In this essay, you are required to write a 2,500 word response with references to be kept in Harvard style. Make sure to seek some nuance in your answers and understand what the question is trying to imply first.

Points from discussion:
1)Intro
– What does citizenship mean?
-What value does it hold?
-why the concept of terrorism is at odds with citizenship?

2) the idea of state and sovereignty vs the notion of terror

3)
-Criticise on thick line between terrorists and state, as in many instances a terrorist for one state, is a saviour of another
-Example

-4)
5)
-why citizenship be stripped of:
1.could still hold on to idealogies and ideas behind being a terrorist; they only fell for it because they resonated with it more and felt it was better than their current state

Activity 1

Using the CIPD Profession Map as a reference, write a report in which you:

• Briefly summarise the CIPD Profession Map (i.e. the two core professional areas, the specialist professional areas, the bands and the behaviours).
• Consider your role as a HR assistant; looking at one professional area of the CIPD Profession Map (at either Band 1 or Band 2), identify the knowledge, skills and behaviours that you would consider essential to your new role as an HR assistant.

1.1

Activity 2

The HR function in your organisation is centralised and therefore you are responsible for providing a wide range of services to a variety of internal and external customers. Sometimes your customers will request things to be done all at the same time and it is your responsibility to prioritise their requests, whilst still ensuring that you maintain excellent customer service. Continue your report from Activity 1, and:

• Identify THREE customers who would use your HR services. You are also required to explain why they might need your services; giving a specific example for each customer. You should then explain how you would identify the conflicting needs and prioritise the three requests.

2.1

• Considering the THREE customers above, explain how you would effectively communicate with each. You should include THREE different methods of communication and the advantages and disadvantages of each.

2.2

• The nature of the HR function can result in you dealing with some emotive customer issues. Describe how you would endeavour to establish positive working relationships and deliver an efficient and effective service. You should consider how you would:

o Manage your time

o Manage your workload

o Address problems and complaints

o Communication

o Exceed customer expectations

o Review of HR services

2.3

Activity 3

As an HR practitioner, you are required to; log, monitor, and update your continuing professional development (CPD).

• Define CPD and explain its importance from the perspective of the employer and the employee.

3.1

• Referring to the CIPD Profession Map, assess yourself against the professional areas at Bands 1 and behaviours relating to your own role or a role that you aspire to. Identify any areas that you need to develop to reach the top of the band.

3.2

• Using a template, such as http://www.cipd.co.uk/cpd/guidance/examples-templates.aspx, devise a personal development plan (PDP) to meet at least FOUR of your development needs, including those identified above, and the achievement of your CIPD qualification. The plan should be for a minimum of 6-12 months.

3.4

• You will need to evaluate the options available to you to achieve at least TWO of your chosen development needs, stating the advantages and disadvantages of each

3.3

Activity 4

During the period of your studies, reflect on your performance against the plan. This includes learning gained from each unit of your qualification, and add reflective comments to the plan, or as a separate reflective statement, as the course progresses. As you progress, identify any further development needs and revise your plan accordingly.

3.5

Activities 1 & 2 Report of approximately 1500 words

Activity 3 A written piece including a personal development plan (PDP) No word count

Activity 4 Written records of on-going reflection and, where appropriate, revision of the plan to include further development needs and solutions. (Note: Activity 4 will not be complete until the end of the programme.

This is a paper that creates the instructions of any given technology (shoes, baking, toys, computers, etc. YOUR CHOICE). Within the paper, there MUST be a definition of some sort. This definition can be parenthetical, extended or one sentence. At the beginning of the paper (the very first paragraph) an audience must be detailed; meaning, if the paper is geared towards ninth graders, you’ll detail their characteristics. This first paragraph is described as the audience category. *Note that the tone of the entire paper must match the characteristics described in the first paragraph* The tools required, as well as an overview and/or introduction, can be included.

Assignment proposal – 

The first component of this assignment is to prepare a proposal which outlines the specific details of your behavioural modification program. There is no set word count for the proposal, but you should address each question in a clear and comprehensive manner. You can see an example of a behavioural modification program proposal on your PSY3060 Study Desk page.

