Respond to the following question:

Describe the basic types of epidemiologic study designs that are used to test hypotheses, identify associations and establish causation.

Determine the range of values of the probability that SAEL will exercise its option, making the decision found in part c as optimal, and determine the expected value of perfect information about whether SAEL will exercise its option.Explain.

BUYU Manufacturing has been contracted to provide SAEL Electronics with printed circuit and motherboards (PC) boards under the following terms:

  • 100,000 PC boards will be delivered to SAEL in one month.
  • In 3 months, SAEL has an option to take the delivery of an additional 100,000 boards by giving BUYU a 30-day notice.
  • SAEL will pay $5 for each board it takes.
BUYU manufactures the PC boards through a process called batching, and manufacturing costs are as follows:
  • The manufacturing batch run has a fixed setup cost of $250,000, regardless of the run size.
  • The marginal manufacturing cost is $2.00 per board, regardless of the size of the batch run.

BUYU must decide whether it should manufacture all 200,000 PC boards now, or if it should manufacture 100,000 now and the other 100,000 boards only if SAEL decides to buy them. If BUYU manufactures 200,000 now and SAEL does not exercise its option, then BUYU will lose the manufacturing cost of the extra 100,000 boards. BUYU believes that there is a 50% chance that SAEL will exercise its option to buy the additional 100,000 PC boards.

  1. Discuss the potential profit of manufacturing all 200,000 boards now.
  2. Draw a decision tree for the decision that BUYU faces.
  3. If BUYU uses its expected profit as the basis for its decision, determine the preferred course of action.
  4. Determine the range of values of the probability that SAEL will exercise its option, making the decision found in part c as optimal, and determine the expected value of perfect information about whether SAEL will exercise its option.
  5. Assume now that BUYU is constantly risk averse with a risk tolerance of $100,000, and answer parts 3 and 4 again.

• Differentiate between supply chain management and a supply chain.

 

• Analyze the supply chain management process frameworks (SCOR and GSCF).

 

• Identify how the logistics function contributes to the supply chain management process established in the SCOR and GSFC models.

 

• Investigate an enterprise resource planning system (ERP) and identify how the functionality of an ERP system can help optimize Plan, Source, Make, Deliver and Return.

 

Describe the added expectations for BSN-prepared nurses in terms of implementing evidence based practice;

 

Evidence-based Nursing Practice

 

For this Application, identify a clinical practice guideline developed by governmental source or professional association and write a 5 page paper. For example, you may select a problem from the National Guideline Clearinghouse as long as it is under nursing control. For instance, reducing the risk of infection is under nursing control, while the type of surgery performed for a patient problem is not under the control of nursing.

 

Below is a list of topics; however, you may select ONE problem that is of interest to you.

  • Pain management (SD)
    • Acute
    • Chronic
  • Pressure ulcers
  • Wrong side surgery
  • Fall risk assessment
  • Restraint use
  • Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

 

 

 

Write a 5-page paper in which you:

  • Write an introduction and purpose statement;
  • Identify a practice setting problem;
  • Describe the importance of the clinical problem and why it is significant to nursing practice;
  • Describe the added expectations for BSN-prepared nurses in terms of implementing evidence based practice;
  • Describe the clinical practice guideline developed by governmental source or professional association;
  • Describe the impact on patient and/or a community;
  • State the costs of this problem to the health care system;
  • Describe evidence based practice changes in nursing care that have occurred due to research.
    • An example: National Guidelines Clearinghouse guidelines

Describe the role of databases and database management systems in managing organizational data and information.

Suppose a local college has tasked you to develop a database that will keep track of students and the courses that they have taken. In addition to tracking the students and courses, the client wants the database to keep track of the instructors teaching each of the courses.

Use the internet to research the types of information that a college would want to track in a database. Focus your attention on information that could represent entities within a database as well as attributes of such entities.

Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:

  1. Describe the purpose of the database.
  2. Based on your research and / or common knowledge of a college and the information tracked by a college, describe the entities of the database and the attributes of each entity.
  3. Based on your research and / or common knowledge of a college and the information tracked by a college, describe the business rules that could impact the structure of the database.
  4. Determine the information that the conceptual model of the database would include and determine the information that the physical model of the database would include.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Describe the role of databases and database management systems in managing organizational data and information.
  • Compose conceptual data modeling techniques to capture the information requirements.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in database systems.
  • Write clearly and concisely about relational database management systems using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

Discuss case law that established the legality of individual traffic stops and traffic check points (such as a DUI checkpoint).

It is well established that driving a vehicle on public roadways is a privilege, not a right. That privilege can be granted or taken away by the state for a variety of reasons and each year police conduct hundreds of thousands traffic stops of one kind or another to enforce laws passed by cities or states.

In a 2 to 3 page APA formatted paper discuss the key elements that establish a traffic stop as legally defensible and professional.

Additonally, research, cite, and discuss case law that established the legality of individual traffic stops and traffic check points (such as a DUI checkpoint).
