BON

/in /by

Boards of Nursing (BONs) exist in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands. Similar entities may also exist for different regions. The mission of BONs is the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice. BONs put into practice state/region regulations for nurses that, among other things, lay out the requirements for licensure and define the scope of nursing practice in that state/region.

It can be a valuable exercise to compare regulations among various state/regional boards of nursing. Doing so can help share insights that could be useful should there be future changes in a state/region. In addition, nurses may find the need to be licensed in multiple states or regions.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and reflect on the mission of state/regional boards of nursing as the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice.
  • Consider how key regulations may impact nursing practice.
  • Review key regulations for nursing practice of your state’s/region’s board of nursing and those of at least one other state/region and select at least two APRN regulations to focus on for this Discussion..

By Day 3 of Week 5

Post a comparison of at least two APRN board of nursing regulations in your state/region with those of at least one other state/region. Describe how they may differ. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how the regulations you selected may apply to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) who have legal authority to practice within the full scope of their education and experience. Provide at least one example of how APRNs may adhere to the two regulations you selected.

Module 7 Discussion- “Relax, It’s A Joke” Rape Culture Analysis ONLY PART 2

/in /by

Activity Instructions:

“Rape jokes are not jokes. Woman-hating jokes are not jokes. These guys are telling you what they think. When you laugh along to get their approval, you are giving them yours”- Thomas Miller, “Meet the Predators” 

Part One ALREADY DONE

One of our society’s most interesting cultural artifacts can be found in what we collectively define as “funny”. Although frequently downplayed as “just a joke”, the images, words, and messages we share reveal a great deal about social attitudes and play a tremendous role in what society deems normal and acceptable. The materials from this week in particular highlight the ways that the social construction of humor can construct and reinforce sexual scripts and rape culture.For this activity, you will describe and discuss a “joke” that introduces or reinforces social sexual scripts and/or rape culture (see the reading by Katharine Ryan for more detailed understanding of these terms). This can be something you have seen in a movie or TV show, a meme or image you have seen on Instagram, a tiktok video, or even a joke told amongst people you know. If it is available online, please share a link or copy of the image.Your discussion should include analysis of the following by drawing connections to the videos and readings from this week:

  • Explain what the “joke” is saying (or not saying). Think about word choice, punctuation, visual imagery, audience assumptions etc. and discuss what you believe to be its role in contributing to sexual scripts and/or rape culture.
  • Most cultural material has an intended audience (the group it was made for, for example picture books made for children) and an unintended audience (people outside that group who are still experience it, for example the parents who read the books to their children). Who is the intended audience for this joke? How do you know? Who is the unintended audience? What different effects might this meme have for those different audiences? 
  • Where did you see/hear/find this meme/joke? What does this tell you about the intended audience and the expected reaction and message of those who created and/or shared it?
  • What gender assumptions are embedded in the joke? In other words, what gender norms are being represented (or violated)? If the joke also concerns assumptions regarding race, class, sexual orientation, etc., discuss these assumptions as well.
  • What messages does this joke send about masculinity and femininity? How are the messages related to social sexual scripts? In other words, what messages does the joke send about sex, gender, and what members of each gender are supposed to desire and how they are expected to behave?

REQUIRED MATERIAL

https://www.unwomen.org/en/news/stories/2019/11/compilation-ways-you-can-stand-against-rape-culturehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SupUmg566jshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHGvxXEupLchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-7dxfdlF8c

ONLY NEED PART 2

PART 2 IS TO REPLY TO CLASSMATES RESPONSE

Please respond to at least one classmate by relating their discussion to examples from the reading and videos. (Be sure to mention the source(s) you discuss.)

Drawing from assigned readings and videos, analyze the gender assumptions and sexual scripts of the joke/meme your classmate shared:

  • What additional information do you observe in your classmate’s post that is worth considering/examining and which terms or ideas are important to reference? How do the class materials help you better understand the meaning and consequences of the gender assumptions and social sexual scripts found within your classmate’s meme or joke?
  • How might the attitudes and ideas presented in this joke contribute toward cultural ideas and practices of victim blaming?
  • What does the joke imply about who should and should not have power? How does  the use of language, imagery, or the implied meaning in the joke function to maintain societal power structures?
  • What do you believe are the larger social implications of the joke your classmate shared? In other words, what effect do you think this joke might have on cultural ideas about gender expectations, harassment, and sexual violence?

