1. Glenn: This chapter covers the different types and costs of health care. According to our reading, the cost of health care increases about 6% annually, and the new concentration of the health care industry is controlling overall cost. In the past, health care spending was not controlled, so providers could submit a claim for reimbursement and be automatically reimbursed with no penalty or incentive to control spending. I am sure that many claims were summited that were grossly over estimated, leading to higher health care costs for insurance companies and the consumers.

The project is the creation of a white paper.
Much of what happens in healthcare is about understanding the expectations of the many departments and personnel within the organization. Reimbursement drives the financial operations of healthcare organizations; each department affects the reimbursement process regarding timelines and the amount of money put into and taken out of the system. However, if departments do not follow the guidelines put into place or do not capture the necessary information, it can be detrimental to the reimbursement system.
An important role for patient financial services (PFS) personnel is to monitor the reimbursement process, analyze the reimbursement process, and suggest changes to help maximize the reimbursement. One way to make this process more efficient is by ensuring that the various departments and personnel are exposed to the necessary knowledge.
For your final project, you will assume the role of a supervisor within a PFS department and develop a white paper in which the necessary healthcare reimbursement knowledge is outlined.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules One, Three, and Five.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
†
Analyze the impacts of various healthcare departments and their interrelationships on the revenue cycle
†
Compare third-party payer policies through analysis of reimbursement guidelines for achieving timely and maximum reimbursements
†
Analyze organizational strategies for negotiating healthcare contracts with managed care organizations
†
Critique legal and ethical standards and policies in healthcare coding and billing for ensuring compliance with rules and regulations

Evaluate the use of reimbursement data for its purpose in case and utilization management and healthcare quality improvement as well as its impact on

Introduction
· Advertising as a tool for representing company’s personality;
· Legal regulations of advertising then and now (a brief history of governmental regulations of advertising);
· If there is a strict set of regulations and laws why advertising scandals even occur? (ambiguity)
The main topic of the paper is to showcase the role of language in advertising and describe the potential legal consequences that may occur when using language incorrectly.
Arguments (paragraphs):
1. Consumers often confuse legality with ethics; not all ethical issues can be regulated legally
· Discuss the concepts of puffery, reasonable consumer, misleading advertising deceptive advertising;
· Commercial exaggeration is legal and it is not possible to legislate against emotional appeals;
· Consumers sometimes take company’s tagline or claim too literally;
2. Governmental and industry self-regulative laws are very complex and can be misinterpreted by the company
· Discuss FTC and advertising standards;
· Failure to define correctly product’s or service’s category sometimes lead to legal issues;
· A high lack of clarity for digital advertising since many laws were written prior to the spread of computers and Internet;
3. A very minor number of marketers and advertisers resort to violation of industry self-regulations and use of unethical tactics.
· Tough competition puts pressure on companies and forces them to create eccentric campaigns to break through the clutter;
· Industry is actively fighting the advertising fraud;
For the following court cases examples it is needed to refer to the actual court documents in addition to the articles:
Discuss the following court cases and incorporate in the context of the essay.

Write a letter to an official in your state or local government. (Choose the individual in the level of government that will best address your issue). The purpose of this letter is to advocate for action with regards to your chosen health care environment issue.
Introduction
Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.
As health care leaders, it is important to understand strategies for advocating and lobbying elected officials. This can lead to the development of policies or laws that can help drive improved equity and outcomes for all participants in the health care environment as well as a more sustainable financial future.
Background and Context
As a master's-level health care practitioner, you may be expected to implement plans to ensure that initiatives designed to take advantage of economic opportunities for the organization are rolled out successfully and can be sustained over multiple years. Additionally, it is important to be able to envision how an initiative could be implemented in different contexts and for different purposes to ensure the investment remains a viable and positive asset to your organization or care setting.
As a master's-level practitioner, you will often be challenged to influence the health care environment in a variety of ways. This influence can occur on a micro-level (implementing change on your unit, institution, community, or local organizations) or at a macro level (implementing change via state or federal regulations and policy). One way you can influence the health care environment is by lobbying an elected official at the local, state, or national level to adopt policies or legislation that would support positive economic and health outcomes for patients, practitioners, and organizations within the health care environment.
Instructions
For this assessment, you will develop a letter to an official in your state or local government (choose the individual in the level of government that will best address your issue). The purpose of this letter is to advocate for action with regards to your chosen health care environment issue. Remember, when writing the letter, you must use your personal address and telephone number unless you are exclusively representing a group or your organization.
Be sure to address each main point. Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide, including performance-level descriptions for each criterion, to ensure you understand the work you will be asked to complete and how it will be assessed. In addition, note the requirements for document format and length and for supporting evidence.
Overall, your assessment submission will be assessed on the following criteria:

