AHRQ Funding

Since your Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Capstone Scholarly Project is on “Integrative Literature Review: Osteoporosis and Postmenopausal African American women”
1. Identify a potential source of funding you might want to explore and provide a copy of the request for proposals or applications.
*Note from my Instructor – See below…
AHRQ is funding some types of systematic reviews so maybe when you get really good and get published they may have funds available to help you do a systematic review. Snoop around their website for some money. It always looks good on your CV or resume to have some sort of funding so look even if you don’t think it is right just now. Then write approximately a page about AHRQ funding. This way when you have a practice problem and you don’t have the resources you need you don’t give up some time in the future. You will say to yourself that those funds out there might allow you to make a real difference.

1Patient suffer from ATHEROSCLEROSIS 2. Operation (surgery)performed FEMORO-POPLITEAL BY-PASS
Observing strict confidentiality, identify a patient with a pathology that has resulted in them undergoing surgical procedure. Outline the background of the patient, the nature of their illness and provide a very brief description of the operative procedure. Discuss your patients pathology and its physiological effects. Then in CHRONOLOGICAL Oder from per-op, list the drugs administered to the patients and very briefly their purpose. Choose one of the drugs being given to your patients and explain its pharmacological and physiological action and how it may cause side effects *. Identify, summarise and critically discuss a clinical trial*** that justifies the use of this drug

***submit A COPY OF CLINICAL TRIAL. With your assignment***
Guidance
The mechanism of action of some drugs is uncertain. If you decide to choose of these drugs be aware that this may make it quite difficult to answer certain parts of the assignment (i.e how the drug works and how it may cause side effects) sometimes there are various theories relating to how the drug works and you could compare and contrast these theories.
You are strongly advised to perform a literature search for suitable clinical trials before committing yourself to a particular drug. (Articles n journals)
You are required to clinically discuss a clinical trial. This is to say, a study that used real patients to evaluate the effectiveness of the drug in a real clinical setting. Do not try to discuss a meta- analysis or systematic review etc.
This is a case history and so the assignment should follow your patients form the pre-op to the recovery. You may find diagrams help explain the physiological action of the drug you have chosen. Diagrams from external source should be referrenced

The resounding theme in this article is the uncertainty of the political outlook of Israel. The author attributes this to the dependence of the prime minister’s coalition on the support of many small parties having different and conflicting agendas. The article highlights the growth of Israel’s Real GDP 4.7% to 6.8% in 2010 and 2011 respectively and how the growth momentum could be hindered by the challenging political circumstances due to the nature of politics in Israel. This article is helpful to my research because it penetrates into Israel politics, highlighting fragmentation of coalition into parties and how this affects governmental control.

This article outlines the lessons to be learned from Israel’s business community experience in 2000-2004. The author acknowledges the fact that high performance calls for high morale. He emphasizes that internal business environment should be more conducive for employees than the external environment for them to exhibit high performance, and this can be attained through solicitous leadership. This article contains vital information on the leadership lessons learned from Israel’s experience that can add value to my research.

The author gives a complication of reactions from Israel leaders towards recent allegations that Palestine is economically independent of Israel. The leaders highlight that it is unavoidable for Palestinians to work with Israelis given that Palestinians import Israeli goods of about $3 billion and exports goods to Israel of about $400 million annually. The IPCC has been working hard to create opportunities for increased cooperation between Palestinian and Israeli business people, and therefore, the Israeli leaders believe these claims of economic independency has originated from Palestinian political aspirants. This article has revealed the state of interdependence between Palestine and Israel, and hence is useful in my research.

This journal article examines the events behind the rapid changes in Israel’s economy beginning with the mid-1990s initiatives and reforms. It emphasizes the fact that the country has had a combination of stable economic infrastructure and indicators of high economic growth, which is an unusual occurrence. The author realizes that Israel has promoted industrial developments while, on the other hand, has done very little to promote small businesses. This is a vital resource for my research because it studies the economy of Israel over the last few decades.

The author brings into focus the business rankings model in which Israel is ranked higher (22nd position) in the 2008-2012 Economist Intelligence Unit survey compared to the 2003-2007 survey (25th position). The model examined ten different criterion including the macroeconomic environment, the political environment, policy on completion and free enterprise, market opportunities, policy on foreign investment, financing, foreign exchange and trade controls, taxes, infrastructure and labor market. Israel was top in the Middle East in its potential to offer best business climate, and this was mainly attributed to the structural reforms in the country. This article will be helpful in this research as it compares Israel’s business market with international markets.

The article discusses the circumstances behind the low investment in Israel despite the presence of adequate deal flow, rich technology, and favorable business climate. The author highlights shortage of funds as one of the reasons for low investment. She adds that the political instability in the region has also led to reluctance by foreign investors to show commitment to Israel funds. Thus, this resource will provide information on the factors hindering Israel from attaining its full economic potential.

