/in /by

You should write all questions and your corresponding answer to them in this discussion board.

SEparate by 5.1 and 5.2 but together

A 33-year-old male swallows 30 antidepressants and tells his wife, “I want to die.” She takes him to the local hospital’s emergency department, where he is treated and released that same evening. In the hospital parking lot, he pushes a security guard and is arrested and taken into custody. In the county jail, a nurse places the man on suicide watch. The following evening, while the man is still in custody, a psychologist speaks to him for five minutes, then releases him from suicide watch. The man is returned to his cell, and two hours later, he hangs himself.

  1. Does the emergency department have liability for discharging a suicidal patient without further treatment?
  2. Does the psychologist have liability for releasing the patient from suicide watch after a five-minute consultation?
  3. The psychologist is an “independent contractor” of the jail. Is the county liable for his actions?

LO 5.2

A woman gave birth in the back seat of a taxicab while en route to the hospital. To what standard of care would each of the following individuals be held?

  1. The taxicab driver who comforted the mother
  2. A registered nurse, also a passenger in the cab, who assisted the mother
  3. A physician in general practice who was a passenger in the cab with the expectant mother and assisted the birth taking place in the cab
  4. A police officer who stopped the cab for speeding, observed the situation, and assisted with the birth

A woman trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) worked as the office manager for an insurance business. When her coworker at the next desk had a heart attack and fell to the floor, the office manager began CPR and shouted for others in the room to dial 911. The department supervisor came running and told the office manager to stop CPR. She reluctantly obeyed. Emergency medical technicians arrived, but the heart attack victim died.

  1. The victim’s husband sued the supervisor, the office manager, and the employees’ parent organization for failure to render medical assistance. In a finding for the defendants, an appeals court ruled there was “no duty of care” for the employees to render assistance. Despite this court’s ruling, in a similar situation, would you have acted as the CPR-trained office manager did? Explain your answer

    Hey.

    May I ask what brings you in today (No matching questions found.)

    She went to the clinic today (No matching questions found.)

    What brings you into the clinic this morning

    Well, I have a lot of pain in my lower back. It really hurts, and it doesn’t seem to be going away. It’s making it kind of hard to get things done, so I decided to come in and have it looked at.

    Thanks for understanding.

    May I ask when did this pain start (Clarified to When did the pain start?.)

    It started three days ago, right when I first tweaked my back. (Clarified to when the pain started.)

    Do you have any medical history of muscular skeletal system

    Other than my back? I have diabetes and asthma.

    What are you taking for diabetes

    I don’t take medicine for it anymore.

    What are you taking for your asthma

    Question 04/15/20 4:47 PM MD

    I have a Flovent daily inhaler and a Proventil rescue inhaler.

    How often are you using your proventil

    I haven’t used my rescue inhaler in months — not since I started the daily Flovent one.

    That makes sense.

    Can I ask where is the pain located

    It hurts in my lower back and even, like, the top of my butt.

    How long does it pain last

    It’s pretty constant.

    What does it feel like

    It’s like. . . an ache.

    Is there something that makes it worse

    Well, I’ve been taking Advil for it. Otherwise the only thing that really helps is lying flat on my back.

    How often are you taking Advil

    I’ve been taking them every five or six hours, like it says on the bottle.

    How many days have you been taking it (Clarified to For how many days have you been on pain pills?.)

    I’ve been taking the Advil about three days, maybe a little less–since the night after I hurt myself. (Clarified to how many days I have been taking pain pills.)

    Is there something that makes your back pain worse

    It definitely feels worst when I’m sitting up. Moving around can make it hurt more, too.

    Is there anything related with the back pain

    Taking Advil has been helping a little. . . and it feels better when I lie flat on my back.

    Does your back pain radiates anywhere

    No, it isn’t spreading.

    Are you able to walk okay

    I can walk, but it does hurt a little.

    Do you need to use a walker

    I can walk, but it does hurt a little.

    From 1 to 10 what is your pain scale (Clarified to Can you rate your current back pain level on a scale of 0 to 10?.)

    Without medication, it depends on what position I’m in, but I’d say probably it averages about 5 out of 10. (Clarified to to rate my back pain on a scale.)

    When you take the medication what is your pain scale

    When the Advil’s just kicking in the pain goes down to a 2 or 3 out of 10, I’d say.

    Are you having any joint pain

    No, my joints feel fine.

    Are you able to stand up

    It actually feels a little better when I’m standing than when I’m sitting.

    Have you had history of muscle soreness before

    Sore muscles aren’t usually a problem for me, but I think it’s this muscle in my back that is causing me so much pain. [AUDIO COMING SOON]

    May I ask what do you do at work

    Well, since being promoted to supervisor, I’ve been in charge of scheduling other employees, taking inventory, and placing orders for supplies. I’m still on the floor a lot though, dealing with customers and that sort of thing. It’s mostly a lot of standing and walking around.

