Practice Concepts and Basic Data Analysis QRB

  

Use the internet to find one example of each of the following graphs:

 

  • Line      graph
  • Bar      graph (horizontal or vertical bars are acceptable)
  • Pie      graph
  • Suppose you were presenting these graphs to a group of      people (clients, co-workers, friends, etc.) who are not mathematically      savvy.
    Create a 7- to 10-slide presentation with speaker notes that      provides a non-technical explanation of each graph. Remember, you are      addressing people who probably do not like or understand mathematical      terms.
    For each graph, include the      following: Screenshot of your graph.
  • For      the line graph, what are the labels on the horizontal and vertical      axes? 
  • For      the bar graph, what labels are on the bars? What is being measured in this      graph? (Hint: look at the axis label.)
  • For      the pie graph, what is the title, in other words, what is it measuring?
  • How      would you improve each graph if at all? Is anything missing, misleading,      or perhaps just wrong with this graph?
  • What      would be the appropriate measure(s) for central tendency (mean, median,      mode) to display with each graph?
  • What      measure of dispersion (range, standard deviation) would be best?
  • Provide      a reference citation for the source of your graph so your facilitator can      find the graph online. Note: sometimes information changes      from day to day on websites, hence the reason for the required screenshot      in first bullet point above.

Note: If you are having difficulty finding graphs here are a few places to consider looking:

Option 5: Where do we go from here? Who will be our best friends and worst enemies in the coming decades? Will we finally achieve peace and prosperity that we all hoped for?

In 1945, after WWII, the United Nations (UN) was created with one central mission of maintaining international peace and security. They accomplish this by working to prevent conflicts, helping parties in conflict make peace, deploying peacekeepers, and creating the conditions to allow peace to hold and flourish (United Nations, n.d.). The UN employs preventative diplomacy and mediation, peacekeeping operations, peacebuilding, countering terrorism and disarmament to help maintain peace and security.

According to a Economist/YouGov poll, most Americans feel that the worst enemies to the United States are: China, Russia, North Korea and Iran (Frankovic, 2021).

A survey published in the New York Times showed that Americans believe that Australia, Canada, Britain and France to be our greatest allies; not necessarily in that order because democrats and republicans believe differently (Katz & Quealy, 2017).

It would be nice to think that peace and prosperity would be finally achieved but I am hesitant because it seems one country is always mad at another one for some reason; whether it be the launching of ballistic missiles into the sea of Japan, the U.S. goods trade deficit with China or any other situational crisis, it seems that tensions run high between countries that interact or depend on something from the other. Can’t we all just get along? Time magazine (2015) concludes that World peace imposed by a dominant power is unlikely because global power is becoming increasingly diversified and contentious. It could be that worldwide peace will only come when the threat to humanity’s existence becomes an imminent threat to all (Time, 2015).

Assignment 1 eco

Microeconomics Case Study

Instructions

In this exercise, you will demonstrate your ability to find microeconomic data from public sources and to make a simple spreadsheet in Excel.

  1. Start by choosing an industry that interests you. 
    • Remember that an industry is a group of companies that do the same thing. For example, Ford is a company; automobile manufacturing is an industry.
  2. Choose a microeconomic variable for your industry. 
    • It could be prices, sales, production, advertising, or investment.
  3. Do some research and find three years of this microeconomic variable for your industry. 
    • For example, you might find automobile sales data for 2017, 2018, and 2019.
  4. Go to the Census Bureau (NAICS) website and select an industry that has a description. Some of the smaller industries are named, but not described. 
    • The industry could be broad, such as industry 11 Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Hunting, or it could be narrow, such as industry 112112 Cattle Feedlots. The more digits in the industry label, the narrower the industry
  5. Prepare an Excel spreadsheet that has two columns and four rows. In cell A1, type in the industry you selected and bold the text. In the heading for cell A2, type “Year.” In cells A3, A4, and A5 descending below this heading, type the years for your data. In the automobile example, this would be 2017, 2018, and 2019.
  6. In the heading for column two, cell B2, type the name of the variable you chose. For example, it could be “Sales.” In the cells below this heading, type the sales data for each of the three years.
  7. Underneath your table, type “Source:” Then paste the URL of the source where you found your data.