CLASSMATES REPLIES:

Olga Pena

“The use of rape jokes has increasingly become prevalent in modern society. Comedians often find it funny to share rape jokes which may not sit well with most people. Normalizing rape through humor contributes to encouraging sexual violence against women. More specifically, rape jokes hurt rape victims who have to live with the trauma for the rest of their lives. For example, Dave Chapelle is known to share rape jokes that don’t augur well with his audience. He shared a rape joke in his Netflix Special, The Age of Spin. “He rapes, but he saves. And he saves more than he rapes.” This is in reference to Bill Cosby, who has faced several rapes and sexual harassment accusations.

Dave Chapelle mentions the charity work Bill Cosby has done for the black community. Such jokes may be taken lightly, but they have a far-reaching effect on both victims and non-victims. This kind of jokes desensitizes the populace by encouraging them to overlook rape cases committed by some people. Thus, they encourage rape culture by encouraging perpetrators to continue as long as they positively influence society. The joke was intended for the general audience and population.

By mentioning Bill Cosby’s charity work, Dave Chapelle indirectly tells the audience to pardon some behaviors on account of the perpetrator. This means that if the accused person is prominent, successful, or powerful, they should be pardoned on account of what they help the society. These kinds of jokes help perpetrators to walk scot-free and, in some cases, become celebrated because the population has been desensitized through jokes. Through these jokes, comedians take power from the victims and give it to the perpetrators. Thus, the jokes contribute to sexual violence against women in society.”

Reading Journal (5 modules and each module require minimum 500 words) in total 2500 words++ needs to be done in 24 hours

/in /by

 During the quarter, you should keep a typed or handwritten journal reflecting on all of the readings and documentaries assigned for each module (not including your textbook). Excellent journal entries will include critical reflections about the writing and its topic, as well as how it fits within the broader context of your textbook readings. This will be due at the end of the quarter and should be submitted electronically through Canvas (scans of handwritten journals are acceptable). There is no limit on the length of your reflections on the readings, however, on average, I would estimate that reflecting on each module’s material would need a minimum of 500 words. I will happily review your initial journal entries if you would like feedback. Reflections from each module will be worth 10 points for a total of 50 points.

Operating System Overview and Analysis

/in /by

Description of LASA:

In this assignment, you will select a real-world operating system (can be for a PC, server, tablet, handheld, or embedded device). You will introduce the operating system and its components and then present and evaluate the operating system’s underlying components.

Scenario

You have recently accepted a position as Director of System Administration at ViralMedia, a company that provides software for use by graphics artists. During your first week, the ViralMedia Director of System Security informed you that her team, for IT governance purposes, is examining operating systems used across the company. She asks you to prepare a presentation on one of the company’s operating systems to the Security Audit team and its stakeholders. She suggests that you create a PowerPoint presentation and then leverage a cloud-based presentation provider such as Zentation (see http://www.zentation.com) to deploy your presentation for viewing by remote stakeholders.

Directions

Create a 15 to 25 slide PowerPoint presentation that provides an overview of the operating system of your choice. You can choose a PC operating system such as Windows, a server-based system, such as Linux, or even a handheld-based system such as Android. Your presentation should begin with a Title slide and include a References slide at the end. Include detailed speaker’s notes for each slide within your presentation.

At a minimum, your presentation should:

  1. Identify and describe your selected operating system, its purpose, and its role in relation to other software.
  2. Describe the various interactive components of the operating system. Provide screen shots, such as the Control Panel, Security Settings for Files, and the System Performance Monitor, as appropriate for the system.
  3. Describe the underlying components that make up the operating system and their role (such as file system, memory manager, network software, and device drivers).
  4. Discuss (and, if possible, illustrate with screen captures), the memory-management technique the operating system employs.
  5. Discuss the operating system’s support for multitasking and how it performs process scheduling.
  6. Describe (and, if possible, illustrate with screen captures) security features the operating system provides.
  7. Discuss the operating system’s support for file management and operations.
  8. Discuss ways to update/patch the operating system.
  9. Compare and contrast the operating system to others available for similar device use.