    Have you had any muscle injury

    Well, I guess it’s the muscle in my back that’s hurting.

    Has this ever happened before (No matching questions found.)

    Did you have this problem before

Grassroots Activism Project (GPA #2) NOTE:

/in /by

Grassroots Activism Project (GPA #2)
NOTE: Grassroots Activism Project requires you to look around and identify an issue of
concern in your own community, develop ways to address the concern, and then take
action! You’ll then be able to consider barriers to action and how you can use your
experience in your educational and career goals. We’ll do this in three steps so that you
have guidance along the way and opportunity to get a restart if you stumble.
COVID-19 UPDATE: Although you may be doing an infographic, PowerPoint, or similar
alternative “action” (since many of you cannot complete the action you proposed earlier
due to concerns over COVID-19 and current safer-at-home orders), you still need to
complete the essay portion of this assignment. Your infographic, Ppt, etc is your
“action” now, but the essay is the context for your action.
In this stage of our Grassroots Activism Project ( assignments, we will engage in grassroots
activism by “doing” something and documenting it! You should plan on about 3-5 hours of time
and effort total. Your assignment in the Action Stage – besides the actual implementing your
grassroots activism plan – is to complete an “Addressing Injustice Report” to reflect on your
experience and action. You will submit an essay addressing these questions: What did I do
to address my chosen social injustice? What barriers or frustrations did I face, and how did I
overcome them? What would I do differently next time I seek to address social injustice? To
what degree did my grassroots activism make a change? You should also include photos and/or
other materials that document your experience. That way we know that you actually completed
the project.
REMEMBER: This doesn’t have to be writing a whole new essay! You may take aspects of your
earlier assignment and add to it in a way that builds on it. Be sure to answer the posted
questions specifically and with enough detail and explanation that anyone off the street could
pick up your submission and understand it completely. That means that it probably needs to be
in the range of 2-3 double-spaced pages, unless you are a talented writer who can convey a
great deal of meaning in fewer pages. Be sure to proofread your entire submission for form and
style and flow; just “cutting-and-pasting” your prior report and then adding some more words is
basically a pretty sloppy way to complete this assignment. Try to complete this as if it was an
assignment at your first job after graduation! What would you submit to impress your new boss
or supervisor and demonstrate your skills and talents? Apply that approach here!
Rubric

GAP assignment #1
The admission of students with athletic ability is common in the United States. A study by Hurwitz
revealed the odds of admission for athletic or legacy students was 15.69 times the odds for other students
(486). About 40 percent of sports in college classes are reserved for legacy students, and elite colleges
give up to 24 percent of undergraduate positions to legacy students (Bergman para 5). Some studies reveal
that legacy criteria can substitute for several dozen points on the SAT (Ordway para 3). The high level of
injustice towards academically superior students who are denied college positions for lack of superior
athletic ability can be understood in the context of competitive advantage theory. The theory stresses on
the maximization of economies of scale, which is applicable mostly in business (Wang 33).In sports, it
could mean that colleges strive to present themselves as capable of nurturing talents. Thus, it might
appear worthwhile to pay for high premium prices because the product is multifunctional and
well-rounded. Also, students and sponsors can discern the opportunity cost of attending a sports-oriented
college or a non-oriented college.
The issue of injustice meted towards academically strong students is related to the concepts discussed in
class. It relates to discrimination based on social-economic status and race. Indeed, reserving and
providing positions to students with athletic ability while denying the same positions to students with
higher academic qualifications is discriminatory. Besides favoring students from superior economic
backgrounds who can nurture their own talents using their personal fundings, discriminative college
sports awards students whose racial characteristics facilitate athletic prowess. The practice is wrong, as
discussed in class, because it propagates a culture of injustice, eliminates fairness, and encourages
institutional discrimination, stereotypes, and segregation in educational systems.
I will address the raised issue by holding discussions with my college registrar and sports head in the
coming week. I will book appointments, and when I meet them in their offices, I will determine the exact
number of student-athletes, the college admission criteria, and the equivalent of the edge given to a
student-athlete in terms of SAT or other scores. I will then ask the college to follow up on the athletic
students as well as the students denied admission positions to determine how the students fair in their
studies and the institutions in which they get enrolled. By so doing, the college can track the impact of its
policies even as it revises the admission criteria and relaxes athletic ability preferences.
Instructor comment :
This is an interesting topic. So are you focusing on the socioeconomic inequity that results in
legacy students essentially buying their way into schools? I am not sure what you mean when
you stated that, “college sports awards students whose racial characteristics facilitate athletic
prowess” as there is nothing that I am aware of that differentiates athletic ability based on race.
This is a potentially problematic perspective, as it reproduces racial hierarchy, so be careful with
your wording. If you are going to address unfair policies in college recruiting, that makes sense
but you will need to connect it strongly to class and the wealth gap in order for it to work with
this class. Additionally, part of your action is asking the school to compete research. That is not
feasible. Your action about meeting with people, do you think that those people have the ability
to change policies? Might there be other factors like board funding at work here? I don’t think
meeting with people is an effective use of your time for this project. How else might you raise
awareness about this issue? Could you hold an info-night for your family and friends and raise
awareness about how classism effects college recruiting, particularly athletics? Keep thinking
about this project, and if you need more help please reach out to us.

