Exploring inferential statistics and their discontents

  
Week 2 Assignment: Exploring Inferential Statistics and Their Discontents 
This is a two part assignment that will be submitted within one document.
Part IPart I checks your understanding of key concepts from Jackson and Trochim & Donnelly. 
Answer the following questions:

Jackson even-numbered Chapter exercises (pp. 220-221;      273-275)
What are degrees of freedom? How are the calculated?
What do inferential statistics allow you to infer?
What is the General Linear Model (GLM)? Why does it      matter?
Compare and contrast parametric and nonparametric      statistics. Why and in what types of cases would you use one over the      other?
Why is it important to pay attention to the assumptions      of the statistical test? What are your options if your dependent variable      scores are not normally distributed?

Part IIPart II introduces you to a debate in the field of education between those who support Null Hypothesis Significance Testing (NHST) and those who argue that NHST is poorly suited to most of the questions educators are interested in. Jackson (2012) and Trochim and Donnelly (2006) pretty much follow this model. Northcentral follows it. But, as the authors of the readings for Part II argue, using statistical analyses based on this model may yield very misleading results. You may or may not propose a study that uses alternative models of data analysis and presentation of findings (e.g., confidence intervals and effect sizes) or supplements NHST with another model. In any case, by learning about alternatives to NHST, you will better understand it and the culture of the field of education. 
Answer the following questions:

What does p = .05 mean? What are some misconceptions      about the meaning of p =.05? Why are they wrong? Should all research      adhere to the p = .05 standard for significance? Why or why not?
Compare and contrast the concepts of effect size and      statistical significance.
What is the difference between a statistically      significant result and a clinically or “real world” significant result?      Give examples of both.
What is NHST? Describe the assumptions of the model.
Describe and explain three criticisms of NHST.
Describe and explain two alternatives to NHST. What do      their proponents consider to be their advantages?
Which type of analysis would best answer the research      question you stated in Activity 1? Justify your answer.

Support your paper with a minimum of 5 resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 5-7 pages not including title and reference pagesReferences: Minimum of 5 scholarly resources. 

Decision-making framework research and reflection paper

Sanction Information:
Sanction: 105.11 Ethical Decision Making ReflectionDecision Making Framework Research and Reflection Paper
When you are involved in a policy violation that may have had a negative impact on the community, it can be helpful to reflect on the incident in an effort to better understand what happened and what you could do differently in the future. To that end, this sanction allows you to explore some frameworks for decision making and provides you with an opportunity to apply them to various situations.
-Visit https://www.scu.edu/ethics/ethics-resources/ethical-decision-making/a-framework-for-ethical-decision-making/ and read the Framework for Ethical Decision Making and identify the framework you like the most. -Then explore the Ethical Issues for Students, under Case Studies: https://www.scu.edu/character/resources/cases/. Choose one or more topic that interests you. Read at least four case studies and apply the framework you like the most as you think through the questions listed.-Finally, use the Making an Ethical Decision app (found here: https://legacy.scu.edu/ethics/ethical-decision/) to apply the ethical decision making framework to a decision you need to make now or anticipate making in the future.
After you have completed this exploration, reflect on the experience, and write a paper (typed, 12-pt Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, double spaced) that is at least five pages in length and that addresses the questions below.
-What topic(s) did you explore in the list of case studies?-Did any of the case studies relate to a current or recent situation? If so, how? What was it like to further explore this issue in a different light?-Which case study posed the toughest challenge? Why?-Which case study was the easiest for you? Why?-Which source of ethical standards most appeals to you? Why?-What, if anything, surprised you about the framework?-How can you apply the tools you’ve learned to your incident?-What did you learn about your own influences, values, and the impact of your decisions on yourself and others?-In what ways might you apply these tools to future decision-making?-How might applying these tools make you a better UCSC community member?
Please proofread your paper before submitting it to ensure that it is free of typos and utilizes proper spelling and grammar. Your paper must earn a theoretical grade of “B” or higher in order to be accepted. Please remember that plagiarism is not tolerated under any circumstance. Be sure to properly cite your sources. If your paper does not meet the criteria listed, it will be returned to you so that you can address the concerns and resubmit it. Your deadline may or not be extended during this time.

