Why is there a need to build an application that would benefit the disabled

The topic is Inclusive City. I have developed an application that is mainly related to data visualisation. It solely focuses on accessibility needs of the people(mainly wheelchair and visually impaired users currently). The data is visualised and shown in the map as circles with different colors(one color per accessibility). The size of the circle is determined by the number of reviews each place has. The more the number of reviews, the big the circle is. Places can be any place like restaurants, museums, malls..etc The user can add a review for any place(review is solely based on accessibility and nothing else).

In short, the application is like a tripadvisor for accessibility only. There is a list view so that the screen readers will be able to read as many visually impaired users will find it difficult to access the map. I have attached few snapshots of the application.

I want a Literature Review section of minimum 5000 words backed up with references for my dissertation report. I will need it in 5-6 days.

The section should mainly include:

* Brief introduction about Inclusive City(Why cities should be accessible)

* Challenges facing the disabled people

* Why is there a need to build an application that would benefit the disabled

* The local disabled population

* Related Work

* How this application can benefit them

Identify and discuss some of the problems or dangers in using project networks.

Consider a project such as moving to a new neighborhood, completing a long-term school assignment, or even cleaning your bedroom.  Develop a set of activities necessary to accomplish that project, and then order them in a precedence manner to create sequential logic.  Explain and defend the number of steps you identified and the order in which you placed those steps for best completion of the project.In crashing a project, we routinely focus on those activities that lie on the critical path, not activities with slack time.  Explain why this is the case.Identify and discuss some of the problems or dangers in using project networks.  Under what circumstances can they be beneficial, and when can they be dangerous?

Explain in detail why data analysis skills are so important to spend analysis.

Operations and supply chain managers as well as professionals in purchasing engage in strategic sourcing processes, and they demonstrate how spend analysis, total cost analysis, portfolio analysis, and weighted-point evaluation models can be used to support strategic sourcing efforts. Purchasing managers, for example, spend more time on strategic sourcing activities, such as spend analysis, supplier evaluation and selection, and make-or-buy decisions. All of these activities require individuals with a solid mix of quantitative and interpersonal skills. This assignment will enhance your skills in these important areas.

In your paper,

• Explain in detail why data analysis skills are so important to spend analysis.
• Describe how a structured process such as Six Sigma methodology (Chapter 4) can be useful to identify spending patterns and opportunities for improvement.
• Recommend which functional areas of the business, such as finance, should be involved in spend analysis efforts, and justify the rationale for your choices.

Identify a state or national politician (state representative or legislator, senator, congressman, governor, etc.), or aide, whom you would like to interview regarding current issues in health care reform

Assignment 1: Issues in Health Care Reform (Interview)

According to the AACN (2006), “Political activism and commitment to policy development are central elements of professional nursing practice” (p. 13). Throughout this course, you will hone the skills and competencies required for this type of involvement in policy.

Research is an essential step in the process of acquiring the skills and competencies, and interviews are one form of research that can serve as a valuable source of information. As such, this Assignment (which you will start this week, and submit by the end of Week 9) provides an opportunity for you to identify a health reform issue of interest and discuss the issue with a state or national politician (or their aide).

To prepare:

• Identify      a state or national politician (state representative or legislator,      senator, congressman, governor, etc.), or aide, whom you would like to      interview regarding current issues in health care reform. (I live in the state of Maryland.      The 2 states senators are Chris Van Hollen since 2017 and Ben Cardin since      2007; the Governor name is Larry Hogan. You can also google any of the      information about the state of Maryland in the US)
• As      soon as possible, contact the individual’s office to request a meeting.      Keep in mind that it may be difficult to get on their calendar, so plan      accordingly. You may conduct the interview in person or by phone.
• In      advance of the interview, ask yourself:
  • What       health care policy issue is important to me personally?
  • What       issue do I want to bring to this person’s attention?
• With      this in mind, develop your list of questions for the interview around your      selected health policy issue. In addition, you may wish to include      questions related to health care reform:
  • What       are your constituents most concerned about regarding health care reform?
  • What       are the trade-offs associated with recent health care reform policy?

To complete:

• Write  a 3- to 4-page paper with at least 5 scholarly references providing a summary and analysis of the interview and the health care reform issues you discussed. Include an introduction and a conclusion.

Your written assignments must follow APA guidelines. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from appropriate Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate (at least 5 references). Refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association to ensure that your in-text citations and reference list are correct.

Explain, briefly, the three strategic approaches to competitive advantages.

Strategy is an organization’s action plan to achieve its mission, whether that is flying airplanes or building them. Firms have several different ways to achieve their mission, and these strategic concepts can provide an advantage over your competitors.

Based on your readings and resource review, you should be able to define the three strategic approaches (differentiation, cost leadership, and response) to competitive advantages. With these approaches in mind, identify a company and determine which approaches they use.