Scenario
Activa1 is an Australian business, manufacturing custom made digital calendars for top-end production chains around the globe. The manufacturing process of the digital calendars runs 24/7 with employees working for the morning, afternoon, night shifts, and weekends, except for public holidays. Angelina Sully is the Human Resources Manager of the business and wants to analyze the existing employee database. Angelina has assigned you, Peter James to do an analysis and interpret the outcomes to her.
Email from the Human resources manager.
To: Peter
From: Angelina
Subject:Analysis of the employee data Dear Peter
The board of directors is keen to understand the existing employee information that may have a great impact on the company’s overall performance. To ensure we are on the right track regarding our strategic goals, we would like you to analyse the dataset in file MIS171_A2.xlsx.
The board of directors are concerned about the surveyed factors might have an impact on the future of the business. Can you respond to the following questions based on some analysis? Question 1 – Departmental profit is the most important measure that the board is interested in. Can you provide with an overall estimate of the average profit for all departments?
You will need to produce the relevant tabulated summary statistics and graph(s). Then, you will need to calculate a 95% confidence interval for average departmental profit (Population mean).
Question 2: Are there any differences in the overall proportion of the four different departments? That is, is there any department sampled that is proportionally represented more than the others?
You will need to produce relevant tabulated summary statistics. Then, you will need to calculate, compare and contrast, 95% confidence interval estimates for the proportion of each department.
Question 3
Are there any differences in the Employee performances between different departments?
You will need to create suitable cross -tabulation(s) and graph(s). Then you will need to calculate, compare and contrast, 95% confidence interval estimates for the average Employee performances for each department (Advertising, Design, IT and Sales) separately.
Question 4
Are there any relationship that the variable ‘Age’ has with the ‘Employee performance, Departmental profits, Loyalty, Experience, and Fortnightly earnings?
1Activa is a fictitious company and meant to bear no resemblance to any existing organization. All data and any individuals mentioned are fictitious.
You will need to calculate suitable association measures and create relevant graph(s)
Question 5 – Assuming that the earnings for every department is approximately normally distributed, answer the following questions for each department separately: a. What is the probability that the fortnightly earnings of an employee exceeds $1,500?
b. What is the probability that the fortnightly earnings of an employee would be less than $1,000?
c. What is the value of the fortnightly earnings of an employee, who is within the 10% of the highest fortnightly income earners of each department? (see the diagram below for further clarification)
To answer this question, you will need to do the probability calculations for each department
separately.
Finally, I would also like an interactive Dashboard for me to explore the different aspects of all employee contributions to the betterment of the business.
I look forward to your response and the Dashboard
Sincerely,
Angelina
Please note that this diagram is only related to part c of this question
Assignment instructions
The assignment consists of three parts:
Part 1: Data Analysis
When conducting the analysis, you will apply techniques from descriptive analytics, visualisations,
probabilities, and confidence interval calculation. Hence, you will use various tables, graphs, and summary
measures. When exploring data, we often produce more results than we eventually use in the final report, but by investigating the data from different angles, we can develop a much better ‘feel’ for the data: a deeper understanding of the data.
 Always ensure that you consider relevant modelling assumptions such as considerations of the level of measurement of the variable, the method of sampling, the shape of the population distri- bution, and the sample size.
 The analysis section you submit should be on Q1 to Q5 sheets of the Excel file.
 Where possible, it is always useful to produce both numerical and graphical statistical summaries as
sometimes, something is revealed in one that is not obvious in the other.
 Your analysis should be clearly labelled and grouped around each question.  Poorly presented, unorganised analysis, or excessive output will be penalised.
Part 2: Email
You are required to reply by email, detailing all essential information and relevant conclusions from your data analysis. You are allowed no more than 2 pages to cover your written conclusions. Please use the font size 11 (Arial) and leave a margin of 2.54 cm.
Please consider the following dot points very carefully.
 Keep the English simple and the explanations succinct. Avoid the use of technical statistical jargon.
 Your reader will not necessarily understand complicated statistical terms, thus your task is to convert your analysis into plain, simple, easy to understand language.
 The email is to be written as a stand-alone document. Thus, you should not have any references in the email to your analysis, nor should you include any charts and tables in your email.
 Use an email format for your reply. That means the email heading (e.g. To: From: Subject 🙂 should be included, the recipient should be addressed at the beginning and the signature or name of the sender should be included at the end.
 When composing your reply, make sure that you actually answer the questions asked.
 Do not copy the questions in the email.
 Sequentially number your answers in both your email and your analysis (1, 2 …5) to match the email.  Include a simple introduction at the start of the email and a summary/conclusion at the end.
 Marks will be deducted for the use of technical terms, irrelevant material, poor presentation /
organisation / formatting and emails that are over two pages long or copy questions in the email.
When you have completed the email, it is a useful exercise to leave it for a day, return to it and re-read it as if you knew nothing about the analysis.
 Does it flow easily?
 Does it make sense?
 Can someone without prior knowledge follow your written conclusions?
Often on re-reading, you become aware that you may have made some unclear points, and find that you can re-phrase them much more clearly.
Part 3: Interactive Dashboard
The minimum requirement is a neat, functional, interactive dashboard. It is expected that the dashboard includes up to 5 interactive components.
The Microsoft Excel file should contain a separate sheet for the interactive Dashboard.
The following questions will help guide you in designing an interactive dashboard.
 What are the most appropriate visualisations for the dashboard?
 What about the choice of colour?
 How can I make the dashboard interactive?
Submission Instructions Your submission will comprise of two files:
1. Your report in Microsoft Word format.