 

1. Briefly describe your Behaviour Modification Plan (BMP) in plain language (e.g., “teach my dog to sit”, “stop my daughter biting her nails”, “increase my friend’s exercising frequency”) 1 mark.
2. Describe the learner. If a human being, identify by initials (e.g., A.L.) for privacy, and state relationship to you (e.g., son, partner, self).  If an animal, identify species/breed, age, and health status.  Include any additional information relevant to your BMP.  Include signed, completed Informed Consent (if a human) or completed Animal Ethics (if an animal). 2 marks.
3. Describe the behaviour you will be influencing (clearly state whether you are strengthening, weakening, or establishing a new behaviour). Be very specific.  Estimate how often the behaviour occurs, or will occur if implementing a new behaviour (e.g., number of times per day).  What is the antecedent (i.e., cue, SD, or context) for the behaviour to occur? 2 marks.
4. Why have you selected this behaviour? (i.e., what are the advantages and/or disadvantages of this behaviour – provide a rationale for your intervention) 1 mark.
5. Describe (exactly) the relevant reinforcer(s) which currently maintain (or will maintain) the target behaviour. State why you believe the reinforcer(s) is/are (or will be) effective. These may be existing reinforcers (if you will be using extinction or negative reinforcement) or planned (if using positive reinforcement). 2 marks.
6. Describe the contingency you will implement. State whether you will be using simple reinforcement (+/-), shaping, chaining, or extinction to establish, strengthen, or weaken the target behaviour.  How and why will you use this contingency?  (e.g., what schedule of reinforcement will you use, and why?) 2 marks.
7. How will you measure the behaviour? Include relevant periods / times of day, recording method (be very specific), scale of measurement, full count or sample, observations / judgements, and expected type and range of the data you will collect.  If using a form or data sheet, provide a copy. 3 marks.
8. State the design and duration of your behavioural modification program (e.g. ABAB; AB; ABA). State the duration of each separate component as well as total duration of project (and justify your choices).  Describe exactly what you will do/not do in terms of the contingency during baseline period(s), including any issues with use of cues or behaviour measures. 3 marks.
9. What additional measurement factors do you need to consider (e.g., intensity, duration, speed, latency, interval recording, topography, errors etc.)? If you have no other measurement factors to consider, explain why this is the case.  Describe how you or any others will ensure data are recorded at the appropriate times. 1 mark.
10. How will your data be presented (i.e., Table, Figure) and why have you chosen this method? What type of analysis will you be using on your data – so that you will be able to establish whether or not your behavioural modification was successful?  Are there any conceptual or methodological concerns you have already thought about which might affect your results, or your ability to carry out the plan successfully?  If using ratings in observing behaviour, what steps will you be taking to reduce the likelihood of bias? 3 marks.

Overview of Assessment Task 3
 In groups of 4-5, students are supposed to choose a company and propose an integrated marketing communications (IMCs)
plan through which the company can: enhance its current position in the market, introduce a product / brand into a current /
new market, or manage a marketing crisis of any sort. The context (market) can be any relevant place (domestic /
international market). It should be a real-life scenario.
 Students choose the company / brand / market / context.
 No two groups in one tutorial can choose the same company / brand. Once a group has chosen the company / brand, the
rest of the groups should choose a different one.
 Group formation will take place in week 1 – first tutorial. Students can also choose their company / brand in week 1. All
groups and their choice of company/brand should be finalised by week 3. The sooner, the better.
 Students need to provide their tutor with their group details (full name of each student, student number, and
company/brand and the context they have chosen).
 This assessment task is split into two parts:
o Assessment task 3a: group oral presentation.
 Students are to present their IMC plan in their tutorials in weeks 9, 10, and 11 (no video recordings will be
accepted).
 All students in the group are required to present.
 The time of each group’s presentation will be allocated by the tutor as soon as the groups are formed.
 The oral presentation of the IMC plan will be an opportunity for students to receive comments / suggestions
from their tutor and other students on their plan, which can be then implemented in their written report
(assessment task 3b).
 A hard copy of the script of the presentation is to be submitted to the tutor before the presentation starts.

o Assessment task 3b: group written report.
 The written report will be a final version of the IMC plan.
 It will be due on Friday at 5pm of week 12.
 The written report is to be submit it through the Turnitin

 One student submits on behalf of the rest of the group members.

