Comparing Healthcare PerformanceThere are frequent articles blaring how poor the U.S. healthcare system is compared to other developed countries.
Define How the U.S. health-care system works and how its failures are worsening the pandemic Not in Healthcare.
Not Even Close.Despite cutting-edge technology and government overspending, the U.S. approach to healthcare falls short when compared with other countries.
How the U.S. health-care system works and how its failures are worsening the pandemic
And on and on. But how helpful is this? Or does the constant bombardment about the deficiencies in healthcare simply create an atmosphere of distrust and hopelessness? Perhaps even more important these articles do not contain rigorous research that supports actions. Be sure to look for assertions backed by rigorous research as the article below is.Mirror, Mirror 2021: Reflecting Poorly
Measured five performance domains:

Access to care

Can you tell the difference between various soft drinks without using your sense of smell, covering your nose while drinking?

Project
Think of a Question
: Can you tell the difference between various soft drinks without using your sense of smell, covering your nose while drinking?

1- State Your Hypothesis
Based on your research, decide what you think the outcome of the project will be and make a good guess as to what you think the answer to your question will be.
Also explain WHY you think that will be the outcome. Remember, it is ok if you don’t have the right answer; that is how scientists make discoveries. Make sure that your hypothesis is written in a complete sentence.
Start by listing some possible outcomes or answers to your question.
2- Decide which outcome is most likely. This will be your hypothesis. Clearly write your hypothesis in complete sentences.
3- Design Your Experiment
clearly write out the procedure you are going to follow. Remember that your experiment needs to follow the scientific process and that you need to have one variable that you are going to change (independent variable). There are three variables in a scientific experiment: independent, dependent, and controlled.
The independent variable is the one, and only one, variable you will change.
The dependent variables are those being observed and measured throughout the experiment.
The controlled variables are those that remain constant and allows you, the scientist, to understand how the experiment would react under normal circumstances
Independent variable:
Dependent variables:
Controlled variables:
4- Materials
List all materials needed to complete the experiment. Be specific about type, size, brand etc
5- Procedure
Write out each step of your experiment. Remember to number each step and clearly explain what to do. Other scientists should be able to follow the same steps and get similar results.
6- Scientists conduct an experiment many times in order to get the most accurate dais, so make sure you also conduct your experiment multiple times. During your experiment you need to collect data and make observations. You will record these in your Experiment Log. After you have completed the experiment use your log to write down the data and observations below. In your log you will need to:
Collect Data – you will need to collect numerical data; that means you need to take measurements during the experiment. Measurements can be temperature, distance, height, etc. Creating a chart is a helpful way to organize your data. You will analyze the data later to determine the results of your experiment.
Make Observations – as you conduct your experiment you will use your senses (sight, smell, touch, etc.) and write down any observations you make during the process.
Observations:
7- Data
8- Determine the Results
Now it is time to review your data and observations to find out what happened during the experiment. Think about the best way to show your data: bar graph, line graph, chart, etc, and then create a table or a graph below. This visual wit help you analyze your data for trends.
Results
Use this space, or a separate sheet in your notebook, to sketch 1 or more tables, charts, or graphs to analyze your data.
9- Determine the Results
You will also write out the results of each test in the experiment in paragraph form using complete sentences. Make sure that you include the numerical data (measurements) as well as any other important observations that you made.
10- Conclusions
Analyze the results and determine how the results helps you answer your project Question. Write your answer in a complete sentence using the question to begin your answer. You also need to tell whether your hypothesis was supported or if the results contradict the hypothesis. If it was not supported, explain why you think so. End this paragraph by saying how you would change or improve your experiment in the future.
Answer to your project question: _
Did the results support or contradict the hypothesis? Explain.
How would you improve or change the experiment?
11- Display board
Now that you have completed your experiment you will begin setting up your display board to communicate the results of your experiment to others.
Remember, the board is graded on the information you present, not how colorful or pretty it looks. Your display board must have All of the following components located in the same places.
Other board guidelines:
??Font should be easy to read and at least a size of 16pt or greater.
?Photos should not include faces of students.
?Information on the board can be typed or written neatly by hand.

