Business Law – Initial Post

 

Please have a read through the information provided below and answer the question with relevant references.

I do feel that the Human Rights Act 1998 does somewhat erode Parliamentary Sovereignty. After researching the topic, it is clear why this question is so relevant.

Those against the European Court Human Rights highlight that UK MPs can indirectly overturn legal rulings made in British Courts through decisions they make in Parliament, and cites that due to this MPs are the highest legal authority in the UK’s constitutional structure, who importantly are elected by their constituents. The argument begins when it is considered that decisions made by judges from the European Court of Human Rights are not subject to the same scrutiny (Wagner, 2011). e.g. ‘article 46 of the European Convention on Human Rights states that the government must “abide by”, that is, it must follow, final decisions of the European Court of Human Rights’ (Wagner, 2011).

Speaking on this subject, Adam Wagner said ‘Any power that judges have, such as the power to prevent criminals being sent back to their home countries if to do so would breach their human rights, is directly conferred by decisions of parliament and can straightforwardly (well, fairly straightforwardly) be taken away. But it is more difficult to explain why the actions of UK judges are limited by a constitutional compromise developed over centuries, while European judges have been given enormous power almost via the back door.’ (Wagner, 2011). This frustration is echoed in the media, an example of which is The Telegraph’s claim in 2015 that ‘At least 20 foreign terrorists have used the Human Rights Act to remain in the UK’ (Mendick, 2015).

 

This helps to show the mood and scepticism from many about the jurisdiction of the ECHR in the UK, but can anyone from the group provide some examples of where the ECHR is having a positive impact on the UK currently?

READ Chapter 9: Narrative Criticism (Attached at end of Instructions)

discuss narrative criticism by focusing on one of the essays in Chapter 9: Narrative Criticism. Note: Do not confuse the essays in the chapter for

the artifacts that the essays analyze.

This an open-ended prompt. Be sure to demonstrate your understanding of narrative criticism and be sure to engage the readings in an intelligent

manner. provide your own critiques. Continue moving away from “looking for the correct answer” and move toward developing your own voice as a

critic.

Cover your bases. Back your claims. Develop your ideas. Don’t make your audience guess. Be clear and specific, rather than vague and abstract.

Nursing

 

Nursing
Course Project: Introduction to Course Project
Evidence-based practice involves a great deal more than simply reading nursing periodicals on a regular basis. Nurses can take a more proactive approach

to evidence-based practice by identifying authentic problems and concerns, and then using that to guide their inquiries into current research. In this

way, nurses can connect the results of relevant research studies to their nursing practice.
For the Course Project, you identify and apply relevant research to a specific nursing topic or problem. You begin by formulating an answerable question

that is relevant to nursing and evidence-based practice. In later weeks of this course, you continue the Course Project by conducting a literature

review and then determining how the evidence from the literature can be applied to nursing practice.
Before you begin, review the Course Project Overview document located in this week’s Learning Resources.
Note: This Course Project will serve as the Portfolio Assignment for the course. In addition to submitting portions of this Project in Weeks 2 and 5,

you will turn in all three deliverables in Week 10.
Course Project: Part 1—Identifying a Researchable Problem
One of the most challenging aspects of EBP is to actually identify the answerable question.
—Karen Sue Davies
Formulating a question that targets the goal of your research is a challenging but essential task. The question plays a crucial role in all other

aspects of the research, including the determination of the research design and theoretical perspective to be applied, which data will be collected, and

which tools will be used for analysis. It is therefore essential to take the time to ensure that the research question addresses what you actually want

to study. Doing so will increase your likelihood of obtaining meaningful results.
In this first component of the Course Project, you formulate questions to address a particular nursing issue or problem. You use the PICOT model—

patient/population, intervention/issue, comparison, and outcome—outlined in the Learning Resources to design your questions.
To prepare:
Review the article, “Formulating the Evidence Based Practice Question: A Review of the Frameworks,” found in the Learning Resources for this week. Focus

on the PICOT model for guiding the development of research questions.
Review the section beginning on page 71 of the course text, titled, “Developing and Refining Research Problems” in the course text, which focuses on