The Internet as social media: connectivity and immediacy (module 3, case)

Up to now our approach has been pretty conventional. We’ve offered some slightly provocative comments about how the Internet may be stirring the pot in some unusual ways, but mostly we’ve been looking at tools and the uses to which they are put in organizations — that is, as pretty much doing business as usual, both in terms of the course and the subject matter. But now, it’s time to come face-to-face with the actual information revolution — the things going on in the current information environment and society that just might result in something brand-new rather than just more of the same games played with fancier and more expensive toys. In this module, we begin to consider the Internet — the network of networks — as a social medium — a really new way of enabling human interaction in ways and on levels distinctly different from how we’ve done things up to now.

Think back if you will to Module 1 and Amy Blair’s review of information overload through the centuries. Clearly, human beings have coped with a lot of changes in information exchange and processing. But consider this also: was there any point in this long catalog up to now where our tools allowed one person to essentially destroy a highly regarded multibillion-dollar corporation in barely an afternoon of ill-advised commodity trading (remember Barings Bank)? Speed of information exchange, and perhaps even more important, speed of information regarding the consequences of those exchanges, has changed the game completely. The Treaty of Paris of 1814 that ended the US/UK War of 1812 contained an interesting provision regarding the end of the war — namely, that it would end at different times in different parts of the world — the next day in Paris, but not until some nine months later out in the Pacific Ocean. In fact, the most decisive battle of the war, in which the British failed to capture New Orleans from the Americans, took place well after the signature of the treaty of peace (although before the official end of the war in Louisiana, as set by the treaty). That was pretty much the way things worked up until rather late in the 20th century.

The Internet is, as we said, a game changer. Call of Duty 2: Black Ops isn’t just marbles or jump-rope played with a joystick; it’s an entirely different phenomenon. Likewise, the change to doing business in the Internet world — which is, let’s remember, barely over 15 years old — is analogous to moving from playing lawn bowls to playing neo-basketball within about 5 minutes — complicated by the fact that nobody’s bothered to explain the rules of neo-basketball to you, at least in part because they haven’t been made up yet. The Internet enables varieties of human behavior to move from unthinkable to common to boring to forgotten almost in hours, rather than the decades or centuries in which we used to measure social change. Moreover, and even more troubling to many people, these changes can take place not just quickly but often largely or entirely outside the realm of social control. Never underestimate the human capacity to stomp down on other people — we may yet succeed in returning this wild beast of an Internet to a nice safe cage presided over by tired old people — but at least for the time being, we live in an age of unprecedented freedom, both to succeed and to fail — or at least to make a horrendous fool of yourself in front of millions, alleviated only by the fact that nobody’s going to remember it for very long.

"Web 1.0" ruled until about 2000, emphasizing getting information out there. With the transition to "Web 2,0" came interactivity, and emphasis on transactions. "Web 3.0" seems to be approaching at breaknexk speed, although at the moment no one can agree of just what it’s supposed to be doing that’s new. But it’s going to happen. The open questions are who’s going to make it happen, and above all, who’s going to organize itr, control it, and profit from it. It could continue to be the techies and entrepreneurs — or it could just as easily be the big media conglomerates and the telecommunications monopolies. Several very different futures are at the moment equally possible.

Wherever there are wild beasts, there’s never been a shortage of people who believe that they can ride them and thus gain an advantage over other folks. The Internet is, of course, no exception. Some people are riding it all the way to Billionaire’s Row; some people are leaving their innards on the track. Social revolutions pretty much distribute costs and benefits randomly, at least in the early stages, and neither technical brilliance nor organizational skill nor even social position ensure that you can stay on the back of the beast long enough to benefit from it. The one thing that is clear is that if you’re not planning to try to ride the beast, you’d probably better get out of the ring, because it’s certainly going to try to ride all over you if you don’t. If you’re getting a little tired of all these beastly metaphors, I’ll spare you more of them — by now you’ve certainly gotten the point that what the Internet has done to individuals, to business, and to society in terms of connectivity, immediacy, and feedback is both something really new and something that we really don’t understand either what is or where it’s going.

In this module, we’ll look at how some new social media enabled by the Internet have radically altered the business world, at least some pieces of it, and think about how to get ready for the next rounds. The one thing that is clear asbout the evolution of the Internet is that barring the Immanentizing of the Eschaton, we will continue to see ever-newer and less predictable features and capabilities opened up by and within it. As Bette Davis warned us in the classic film All About Eve, "Fasten your seatbelts; it’s going to be a bumpy night!"

Design Brif

a 500 – 700 (plus references) word written Design Brief with supporting visual material.

Brief:
You are required to redesign an existing product. Your choice of product should be from a consumer product category

Define the opportunity using the following steps:

1. Rationale: Background to the choice of product & client company
2. Market research
3. Problems identified: product & user advantages & disadvantages
4. Objectives and Deliverables of your project

Three questions for nursing/math, each needs a peer reviewed journal reference with in text citing including the references listed for question one below. The word count is question #1 – 300, #2 – 150, #3 – #150.

