap in the literature relative to the effectiveness of monetary
policies. Inam and Ime (2017) recommended further research to
understand if the predicative relationship between the actual
level of money supply and price stability. Lawal, Somoye,
Babajide, and Nwanji, (2018) further specified a detailed study
should be conducted showing the variations and interactions
between monetary and fiscal policies and how they predict price
stability in Nigeria. This study seeks to examine if and to what
extent economic indicators other than interest rates, specifically
monetary policy rate, cash reserve ratio, liquidity ratio, and
15. money supply, predict consumer price index in Nigeria.

Background of the Study Comment by GCU: This heading uses
the style “Heading 2” [3.03].
Price instability is a problem for developing countries. Manu
(2018) stated price instability is the main problem for Africa
and Nigeria during the past thirty years. Studies conducted by
Gertler and Gilchrist (1991), Batini (2004), Folawewo and
Osinubi (2006), Onyemu (2012), and Fasanya et al. (2013)
noted irrespective of efforts aimed at achieving
macroeconomics objectives by means of monetary policy, there
has been an unacceptable rate of inflation, especially in less
17. developed economies. Nigeria is not an exception to this rule.
Nigeria is an oil rich nation plagued with price instability.
Ayodeji and Oluwole (2018) stated monetary policy is the tool
used in achieving monetary and price stability. Itodo, Akadiri
and Ekundayo (2017) stated price instability tops the list of
economic challenges negatively affecting the Nigerian economic
environment. Imoisi (2019) added price instability causes the
problem of unmanageable economic growth and development in
Nigeria. Ayodeji and Oluwole (2018) stated that the Nigerian
economy has also witnessed periods of growth and shrinkage
with an unmanageable growth pattern. Imoisi (2018) stated
monetary policy if targeted directly towards inflation stimulates
growth directly. Nevertheless, the issue of whether monetary
policy effectively curtails price instability is still unsolved.
There is a gap in the literature relative to other monetary
policies that may be a predictor of Nigeria’s growth. The aim of
this study is to examine to what extent monetary policy rate,
cash reserve ratio, liquidity ratio, and money supply predict
consumer price index. Imoisi (2018) analyzed how monetary
policies promoted economic growth in Nigeria from 1980-2017.
The result showed approximately 62% of gross domestic
product (GDP) is explained by variables monetary policy rate,
cash reserve ratio, liquidity ratio, and money supply. Imoisi
concluded monetary policies did not have a significant impact
on Nigeria’s economic growth in the short run but significantly
affected the country’s growth in the long run. Imoisi (2018)
claimed there is an existing gap in the literature relative to the
effectiveness of monetary policies. Ubi-Abai and Ekere (2018)
analyzed the effects of fiscal and monetary policies on
economic growth in a panel of 47 sub-Saharan African
economies from 1996 to 2016. The findings showed that fiscal
and monetary policies affected economic growth positively in
the sub-region. Ubi-Abail and Ekere stated it is not clear how
other monetary policies strategies effectively curtails price
instability in the sub-Saharan region and therefore
recommended future research examine this problem. Lawal,
18. Somoye, Babajide, and Nwanji, (2018) examined the impact of
the interactions between fiscal and monetary policies on stock
market behavior (ASI) and the impact of the volatility of these
interactions on the Nigerian stock market. The study analyzed
monthly data using the ARDL and EGARCH models. The results
show the interaction between monetary and fiscal policies
influence on stock market returns in Nigeria. The ARDL results
show evidence of long run relationship between stock market
behavior (ASI) and Monetary-fiscal policies. The results from
the volatility estimates showed the stock market behavior (ASI)
volatility is largely sensitive to volatility in the interactions
between the two policy instruments. Future research was
recommended to examine the relationship between monetary
policies and price variations in the Nigerian economy. This
study seeks to examine if and to what extent economic
indicators other than interest rates, specifically monetary policy
rate, cash reserve ratio, liquidity ratio, and money supply,
predict consumer price index in Nigeria. Comment by Roselyn