Social Economic Status and Diabetes Mellitus

Social Economic Status and Diabetes Mellitus

Evidence-Based Practice can be defined as the systems, procedures, and processes that are applied in implementing quality research findings on decision making in the clinical setting. However, EBP has been adopted on a limited scope contributing to a significant gap in the best available clinical practices and those implemented in the actual clinical setting. EBP is essential to delivering health services because it eliminates the errors associated with obsolete information, the impact of subjective errors, and clinical practices resulting from unsubstantiated experiences. Due to rapid advances in medical knowledge about advancements in the treatments of Diabetes mellitus patients, suitable change models are required to implement rising changes and improvements in clinical practice. Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation Model is an appropriate model for implementing desired changes for Diabetes Mellitus patients because it is effective across multiple clinical settings.

The first phase in the implementation of the Rogers Diffusion of Innovation Model is knowledge. In this phase, employees or associated personnel are educated about the functions and mechanisms involved in adopting innovative systems. Persuasion is the second phase, which entails creating individual perceptions about innovations’ attributes about the complexity and relative advantage of specific systems. For instance, in a hospital setting, if nurses perceive a new patient-records management system that a hospital is planning on adopting as complex, they are likely to prefer older systems over new systems (Pashaeypoor et al., 2016). Decision is the third phase of this model. Individuals make the final decisions on whether to dismiss or embrace an innovative system in this phase. The final step involves either adoption or dismissal (Mohammadi et al., 2018). If employees consider innovation as advantageous, they’ll accept its integration into clinical systems. In contrast, if they feel a system to be too expensive or too complicated, the possibilities of dismissing its application are high. 

Proposed changes for improving people’s social experiences suffering from diabetes Mellitus in various clinical settings are increasing funding for lower socioeconomic areas, increasing the number of healthcare providers in remote areas, and promoting health services concerning recommended healthy dietary lifestyles (Butler, 2017). These changes will improve access for individuals suffering from diabetes mellitus to essential care in their moments of need. Using Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation Model will involve five phases. In the first phase, the community and members of the healthcare system will be educated on the proposed solutions’ reasons and benefits. 

The second phase will involve persuading people in the community and the healthcare system to participate in implementing these solutions. In the third phase, records will be taken on the willing participants of the model. The final phase is the decision or dismissal. Cooperation will be encouraged between healthcare givers and the community who have accepted the implementation of these solutions. For instance, hospital caregivers will be encouraged to conduct home visits, and the individuals suffering from diabetes mellitus will be asked to consider receiving treatment at home. The decisions of nurses and type 2 patients who chose not to participate in the program will also be respected. 

Implementing the Rogers Diffusion of Innovation Model in these proposed solutions to treat diabetes mellitus patients is expected to produce favorable outcomes. For instance, the prevalence of diabetes type 2 in rural areas is expected to reduce due to improved access to nutritional practices, good education on healthcare, and better healthcare access. Reduced type 2 diabetes cases are also expected to decrease due to the efforts to achieve healthcare equity in remote populations (Greenwood et al., 2017). This process’s common barriers include limited training for nurses on providing care to people in remote areas, especially in their homes, and bad time of making consultations from evidence-based research on the most suitable methods of implementing solutions aimed at reducing adverse diabetes mellitus outcomes (Avilés-Santa, 2020). However, appropriate systems will be designed to handle these challenges.

Assessing and Diagnosing Patients With Schizophrenia, Other Psychotic Disorders, and Medication-Induced Movement Disorders

  

For this Assignment, you will analyze a case study related to schizophrenia, another psychotic disorder, or a medication-induced movement disorder.

  • Review this week’s Learning      Resources and consider the insights they provide about assessing and      diagnosing psychotic disorders. Consider whether experiences of      psychosis-related symptoms are always indicative of a diagnosis of      schizophrenia. Think about alternative diagnoses for psychosis-related      symptoms.
  • Download the      Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template, which you will use to      complete this Assignment. Also review the Comprehensive Psychiatric      Evaluation Exemplar to see an example of a completed evaluation      document. 
  • By Day 1 of      this week, you will be assigned to a specific video case study for this      Assignment. View your assigned video case, keeping the requirements of the      documentation template in mind.
  • Consider what      history would be necessary to collect from this patient.
  • Consider what      interview questions you would need to ask this patient.

