Reflect on how your assumptions about the acquisition of truth and the nature of the world influence your approach to the research process.
Discussion: Philosophy of Science
Reflect on how your assumptions about the acquisition of truth and the nature of the world influence your approach to the research process. Identify an area of interest for a possible research topic. As you read about the different philosophical orientations in this week’s readings, consider if one of these orientations most closely aligns with your worldview and a particular approach to research. Post a brief description of your topic of research interest. Next, state the philosophical orientation that reflects your worldview and explain the epistemological and ontological assumptions of this orientation. Then, explain how these assumptions lend themselves to one or more research approaches.Be sure to support your Main Issue Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.

Define the price elasticity of demand?
Elasticity and Its Application Over the last year your boss has noticed that it would be useful for your firm to understand how consumers behave when variables in the market change and how these changes affect the total revenue for your product. You have been asked to do an analysis for your product, Good A, by addressing the following questions and reporting the results to your boss in a formal paper. Questions: Define the price elasticity of demand? What information does it provide? How is it calculated? Define the income elasticity of demand? What information does it provide? How is it calculated? Define the cross-price elasticity of demand? What information does it provide? How is it calculated? What is total revenue? How is it calculated? Define elastic, inelastic, and unitary elasticity means. How are these related to total revenue? Explain your answers. With respect to the price elasticity of demand, construct a graph using the data in Figure1. Illustrate the ranges on the demand curve that indicate elastic, inelastic, and unitary elasticity. Explain your answers. Enter non-numerical responses in the same worksheet using textboxes. Calculate the total revenue for each level of demand and post into the table, Figure 1. (Copy and paste this table into the Microsoft Word document that will form part of your submission.) Using the midpoints formula presented in the textbook, calculate the price elasticity coefficient for each price level, starting with the coefficient for the $4 to $6 level. For each coefficient, indicate each type of elasticity: elastic demand, inelastic demand, or unitary demand. Post your answers into the table, Figure 1. Assume that the income of consumers changes by 10%, and as a result the quantity demanded for Good A changes by 8%. What is the income elasticity of demand for Good A? What does this mean for your company? Assume that the price of competing Good B decreases by 5% and as a result, the quantity demand for Good A decreases by 8%. What is the cross-price elasticity for your product? What type of goods are Good A and Good B?
Identify two (2) cognitive skills used in critical thinking the RN should have applied in this scenario
Review the article Critical thinking at the bedside: Providing safe passage to patients (Robert & Petersen, 2013). Scenario: Adam is a 10-year-old scheduled for discharge from the Emergency Department after a bicycle incident resulted in a fractured right ulna and radius. His arm has been casted, is immobilized and in a sling. Adam states, “My arm feels better now, and I am sleepy. The pain medicine makes me feel like I will vomit.” The RN is reviewing medications with Adam and his mother when the mother states, “We have a two (2) hour drive home from this emergency room. Can you give Adam something for nausea so he does not throw up in the car?” The RN has already completed the discharge paperwork, and the orthopedic physician who casted the arm has left the Emergency Department. The RN states, “No orders are available for Adam to have nausea medicine. I can give him another dose of pain medicine if you think that will help him sleep on the way home. Then he might not vomit.” Initial Discussion Post: Identify two (2) cognitive skills used in critical thinking the RN should have applied in this scenario Provide an alternative nursing intervention to ensure safe patient care in this scenario. Base your initial post on your readings and research of this topic. Your initial post must contain a minimum of 250 words. References, citations, and repeating the question do not count towards the 250 word minimum.

Describe what factions are, why the Founders thought they were inevitable and dangerous, and how the US Constitution is designed to mitigate the effects of factions.
For this test, you will have to write 4 short essays (about 2 paragraphs long). The questions are related to the subject matter covered in chapters 1-5 of the textbook and all the learning modules up through this point. To allow you to better prepare, I am going to show you the questions before you have to start the test. You will probably want to think about them, and probably even write your answers to them before you start. Once you begin, you will have 1 hour to complete the test. Good luck, and be in touch if you have questions. Questions: 1. Describe what factions are, why the Founders thought they were inevitable and dangerous, and how the US Constitution is designed to mitigate the effects of factions. 2. Why did the American colonists declare their independence from Great Britain? 3.Why is the 14th Amendment important? 4.How has the commerce clause been used to enhance the power of the Federal government at the expense of state governments?

Find the equivalent monthly cost over the life of the car of acquiring the car under this alternative.
Your client needs a new car and is trying to decide whether to (1) buy and pay cash, (2) buy fully financed, or (3) lease. The following terms are available:If the car is purchased for cash:– Cost new, $24,000– Factory rebate available immediately, $2,000If car is purchased fully financed:– Cost new, $24,000– No down payment– 100 percent financing by dealer at in = 6 percent, 36 monthly paymentsIf the same car is leased:– Monthly lease fee paid in advance at BOM (beginning of the month), $450 per month (the first payment is due now).– At the end of the 60-month lease period the client has an option to purchase the car for $1.00.The client ordinarily invests and borrows at in = 12 percent compounded monthly, and expects to keep the car for 60 months.a) Find the equivalent monthly cost over the life of the car of each of the three alternatives and select the lowest cost. (Disregard resale value at EOM 60, since it is the same in all three cases)b) The dealer offers an additional bonus feature with the fully financed purchase offer where by the first payment is not due until EOM 4. Delivery of the car is made now, and interest at 6 percent accrues on the balance owed. The 36 monthly payments are calculated on the amount owed at EOM 3. Find the equivalent monthly cost over the life of the car of acquiring the car under this alternative.
Propose a solution that will relieve friction in your company’s age diverse workforce.
Imagine that you work for a company with an age diverse workforce. You have baby boomers working with millenials. Their backgrounds are different, and how they view work is different.

Prepare a five to seven (5-7) slide PowerPoint presentation for your staff meeting that addresses this issue and proposes a solution. Create a five to seven (5-7) slide PowerPoint presentation in which you: Propose a solution that will relieve friction in your company’s age diverse workforce. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements: Format the PowerPoint presentation with headings on each slide and at least one (1) relevant graphic (photograph, graph, clip art, etc.).
