Do not include introduction nor definition of moral hazard, just address the question : Based on the resources provided and uploaded provide the arguments as to why the MAC Clause cannot perfectly prevent Moral Hazard, discuss the 2 contrasting theories (Gilson & Schwatz and Miller) Consider this thesis statement: the MAC Clause does not prevent moral hazard (at least not directly),we hold that the structural construction and definition of the MAC clause is not aimed towards addressing moral hazard behaviour, but rather the MAC Clause function is to address contingencies and the types of risks defined or to be defined that could materially affect the overall value of the target company, through the allocation of risks.However as will be seen further other contractual elements such as representation and warranties and interim covenant do address the incentives of the parties behaviour towards the mitigation or prevention of moral hazard.

Topic : Adult population in ICU /does nursing adhere to protocol guidelines for safe removal in patients using Intravascular Catheters from May to August 2019?
OF note: the PICOT question has to be formulated to fit this example: and can be changed around if needed. (use topic above and formulate in the proper context/ question) as in the example below

1. Conduct your search to find the most representative evidence articles on your topic.
Use one of the databases listed or a comparable one: PubMed or CINAHL.
o Use various MeSH (Medical Subject Heading) terms and combinations of terms from your PICOT question.
o Examine the MeSH terms derived for this paper.
o Adjust your search strategy to include combinations of the most relevant three to four MeSH terms.
o save the search strategies and searches.
o Restrict your searches to the most recent five years. Use four evidenced based articles and one evidence-based clinical practice guideline that can support a potential improvement project. Identify evidence that best addresses the focus of the topic for a potential improvement project.
2. Download and use the Evidnece grid to format the second document.

Student papers will be graded on the following items:
 A succinct company summary including the name of the company, the scope of its products or services, its current business-level strategy, and the current performance level of the company. (No more than one full page in length)
 A succinct industry summary including the industry classification (the SIC or NAICS code), a description of the industry to include its scope of products or services, the industry sales growth rates, and the top companies in the industry. (No more than one full page in length)
 A thorough external analysis encompassing the Five Forces Analysis and the General Environment Analysis; also included should be a succinct summary of the company’s chief competitor or industry rival (discuss the competitor by providing at minimum the name of the company, the company’s current-business level strategy, their current performance, and why they as opposed to another company is the chief rival)
 A thorough discussion of at least two realistic strategies that you recommend the company should pursue as a direct result of your analysis, along with a detailed

implementation plan for each. It will be unacceptable to recommend that the company
should “keep doing what they are doing” or that they should not change anything.
 Please note that doing the minimum will be associated with the “Meets Expectation” portion of the rubric (see below)
Please see the following grading rubric for this project. Papers have a minimum page requirement of five (5) full double-spaced pages of text (this does NOT include sources and supporting materials). Each paper should include supporting materials such as a graphs, figures, or tables (which DO NOT count towards the minimum page requirement), and must have at least five (5) cited sources (the format of the paper and citations are up to you). Please see the syllabus calendar for the due date associated with this assignment.

The term paper consists of two parts. Part 1 – select a domestic or international terrorist organization that threatens the U.S. homeland and complete a profile of that organization. The group profile should be approximately 50 percent of the final paper and must include a discussion of the group’s ideology, targeting, tactics, capability, and overall goals, analysis of attacks, and any statements or propaganda released by the group. Make sure you have enough information on the group to address all these factors and how it affects the US homeland.

A foreign terrorist group for this project must be on the official list of foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) maintained by the U.S. Department of State. In the case of domestic terrorist groups, there is no sanctioned list from which to choose, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has made significant arrests from several groups that would fit the description of a domestic terrorist group. The FBI also names many other groups in congressional testimony. Materials presented in the first module, as well as recent news and congressional testimony, are good sources of information on how to identify domestic groups for this project.

Part 2 – use the group profile to conduct an analysis of one or more U.S. homeland security policies studied in module 2, to assess the ability of the policy or policies to counter the threat posed by the group profiled. This analysis should begin with an introduction and explanation of the policy, followed by an analysis addressing the breadth of the information(from part 1) gathered on that terrorist group. The policy you analyze should be consistent with the group; for example, if you choose a domestic terrorist group, it would be improper to analyze the Secure Border Initiative and its ability to counter a domestic threat, because the members of the group are already within the nation’s borders. If you find the policy deficient, make specific recommendations for policy change to counter the threat. If you deem the policy sufficient to counter the threat, explain the rationale for your conclusion.
