Epidemiological study design

Below are five research questions. For your initial post, you will choose 3 research questions and select the epidemiological study design that you would use to answer EACH question. You can choose from the following designs: cross-sectional, case-control, cohort, community trial or clinical trial. You can only propose each design one time — in other words, you must use a different design for each of the 3 research questions you choose.

For each of the 3 selected questions, you should describe:

Study design selected

Study period (time)

How study participants will be selected

At least 2 reasons why you chose the design over other designs — be specific.

 

Cite your sources as needed using APA citation format.

Logical fallacies in  writing.

It is important to avoid making logical fallacies in  writing. A reader who finds flaws in the logic of an argument is less likely to be persuaded by that claim. Fallacies in our logic discredits our writing and essentially weakens our argument. Think about the argument you are drafting. In the discussion, identify the flaws in logic you see yourself making as you construct your argument. Reflect on how you can avoid falling into those traps. Also, tell your peers if you’ve encountered any fallacies through your research. As peers, let’s continue this discussion by helping one another develop strategies to identify and avoid logical fallacies.  Give suggestions for how we can strengthen the logic in our own arguments.

Ethics of testing on vulnerable populations

In this discussion, we will explore the ethics of testing on vulnerable populations. Initial post should be a minimum of 200 words. When you describe ideas that are not your own, be sure to paraphrase and not use direct quotations.

For your initial post, address the following:

· What are some examples of vulnerable populations in cognitive psychology? What makes them vulnerable?

· What is an example of a precaution that psychological scientists can use when testing or applying a new protocol or technology that might help a vulnerable population?

· Between the need to help people with cognitive impairments and the need to patiently accumulate reliable data, where should we draw the line?

· What are the dangers of unsupported claims by researchers and the media in products sold as “helping your memory” or “enhancing your attention”?

· How does the concept of testing on vulnerable populations apply to at least one of the following programmatic course themes?

· Self-care, Social justice, Emotional intelligence (EI), Career connections or Ethics

The Origin And Impact Of Globalization

Organizational Behavior Concepts

    • Organizational Behavior Concepts
    • Identification of the agency or organization for which service was performed.
    • Description of the purpose or mission of the agency or organization.
    • Description of the work done by the learner.
    • Description of the area or department of the organization observed by the learner.

In this section, the learner will address organizational behavior aspects of the organization. The learner will select two organizational behavior topics from those we study in this course and apply the concepts and principles of those two (2) topics to the organization. Suggested areas for observation and evaluation may include, but are not limited to:

  • Systems theory as applied to the organization
  • Organizational culture
  • How the culture is being sustained or changed
  • Socialization of members
  • The role of personality
  • Perceptions
  • Motivational theories
  • Psychological contract
  • Job design
  • Use of evaluation, feedback and rewards
  • Misbehavior
  • Individual or organizational stress
  • Group development
  • Group behavior(s)
  • Use of teams
  • Management of conflict
  • Power and politics
  • Communication
  • Decision making
  • Organizational structure
  • Organizational leadership
  • Organizational change
  • Details: The following points should guide the learner in the completion of this project.
  • The paper will contain 3,500 words of content. The cover sheet, abstract (not required but may be used), table of contents (if used), and references do not count toward the length of the paper.
  • The paper, including citations, references, and general format will be APA compliant.
  • In addition to the text and the Bible, the paper will contain at least five additional references, two of which must be from peer-reviewed sources. References should be from high-quality sources such as peer-reviewed sources, trade journals and business journals. While sources such as Wikipedia, e-How, blogs, or similar sites may occasionally be used, they will not count toward the minimum number of references.
  • The learner will obtain a letter from an officer or manager in the organization verifying that at least 8 hours of service were performed for the organization. The letter will state where the service was performed and the nature of the service. The letter will also contain the name and contact information of the organization’s contact providing the letter. This letter will be submitted with the project. This letter does not count toward the page content of the paper.
  • In addressing the organizational behavior topics chosen, it is recommended that the analysis include the following aspects (you don’t have to use them all, but these are good places to start):
  • A description of the topic (a must)
  • The theoretical foundation of the topic (a must)
  • How the topic manifested itself in the organization (evidence)
  • Effects of the topic on the organization
  • Did the topic manifest itself as what you read suggested it would?
  • Does that organizational behavior aspect propel or hinder the organization in achieving this mission?
  • What alternatives are there to the situation(s) you saw?
  • Was the organization using the Organizational Behavior principles effectively? What evidence is there of this?
  • Do you have any recommendations for the organization based on what you have learned in Organizational Behavior and what you saw?
  • The paper will contain a significant section integrating Christian worldview perspectives with the observations. In addition to evaluating the OB situation or practice from a theoretical viewpoint, the learners must also evaluate the situation from the point of view of the biblical foundations provided in this course. Learners must evaluate whether or not the principle as practiced by the organization is consistent with the biblical foundations (compare and contrast) and evaluate the potential change in effectiveness of the organization were the biblical foundations are to be employed.  If the organization does purport to operate from a biblical point of view, the learners will evaluate the extent to which the organization appears to be consistent with the biblical foundation in its organizational behavior.

Occupational health and safety specialist

Cathy Calvin is the newly appointed occupational health and safety specialist for the local school board. She has just been told of an incident experienced by an employee in the administrative office. It seems that two employees were trying to move a full filing cabinet from one corner of the office to another. The cabinet tipped, crushing the foot of one of the employees. The office staff applied first aid and rushed the injured employee to the hospital. The employee will be off work for at least two weeks. Board policy requires a full investigation of any lost-time injury. As a relative newcomer to the health and safety role, Cathy has never conducted an incident investigation before.
Can you help Cathy design an appropriate strategy for approaching the investigation?

Researching demographic changes

To ensure sustainability long term, healthcare organizations must position themselves in a unique position to remain competitive. This analysis includes researching demographic changes. Choose one of the projected demographics discussed in your interactive lecture on page 3 or pick your own, and respond to the following: How can a market analysis provide the concrete data required to steer planning and development into a new venture? If you were the CEO of the healthcare facility of your choice, what aspects of a recent market analysis would you use to pursue a competitive advantage for a new venture? How does the projected demographic you chose impact the future planning of a healthcare organization ?What does this changing demographic mean for our healthcare system, and how will it affect strategic planning and management? Consider how this demographic impacts stakeholders, consumers, and regulations As a CEO, how would you communicate the demographic changing needs to the stakeholders?