Complete and submit your Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate primary diagnosis.

Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:

  • Subjective: What details did the patient      provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your      differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their      symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in      life? 
  • Objective: What observations did you make      during the psychiatric assessment?  
  • Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental      status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide      a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, listed in      order from highest priority to lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5      diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5      criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate      diagnosis. Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the      primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent      negatives for the specific patient case.
  • Reflection notes: What would you do differently      with this client if you could conduct the session over? Also include in      your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations      (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for      treatment!), health promotion and disease prevention taking into      consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and      other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).

community health

 

Instructions:

  1. Think about areas/topics/populations within Public Health that are of special interest to you (e.g., women’s health, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, low-income Latinas, epidemiology, etc.).  If you are a Public Health major, these topics should be related to your career path of interest once you graduate with a degree in Public Health from Cal State LA.  If you are not a Public Health major, these areas/topics/populations should be of special interest to you and/or relevant to your desired area of study.
  2. Once you have brainstormed ideas, select one area/topic/population within Public Health that you would like to further explore.
  3. Next, go to the “CDC Public Health Grand Rounds” website located at https://www.cdc.gov/grand-rounds/ (Links to an external site.)
  4. Click on the “See All Topics” icon in the middle right-hand side of the page.
  5. Review the available topics and select one grand rounds video that is related to your selected Public Health area/topic/population of interest.  You may use the search function to locate related videos as well.  If you cannot find a video that matches your selected area/topic/population, you may need to switch to a new area/topic/population of interest that has a corresponding video.
  6. Once selected, view the video in-full.  All videos are approximately 1 hour in length.
  7. Once you have viewed your selected video, complete the LA 4: CDC Grand Rounds Assignment template.

Discussion module 3

link to demo videos:  https://youtu.be/Yj6qXzM2Iz4

For this discussion you must post one main discussion post and reply to one other student’s post.  

Your main post must include:

1.  State which of the concepts you are going to discuss  The four options are 1.  Conservation of Energy 2.  Rotational Inertia. 3 Angular momentum, 4.  Torque

2. Use the video shown to FULLY explain the science

  • For conservation of energy,
    • include what happens to the forms of energy during the swing
    • explain why it is not possible for the ball to hit Dom in the chin
    • explain why the dinosaur was hit by the ball
  • For Rotation Inertia
    • Explain the impact of the weight place for each wheel on the rotational inertia of each wheel
    • Explain why the wheels reached the bottom at different times specifically using rotational inertia in the explanation
  • For Angular momentum
    • Explain what angular momentum is
    • Specifically using the figure skater, explain what happens to angular momentum, rotational inertia, and rotational speed during the various parts of the spin.  
    • If one or more of these variables are changing, be sure to explain why
  • For Torque
    • Using the concept of torque explain how it is possible for the man to be balanced on the board without anyone holding it.  
    • Include all the information the demonstrators needed to determine where to place the board on the pivot in order for it to be exactly balanced.  

3.  Think of something you experience in your daily life that is related to any of these four concepts (it does not have to be the same as the concept you explain).   Share this with your fellow students, be sure to explain your example and how it is related to these concepts.   Try to pick an experience that you feel other students can relate to as well.

In addition to your main post, you must provide a substantive reply post to another student’s post.  Be respectful, but if the student’s explanation is missing anything, add what you think is missing, or if there are errors, suggest the correct science.  Include a comment on how you might relate to the experience you share.  Consider adding something to this experience that takes the discussion farther or in a new direction… 

Think of it this way… if you were in a group setting how would you add something to a conversation on this topic and keep the conversation going.  It must be something more than “I can relate to your experience”… or “I had the same experience”. These examples aren’t substantive.  But stating “I had a similar experience but I…” does.  

All posts must be posted by Midnight Sunday of the week the post is due;  late posts will not be accepted.  Your main post is worth 30 points Your reply post is worth 10 point