Introduction
The Cold War ended over a decade before the 21st century began. What was supposed to be a “Brave New World” free of the threat of nuclear conflict and a long period of peace and prosperity has been less than what was expected. Yes, communism as a threat to the world and to the dominance of the United States and capitalism has come to pass, but even though the threat of war from the USSR never materialized (thankfully) a new threat did rise up to challenge the U.S. and the West for control. The rise of radical Islamic groups bent on destroying those they call infidels, especially the United States and Western Europe have caused more than a little death, destruction, and despair to a world hoping those threats had ended.

Instructions
For the initial post, address one of the following:

  • Option 1: Why wasn’t the U.S. and its vastly superior intelligence and military able to stop these attacks? How effective are current measures in dealing with attack prevention? Have we really learned from past mistakes?
  • Option 2: What new problems did the Iraqi War cause for the U.S. and its allies around the world? What effects has it had on the U.S. economy?
  • Option 3: How much more difficult is it to battle an idea or faith, even a violent one, skewed and brutal than to defeat a nation in war like the U.S. and its allies did during World War II? Consider the role technology plays in the dissemination of faith.
  • Option 4: Compare European imperialism to current globalism. How has each changed society, both in industrialized nations and developing nations? Is the claim that globalism is a form of imperialism valid?
  • Option 5: Where do we go from here? Who will the best friends and the worst enemies of the United States be in the coming decades? Will we really, finally achieve that peace and prosperity we all hoped would come to pass?

Tutoring on the Normal Distribution

/in /by

 

Scenario

Frank has only had a brief introduction to statistics when he was in high school 12 years ago, and that did not cover inferential statistics. He is not confident in his ability to answer some of the problems posed in the course.

As Frank’s tutor, you need to provide Frank with guidance and instruction on a spreadsheet he has partially filled out. Your job is to help him understand and comprehend the material. You should not simply be providing him with an answer as this will not help when it comes time to take the test. Instead, you will be providing a step-by-step breakdown of the problems including an explanation on why you did each step and using proper terminology.

What to Submit

To complete this assignment, you must first download the spreadsheet, and then complete it by including the following items on the spreadsheet:

Deliverable 2 – Tutoring on the Normal Distribution.xlsx

  1. Incorrect Answers – Correct any wrong answers. You must also explain the error performed in the problem in your own words.
  2. Partially Finished Work – Complete any partially completed work. Make sure to provide step-by-step instructions including explanations.
  3. Blank Questions – Show how to complete any blank questions by providing step-by-step instructions including explanations.

Literature

/in /by

 

In nursing practice, accurate identification and application of research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. The ability to articulate research data and summarize relevant content supports the student’s ability to further develop and synthesize the assignments that constitute the components of the capstone project.

The assignment will be used to develop a written implementation plan.

For this assignment, provide a synopsis of the review of the research literature. Using the “Literature Evaluation Table,” determine the level and strength of the evidence for each of the eight research articles you have selected. The articles should be current (within the last 5 years) and closely relate to the PICOT question developed earlier in this course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A systematic review may be used to provide background information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

IOT and Social Media

/in /by

 

Although uniquely compliant with current law and guidance, is the collection and aggregation of data from the IoT and social media an ethical use of data. In 750-1,250 words, explain your opinion with supporting evidence. Make sure to address:

  1. How has the IoT and social media been affected by cybersecurity over time?
  2. Acceptable Use Policy. Although users agree to the conditions of it, is the data being collected used for entirely ethical purposes?
  3. User Agreement. If you use something that is provided for free, how does a company make a profit (e.g., how are free products and services monetized)?
  4. If companies build security directly into IoT devices before implementing the hardware into the system, the security would be sounder and could be tested ahead of time, instead of building security around the device as an afterthought. Suppose that you are one of the executive members in the company and face this option. However, the built-in security would cost three times higher than the regular without built-in security. Provide your rationale of the decision in light of the Christian worldview.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