Healthcare Facility Proposal
Name:

Healthcare Facility Proposal
The provision of outpatient healthcare services in the United States is quickly growing as more investments into this sector come in. There is a great shift in healthcare services from inpatient to outpatient medical services. Among the outpatient healthcare services is the establishment of an outpatient pharmacy. I propose that a pharmacy should be established in the state of Florida, where I come from. The pharmacy should be big enough to possible serve the most people possible. The pharmacy would be open for service to the general public under the directions of the state’s hospital.
A pharmacy would be the best idea for one to put up in my state. The pharmacies are not just outlets for collection of drugs, as some may be made to believe. There is much more in store for the patient when he/she decides to get the services from a pharmacy. Pharmacies offer medicinal and health information and advice to the patients, given that the pharmacists are well trained in the medical and anatomical fields and they understand much on the expected effects of drugs on the body. Pharmacists also offer quick solutions to common weather-related infections such as common cold and influenza, thereby reducing congestion in hospitals. Expectant women and newborn babies and their mothers often require specialized attention in terms of medication and diet. The pharmacists are also well trained to handle such cases and give them the relevant medicinal and nutritional advice that they may need in their pursuit for health.
It is common nowadays for people to suffer from psychological disorders and other emotional distresses. Such patients can also get their services at the pharmacies. These disorders are just as dangerous and as prevalent as other physical diseases and disorders, and are sometimes caused by the effects of chemical imbalances in the body. The pharmacist is well trained to understand the possible imbalances that are likely to induce such mental disorders in the patients, and they therefore give forth the best medication and advice to the patients on how to overcome the disorders. The pharmacists are also well trained to offer therapy sessions to the patients, or they could have the psychiatrists and other experts in those fields at the pharmacies for these therapy sessions (Harding & Taylor, 2016). This helps to rationalize therapy sessions and reduce the costs related to therapy sessions.
Other services delivered at the pharmacies include immunizations to the new-born babies and the little children. This helps reduce the susceptibility of these children to common diseases that attack the infants’ immune system and could bring forth life-threatening diseases to them. Pha ...

For now, your boss has asked you to develop a draft of this paper for the hospital personnel only; in the future, there may be the potential to expand this for other facilities.
In order to complete the white paper, you will need to choose a hospital. You can choose one that you are familiar with or create an imaginary one. Hospitals vary in size, location, and focus. Becker’s Hospital Review has an excellent list of things to know about the hospital industry. Once you have determined the hospital, you will need to think about the way a patient visit works at the hospital you chose so you can review the processes and departments involved. There are several ways to accomplish this. Choose one of the following:
If you have been a patient in a hospital or if you know someone who has, you can use that experience as the basis for your responses. Conduct research through articles or get information from professional organizations.
Below is an example of how to begin framing your analysis.
A patient comes in through the emergency department. In this case, the patient would be triaged and seen in the emergency department. Think about what happens in an emergency area. The patient could be asked to change into a hospital gown (think about the costs of the gown and other supplies provided). If the patient is displaying signs of vomiting, plastic bags will be provided and possibly antinausea medication. Lab work and possibly x-rays would be done. The patient could be sent to surgery, sent home, or admitted as an inpatient. If he or she is admitted as an inpatient, meals will be provided and more tests will be ordered by the physician—again, more costs and charges for the patient bill. Throughout the course, you will be gathering additional information th.

You are a corporate compliance officer for a hospital. You are also a feature writer for
The Medical Reporter
, an online health magazine. The editor asks you to write an 8-10 page feature story about the steps you should take when fraud and abuse cases are reported to a facility. This is very timely as you recently received a call on your “hotline” regarding a potential fraud and abuse issue. The caller indicated that Dr. Greedy was billing for services that had not been provided. You are in danger of losing reimbursement for Medicare and Medicaid programs if this behavior is not stopped. Your feature should address the ethical and moral components that healthcare providers and healthcare facilities face with fraud and abuse issues. Your research should include the following aspects:
How to conduct an investigation. It should include the following elements:
Reviewing the initial complaint: What are the items you should look for in a compliant to determine validity?
Notifying the appropriate upper management of the complaint unless they are implicated in the complaint: What are the steps to take to determine who is involved?
Obtaining additional information as necessary and developing a plan for the investigation: What other items are important to the investigation?
Conducting interviews with staff, residents and/or management: Delineate the types of questions to ask in the interview.
Determining if the allegations are substantiated or unsubstantiated: Identify criteria to determine if substantiated or unsubstantiated.
How to develop a correction action plan. The plan may suggest:
A recommendation for a subsequent audit or follow-up to the complaint and determination of when this is necessary.
A recommendation to refund any overpayments to federal government, insurance company or individual payer and when that may be the best course of action.

