Have you ever gone online to search for a journal article on a specific topic? It is amazing to see the large number of journals that are available in the health care field. When you view the library in its entirety, you are viewing untapped data. Until you actually research for your particular topic, there is little structure. Once you have narrowed it down, you have information and once you apply the information, you have knowledge. Eventually, after thoughtful research and diligent practice, you reach the level of wisdom—knowledge applied in meaningful ways.

Are there areas in your practice that you believe should be more fully explored? The central aims of nursing informatics are to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. This continuum represents the overarching structure of nursing informatics. In this Assignment, you develop a research question relevant to your practice area and relate how you would work through the progression from data to information, knowledge, and wisdom.

To prepare:

• Review the information in Figure 6-2 in Nursing Informatics and the Foundation of Knowledge.
• Develop a clinical question related to your area of practice that you would like to explore.
• Consider what you currently know about this topic. What additional information would you need to answer the question?
• Using the continuum of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom, determine how you would go about researching your question.

o   Explore the available databases in the Walden Library. Identify which of these databases you would use to find the information or data you need.

o   Once you have identified useful databases, how would you go about finding the most relevant articles and information?

o   Consider how you would extract the relevant information from the articles.

o   How would you take the information and organize it in a way that was useful? How could you take the step from simply having useful knowledge to gaining wisdom?

Often, you may get the best results using a multistep process that provides adequate time to think, write, research, and rewrite. For this assignment, you will review the article by Peter Singer titled “America’s Shame,” which you will also use in M5: Assignment 1.

 

 

Using the, review article by Peter Singer.

United States vs. Cambodia

 

Conduct research using the Argosy online library, your text book and the Internet regarding the differences in culture, management styles, and communication strategies between the U.S. and Cambodia.  Analyze at least three potential management conflicts that may arise due to the identified differences and propose solutions for each to help combat these conflicts. Use at least one chart or graph in your PowerPoint presentation.

 

submit a PowerPoint presentation (approximately 10 slides) containing both your assessment of the differences, as well as the potential conflicts, All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources. Please be sure to cite, in proper APA format, the information sources you used both within the body of your presentation and on a reference slide at the end of your presentation.

 

Also, you may use PowerPoint’s notes feature to further articulate your reasoning for the selection of the identified conflicts.

Larry Landlord has recently renovated an apartment and has put it on the market to be rented for $800.00 a month. Larry Landlord has been in business for approximately five (5) years and has had both positive and negative experiences with tenants. Larry Landlord is hoping to find a good, long-term tenant for his apartment. Roger Renter saw Larry’s sign for the apartment for rent and thought the location and the apartment would be perfect. Roger met Larry to look at the apartment and Roger fell in love with it. All of the interior fixtures had been replaced and the unit had a nice large closet. Roger noticed that although newly painted, the exterior of the apartment did show a little bit of wear. Because of the condition of the exterior of the building, Roger asked Larry about any roof leaks. Larry stated that he had never had a leak and was not aware of any leaks.

Roger and Larry entered into a valid contract for the rental of the apartment. (Note: The issue of whether or not a contract exists is NOT part of this question. For purposes of this question assume the contract is valid and there are no issues with the contract.)

Roger Renter was very happy in his new location; the apartment was quiet and the neighbors were friendly. Larry Landlord was also very happy because Roger Renter was a model tenant. Roger Renter paid on time and was quiet and respectful to other tenants.

The part of the country where Roger rented was rainy in the summertime. Roger rented and moved into the apartment in October. In June, a tremendous rainstorm occurred and Roger’s roof began to leak. The leak was minor at first and Roger merely put a trash can under the leak and had no other issues that month. When handing over his monthly rent check, Roger told Larry about the small leak. Larry thanked Roger for letting him know about the leak and told Roger he would have it fixed.

The next month the rains came again and the leak grew larger in Roger’s apartment. Roger was not home at the time of the rain and therefore the leak damaged some of Roger’s furniture. Roger called Larry to let him know that there was a leak and asked when it might be fixed. Roger also stated that he thought Larry had fixed the roof. Larry curtly stated, “When it rains, sometimes it pours. When it pours, sometimes it leaks.” Roger did not like Larry’s tone or response and called back to ask when the roof might be fixed. Larry stated, “When I get to it.” The following day, Roger sent Larry a note about the roof leak and asked Larry to please address the issue.

The week before the rent was due, another rainstorm occurred and the leak was even larger. This time the leak damaged Roger’s clothing, furniture, and some precious items he had inherited from family members. Roger called Larry and asked Larry to fix roof immediately. Larry responded in a similar and condescending manner. Roger hung up the phone and threw his baseball bat against the wall, damaging the drywall and knocking out an electrical socket.

Since it was the rainy season, Roger knew it would rain again and therefore simply moved his items away from the leak and did nothing to help mitigate the damage from the leaking roof.

Larry came into the apartment to investigate the leak and found damage from not only the leak but also from the thrown baseball bat. Roger states that the baseball bat damage was a direct result of Larry’s inability to fix the leak based on his anger from Larry’s curt response.