Reflect: The arrival of Europeans in the Americas brought about a series of consequences, both intended and unintended, that differed over time, place, and effects. Contact with the multitude of societies and cultures of the Americas took many forms, including, but not limited to, conflict, collaboration, alliance, aggression, accommodation, dominance, or negotiation—and in many cases, a combination of these strategies. In each instance, however, contact was conditioned by the cultural heritage of each group or individual, which affected the ways that each group perceived the other. This cultural heritage could include ideas and practices concerning political organization, social stratification, economic interaction, religion, or gender norms. The Atlantic World was thus intricately and intimately shaped by the complex patterns of interaction between its many peoples. Consult “Critical Thinking: A Guide to Skillful Reasoning (Links to an external site.)” as you formulate your response. Write: In an initial post of at least 250-300 words, explain how the Atlantic World was shaped by cross-cultural contacts that resulted in webs of interdependence. To develop your response, examine a specific example of cross-cultural contact in the Atlantic World. Cite specific examples from the required and recommended readings and consider the following points as you formulate your response:

Describe a specific type of contact that occurred between European, African, or indigenous American men and women.
What factors conditioned the types of relationships that existed between European, African, or indigenous American men and women?
How did gender norms, roles, or expectations shape relationships between different groups or individuals?
How or why did cultural identity shape interactions between different groups or individuals?
How would you assess the wider significance of cross-cultural contact in establishing patterns of interdependence in the Atlantic World?

Respond to Peers:Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7. In your responses of at least 150 words each, compare your perspectives with those of your colleagues. After considering your colleagues’ findings and reconsidering your own, what sources or ideas might provide more insight into this issue? What further questions should be asked? 

University of Phoenix ISO Certification and Improving Processes Discussion

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.  Due Thursday (TODAY) 6/272019Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Reply to at least 2 of your classmates. Be constructive and professional in your responses.BY: Ann-Marie JonesProfessor and Class, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) provides guidelines for businesses relating to quality management systems (QMS). The ISO 9001:2015 covers all industries irrespective of their sizes. It provides prerequisites for different aspects of the firms’ QMS which include the responsibilities of management; resource management; product design, production and delivery; documentation which incorporates control of documents and manuals; continuous improvements of the business quality management system; and audits and analysis that serves as a measurement guide for the firm.Companies who are certified will be able to enjoy myriad of benefits, such as, meeting customer requirements; increased revenue and business from new clients; improve product quality; increase in customer satisfaction as it relates to products. Besides, the firm will develop a professional culture, and employee morale is likely to increase. The drawback is that an entity may choose to be certified just because it is a stipulation from their customers whose requirement is to only do business with vendors that are ISO 900 compliant. As a result, the firm may ignore the long-term benefits and may not embrace the concept of quality management through continuous improvement. —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–Adam Gonzales ISO certifications are not required by law for all companies to compete in modern markets. However, being certified show consumers that the company holds themselves to quality standards for the products they manufacture or services that they provide. I think that any organization needs to look at what being ISO certified means to them overall. For instance, are competitors ISO certified? Is it a long-term goal of the company to widen the products offered? What does ISO mean for material procurement? The certification process can become costly, variables depending on the type certification needed and the number of company employees needing training/testing.Apple Inc. is an ISO 14001 certified company. ISO 14001 is an environmental management system that helps an organization to minimize negative effects on their surrounding environment. Just a few examples of how Apple uses this certification to their advantage are recycling of materials from outdated models to new ones, energy efficient facilities, biodegradable packing materials and minimizing carbon emissions. Apple also uses 3rd party companies to collect their own data, to ensure that their own numbers are correct.Omnex Systems(2019). Retrieved from Apple (2019). Retrieved from

