What to do

This assignment is going to be pretty simple - we're just going compute frequency counts of certain colors in certain ranges (Histogram of the image).

Because there is no natural way of segregating RGB color ranges, we usually do this color by color. So you'll be computing frequency counts for individual color components individually.

The expectation is that you will write a function as described by a python function signature below (while you are free to do whatever you want, I think doing future parts of the assignment will be easier if the code is structured this way) -

Think about what happens when one is comparing images of different sizes -

  • Lets say A is an 4 by 4 image where half of the colors are gray (rgb(128, 128, 128)), and the other half is white (rgb(255, 255, 255))
  • When you compute frequencies for Red component, you'll find that 128 occurs 8 times and 255 occurs 8 times also.
  • Lets say B is an 8 by 8 image where half of the colors are gray (rgb(128, 128, 128)), and the other half is white (rgb(255, 255, 255))
  • When you compute frequencies for Red component, you'll find that 128 occurs 32 times and 255 occurs 32 times also.
  • This would mean that images that are basically the same in terms of colors (both half gray and white), end up with different histograms.

To make sure similar images have similar histograms regardless of image size, it is good to normalise frequencies by dividing each frequency count by the total number of pixel in the image.

  • After normalization, frequency for red 128 in A would be 8 / (4 * 4) = 0.5
  • After normalization, frequency for red 128 in B would be 32 / (8 * 8) = 0.5
  • You will be given an image as a text file in the format we've been using so far - assignment_files.zip

Hello,

What other info do you need.  

For your final project, choose three areas of healthcare ethics that interest you. These could be topical areas or current events. In a single document, summarize each of the three areas in two paragraphs per case, and why you would like to explore them. Ask one ethical and one legal question that might be present within the realm of each topic.

1, Confidentiality - The protection of private patient information in the medical field is one of the most important ethical issues that may arise in the field of healthcare. Conversations between a patient and a doctor are strictly confidential and access to them is strictly monitored. An ethics committee needs to make sure that its patients' medical records are safeguarded. Thanks to federal and state laws, they now are.

2.Terminally ill patients - As with elderly patients, terminally ill patients may have specific wishes for the manner in which they want their lives to end. Dealing with an issue such as euthanasia is very difficult and therefore requires a deep understanding of ethical processes.

3.  The Waiting List has been a growing problem in health care system as progressively increasing demand for health care services has put mounting pressure on the already strained health care systems in the country. Waiting for needed care may in some cases compromise the health status and outcomes of patients, impede their ability to return to normal functioning at work and at home, and may also contribute to psychological distress. Waiting lists may also contribute to inappropriate use of scarce resources as is the case when acute care beds are used for long-term care patients, or ICU beds for chronic care patients. Waiting lists also raise the issue of geographical inequities among regions or various health centres.

To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Submission Detail

Your assignment should be addressed in a 2- to 3-page document.

Submit your document to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.

You are given a new puppy as a birthday present and are eager to play with her. However, you soon come to realize that your new puppy has other plans. She decides to ransack your room and go after anything she can grasp in her mouth. One of the items is a rigid ball that has 5 grams of liquid ethanol in it from an experiment you did in class. The hot breath of the puppy vaporizes 50% of the ethanol to create an air-ethanol mixture at 50°C. After a few minutes, she releases the ball and the air-ethanol mixture comes to a new equilibrium state at 30°C. Taking the total pressure inside of the ball to be 1 atm, estimate the percent of ethanol that condenses at the final state. [HINT: Think carefully about how much ethanol is in the vapor state before the actual process starts. This is your starting amount.]

Registered Nurse Christine works in a large long-term care facility and is the nurse manager of Unit 2 North.

Registered Nurse Christine works in a large long-term care facility and is the nurse manager of Unit 2 North. A registered nurse colleague and Unit 2 West manager, Sylvia, calls Christine and asks her to come to Unit 2 West to help with a computer problem at the nurses’ station. As Christine walks down the hall of Sylvia’s unit, she hears a resident crying out very loudly. The cry sounds like an expression of pain. Christine enters the resident’s room and notices the resident is tightly restrained to the bed and is lying in excrement. From a quick assessment, Christine believes the resident is alert and oriented. Though she has tried to convince herself otherwise, lately, Christine has been thinking that Sylvia acts strongly paternalistic with her residents and her manner is abrupt rather than compassionate. Christine has seen at least two residents begin to cry when Sylvia fusses at them.

Questions:                                                             

1. What should Christine do about her findings?

2. What are the bases for your answers to question?

3. Does the Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements provide guidance in this situation? Explain.

4. Is paternalism always unethical when caring for long-term care residents? Explain.

5. Conduct a search of reliable literature about the use of restraints with elderly patients. From your search, develop an educational program 332 Appendix A Case Studies for long-term care nurses and aides about using restraints with their residents

A random sample of 49 measurements from one population had a sample mean of 10, with sample standard deviation 3. An independent random sample of 64 measurements from a second population had a sample mean of 12, with sample standard deviation 4. Test the claim that the population means are different. Use level of significance 0.01.

(a) What distribution does the sample test statistic follow? Explain.

(b) State the hypotheses.

(c) Compute x1 2 x2 and the corresponding sample test statistic.

(d) Estimate the P-value of the sample test statistic.

(e) Conclude the test.

(f) Interpret the results.