analyzing the feasibility of a research problem.
Reflect on an issue or problem that you have noticed in your nursing practice. Consider the significance of this issue or problem.
Generate at least five questions that relate to the issue which you have identified. Use the criteria in your course text to select one question that

would be most appropriate in terms of significance, feasibility, and interest. Be prepared to explain your rationale.
Formulate a preliminary PICO question—one that is answerable—based on your analysis. What are the PICO variables (patient/population,

intervention/issue, comparison, and outcome) for this question?
Note: Not all of these variables may be appropriate to every question. Be sure to analyze which are and are not relevant to your specific question.
Using the PICOT variables that you determined for your question, develop a list of at least 10 keywords that could be used when conducting a literature

search to investigate current research pertaining to the question.
To complete:
Write a 3- to 4-page paper that includes the following:
A summary of your area of interest, an identification of the problem that you have selected, and an explanation of the significance of this problem for

nursing practice
The 5 questions you have generated and a description of how you analyzed them for feasibility
Your preliminary PICOT question and a description of each PICOT variable relevant to your question
At least 10 possible keywords that could be used when conducting a literature search for your PICOT question and a rationale for your selections
By Day 7
Submit your Project. It will also be a component of your Portfolio Assignment for this course, which is due by Day 7 of Week 10.

The musée de la liberation (15th)

This project is about taking the building “the Musee de la liberation” and transform it into students dorm.

http://www.reinventer.paris/en/sites/1330-the-Musee-de-la-liberation-15th.html

By reading the link above, it has the original information. Now we need to adjust this building to our priorities.

– Market research: It is about available metro, RER, trains, gyms, library, events, gaming room, garden, basketball field or any other facilities

needed for students (EXCEPT FOOD AND DRINKS). This category needs to be very very specific about the size and room spaces for each facility. (6

Pages).

– New vision on the building: about what are we going to do and why choosing this exact building for student dorms. (1 page)

Adjusting and Closing Entries

As a staff accountant at ABC Tax & Accounting Service, you have a number of clients who need a variety of services from you. Some will contract with you to do their payroll only, some will ask that you perform the full accounting cycle for them from journal entries to financial statements to closing entries and preparation of the tax returns and payroll reports. One of your clients is Marabelle Hernandez, owner of Marabelle’s Craft ‘n Shop. As the accounting period comes to an end, you will prepare the adjusting and closing entries, as well as prepare the financial statements and for Marabelle’s Craft ‘n Shop. Please download and use the template below to complete your work.

Module 03 Course Project Assignment Template

Your order of completion should be:

  1. Complete the adjusting journal entries.

 

  1. Enter the adjusting journal entry amounts in the worksheet “Adjusting Entries” columns. Solve for the balance changes and enter new account balances in the “Adjusted Trial Balance” columns.

 

  1. Transfer income statement account balances to the “Income Statement” debit and credit columns, and transfer balance sheet account balances to the “Balance Sheet” debit and credit columns.

 

  1. Enter formulas to show total debits and credits of all worksheet columns. In the Debit side of the Income Statement columns and the Credit side of the balance sheet columns, enter the net income figure and find balance in debits and credits for these two worksheet items.

 

  1. Journalize the closing entries. Recall, we close Revenue, Expense, and Drawing accounts. Use the Income Summary account to close revenue and expenses to, and the capital account to close the drawing account to, as Marabelle is a proprietor and not a corporation so there is no retained earnings account to be used.

 

  1. Complete the Income Statement.

 

  1. Complete the Balance Sheet. Remember, Marabelle’s capital account balance will have changed from the worksheet balance to include the net income and the drawing balance.

 

  1. Complete the Statement of Cash Flows. Use the “2015 PCTB” tab for end of last year’s account balances to compare to end of the current year’s balances for your operating section information.

 

  1. On Ratio Analysis tab in the template, show a basic analysis of the information found in the statements. This should include, at minimum, the following ratios:
    • Current Ratio
    • Inventory Turnover
    • Debt Ratio
    • Gross Profit Percentage
    • Profit Margin

For each ratio, include what the benchmark is for that ratio for a company in the craft store market.