1. Scenario 3
There’s a patient at the Pain management clinic for chronic pain. The patient arrived at the clinic for her treatment and overhead staff say, “she is only a drug seeker and is not really in pain”. The patient was upset and decided to write the clinic administrator about her experience and unacceptable behavior the clinic staff engaged in. These types of behavior can be legally, ethically and financially impactful which should never be tolerated.
These types of conversations can be detrimental to the patient and clinic and need to be addressed in a timely manner. Decision making by the administer needs to be established in this process.
· You must define the problem
· Generate solutions
· Propose the solutions in detail and operational
· Evaluate and implement
This model decision makers conceptualize a real situation to help strengthen the code of ethic obtains a tangible solution (Szymaniec-Micka, 2017).
As the administrator I would gather all the facts and have a private conversation with the staff members involved. I would provide a copy of code of ethics, mission and vision for our clinic. Health care managers and staff must demonstrate high ethical conduct that is in line with the core values (Walston, 2017). This type of behavior is unacceptable, not tolerated, and does not demonstrate appropriate ethical conduct. If this were the first time the staff member exhibited tis behavior it would be used as an opportunity to have a conversation and provide constructive feedback. If this type of behavior becomes a pattern, the assistance of human resources would be needed. As the leader this is an opportunity to start a conversation and implement education for the department. The conversation would be centered around the topics of inclusion, diversity, acceptable behaviors and value-based education. I would implement annual education sessions and signing the code of ethics policy as a reminder of accepted behaviors.
As the administrator, I would initially address the patient with an apology and explain that these conversations are not acceptable or tolerated. I would assure the patient that this behavior is not in line with our mission, vision or code of conduct. I would assur her the staff members would be addressed and that education for our clinic would be implement based on our core values to ensure these types of conversations do not happen again. Lastly, I will ask the patient if she has any other feedback regarding her experiences in the clinic and follow up appropriately.

Preparing for a Service Planning Conference or Disposition Planning Meeting
Introduction
After you have completed your assessment on each new client and done a tentative plan with the person, your agency might hold a meeting in which more specific plans are made for the individual’s care or services. In some agencies this is done informally. In small agencies, particularly, individual case managers may make those decisions by themselves, referring people to other services in systems that will have more formal case management.
In some places, children who come into the system are presented by their case manager to a “children’s panel” consisting of child psychologists, child psychiatrists, social workers, pediatricians, and others who serve children. Many other places use panels of professionals for creating plans for clients from different populations; in this situation, the case manager presents the case to representatives of any number of agencies serving or specializing in that population. Together the group decides what combination of services would best suit people in their current situation and gives a diagnosis, if appropriate.
If a person has both a substance abuse (SA) problem and a mental health problem and the agencies that address these two problems are not combined, representatives from each of the agencies working with the client should meet together to decide what should be done. In the past a client could be turned down for mental health services because he was drinking and turned down for SA services because he was suicidal. That kind of “turf” exclusion at the expense of the client is no longer tolerated by funding sources that expect people to be served.
In these meetings, decisions regarding the service an individual will receive are made with others who have experience and come, perhaps, from different disciplines. When the meeting is over, a formal plan will be drawn up.
What You Will Need to Bring to the Meeting
You should consider bringing three items to these planning meetings.
1. Tentative service plan:You have already developed a tentative service plan with the individual. Bring this tentative plan to the service planning conference.
2. Human service directory:As you work within the same social service system, you will come to know, without consulting a directory, which agencies are reliable and which services are used most often by your agency when referring people. As you begin your career, you need to know what human service organizations are available in your community. If there is a directory, bring that to the meeting so that you can work with your peers to find the best placement for your client. A good place to look is the local phone book, where social services are usually listed together. You might copy these pages and bring them to the meeting.
3. DSM Handbook:The DSM is a large volume containing considerable information. If you are working in an area that is likely to use the DSM to give diagnoses, you m.

