reply to this discussion post…Be sure that the responses to the  Post of peers include 2 peer reviewed references with content that demonstrates critical analysis and synthesis of references used. 

The clinical issues of interests that will be used to develop one’s PICOT question correlates with the overuse of antibiotics being prescribed and antibiotic stewardship. The formation of the PICOT question includes the population of interests, the issue of interest or intervention, the comparison of interests, the expected outcome, and the time the intervention to achieve (Melnyk & Overholt, 2015). Therefore, the population will be elderly patients residing in long-term care facilities who overuse antibiotics which causes secondary issues and the outcome being the implementation of antibiotic stewardship programs within the timeframe of one month, is an example of a possible PICOT question relating to the topic of interest. 

            The search results from the Walden University library vary when adding words when using the Boolean operators. Examples of some of the databases utilized include CINAHL, MEDLINE, ProQuest, and PubMed. When using CINAHL with full text, the first phrase searched was antibiotic stewardship and overuse of antibiotics. This yielded 35 results correlating with antibiotic stewardship and the over prescribing of antibiotics. The search was further narrowed down by changing the date range to the past five years and checking the box for peer reviewed journal articles, which narrowed down the search yield to 28 results. To narrow down the search to include the specific age population one had in mind, the Boolean phrase of nursing homes or long-term care facilities was included, which yielded 3 results and helps to choose articles specifically related to one’s topic. One of the articles found from this search included a study discussing the high rates of inappropriate antibiotic prescribing for presumed urinary tract infections in nursing home patients with the examination of the pathway for prescribing antibiotics and strategies such as antibiotic stewardship as interventions for improvement (Kistler, et al., 2017). Additionally, the other two articles listed discussed strategies to decrease antibiotic overuse in nursing homes and the impact overuse of antibiotics on suspected urinary tract infections in nursing homes have, which further correlates with the topic of choice. 

Strategies to increase the effectiveness of a database during the search related to the overuse of antibiotics being prescribed and antibiotic stewardship programs would be to narrow down the search by further eliminating unwanted factors. An example of this is checking the box for peer-reviewed scholarly journals and full text only. Another strategy is to narrow down the search date so newer information can be accessed and found. Other factors can be included in the search if one is looking for specific studies such as randomized control trials. Utilizing the database to its full potential helps promote the effectiveness on the information that is being searched related to the topic of choice.

Existentialism is a humanism

 

  • Jean-Paul Sartre, ‘Existentialism is a Humanism’ (1946)1. First, I would like you to think about the central principle of Existentialism. What does Sartre mean when he writes that, “existence precedes essence?” (p.3.).(Answer the question in your own words. Also find examples in the text).2. Also, shortly afterwards, Sartre writes, “If, however, it is true that existence is prior to essence, man is responsible for what he is.” What does Sartre mean by this? (p.3-4.)(Again, answer in your own words, and find examples in the text).3. When Sartre writes, “Our responsibility is thus much greater than we had supposed, for it concerns mankind as a whole” (4).What does Sartre mean?(Again, find examples in the text).4. For Sartre, why is “anguish” a “condition of action itself?”  (p.4-5.). And what does he mean when he writes that, “…action presupposes that there is a plurality of possibilities, and in choosing one of these…it has value only because it is chosen” (4-5).(Answer the question in your own words, and find examples in the text to support your points).5. What does Sartre mean when he states that “man is condemned to be free?”(5).(Find examples in the text, and answer in your own words).6. Why does Sartre use the example of the student who lives with his mother during the war, and who has approached Sartre for advice? How does this example help to prove Sartre’s arguments about ethics, values, and choice? What does Sartre want to say through this example? (5-6).(Answer the question in your own words, and use examples).7. What does Sartre mean when he states that::“”Man is nothing else but what he purposes, he exists only in so far as he realizes himself, he is therefore nothing else but the sum of his actions, nothing else but what his life is.” (7).?(Answer the question in your own words, and find examples in the text).8. As an ethical philosophy that according to Sartre, is misunderstood for its pessimism, how does existentialism, in fact, provide an “optimistic” view of life? (8).(Find examples in the text).9. What is the connection between existentialism and “humanity” (“humanism”)? (9-10).(Answer the question in your own words, and find examples in the text).10. Finally, do you find Sartre’s views about existentialism convincing?And as an ethical theory, how might Sartre’s reading change the way that you view and live your own life today?Do you agree or disagree with the central arguments of existentialism?