#1. Review Paravic-Klijn, T., Mu?oz-Mu?oz, A., Barriga, O., & Jimez-Contreras?, E. (2009); and Lasater, K, & Nielson, A. (2009) and answer the following questions:
o What levels of research evidence are presented in each article?
o Does the research evidence support the author?s conclusions?
o Do both articles use research evidence effectively?

Incorporate the Melnyk Pyramid developed by Melnyk and Overholt. It can be retrieved from http://guides.lib.umich.edu/content.php?pid=25673&sid=1946060

One of the learning points is that research provides different levels of evidence; if we can evaluate the research study and assign a level of evidence, we understand whether or not we have sufficient evidence to change practice.

#2. Translating real-life problems into algebraic expressions can be a difficult task for some people. Why do you feel this is true, even if it is not difficult for you? What are some of the roadblocks that people have that probably make it more difficult? What are some techniques that you have learned from the text that would help people become stronger at translating in algebra?

#3. Compare and contrast simple interest and compound interest. Give an example of when a simple interest loan is used and when a compound interest loan is used.

sota Report

SOTA Report
Each student will prepare and submit an individual state-of-the-art (SOTA) report as described below.
Purpose of the SOTA Report
The purpose of the SOTA research is to gather the necessary background information to tackle your project effectively. Engineering design is not a purely creative exercise, but is built on what has been done before. When beginning a design project, it is important to gather information and conduct research to find answers to questions like:
• Has anybody solved this problem before? If so, how did they do it? How well did it work? Can we improve on their solution?
• Has anybody solved a similar problem in a completely different domain? Maybe the solution can be found in nature. The idea for Velcro came from the way burrs stick to a dog’s fur.
• Are there some new or emerging technologies that can be applied to the problem? Maybe these technologies make some old ideas feasible.
• What are the key analytical and/or experimental methods and techniques you will need to successfully solve the problem?
Sometimes emerging technologies are solutions looking for problems. The Goretex company developed a way to coat wire with Teflon. The application they had in mind didn’t work out, but they discovered that these wires made excellent guitar strings.
Specific Requirements
Your SOTA report shall be prepared using a font size of 11 points and 1.5 lines spacing and must be less than 2000 words plus figures. It should follow the sections listed in Appendix B. You must include a reference list in APA style. This list should contain at least 10 references to scholarly, reliable sources such as journal articles, books, trade publications, standards, patents, and government websites. In your reference list, also include any other sources you consult (for example, supplier websites, news media). The report must contain the following:
1. Search Log and References
Search Log: In your lab book, keep track of the process you follow to find information for your SOTA report. Show evidence of brainstorming for keywords (diagram or list). You are expected to search in the library catalogue and article databases (such as EI Compendex and Scopus), and you may also use online search engines (such as Google or Google Scholar).
For each place you look (catalogue, database, search engine), your search log should include:
• the date you did your research • where you searched, and your rationale for that choice • what search terms you used, and how you combined them • how you modified your search as you proceeded Also make note of points such as: useful subject headings, searches that were particularly
helpful (or useless), problems you ran into and how you addressed those.ES 1050 DESIGN PROJECT III 4

Survey and assessment of current technology and existing solutions.
give a technical description of relevant engineering and scientific principles benchmark the best products/technologies/solutions identify any design failures and lessons to be learned examine the design features and tradeoffs of the best-in-class designs identify technological factors limiting performance. For example, in digital photography, larger image sensors are more expensive but give better images. The technological challenge is to reduce the cost of large sensors and/or improve the performance of small ones.
Survey and assessment of relevant emerging technology.
What new technologies are fundamentally reshaping the market? An example would be digital technology and photography. What new technologies have potential to radically reshape the market in the next few years? Examples include optical computing, DNA computing, nanotechnology, etc.
Assessment criteria may include the following:
• Performance in satisfying requirements. • Human factors and ease of use. • Technological tradeoffs and limitations. • Technological readiness. Is the new technology sufficiently developed to be
practical? Where are we on the S-curve? • Potential benefits. How much better is the new technology compared to the best
existing technology? • Cost.
• Environmental friendliness.
The topic of your SOTA report should relate to what your team is doing for Project III. The SOTA reports can be used to help determine the specific barrier that your group will move forward with, or they can be used to provide background information on a particular barrier (and potential solutions) once it has been chosen. Each group member should work independently on their SOTA report, ideally on a topic different from the other group members.
The report must be submitted both as a paper copy and as an electronic copy through Turnitin.com on Owl. All papers will be subject to submission for textual similarity review to the commercial plagiarism detection software under license to the University for the detection of plagiarism. All papers submitted will be included as source documents in the reference database for the purpose of detecting plagiarism of papers subsequently submitted to the system.