Just those parts would be only about 3 to 4 pages double space of writing. The document titled treatment satisfaction final draft has all the work I have done so far. I have highlighted and sort of color-coordinated the sections of the paper that you will need to do.
Here are some specifics you need to know:
I had to pick 4 variable (3 independent 1 Dependent variables) which was pulled from the same Data which is called Cathy's data ( is attached to the homeworkmarket post )
My picks were:
· Treatment Satisfaction (TS)
· Desire for Help(DH)
· Treatment Readiness(TR)
· Treatment participation(TP)
Each indicator had there own data sets which were:
TS

The example paper is exactly how the paper needs to read so really you would need to just copy and paste most of it and plug in my variables and maybe change some words around so that it will fit my data set.
when it comes to interpreting the data for the finding section my professor has a specific way which she wants it to be written. I will give you some homework examples that we have done to give you an idea for the univariate and bivariate analysis but for the Mutlvariates you have to go off the final paper example because i do not have HW examples for them.
Data Management:
For the Data management just simply give a detailed summary of what methods/steps i used. Use Appendix A for your reference. To make it easy for you i made a table of contents
page 6: Ran Frequencies
Page 23: Computations
page 30: Factor Analysis
Page 44: Reliability Analysis
Page 53: Computation
Try to word it like it is for the example paper
Data Analysis:
For Data Analysis use Appendix B info I highlighted or colored the different tables so you could easily find them.
Lastly, I have attached Cathy's Data set for you in case you wanted to go in replicate my steps so you could get a better understanding of the data

Introduction
· Advertising as a tool for representing company’s personality;
· Legal regulations of advertising then and now (a brief history of governmental regulations of advertising);
· If there is a strict set of regulations and laws why advertising scandals even occur? (ambiguity)
The main topic of the paper is to showcase the role of language in advertising and describe the potential legal consequences that may occur when using language incorrectly.
Arguments (paragraphs):
1. Consumers often confuse legality with ethics; not all ethical issues can be regulated legally
· Discuss the concepts of puffery, reasonable consumer, misleading advertising deceptive advertising;
· Commercial exaggeration is legal and it is not possible to legislate against emotional appeals;
· Consumers sometimes take company’s tagline or claim too literally;
2. Governmental and industry self-regulative laws are very complex and can be misinterpreted by the company
· Discuss FTC and advertising standards;
· Failure to define correctly product’s or service’s category sometimes lead to legal issues;
· A high lack of clarity for digital advertising since many laws were written prior to the spread of computers and Internet;
3. A very minor number of marketers and advertisers resort to violation of industry self-regulations and use of unethical tactics.
· Tough competition puts pressure on companies and forces them to create eccentric campaigns to break through the clutter;
· Industry is actively fighting the advertising fraud;
For the following court cases examples it is needed to refer to the actual court documents in addition to the articles:
Discuss the following court cases and incorporate in the context of the essay.

Healthcare Reimbursement
I need help on the following assignment: Create a white paper. I have coompleted the first part and can provide it to you for help on the second part of the paper.
Much of what happens in healthcare is about understanding the expectations of the many departments and personnel within the organization. Reimbursement drives the financial operations of healthcare organizations; each department affects the reimbursement process regarding timelines and the amount of money put into and taken out of the system. However, if departments do not follow the guidelines put into place or do not capture the necessary information, it can be detrimental to the reimbursement system.
An important role for patient financial services (PFS) personnel is to monitor the reimbursement process, analyze the reimbursement process, and suggest changes to help maximize the reimbursement. One way to make this process more efficient is by ensuring that the various departments and personnel are exposed to the necessary knowledge.
For your final project, you will assume the role of a supervisor within a PFS department and develop a white paper in which the necessary healthcare reimbursement knowledge is outlined.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules One, Three, and Five.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
†
Analyze the impacts of various healthcare departments and their interrelationships on the revenue cycle
†
Compare third-party payer policies through analysis of reimbursement guidelines for achieving timely and maximum reimbursements
†
Analyze organizational strategies for negotiating healthcare contracts with managed care organizations
†
Critique legal and ethical standards and policies in healthcare coding and billing for ensuring compliance with rules and regulations
†
Evaluate the use of reimbursement data for its purpose in case and utilization management and healthcare quality improvement as well as its impact on
pay for performance incentives
Prompt
You are now a supervisor within the patient financial services (PFS) department of a healthcare system. It has been assigned to you to write a white paper to educate other department managers about reimbursement. This includes how each specific department impacts reimbursement for services, which in turn impacts the healthcare organization as a whole. The healthcare system may include hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and more. For now, your boss has asked you to develop a draft of this paper for the hospital personnel only; in the future, there may be the potential to expand this for other facilities.