7/3/19: RKP: Hi Michael. Very good work on the revisions. I
have determined you understand the research process and have
sufficient knowledge base and alignment to move forward to the
proposal. Make sure any comments provided here are also
addressed in the proposal. Basically, there is still a continued
need to understand the analysis but that isn’t something learned
overnight. Too, the analysis doesn’t appear to match how the
RQs are framed. So continue to work on these. Nice discussion
on study’s and their years ranges as that works toward
justification of your study number of years. Overall, you have
made significant progress. Congratulations on reaching this
important milestone.
6/5/19: RKP: Hi Michael. Nice to meet you. Interesting study. It
appears I will learn a lot about economic indicators during our
journey together. While a very nice start, there is need to
clarify, define and expand some sections. My reaching out for
some clarity on sample size since you have a finite sample lead
to a minor revision of the problem statement (apply to purpose
and RQs as needed) and questions about the unit of observation.
22. Give you only have 52 years and 4 variables (normal sample
size would be +114), how are you going to address this when it
comes to test assumptions? Will you have enough data to get a
decent effect size and possible significance? what are the
implications of a small sample size in QT regression analysis?
Those are all concerns you must not only take into account but
must be prepared to defend.
· questions that arose when reached out to other methodologists
for clarity: For example, is the analysis about YEARS? Are
YEARS the unit of observation? For example, take the variable
LIQUIDITY RATIO. Are the raw data the value for this
variable for each of the years in the study? If so, then n = 52,
the number of data years, right?
Writing: there appears to be good sentence and paragraph
structure. As you continue and especially when moving to the
prospectus ensure you have synthesis evident, remembering
synthesis is more than just multiple authors in the same
paragraph. Also begin to introduce some critical thought.
Formatting of looks good but some errors in formatting appear

The Prospectus Overview and Instructions
The prospectus is brief document that serves as a road map for
the dissertation. It provides the essential framework to guide the
development of the dissertation proposal. The prospectus builds
on the 10 Strategic Points (shown in Appendix A) and should be
no longer than 6-10 pages, excluding the criteria tables and the
appendices. The prospectus will be expanded to become the
dissertation proposal (Chapters 1, 2 and 3 of the dissertation),
which will, in turn, be expanded to become the complete
dissertation (Chapters 1-5). In short, the prospectus is a plan for
the proposal. Prior to developing the prospectus, the 10
Strategic points should be reviewed with the chair and
committee to ensure the points are aligned and form a clear,
defined, and doable study. The10 Strategic Points should be
included in Appendix A of this prospectus document.
It is important to ensure the prospectus is well written from the
very first draft. The most important consideration when writing
the prospectus is using the required criteria specified in the
criterion table below each section and writing specifically to
each criterion! Also critical is for learners to follow standard
paragraph structure: (1) contains a topic sentence defining the
focus of the paragraph, (2) discusses only that single topic, (3)
contains three to five sentences, and (4) includes a transition
sentence to the next paragraph or section. The sentences should
25. also be structurally correct, short, and focused. Throughout the
dissertation process, learners are expected to always produce a
well-written document as committee members and peer
reviewers will not edit writing. If prospectus it is not well
written, reviewers may reject the document and require the
learner to address writing issues before they will review it
again. Remove this page and the sample criterion table below
upon submission for review.
Prospectus Instructions:
1. Read the entire Prospectus Template to understand the
requirements for writing your prospectus. Each section contains
a narrative overview of what should be included in the section
and a table with required criteria for each section. WRITE TO
THE CRITERIA, as they will be used to assess the prospectus
for overall quality and feasibility of your proposed research
study.
2. As you draft each section, delete the narrative instructions
and insert your work related to that section. Use the criterion
table for each section to ensure that you address the
requirements for that particular section. Do not delete/remove
the criterion table as this is used by you and your committee to
evaluate your prospectus.
3. Prior to submitting your prospectus for review by your chair
or methodologist, use the criteria table for each section to
complete a realistic self-evaluation, inserting what you believe
is your score for each listed criterion into the Learner Self-
Evaluation column. This is an exercise in self-evaluation and
critical reflection, and to ensure that you completed all sections,
addressing all required criteria for that section.
4. The scoring for the criteria ranges from a 0-3 as defined
below. Complete a realistic and thoughtful evaluation of your
work. Your chair and methodologist will also use the criterion
tables to evaluate your work.
5. Your Prospectus should be no longer than 6-10 pages when
26. the tables are deleted.