12- The abstract is a short version of your science fair final report. It should be no more than 250 words. Most of the information you will put in your abstract is already written, you will just need to copy it over. You must have the following
five components in your abstract:
Introduction
Project Question
Procedures
Results
Conclusions
The only new thing you will need to write is the Introduction. This is where you describe the purpose for doing this experiment or project. Tell why people should care about the work you did. How does your experiment give us new science information? Can this information be used to improve our lives? If so, how? This is where you want to interest the reader in your project and motivate them to read the rest of it.

Create a Blog Post About How to Ethically Review and Write About Academic Literature

CreateaBlogPostAboutHowtoEthicallyReviewandWriteAboutAcademicLiteratureandAvoidPlagiarism.docx

The concepts and practices associated with academic research and writing with integrity are intricate, interwoven, and essential parts of completing advanced graduate studies, be it an EdS, or a terminal degree such as an EdD, or PhD. While we do offer software such as Grammarly and Turnitin that will help you catch errors in your work, its important to understand how to avoid issues such as plagiarism, to begin with, and how to hone your skills in conducting academic research. Do one of the following:

Conducting Academic Research

One of the most challenging parts of scholarship is the actual process of finding, reading, and synthesizing literature. Thankfully, we have the support to help! Our library offers 1:1 appointments and consultations about research, how to get started, understanding research software and more. Further, we aim to support students in their literature searches through support areas including how to search for literature, evaluating research, finding similar resources, and more! Please check out the links in the LibGuide to navigate!
While there is no one right way to conduct academic research, our librarians can help you navigate what can be a tricky process.

Complete plagiarism-the intentional use of anothers complete material claimed as your own.

Direct plagiarism-word for word copy/paste of anothers materials. Direct differs from complete in how much of the work is plagiarized.

Paraphrasing plagiarism-Making only minor changes to anothers materials and not including citation.

Self-Plagiarism-Reusing your own work without attribution. Keep this in mind as you move from class to class, you cannot simply re-use parts of your work. However, you can and will reuse parts of your dissertation, when you are drafting it. Youll work through those processes at that time.

Patchwork Plagiarism-Also known as mosaic plagiarism: Using part of anothers work woven into your own work, without attribution.

Source-based plagiarism-Sometimes known as attribution plagiarism: Use of others work (and with attribution), but in a way that is misleading or inaccurate.

Accidental plagiarism-Unintentional lack of acknowledgement to others.

Remember, plagiarism is not just about text, but about graphics as well, so you must not only accurately source your materials, but honestly and ethically represent them as well.

Academic Integrity Violations

An academic integrity violation (AIV) is what we use as a warning to students that they have committed a form (intentional or unintentional) of plagiarism. Often, these violations come from high scores on a Turnitin report, but that is not the only way a faculty member may become aware of an integrity violation.
One of the best ways to avoid an AIV is to learn the rules of the road about plagiarism, in all its forms, and how you can avoid it. An AIV is not an automatic dismissal from your course or program, but rather a learning moment for you. The severity of the AIV will dictate the next course of action

Understanding University Expectations

Once you have an idea of what you need to do to ensure your academic success and write in a scholarly voice, it is important to understand your universitys expectations. To understand our expectations, take a look at Great Starts Unit Four: Expectations to understand the culture of the university, review policies and procedures, and get some tips on engaging with faculty and your course. Now that you have had a general overview of Academic integrity, you will explore specifically how our resources can help you to write and cite with confidence and integrity. When you are finished with Unit Four, complete the checklist and quiz and take stock of your experience with this unit. You will utilize your knowledge of academic resources, plagiarism, and academic integrity to complete this weeks blog post.

Instructions

For this 10-point assignment, use what you learned in this lesson and in Great Starts Unit 4: Expectations (
the information above will help you) to create a blog post that focuses on how to ethically conduct and write about academic literature and avoid plagiarism.
This blog should include up to 1,000 words.
I will create the blog, you just provide text about how to ethically conduct and write about academic literature and avoid plagiarism.

There are many ways offenders can use social media from evading capture to committing crimes. Discuss how the social media use can affect the community.