Bus 680 week 4 discussion 1

 
   Types of Trainees    
A successful trainer needs to effectively engage various types of  trainees and adapt quickly in the learning environment to meet their  needs. Chapter 8 of the Blanchard and Thacker (2013) text lists and  offers tips on dealing with different participant personalities. Review  the three scenarios below. Discuss how you would effectively engage and  manage each group of participants in a 2-day training seminar. Apply two  to three specific adult learning principles and/or techniques to each  of the scenarios listed below.
Scenario A Your colleague is a training specialist who has just  concluded an activity on techniques for overcoming challenges in the  classroom. He clearly understood the content, but did not ask questions  of the group to confirm their understanding. In addition, when  explaining activities, the directions were not clear and there was never  an opportunity to ask for clarification. What constructive feedback  would you give to your colleague?
Scenario BYour colleague is a department manager who has just  opened a training session. Her opening included group introductions, but  she went directly into presenting content. About an hour later, a few  participants began talking out of turn. What feedback would you give to  your colleague on the impact this may have had on participants, and what  could have been done differently to avoid this situation?
Scenario CYour colleague is a human resources manager who just  completed an activity followed by a group discussion. The activity went  well, but the debrief did not. As the facilitator, he had trouble  getting the group to answer his questions. The group did not appear to  be very engaged. What feedback could you give him on how he could get  participants to participate?
Your initial post should be 250 to 300 words. Use this week’s lecture  as a foundation for your initial post. In addition to the Blanchard and  Thacker (2013) text, use at least one additional scholarly source to  support your discussion.
Respond to at least two other posts regarding items you found to be  compelling and enlightening. To help you with your reply, please  consider the following questions:

What did you learn from the posting?
What additional questions do you have after reading the posting?
What clarification do you need regarding the posting?
What differences or similarities do you see between your initial discussion thread and your classmates’ postings?
What are the differences or similarities in the techniques  recommended in your discussion compared to those identified by others?
Analyze the recommendations made by others for each scenario. Do you  agree or disagree with the recommendations? Why or why not? Provide  examples where possible. 

Your reply posts should be a minimum of 150-250 words each. 

$20.00 due in 10 hours week 6 assignment 3: human computer interface

  
Assignment 3: Human Computer Interface (HCI)
Assignment 3: Human Computer Interface (HCI)
Due in Week 6  and worth 130 points
Everything we touch that is electronic has a Human to Computer Interface (HCI). Some companies put a lot of effort into the user experience; some, not so much. Some are very complex with enormous functionality (computer operating systems and smartphones) and some are much simpler (ATMs, gas station pumps, lottery ticket machines, movie dispensing machines).
For this assignment, choose either a simple interface (one with a few options) or a singular function of a more complex item (like a singular function of your smartphone, such as to create and send an email). Remember that there are several options for many of these. Visit the interface that you chose.
NOTE: Keep your selection to something simple, as you will find there are many options even in a simple task.
Write a paper in which you address the following:
1. Research history and background of the HCI (just a few of paragraphs).
2. From your chosen HCI, describe all the steps and options that are available to use and complete the task. 
3. Build an Activity Diagram such as those on pages 138 Figure 5-5 and 139 Figure 5-6 of the textbook. Use Visio, MS Word or your choice of program that can create an activity diagram. YOU NEED TO CREATE THE DIAGRAM, NOT TAKE ONE FROM THE INTERNET.
4. Reflect on the experience. Do you feel the process you chose was well designed? Do you think it can be improved?
5. Use at least 2 quality resources. NOTE: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources. 
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
· Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
· Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
· Include charts or diagrams created in Visio, Word, or an open source alternative to create the diagram. The completed diagrams/charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.

Hpr 232 community health promotion methods wk5-d1

 Advocacy and Policy  
    
Advocacy and policy are both elements that must be integrated into  effective health education. Your post will consist of the following two  parts:
Part I:

Examine the differences between advocacy and lobbying.
Explain why health educators focus on advocacy rather than lobbying

Post Part I in the discussion forum’s text box and attach your document from Part II.
Part II:

Select a public health concern from this list which you desire to research and address:

Ban texting while driving.
Ban the sale of cigarettes.
Stop synthetic drug creation and abuse (prescription or nonprescription).
Improve public health’s reach regarding mental health options.
Place tighter restrictions on who can purchase a firearm.

