#1. Impact Evaluation

   In the move to online instruction due to COVID-19, Development University was concerned that its students may not have the technology they needed at home to keep up with their classes. In order to address this issue, at the start of the term, the University offered all students coupons for a 50% price discount on a new iPad. The hope was that the iPad would allow students to participate more fully in their online classes, and therefore allow them to learn more.

    Development University heard that you have learned how to do impact evaluation in your economics classes, so asked you to evaluate how well the iPads worked for their students. In particular, they wanted to know if the iPads caused student grades to improve. In looking at the data, you notice that although all students were offered the coupon, only half of them purchased an iPad through the program. Therefore, you decide to compare the average GPAs of students who purchased an iPad to those who didn't. You find that students who purchased an iPad had an average GPA of 3.4, and students who did not purchase an iPad had an average GPA of 3.1.

1) Explain in words one sentence that clearly describes the context of this study. (The answer should clearly define the treatment and the outcome variable in this study, not just the abstract language of what y0i means in general.)

2) Please explain and describe ?[?1?|??=0] in the context of this study. (The answer should demonstrate a clear understanding of both the treatment and the outcome variable in this study.

Write a paper (2,000-2,500 words) in which you apply the concepts of epidemiology and nursing research to a communicable disease. Refer to "Communicable Disease Chain," "Chain of Infection," and the CDC website for assistance completing this assignment.

Communicable Disease Selection

Choose one communicable disease from the following list:

Tuberculosis

Epidemiology Paper Requirements

Address the following:

Describe the communicable disease (causes, symptoms, mode of transmission, complications, treatment) and the demographic of interest (mortality, morbidity, incidence, and prevalence). Is this a reportable disease? If so, provide details about reporting time, whom to report to, etc.

Describe the determinants of health and explain how those factors contribute to the development of this disease.

Discuss the epidemiologic triangle as it relates to the communicable disease you have selected. Include the host factors, agent factors (presence or absence), and environmental factors. (The textbook describes each element of the epidemiologic triangle). Are there any special considerations or notifications for the community, schools, or general population?

Explain the role of the community health nurse (case finding, reporting, data collecting, data analysis, and follow-up).

Identify at least one national agency or organization that addresses the communicable disease chosen and describe how the organization(s) contributes to resolving or reducing the impact of disease.

Discuss a global implication of the disease. How is this addressed in other countries or cultures? Is this disease endemic to a particular area? Provide an example.

A minimum of three peer-reviewed or professional references is required.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

How would you answer the following question:

Next Wednesday's meeting has been moved forward two days. What day is the meeting now that it has been rescheduled?

This question is ambiguous as "moved forward" can be interpreted in two different ways. Did you answer Monday or Friday? The authors of the paper "Even Abstract Motion Influences the Understanding of Time" (Metaphor and Symbol [2011]: 260–271) wondered if the answers Monday and Friday would be provided an equal proportion of the time. A sample of students at Stanford University were asked this question, and the responses are summarized in the following table.

The authors of the paper used a chi-squared goodness-of-fit test to test the null hypothesis

H₀: p₁ = 0.50, p₂ = 0.50,

where p₁ is the proportion who would respond Monday and p₂ is the proportion who would respond Friday. They reported

χ² = 11.00

and

P-value < 0.001.

What conclusion can be drawn from this test?

Since the P-value is small, there is convincing evidence to conclude that the population proportions of people who respond "Monday" and "Friday" are equal.

Since the P-value is large, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the population proportions of people who respond "Monday" and "Friday" are not equal.   

Since the P-value is small, there is convincing evidence to conclude that the population proportions of people who respond "Monday" and "Friday" are not equal.

Since the P-value is small, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the population proportions of people who respond "Monday" and "Friday" are not equal.

The RN to BSN program at Grand Canyon University meets the requirements for clinical competencies as defined by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), using nontraditional experiences for practicing nurses. These experiences come in the form of direct and indirect care experiences in which licensed nursing students engage in learning within the context of their hospital organization, specific care discipline, and local communities.

Note: The teaching plan proposal developed in this assignment will be used to develop your Community Teaching Plan: Community Presentation due in Topic 5. You are strongly encouraged to begin working on your presentation once you have received and submitted this proposal.