Social Media in Criminal Justice
There are many ways offenders can use social media from evading capture to committing crimes. Discuss how the social media use can affect the community. The use of social media is prolific in our communities and has led to turmoil in my home city of Philadelphia. Below Ill post a link for further detail into the subject. However, here is aa brief synopsis, in Philadelphia there has been rampant looting events citywide were individuals on social media organized large groups of individuals to create a large mob of people to steal from stores in order to fill the fallacy they cant catch us all. Social media can also be used by smart offenders to gather intelligence on potential victims or police activity to avoid capture or find their next victim.
On the plus side there are many ways criminal justice professionals use social media to combat the above statements or to interact with their community. Departments can use social media as an outreach to the community to stay connected with them, promote their events, and to highlight important information. These same departments also use social media as an intelligence gathering tool to predict mass looting events like the one, I previously talked about or to find wanted individuals among many other activities.
The importance of these organizations to be on social media in this day in age is invaluable. Without using these tools criminal justice professionals would not be effective in communicating with newer generations. This lack of communication could lead to a breakdown in community relations as well as hurt their recruiting numbers. Another importance is the intelligence gathering side of social media where departments can employ different methods to obtain the goal of predictive policing or to simply find an individual. For example, the Philadelphia police department recently identified an individual who threatened a mother and child with a gun after breaking the rear window of their car.

Eplain the Components to Determine if IRB Submission is Needed.

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) exists to ensure the ethical treatment and rights of human participants in research studies. Its goal is to safeguard human subjects’ rights, welfare, and well-being, balancing the pursuit of knowledge with the dignity and autonomy of individuals involved in the research.
Explain the Components to Determine if IRB Submission is Needed:
1. Human Participants: If your research involves human subjects in any capacity, be it through interviews, surveys, or direct interventions, IRB oversight is generally necessary.
2. Data Privacy: If personally identifiable information is collected where participants can be identified directly or through identifiers linked to them, an IRB review becomes necessary.
3. Physical Procedures: Involvement in procedures like medical examinations, sample collection, or drug administration typically requires IRB oversight.
4. Psychological Stress or Harm: Studies that might introduce emotional, psychological, or social stress to participants often need IRB approval.
5. Vulnerable Populations: Projects involving children, prisoners, pregnant women, or other vulnerable groups usually undergo stricter scrutiny and demand IRB review.
6. Risk and Benefits Assessment
: Any research that poses more than minimal risk to participantsi.e., beyond the risks of daily lifewill typically need a review.

Example from Literature Review:

In the article by Cima et al. (2011) titled “Use of Lean and Six Sigma Methodology to improve operating room efficiency,” the researchers conducted direct observations in the operating room. They interacted with the healthcare staff to assess and improve efficiency.

Reason for IRB Approval:

1.
Human Participants: The study involved human subjects as they directly observed the activities and procedures conducted by the operating room staff. This observation could have influenced the behavior of the staff, introducing a form of intervention.

2.
Data Privacy: Observations made in the operating room could have collected information that could lead back to specific patients or healthcare providers if not correctly made anonymously.

3.
Physical and Psychological Stress: Any change or observation in a high-stress environment, like an operating room, can introduce potential risks or alter routines, leading to psychological or emotional stress for the staff involved.

Given the above factors, IRB approval was essential to ensure the ethical conduct of the study, protect the privacy of the staff and patients, and ensure the validity of the data collected.

Because of the unethical treatment of human subjects in the past such as unethical Nazi research and the Tuskeegee Airmen, much has been done to ensure the protection of subjects involved in research (Barrow, et al, 2022). There are multiple aspects to look at when determining if a study should go before a review board. Things to consider are: data obtained that is identifiable or private, is the data obtained as part of a classroom exercise or to be used outside of the class, the data is derived from living individuals, and will the data contribute to the body of knowledge publicly.
One article that I used was Cernelic-Bizjak et al, (2022) who was studying the effect of the Pandemic and Nursing Education outcomes. This study was a primary study who surveyed the data from thousands of nursing students across multiple schools in an effort to obtain data. IRB approval was submitted due to the inclusion of a large quantity of individuals that was not limited to a single classroom or program. Information that was sought after was not publicly available and was to be obtained by interacting with thousands of subjects. Also, the data derived from the study was to be used for the benefit outside of a single organization and for the greater knowledge.

Section #4 -? Conclusion. Address the “So What?” of this research. Why should your audience want to read it? Why does it matter?
