End user computing------in some cases an organization’s information system (IS) is planned and centered on specific goals; in other cases, technology is an afterthought to the actual business objectives. Can you think of examples of how technology has altered the way we do business today? Were those changes and implementations accomplished by understanding the goals of the business?

In two paragraph, explain the hierarchical structure of a system that you have worked on and how emergence affects the levels in the systems hierarchy. Provide details and apply what you learned here to discuss what (if any) changes you would have done, if you have to do it all over again.

Select a policy that meets the following criteria (if need be, two out of the three will work as well).
Next, select another policy from a different jurisdiction to analyze the differences and answer the following:
1. Briefly describe the main components of each policy.
2. Why would this policy lead to changes in inequality, that is: What economic changes and results do you expect? By what mechanism would change happen? What measures of inequality, wealth, or poverty do you think would change as a result of the policy? What distributional effects would there be or what overall effects on the economy in the jurisdiction?
4. Design a research experiment plan to survey and test the proposed recommendations. What would be the research design? What are some important research methods concerns people should be aware of? What would be some limitations to an experiment?

Suppose the economy is operating in long-run equilibrium and a positive demand shock hits. We expect a short-run increase in real GDP and the price level and a long-run _____ in real GDP (in comparison to the then short run GDP) and _____ the price level (in comparison to the then short run price level). |

QUESTION: Suppose the government borrows $5 billion more next year than this year (for example, theymove from a balanced budget to a $5 billion deficit or from a $10 billion deficit to a $15 billiondeficit).
a. Use a supply-and-demand diagram to analyse this policy. Does the interest rate rise or fall?
b. What happens to investment? To private saving? To public saving? To national saving?Compare the size of the equilibrium changes with the $5 billion of extra borrowing. Is it thesame, less, or more? Carefully explain why and distinguish the various movements in thediagram.
c. How do the elasticities of supply of and demand for loanable funds (i.e. the slopes of thecurves) affect the size of these changes? (Hint: See chapter 5 to review the definition ofelasticity.)
d. Suppose households believe that greater government saving today implies lower future taxessince there will be little government debt. What does this belief do to private saving and thesupply of loanable funds today? Does it increase or decrease the effects you discussed inparts (a) and (b)?

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?
The peer reviewed topic is on hand washing you can choose two scholarly journals on hand washing, i will just need the references

What is the multivalue, multicolumn problem? What is a multivalued dependency, and how is it resolved by 4NF? To answer these questions, alter exercise 2.40 to allow students to have multiple majors. In this case, the relational structure is: STUDENT (StudentNumber, StudentName, SiblingName, Major) A. Define and discuss the multivalue, multicolumn problem. Define and discuss a multivalued dependency. B. Show an example of this relation for two students, one of whom has three siblings and the other of whom has one sibling. Assume that each student has a single major. C. Show the data changes necessary to add a second major for only the first student. D. Based on your answer to part C, show the data changes necessary to add a second major for the second student. E. Explain the differences in your answers to parts C and D. Comment on the desirability of this situation. F. Define and discuss 4NF, and how 4NF can be used to allow a set of wellformed relations. . Divide this relation into a set of well-formed

Two skaters at rest, one of 120 kg and the second of 60 kg, push off against another. Which will gain the largest magnitude of momentum? A. Both skaters will gain momentum of the same magnitude B. Neither skaters will gain any momentum C. the 120-kg skater D. the 60-kg skater E. the momentum of each skater is conserved
Momentum changes for each of these scenarios except for A. a neutron in a nuclear reactor that changes the direction but not the magnitude of its velocity when it scatters off another neutron B. a falling rock from an instant after initial drop from a high tower until an instant before impact C. a block sliding at constant speed (with friction) down an inclined plane D. a movie stunt performer flying on a parabolic path before the performer stops on the ground E. a rocket sled on a horizontal track from an instant after the drag parachute opens until an instant before the sled comes to rest