Dissertation Prospectus
Introduction
Monetary policies promote price stability and economic growth
in Nigeria. Ajayi and Aluko (2017) stated monetary policy is
primarily concerned with the management of interest rates and
the regulation of money supply in the economy. Imoisi (2019)
claimed most nations use interest rates to achieve price
stability, and Nigeria’s goal is to achieve sustainable economic
growth. Okwori and Abu (2017) added economic growth causes
variations in interest rates. Ayodeji and Oluwole (2018)
revealed interest rates had a positive but slightly insignificant
effect on economic growth in Nigeria. Furthermore, Ufoeze,
27. Odimgbe, Ezeabalisi and Alajekwu’s (2018) research clearly
showed interest rates effects 98% of the variations in economic
growth in Nigeria. Interest rates have shown to significantly
effect Nigeria’s economy; however, other monetary policies
may be a predictor of Nigeria’s economic growth.
There is a gap in the literature relative to other monetary
policies that may be a predictor of Nigeria’s growth. The aim of
this study is to examine to what extent monetary policy rate,
cash reserve ratio, liquidity ratio, and money supply predict
consumer price index. Imoisi (2018) claimed there is an existing
gap in the literature relative to the effectiveness of monetary
policies. Inam and Ime (2017) recommended further research to
understand if the predicative relationship between the actual
level of money supply and price stability. Lawal, Somoye,
Babajide, and Nwanji, (2018) further specified a detailed study
should be conducted showing the variations and interactions
between monetary and fiscal policies and how they predict price
stability in Nigeria. This study seeks to examine if and to what
extent economic indicators other than interest rates, specifically
monetary policy rate, cash reserve ratio, liquidity ratio, and
money supply, predict consumer price index in Nigeria.

Theoretical Foundations and Review of the Literature/Themes
The theoretical foundation for this research is on monetary
theory of inflation. This theory states change in money supply is
the major reason for changes in economic activities. When
monetary theory is put into practice, central banks, which
control monetary policy, can exercise a great deal of power over
economic growth rates. Monetarism refers to the followers of
M. Friedman who hold that “Only money matters” and as such,
monetary policy is a more potent instrument instruments than
fiscal policy in economic stabilization. Monetary theory states
that According to Friedman (1963), money supply is the key
factor affecting the wellbeing of the economy. According to
Ahuja (2011), monetarists argue that money has significant
effect on price level or inflation in the economy in the long run
and have real effects on output and employment in the short
run. According to Khabo, (2002), monetarists believe “money
matters” and therefore there is a direct link between monetary
sector and the real sector of the economy. Friedman (1963)
equally argued that changes in money supply will therefore have
both direct and indirect effect on spending and investment
respectively since money supply is substitutive not just for
bonds but also for many goods and services.
Review of the literature/themes.
Price stability. Imoisi (2018) mentioned Central banks must
focus on price stability as the primary objective of monetary
policy.
Monetary policy rate. Nwamuo (2018) stated monetary policy
rates moderate consumer prices, credit expansion,
exchange rates and other variables.
33. Liquidity Ratio. Itodo, Akadiri and Ekundayo (2017)
emphasized the importance of closely monitoring liquidity
because liquidity ratio significantly impacts the economy.
Cash Reserve Ratio. Udeh (2015) stated cash ratio is effective
for curtailing excess liquidity in the economy and can be easily
monitored daily since they are held by Central Bank of Nigeria.
Money Supply. Ibrahim (2019) mentioned targeting money
supply growth is considered an appropriate method of targeting
inflation in the Nigerian economy.

elements below. 1) Present each variable in a list format and
providethe following information for each one:· Variable
measurement: ordinal, categorical, nominal or continuous·
Conceptual definition—cited with literature· Operational
definition—how measured 2) What is the unit of analysis and
unit of observation for the studyThis YouTube variable is very
