A nurse on the research and practice committee is preparing for an update on evidence-based practice (EBP). There is a need to address the potential changes with several EBP policies. This presentation will examine the EBP policies as well as reasoning and rationale as to why changes may be needed.

Choose an EBP topic and two scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles

Compare the difference between theory, research, and practice in nursing

Choose a theory that best correlates with the EBP practice change that you would like to make

Compare and contrast the quantitative and qualitative research article that you choose for the EBP topic

What technology did you use to locate the articles? Databases? Search terms?

What are the philosophical, theoretical, and methodological perspectives in the research articles that were chosen?

What are the ethical and scientific integrity issues related to the research?

How did your nursing knowledge advance through the utilization of research?

An asset which could be purchased outright for £383,720 is instead leased by Lessee Ltd for three years at the end of which the asset will have no residual value. The lease provides for half-yearly payments in advance of £72,000, the first payment being made on 1 January 2018. The asset is to be depreciated using the straight line method.
Required:
(a) Show how the asset will be accounted for in the financial statements for the year ended 2018 under IAS 17 if:
(i) Lessee Ltd is responsible for all maintenance and insurance costs;
(ii) Lessee Ltd is not responsible for the maintenance and insurance costs.

(b) IFRS 16 Leases has changed how leases will be recognised in financial statements. Outline the key changes to lease accounting contained in IFRS 16 and discuss why these changes were considered to be needed.
Your answer to this part of the question should not be more than 150 words.

the shape of the distribution of the time required to get an oil change in a 15 minute oil change facility is on now. However, records indicate them me Tom is 16.8 minutes, and the center deviation is 4.4 minutes.

a.) To compute probabilities regarding the sample mean using the normal model what size would be required?

b.) what is the probability that a random sample of n equals 40 oil changes results in a sample mean time less than 15 minutes?

c.) suppose the manager agreed to pay each employee $50 bonus if they made a certain go on a typical Saturday the oil change facility will perform 40 oil changes between 10 a. m. and 12 p. m. During this is a random sample, what main oil change time will there be a 10% chance of being at or below? This will be the goal established by the manager

Specific factor model: Suppose that there are two sectors in the United States: the food sector, with land as the specific factor, the manufacturing sector, and capital as the specific element. Labor can flow between departments.

1. Suppose a good weather makes several states have a big harvest, which leads to an 8% drop in food prices. Please elaborate and analyze the changes of labor mobility, nominal income and actual income of labor force and factor owners (please show graph).

2. Suppose a typhoon destroys a lot of farmland in Jamaica, so that the land resources in Jamaica are temporarily reduced. And land is a very important specific factor in food production. Jamaica's food and manufactured goods production will be affected by this change.

Please analyze the changes of labor flow, nominal income and actual income of labor force and factor owners in detail and show graph（Assume price do not change）.

a. A mutation in the regulatory region of a gene gives it a new pattern of expression. Normally the wild type protein is produced only in the brain, the mutant form is found in many different tissues. This type of mutation is called a

a. reverse mutation

b. lethal mutation

c. gain-of-function mutation

d. conditional mutation

e. loss-of-function mutation

b. Suppose you have a mutation in a protein at codon 64 that changes a glycine codon to a valine codon. The mutant protein is unable to function. However, a second mutation, which changes codon 50 from an alanine codon to a threonine codon, is able to restore function. Which of the following is the appropriate term to describe the second mutation.

Companies routinely face debt covenants and occasionally these covenants are binding. That is, the company’s financial statements indicate that the covenant has been violated or is close to being violated. Managers have historically used various means to improve their reported numbers to avoid binding covenants, including adjusting accounting accruals, and making “real” operating changes such as decreasing certain discretionary expenses or cutting back on capital expenditures.

a. How do accounting accrual adjustments affect covenants that require minimums for retained earnings or for certain ratios such as the current ratio? Are those effects permanent?

b. How do real operating changes affect covenants that require minimums for retained earnings or for certain ratios such as the current ratio? Are those effects permanent?

c. What consequences might arise if the company focuses on managing reported numbers to avoid violating debt covenants? What parties are affected by such schemes?

On the basis of historical data, Richard Tenant, a business historian who studied the tobacco industry,[1] has concluded:

“The consumption of cigarettes is [relatively] insensitive to changes in price…In contrast, the demand for individual brands is highly elastic in its response to price…In 1918, for example, Lucky Strike was sold for a short time at a higher retail price than Camel or Chesterfield and rapidly lost half its business”

1. Explain why the demand for a particular brand is more elastic than the demand for all cigarettes.
2. Do you think that the demand curve for cigarettes is the same now as it was in 1918? If not, describe in detail all the factors you can think of that may have shifted the curve and whether each factor shifted the curve to the right or to the left. Draw a graph (like the ones we have used in class) that illustrates at least one of these changes.

Choose the correct answer.

A.1 The marginal propensity for consumption shows us:

A. the change in consumption per unit of change in income.

B. the percentage of income consumed.

C. how income changes when consumption changes.

D. all of the above.

B. the investment made will be greater than the desired investment.

C. the investment made will be less than the desired investment.

D. there will be an unwanted accumulation of stocks of goods.
A.3 In an economy where there is no state and foreign trade, when the marginal momentum for consumption is equal to 0.5, the investment multiplier is equal to:

A. 2. B. 1. C. 0.5. D. 0.
