Introduction:

For this assessment, you will be required to develop and thoroughly analyze a public policy in order to advocate for one that improves the health of the public and/or the nursing profession globally (local, state, national, or international). To do this, you will reflect on several aspects of being a policy maker within the nursing position. A few things to consider are:
•   Why did you select the health or nursing profession policy issue?

•   How does this issue affect nursing practice, healthcare delivery, and health outcomes for individual, families, and/or communities?

•   What are the values and the ethical positions that underpin your perspectives?

•   What are the criteria you will use to evaluate the success (outcomes) of your proposed policy change?

By using both a top-down and a bottom-up approach, you will analyze and bring the nursing perspective to policy makers and stakeholders. Identifying the values and ethical perspectives that underpin your position, you will develop criteria to evaluate the success of your work. This will lead to a created a policy brief that can be sent to decision makers and created a plan to work with an organization/community to promote policy change at the local level.

Theatre and Jerusalem

 

Theatre and Jerusalem

Please read the prompt below and read the article links as well. Also need to talk about comparable themes from plays such as “Between Riverside and Crazy”, “The Vibrator Pay”, and “The Goat, or Who is Sylvia”.

List some of the recurring motifs that we’ve seen in many of the plays this semester:

addiction
religion
social and economic challenges for unskilled workers (Britain’s specifically from 2009 on….) and the uneducated
Johnny as similar to the ‘grieving despot king’ of “Between Riverside…”

What else?

 

 

Consider Ayad Akhtar’s comment regarding the long rich art form that is English theatre? The more ‘ritualized space’ and the differences of performance style. How do you think the American reception of this play might differ from the British? Is it universal in its themes and content? What most grabbed you? What do you take away? Are we as American theatregoers “starved for a sense of the mythic”? As is stated in the review below?

Resource:

Read: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/theatre/theatre-reviews/8833062/Jerusalem-Apollo-Theatre-review.html

Excerpt:“We theatergoers too are starved for a sense of the mythic, for performances we can talk about with glassy-eyed rapture in the years to come. Mr. Butterworth, Mr. Rickson and Mr. Rylance have provided us with that opportunity. Except in this case the mythic is no mere myth.”

Read the playbill article:

https://www.playbill.com/article/a-guide-to-jerusalems-cultural-allusions-and-iconic-references-com-179183

Considering what the playwright says about all of the possible ‘meaning(s)’ and the fact that he didn’t intend them when writing. We are left with the rich, specific, gorgeous language and dimensional characters in a hyper realistic play rife with potential for theatricality! Describe a moment that stands out to you as potential for bold theatricality.

Example: the song – or distant drumming or voices – that frequently come from the fair(?) could also be in his mind/ears… expressionistic and theatrical as well as realistic.

Arrays and Lists

 

Using open source repositories, Find a program that
(A) uses at least one loop and a list effectively

or

B) could use a loop and a list to improve the program.

Summarizes your findings,the post should:

•Include a copy of the code that either (A) exemplifies concise, generalized code or (B) presents the perfect opportunity to apply loops, arrays, and

lists to reduce the length of the program using a more elegant solution.

Do not undertake a lengthy program; limit your code to approximately 20 lines.

•If the code is an exemplar of good coding, explain what leads you to that conclusion. Be specific.

•If the code needs improvement, include a rewritten version of the code, in which you apply one of the methods described above to improve the program.

Explain how your solution better embraces a computer’s strengths as a tool that can perform calculations quickly, perform repetitive tasks, and/or

manage data effectively.

•Add or revise comments in the code to accurately describe the function of the loop and list.

Do not include the entire source code of the program you choose. Select just the portion with the necessary information, such as variable declarations

and methods called from outside the class or method.
