Chemistry Discussion (150 words + 150 words )

/in /by

I need two different versions one for me and one from my friend. We are in the same class and same teacher.

Discussion

Believe it or not, cleaning is chemistry. In other words, the cleaning products you use in your home are developed using our knowledge of chemistry (Note: While enzymes are used extensively in cleaning products they are studied in more detail in biology classes).

For your main post, think of a cleaning product and explain how it cleans – in terms of chemistry.

Example: Many cleaners designed to treat pet urine stains are simply bases dissolved in solution. Urine is acidic so a base will neutralize it. The typical products of an acid/base reaction are water and some type of salt. So the base (cleaner) reacts with the acid (urine) and produces water and some type of salt. After a short period of time we can vacuum up the salt and let the water evaporate. Ta da! The pet urine stain and smell are gone!

For your responses, do a little bit of research and find some interesting info on the cleaning product that your classmate chose. This could be some interesting history on the item, other uses for it outside of its “standard” use, etc.

Your main post should be at least 150 words.

In hospital floor nurses (p), does implementation of stress management (I) compared to non-stress management (c) reduce levels of burnout (o)?

/in /by

Using the attached articles on seven steps of EBP and Melnyk’s evidence-based ARCC (Advancing Research and Clinical Practice Through Close collaboration) model, develop a PICOT question (P-Problem/Patient/Population, I-Intervention/Indicator, C-Comparison, O-Outcome) focusing on a nursing clinical problem that requires a change in nursing practice, search appropriate databases (PubMed, CINAHL and others) for highest possible evidence, critically appraise the literature to elicit study quality and level of evidence, and finally synthesize the results as a recommendation report for changing nursing practice. Submit the project in a word document. The paper must include title page, abstract, outline, and reference list in APA format.

I NEED TWO DISCUSSIONS ONE FOR ME AND ANOTHER FOR MY FRIEND !!!!!

Discussion 3: Read: What Needs to be Done: Making Equity an Economic Priority, on pages 522-523 in your text. If you have the first edition this does not exist in your book so I have attached a pdf of those pages here for you.

Although austerity policies and programs are justified by debt, they often reduce support for education, health, and other social services. Alternatives described in your text include: strong political leadership to reduce inequalities, and the Redistribution with Growth strategy.

In YOUR opinion:

  1. Is it possible to promote social justice and reduce inequality through austerity policies and programs? Why or How?
  2. What are some pros and cons of the alternatives presented in the text (or others you may be aware of)?

Please write a minimum of 2 pages.

Utilize a minimum of 2 references (one for each question) to support your opinion. If you use quotes from the references you use cite their work.

Employee Turnover and Future Staffing Needs

A high employee turnover in any industry can be a concern, more so in those that are customer centered. Industries that deal with people’s health are in an even more precarious position. Healthcare organizations with high attrition must consider how a “revolving door” of care providers affects the quality of care the organization is able to provide and the satisfaction of patients with their overall experience. HR professionals are responsible for staffing positions, training employees, providing benefits, and handling any problems or disciplinary actions. The day-to-day responsibilities of managing the workforce can leave little time for long-range planning.

Tasks:

Post to the Discussion Area your responses to the following:

  • How does a high employee turnover rate impact the operations in a healthcare organization?
    Give examples of one clinical and one nonclinical position in your answer. For example, what is the effect of a high turnover among lab technicians and among billing staff?
  • What data may be gathered and analyzed to assess the reasons for employee turnover?
    What additional data might HRM gather?
  • What would you use for forecasting metrics for current and future staffing needs?
    Give an example of a particular healthcare setting (e.g., urban or rural, large or small hospital, or primary or tertiary care).
  • What best practices would you recommend for reducing healthcare employee turnover? Explain at least three such best practices and their positive affect on a healthcare organization.
  • Among clinical staff, would you target any particular age group for retention efforts? For example, would you make greater effort to retain younger staff for the organization’s long-term staffing needs or would you rather retain more experienced employees to improve the quality of care?

Provide reasons and evidence in support of your responses.
From the Internet, read the following:
Boyd, N., & Gessner, B. (2013). Human resource performance metrics: Methods and processes that demonstrate you care. Cross Cultural Management, 20(2), 251–273. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/13527601311313508

To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Your initial posting should be addressed at 300-500 words. Submit your document to this Discussion Area by the due date assigned. Be sure to cite your sources using APA format.

I need someone to do (( MATLAB )) !

/in /by

this is the assignment:

I need complete answers please pay attention to the questions listed!

302 is the recitation number. I’ll change the name

2B:

1. Create another script and name it FirstName_LastName_Rec#_MatLab2b.m and save it. Like with the template script from 2A, ensure that you have your name, 101 Spring 2019, recitation section, date, and a brief description of the script file as comments at the top of the file.

——————————-

2. You have measured the heart rate for 3 subjects of similar age, health, and fitness level before and after exercise. The results are stored in a matrix as follows:

The first column contains the heart rates of the subjects before exercise and the 2nd column contains the heart rates of the subjects after exercise. Each row represents a given subject. Example, row 1 contains the heart rate of patient 1 before and after exercise, row 2 contains the heart rates for patient 2, etc.

a. Create the matrix given above.

b. Using indexing retrieve the heart rates before exercise and store the result in a vector called BeforeExercise.

c. Using indexing retrieve the heart rates after exercise and store the results in a vector called AfterExercise.

d. Calculate the average heart rate before exercise using the command mean(BeforeExercise) and store the result in an appropriately named variable. You can do help meanto learn more about the mean function. Next, use the mean function to calculate the average heart after exercise and again store the result in an appropriately named variable. Display both values. Note, the variable names you choose should reflect what those variables are.

e. Which one is greater, average heart rate before exercise or the average heart rate after exercise? Give your answer as a comment in your script file. Write the value of both average heart rates in your comment.

Submit your FirstName_LastName_Rec#_MatLab2b.m file via your recitation by Monday 04/08 at 11:59 pm

please read the description for details.