Dave McCuan
FINAL PROJECT (30% of Final Grade)
Final Paper Due: 5 pm, Thursday, May 14th, 2020
For the final POLS 302 Research Paper, you will examine the degree of congruence between
public opinion on a major policy issue and election outcomes in terms of congressional and/or
presidential results, using an ANES dataset from the 2004-2016 period.
Your paper, thus, will include your summary of results, cross-tabulations, polls and statistical
analysis presented by others (such as polling conducted by news outlets and academic
organizations) AS WELL AS your own original research. You should address the following
questions:
• What were the patterns of public opinion on the issue during the period under study?
• To what extent were the patterns in the time period of your study similar to or different
from opinions at some previous point in time (up to twenty years earlier)?
• How did opinion on that policy issue differ among various groups? Look for opinion
differences based on categories such as age, race, gender, region, religion, place of
residence, education, partisanship, ideology or any other quality that might be relevant?
• If relevant, what were the policy options advocated by various candidates and/or
interests?
• What policies or points of view seemed to prevail on Election Day?
• Thus, to which segments of public opinion were President and Congress responding?
• How did voters respond to policymakers’ positions on a given issue or set of issues?
To answer these questions, concentrate on using a more recent of data such as ANES 2004 or
2008, 2012, or 2016. You should FORMAT / ORGANIZE the paper per the following:
• Title Page (1 page, followed by a blank page)
• Table of Contents (1 page)
• List of Tables and Figures (1 page, including Labels, or Title, for each chart, graph, etc.
with page numbers, followed by a blank page)
• Abstract (1 page, one paragraph summary of your research question and brief findings,
followed by a blank page)
• Introduction (1 to 2 pages in length, introducing your research, why the question is of
interest, and a short discussion of where the research falls in Political Science)
• Previous Research / Literature (3 to 5 pages in length that details past significant research
and scholarship on your particular question)
• Theory (2 to 4 pages in length that details how you conceptualize previous approaches
AND integrate your own view into a new theoretical contribution)
• Research Question / Hypothesis(es) (1 to 2 pages in length that includes your predictions
about the DV based on the interaction of the IVs. This is both a formula AND a
description of each variable.)
2
• Methodology (1 page in length. A discussion of how you operationalize the IVs and the
statistical methods used to answer your hypothesis(es).)
• Findings (3 to 5 pages in length. What did you find, usually includes tables and
discussion of the significant findings within those tables.)
• Discussion / Implications (2 to 4 pages in length. A discussion of, “What is significant
about your question and based on your findings, why does that matter?”)
• Conclusion (typically 1 page, followed by a blank page)
• Appendix (Tables, supplementary information, followed by a blank page)
• Bibliography /Works Cited (should mostly – almost exclusively – be comprised of
Political Science journal articles, and few, if any, books.)
PAPER LENGTH & FURTHER GUIDELINES
The minimum accepted length of the WHOLE paper is 30 pages. The final paper, including all of
the pages listed above (including the blank pages), should total between 30 and 50 pages.
EVERY page should be paginated. The paper will be typewritten, double-spaced, using 12 point
Times New Roman font. The paper should be stapled once in the upper left-hand corner with no