Top of Form
Bottom of Form
Write a letter to an official in your state or local government. (Choose the individual in the level of government that will best address your issue). The purpose of this letter is to advocate for action with regards to your chosen health care environment issue.
Introduction
Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.
As health care leaders, it is important to understand strategies for advocating and lobbying elected officials. This can lead to the development of policies or laws that can help drive improved equity and outcomes for all participants in the health care environment as well as a more sustainable financial future.
Background and Context
As a master's-level health care practitioner, you may be expected to implement plans to ensure that initiatives designed to take advantage of economic opportunities for the organization are rolled out successfully and can be sustained over multiple years. Additionally, it is important to be able to envision how an initiative could be implemented in different contexts and for different purposes to ensure the investment remains a viable and positive asset to your organization or care setting.
As a master's-level practitioner, you will often be challenged to influence the health care environment in a variety of ways. This influence can occur on a micro-level (implementing change on your unit, institution, community, or local organizations) or at a macro level (implementing change via state or federal regulations and policy). One way you can influence the health care environment is by lobbying an elected official at the local, state, or national level to adopt policies or legislation that would support positive economic and health outcomes for patients, practitioners, and organizations within the health care environment.
Instructions
For this assessment, you will develop a letter to an official in your state or local government (choose the individual in the level of government that will best address your issue). The purpose of this letter is to advocate for action with regards to your chosen health care environment issue. Remember, when writing the letter, you must use your personal address and telephone number unless you are exclusively representing a group or your organization.
Be sure to address each main point. Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide, including performance-level descriptions for each criterion, to ensure you understand the work you will be asked to complete and how it will be assessed. In addition, note the requirements for document format and length and for supporting evidence.
Overall, your assessment submission will be assessed on the following criteria:

Name:

Healthcare Facility Proposal
The provision of outpatient healthcare services in the United States is quickly growing as more investments into this sector come in. There is a great shift in healthcare services from inpatient to outpatient medical services. Among the outpatient healthcare services is the establishment of an outpatient pharmacy. I propose that a pharmacy should be established in the state of Florida, where I come from. The pharmacy should be big enough to possible serve the most people possible. The pharmacy would be open for service to the general public under the directions of the state’s hospital.
A pharmacy would be the best idea for one to put up in my state. The pharmacies are not just outlets for collection of drugs, as some may be made to believe. There is much more in store for the patient when he/she decides to get the services from a pharmacy. Pharmacies offer medicinal and health information and advice to the patients, given that the pharmacists are well trained in the medical and anatomical fields and they understand much on the expected effects of drugs on the body. Pharmacists also offer quick solutions to common weather-related infections such as common cold and influenza, thereby reducing congestion in hospitals. Expectant women and newborn babies and their mothers often require specialized attention in terms of medication and diet. The pharmacists are also well trained to handle such cases and give them the relevant medicinal and nutritional advice that they may need in their pursuit for health.
It is common nowadays for people to suffer from psychological disorders and other emotional distresses. Such patients can also get their services at the pharmacies. These disorders are just as dangerous and as prevalent as other physical diseases and disorders, and are sometimes caused by the effects of chemical imbalances in the body. The pharmacist is well trained to understand the possible imbalances that are likely to induce such mental disorders in the patients, and they therefore give forth the best medication and advice to the patients on how to overcome the disorders. The pharmacists are also well trained to offer therapy sessions to the patients, or they could have the psychiatrists and other experts in those fields at the pharmacies for these therapy sessions (Harding & Taylor, 2016). This helps to rationalize therapy sessions and reduce the costs related to therapy sessions.
Other services delivered at the pharmacies include immunizations to the new-born babies and the little children. This helps reduce the susceptibility of these children to common diseases that attack the infants’ immune system and could bring forth life-threatening diseases to them. Pha ...