As nurse practitioners continue to expand their role in delivering health care, it is imperative for NPs to provide the data and evidence to demonstrate the impact of NP care on patient outcomes. There are several challenges that advanced practice nurses face to provide quality care and meet productivity goals of an organization. This week it is important to explore the connection of quality care and performance measures. Some questions to consider as we discuss this topic are:

• Why are quality measures important?
• What is the difference between quality measures and performance indicators?
• What performance measures are used for NP productivity?
• Why are incentive plans used in clinical organizations?

To prepare:

• Read the article, An Incentive Plan for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses: Impact on Provider and Organizational Outcomes, by Catherine A. Rhodes, Mavis Bechtle, and Molly McNett (2015)
• Explore quality measures and identify at least one clinical performance measure, such as the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)

Paper is

Post an explanation of the importance of quality measures using the clinical performance measure you identified as an example. Then, identify the performance measures used for NP productivity in Rhodes, Bechtle, and McNett (2015) article. Finally, share your opinion on incentive payment for care, including external motivators and at least one business model.

Criteria for choosing a talk: The topic and the department do not really matter, as long as
the talk relates to a topic important in public health, and is a scientific research talk. If you
get to your talk and realize that it isn’t a research seminar…you will have to find another
one. For example, a panel discussion on public health policy is unlikely to cover research in
depth enough for this assignment.
Where to find a list of talks: The Student Affairs Weekly email contains many seminars.
Additional talks are available on Canvas to help you find a seminar that interests you.
II. Assignment structure: Provide a brief summary of the talk you attended. Including the
following sections:
a. Title, speaker, date and location of seminar
b. Research topic and/or question: Summarize the specific research topic and/or question
of the talk.
c. Significance: State the health problem and public health relevance.
d. Methods: Provide a brief description of all research methods used. Include study design,
data collection/laboratory methods, analysis methods. If a single study was presented,
SPH 480 – Public Health Research Methods
you can provide more detail. If multiple studies were presented, briefly describe all
methods used in less detail.
e. Results: Summarize the main research findings. Include data (quantitative or qualitative)
to support these findings.
f. Implications: In your own words, provide a few sentences to:
– Summarize the relevance of the findings: Provide a few sentences to summarize the
researcher’s thoughts on the relevance of their work.
– Your thoughts on the research as presented: Does the study address a significant
public health topic? How may the research impact the public health problem? Did
you notice particular strengths/weaknesses in this study? Use the lessons from SPH
480 to analyze the talk. Please note that vague thoughts such as “This was a very
interesting topic”/”I never thought about this topic” will not receive credit.
– Unanswered questions: Did the presentation leave you with questions? What else
needs to be studied to understand the implications of the research?

Preparing the Assignment

• Professionalism in Communication: The post presents information in logical, meaningful, and understandable sequence, and is clearly relevant to the discussion topic. Grammar, spelling, and/or punctuation are accurate.
• Wednesday Participation Requirement: The student provides a substantive response to the graded discussion question(s) or topic(s), posted by the course faculty (not a response to a peer), by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. MT of each week.
• Total Participation Requirement: The student provides at least three substantive posts (one to the initial question or topic, one to a student peer, and one to a faculty question) on two different days during the week.

 

Introduction

This graded discussion will explore the impact of systems theory on a practice problem or issue. Please provide an initial response to the discussion question by Wednesday at 11:59pm MT and two interactive dialogue responses no later than Sunday 11:59 PM MT at the end of WEEK 5. The discussion is worth 75 points. Please refer to the discussion grading rubric for additional criteria.

Discussion Question:

Many of you have experience in complex adaptive systems whether you realize it or not. Thinking about your current or future practice area, identify an issue or concern. In your initial response, please describe the concern. Does the concern primarily occur at the micro, meso, or macro level? How would you address this issue? What impact might your solution have on the other levels of the system? In what ways could interprofessional collaboration be used to resolve the issue?