IT sourcing

For this unit’s discussion board, let’s build on the IT project failures you researched from the previous unit. Each of you discussed a failure, what went wrong, and what could have been done differently. 

Now, apply what you’ve read in this chapter about sourcing and sourcing decisions. What type of sourcing decision might have improved the chances of the failed project succeeding and why? 

Below is the IT failure it should be based off. 

DeLorean DMC-12 car was an IT project that endured a challenging inauguration and course.  It was developed by John DeLorean, who planned to build a decent, sustainable, durable, and safe car. Some reasons contributed to the failure of this IT project. One reason is that the developers had contradicting and complex ideas. The other reason is that the break dimensions were incomplete because of the complex shape, or the gullwing bars were too bulky. The motor ventilation did not constantly well, causing blistering (Brownlow., 2016). The other problem was that it was massive, indicating that the engine was not an achievement vehicle. The vehicle was also expensive, but the performance was low, making individuals not favor the engine. In other words, the production rate of the car was high, and the demand decreased, creating insolvency.

 To avoid an IT collapse like DeLorean DMC-12 failure, developers should follow the following strategies. First, they should note and comprehend the causes of breakdown. For an individual to evade losing, they first need to know what most frequently influences project collapse. Some current analyses include the shortage of information, faulty preparation or risk control, or a lack of training. Earning an IT project to victorious fulfillment is hard work and demands someone reliable and who can adhere to the end. Again, developers should encourage and develop their strengths and efficiency (Brownlow., 2016). Strong superintendence is a celebrated requirement for successful IT project administration. If the administrator is not relevant for the responsibility, it remains incompetent from the go. A component of that is in understanding the vulnerabilities of participants. An additional factor is apprehending the depths and how to bring them to achieve a project prosperously and efficiently. Hence, being a project handler is good to train, catch the urge, and confidence to succeed. Finally, they should also seek support from other experts to secure fruitful completion of projects.

Critical Analysis Portfolio and Presentation Proposal

 For the first part of your final project, the critical analysis  portfolio, you will select an issue or event in diversity and critically  analyze it through the
four general education lenses: history,  humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences. By  viewing the issue/event through these lenses, you will
gain insight  into how the intersectional nature of diversity affects society, as well  as both your own individual framework of perception and the choices,  attitudes,
and behaviors of others in the world around you.
Prompt:  First, review the module resources you have so far encountered, as well  as your work in Module One. In addition, it is suggested that you visit  the IDS
400 LibGuide for guidance on how to select a topic. Select  one issue/event in diversity and write a paper that addresses how this  issue/event fits into the
framework of diversity, and then addresses  how each lens influences perceptions and attitudes toward the  issue/event, diversity, and society. The paper should
outline each  lens’s impact and framing of the issue/event. Be sure to provide a  working thesis statement and clear definitions for your key terms.
Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below.
I.  Introduction: You will compile a series of critical analyses of a  single issue/event in diversity through the four general education  lenses: history,
humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences.
A. Topic: Using the four lenses, explain how an issue/event within diversity has or has not influenced modern society.
II.  Lens Connections: In this section of your assignment, you will describe  the connections between your issue/event and each of the four general  education
lenses.
A. What is the connection of your issue/event to  the lens of history for determining its impact on various institutions?  Utilize evidence from theory
and research to support your analysis.
B.  What is the connection of your issue/event to the lens of the  humanities for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize  evidence from
theory and research to support your analysis.
C.  What is the connection of your issue/event to the lens of the natural  sciences for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize  evidence
from theory and research to support your analysis.
D.  What is the connection of your issue/event to the lens of the social  sciences for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize  evidence
from theory and research to support your analysis.Be sure to  begin the research process early and use evidence from your research to  support your responses. Refer to course resources, the LibGuide for
this  class, and any other pertinent resources to support your responses.  Although at least two sources are required for each lens, note that you  may use
the same source for more than one lens if applicable.  Relevant current news sources may be used with instructor approval.  Incorporate instructor
feedback into your final project..