Becker’s Hospital Review has an excellent list of things to know about the hospital industry. Once you have determined the hospital, you will need to think about the way a patient visit works at the hospital you chose so you can review the processes and departments involved. There are several ways to accomplish this. Choose one of the following:
If you have been a patient in a hospital or if you know someone who has, you can use that experience as the basis for your responses. Conduct research through articles or get information from professional organizations.
Below is an example of how to begin framing your analysis.
A patient comes in through the emergency department. In this case, the patient would be triaged and seen in the emergency department. Think about what happens in an emergency area. The patient could be asked to change into a hospital gown (think about the costs of the gown and other supplies provided). If the patient is displaying signs of vomiting, plastic bags will be provided and possibly antinausea medication. Lab work and possibly x-rays would be done. The patient could be sent to surgery, sent home, or admitted as an inpatient. If he or she is admitted as an inpatient, meals will be provided and more tests will be ordered by the physician—again, more costs and charges for the patient bill.

Preparing for a Service Planning Conference or Disposition Planning Meeting
Introduction
After you have completed your assessment on each new client and done a tentative plan with the person, your agency might hold a meeting in which more specific plans are made for the individual’s care or services. In some agencies this is done informally. In small agencies, particularly, individual case managers may make those decisions by themselves, referring people to other services in systems that will have more formal case management.
In some places, children who come into the system are presented by their case manager to a “children’s panel” consisting of child psychologists, child psychiatrists, social workers, pediatricians, and others who serve children. Many other places use panels of professionals for creating plans for clients from different populations; in this situation, the case manager presents the case to representatives of any number of agencies serving or specializing in that population. Together the group decides what combination of services would best suit people in their current situation and gives a diagnosis, if appropriate.
If a person has both a substance abuse (SA) problem and a mental health problem and the agencies that address these two problems are not combined, representatives from each of the agencies working with the client should meet together to decide what should be done. In the past a client could be turned down for mental health services because he was drinking and turned down for SA services because he was suicidal. That kind of “turf” exclusion at the expense of the client is no longer tolerated by funding sources that expect people to be served.
In these meetings, decisions regarding the service an individual will receive are made with others who have experience and come, perhaps, from different disciplines. When the meeting is over, a formal plan will be drawn up.
What You Will Need to Bring to the Meeting
You should consider bringing three items to these planning meetings.
1. Tentative service plan:You have already developed a tentative service plan with the individual. Bring this tentative plan to the service planning conference.
2. Human service directory:As you work within the same social service system, you will come to know, without consulting a directory, which agencies are reliable and which services are used most often by your agency when referring people. As you begin your career, you need to know what human service organizations are available in your community. If there is a directory, bring that to the meeting so that you can work with your peers to find the best placement for your client. A good place to look is the local phone book, where social services are usually listed together. You might copy these pages and bring them to the meeting.

I had to pick 4 variable (3 independent 1 Dependent variables) which was pulled from the same Data which is called Cathy's data ( is attached to the homeworkmarket post )
My picks were:
· Treatment Satisfaction (TS)
· Desire for Help(DH)
· Treatment Readiness(TR)
· Treatment participation(TP)
Each indicator had there own data sets which were:
TS
Cest 007 Time schedule is convenient
Cest 0011 Program expects responsibility/self
Cest 020 Program organized /run well
Cest 030 Satisfied with program
Cest 080 Staff efficient with Job
Cest 115 Personal Counseling
Cest 112 Location is convenient
DH
Cest 003
Cest 032
Cest 039
Cest 065
Cest 86
Cest 116
TR
Cest006 TR Need to stay in treatment
Cest 013 TR Solve Problems in treatment
Cest 014 TR Treatment is not helping ( this one had to be removed because it failed reliability test)
Cest 054 TR Treatment gives you hope
Cest 056 TR Want to be in drug treatment
TP
Cest 019
Cest 026
Cest 031
Cest 035
Cest 037
Cest 066
Cest 067
Cest 077
Cest 083
Cest 104
Cest 127
The example paper is exactly how the paper needs to read so really you would need to just copy and paste most of it and plug in my variables and maybe change some words around so that it will fit my data set.
when it comes to interpreting the data for the finding section my professor has a specific way which she wants it to be written. I will give you some homework examples that we have done to give you an idea for the univariate and bivariate analysis but for the Mutlvariates you have to go off the final paper example because i do not have HW examples for them.
Data Management:
For the Data management just simply give a detailed summary of what methods/steps i used. Use Appendix A for your reference. To make it easy for you i made a table of contents
page 6: Ran Frequencies
Page 23: Computations
page 30: Factor Analysis
Page 44: Reliability Analysis
Page 53: Computation
Try to word it like it is for the example paper
Data Analysis:
For Data Analysis use Appendix B info I highlighted or colored the different tables so you could easily find them.
Lastly, I have attached Cathy's Data set for you in case you wanted to go in replicate my steps so you could get a better understanding of the data

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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