Select one of the following as the focus for the teaching plan:

1. Primary Prevention/Health Promotion
2. Secondary Prevention/Screenings for a Vulnerable Population
3. Bioterrorism/Disaster
4. Environmental Issues

Use the "Community Teaching Work Plan Proposal" resource to complete this assignment. This will help you organize your plan and create an outline for the written assignment.

1. After completing the teaching proposal, review the teaching plan proposal with a community health and public health provider in your local community.
2. Request feedback (strengths and opportunities for improvement) from the provider.
3. Complete the "Community Teaching Experience" form with the provider. You will submit this form in Topic 5.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

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

Show all work done for calculations, starting with an equation whenever possible, and include all units. If asked to explain, give a brief response (1-2 complete sentences).

For full credit on FBDs and N2L expressions, follow the guidelines in the topic summary on FBDs.

Invent unique, concrete situations for each of the four cases below.

• Describe each situation clearly and concretely in 1-2 sentences.

• Make a complete free-body diagram showing the forces acting on the object you've chosen.

• Write out a complete N2L expression for each axis

◦ none of the final N2L expressions should contain “Fnet x” or “Fnet y”, and should include an “ma” term only if the object is accelerating parallel to a given axis.

For your invented situations, the key words are unique and concrete: don't copy from examples or assigned problems; name a specific object (car, refrigerator, basketball, …) for each case and use that name to describe what's happening to it (or what it's doing), rather than abstract words like "object" or "body". Also name forces specifically (e.g., “static friction” and “FS” rather than “friction” and “FF”).

a) Three forces act on an object, each one of a different type.

b) Four forces act on an object, each one of a different type.

c) Four forces act on an object; two are of the same type, but exerted by different objects.

d) Five forces act on an object; no more than two can be of the same type.

2. Dynamic Stack Template In this chapter you studied DynIntStack, a class that implements a dynamic stack of integers. Write a template that will create a dynamic stack of any data type. Demonstrate the class with a driver program.
3. Static Queue Template In this chapter you studied IntQueue, a class that implements a static queue of integers. Write a template that will create a static queue of any data type. Demonstrate the class with a driver program.
4. Dynamic Queue Template In this chapter you studied DynIntQueue, a class that implements a dynamic queue of integers. Write a template that will create a dynamic queue of any data type. Demonstrate the class with a driver program.
5. Error Testing The DynIntStack and DynIntQueue classes shown in this chapter are abstract data types using a dynamic stack and dynamic queue, respectively. The classes do not currently test for memory allocaton errors. Modify the classes so they determine if new nodes cannot be created, and handle the error condition in an appropriate way. (You will need to catch the predefined exception bad_alloc.)

Note: If you have already done Programming Challenges 2 and 4, modify the templates you created.

6. Dynamic String Queue Design a class that stores strings on a dynamic queue. The strings should not be fixed in length. Demonstrate the class with a driver program.

LP1 Assignment: Milestone 1: International Expansion

This assignment will assess competency

1. Build effective global and international linkages for multinational organizations.

Directions

The company you work for is expanding internationally in the near future. A team of employees, which you are a part, have been given the task of evaluating one developed (not the U.S.), one emerging and one developing country for possible expansion. You will pick three countries this week, using the Dow Jones Indexes, and begin the process of evaluation. Choose three countries in which you have an interest – do not focus on finding the best choice (remember there is an entire team doing the same process in other countries). There is every possibility that by the end of the process (i.e., the end of class) your country recommendations will be not chosen for expansion, and that is fine. We are completing our due diligence on all the choices at hand. This week you will look at the political, legal and technological ramifications of your three countries. You will write up, for each country, all the pros and cons of the choice of each country based on your readings of the first three chapters of your text, the CIA World Factbook and the AIB Global Edge, plus other research from other sources. The expectation would be for a minimum of two pages per country. You will follow APA (6th edition) formatting (no abstract is required for this milestone) with title and reference pages, indented paragraphs and a minimum of four APA formatted references and associated in-text citations. This information, and that of the following LPs, will become part of your final project artefact.