Question2.

 Berry Mount manufactures a variety of Pie. The company is considering introducing a new product (Pizza Pie). The company’s manager has been provided with the following information by their business analyst.

 

• The project has an anticipated economic life of 5 years.

 

• The Company plans to spend $1,250,000 on advertising campaign to boost sales.

 

• The Company’s interest expense each year will be $550,000.

• In addition the Company expects with introduction of new product, sale of other Pie increase by $550,000 after taxes each year.

 

• The Company’s overall WACC is 8 percent. However, the proposed project is riskier than the average project; the new project’s WACC is estimated to be 10 percent.

 

• The Company’s tax rate is 30 percent.

 

 

• Find the net present value, internal rate of return, payback period, discounted payback period, and profitability index of the proposed project. Based on your analysis should the project be accepted? Discuss.

As I explained in class, your final paper will be about virtual PR of two local companies in the UAE.

1- Select two UAE-based  government or private companies. They should be comparable/competitive in providing services or producing commodities (e.g. Dubai Municipality/Sharjah Municipality; Flydubai/Airarabia; Al-Futtaim/Al-Habtour; Al-Ain/Masafi);

2- Each organization/company should be well-known and have many employees and consumers.

3- Examine each organization/company’s website and analyze its content highlighting its strength and weakness.

4- Your critical appraisal should focus on:

A-  Media relations, particularly their presence and major activities on social media;

B-  Consumer relations; and

C-  Community relations.

5- Compare and contrast the two companies’ online PR presence and activities, and state your opinion regarding their effectiveness.

 

 6- Your paper should not be less than 9 pages long (including a printout of the homepages of the two companies);  and should be well-thought and well-written.

I want to compare between two airline companies of the UAE which are etihad and emirates airlines. Everything needs to be from a PR perspective.

It says the professor wants 9 pages including the homepages of the websites of both airlines in addition to the cover page. I just need you to write 6 pages including the references page.

Think about what you have read and seen in the news on globalization. Consider the fact that the clothing we wear, the cars that we drive, the cell phones we use to communicate and the computers we use to work, are each likely to have been manufactured in whole or in part in different parts of the world. While there are still companies and firms that maintain local and national borders, it is almost unheard of in the 21st century that an industry does not maintain an international strategic position.

From an executive’s position, identify and explain at least three challenges and opportunities that might face an international executive over the next five years. Provide possible solutions of how the executive might address these issues in order for their firm to maintain a competitive advantage.

Prepare a 4 page paper that describes the impact of globalization on U.S. businesses. In your analysis, please include information about the impact of at least four economic drivers that might impact globalization.

Conduct some research online on “scientific racism” and 19th century racial theories. Explain how such theories supported European supremacy and colonialism. You can choose one particular theory/theorist.

INSTRUCTIONS: The final examination is comprised of a series of 5 short answer questions. You are to only complete three questions of your choice. To gain maximum marks, please answer all parts of each of the three questions you have chosen. Each short answer is worth 33 1/3 points. Each response must be type-written in Time New Roman, font size 12 with 1.5 spacing. The topic areas that the short answers will come from are: Social Stratification, Inequality & Poverty; Race & Ethnicity; Gender & Sexuality; Family; Religion. All questions must have an introduction, a body and a conclusion. The introductions must present a background to the topics under study.

 

Each new question response must begin on a new page. The front page of the final paper must only include your name, ID number, course code & name, the name of the professor and the date the exam is to be turned in. The pages of the final exam must also be numbered accordingly. You do not need a reference page for the final paper and you do not have to use any type of in-text citation. Staple all the pages before handing in the final paper.

 

Final responses are to be handed to me as hard-copies in class on the day of the final scheduled exam. Except in extenuating circumstances outlined under university regulations, I will not accept any papers a second past the end of the final exam time! Also, under no conditions will I accept soft copies, or soft copies of late papers. You are given the opportunity to complete an examination in a few days when you would have normally only been granted 2 hours to do so. It is up to you to ensure that you complete the responses before the exam time elapses so that if there are any technical issues, or other issues that may arise, they can be remedied by you in time.

 

Using the question prompts below as your heading, please begin each question on a new page.

 

1. As the saying goes, some people have more than others. However, we now see that some people have way more than others! (a) What are the definitions of social stratification and poverty?

(b) What is meant by the social construction of gender and how is gender socialization linked to the construction of gender? (c) Finally, how do sociologists explain inequality in sex and relationships?

 

4. A “one size fits all” model cannot describe the many shapes that today’s families take nor the quality of the interactions among their members. (a) Describe the term “family” to someone who has never heard the term before. (b) How do race, ethnicity and gender intersect with class to create inequality among families?

 

5. A key religious pattern among today’s youth is described as “A god exists who created and ordered the world and watches over hum life” (Smith et al. 2009). (a) How is religion defined? (b) Why do sociologists regard religion as fluid and variable? (c) Why is it difficult to distinguish religious conflict from ethnic or class conflict?