Using the following scenario, advocate for one of these issues for a nationwide law. 

Scenario: You are working for your  state’s health department and are advocating for a nationwide law to  accomplish the goal you selected from above list. As part of your  campaign, you must write a letter to one of your federal legislators.  For Part II of this discussion, you will be drafting that letter. You  are limited to no more than two pages of single-spaced type (12 point  font), so your letter must be succinct and follow the protocols outlined  in your reading for this week. Refer to the Sample Letters to Legislators for additional information on how to format, address, and compose a letter of this nature.

Do the following: 

Research and identify one federal legislator from your state who you  feel should have an interest in your chosen issue. Every state has its  own federal legislators in both the House of Representatives and the  Senate. Therefore, the individuals to choose from will be different for  each state. Make sure the address line and your salutation properly  addresses your selected individual.
Compose your letter and state your case in favor of a nationwide law  to address your chosen health issue. Formal letters such as these  generally do not include APA-cited references, so you do not have to  include in-text citations within your letter. However, you must clearly  reference major statistics and other documents within your letter as  your chosen legislator will want to know which law or issue you are  addressing. For example, “The Institutes of Medicine found that…” or  “According to the National Transportation Safety Board…”
Save your letter as a PDF (.pdf) file so that all of your classmates  may view it regardless of what computer system they are using. Please  be considerate of those who do not have Microsoft and cannot open .doc  or .docx files.

Your entire post will consist of

Part I: typed into the text box of the discussion forum.
Part II: attached as a formal letter to your discussion post.

Journal: tragedy and history | Literature homework help

 
Directions
In this journal entry, you will explore the historical context for John Millington Synge’s Riders to the Sea. In his 1911 introduction to the play, an American writer named Edward J. O’Brien suggests that Maurya’s suffering is a virtue: “It is their virtue in life to be lonely, and none but the lonely man in tragedy may be great. He dies, and then it is the virtue in life of the women, mothers and wives and sisters to be great in their loneliness, great as Maurya, the stricken mother, is great in her final word.” Using the idea of tragedy to describe actual suffering sometimes suggests that there is something noble and mysterious about the difficulties people face. The word tragedy may even suggest that some larger or uncontrollable force, much like the sea, may be the ultimate source of the suffering.
However, historical studies of Ireland in the mid to late 19th century reveal that many Irish people were driven from their farmlands to the less fertile lands along the coast after the Great Famine (1845 – 1852). Fishing was not a primary occupation for most of the people displaced to the coast, and in contrast to farming, it proved be a much more dangerous way of acquiring food and money. Synge’s family, however, belonged to the wealthier, landowning class in Ireland. The very same class of people who were largely responsible for the evictions that took place during the Great Famine. Begin your research by reading a short entry on Riders to the Sea in The Encyclopedia of Americana from 1920. Next, your Module 4 Readings document includes a few pages of Richard Barry O’Brien’s account of the evictions in his book, Fifty Years of Concessions to Ireland (1883). Compare his account to a report given by the Liberal Union of Ireland in The Plan of Campaign(1892) on pages 36 – 37. This reading is also included in the Module 4 Readings.
Finally, on your own, find three sources of information about the Great Famine or the Irish Potato Famine, as it is commonly referred to in America. These sources can include other artistic works such as songs, paintings, or documentary films. Explain how this historical context helps to provide a better understanding of Synge’s play. Do you think Synge’s play sheds more light on the socio-economic factors surrounding the difficult lives of the people of Aran, or does the playwright tend to romanticize or idealize their suffering?
Include hyperlinks to relevant texts, videos, or images in addition to your written text. Also consider embedding images or videos in your entry to make it more interactive.
