Signature Assessment / Apple Inc

Posted on | by

 

Business managers are often responsible for the financial transactions and planning for a company. In Week 1, you selected a Fortune 500 company or another company you are familiar with. This company will be referred to as “your company” or “the large company you selected in Week 1.”

As the new business manager working for the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of your company, you want to review historical financial information to be fully informed of your company’s business valuation so you can provide guidance on near future financial decisions. You decide to put together a presentation on your company’s financial performance that assesses the cash flow, valuation, and KPIs for financial stability that you will present at the next management meeting. Your ultimate plan is to write a financial plan that will lead to future company growth.

Assessment Deliverable
Using your selected company and research from Week 1, create an 8- to 10-slide presentation to assess the company’s financial growth and sustainability.

Identify 2 key performance indicators.
Relate the stock price to price-to-earnings ratio.
Explain the market capitalization and what it means to the investor.
Identify trends in stock price, dividend payout, and total stockholders’ equity. Relate recent events or market conditions to the trends you identified.
Determine, based on your analysis, whether you think the organization is going to meet its financial goals, describe the outlook for growth and sustainability, and explain why you do or do not recommend this stock for purchase and how your recommendation compares to that of other analysts. For example, if your suggestion is buy, you need to explain why other analysts say sell.
Cite references to support your assessment according to APA guidelines.

 

 

Research designs and data collection

Posted on | by

 

 

With a developing understanding of research designs and data collection
methods, you can now begin to understand the concept of qualitative
data analysis and select an appropriate data analysis method. This
week, you will demonstrate your understanding of qualitative data
analysis methods, as well as the appropriate application as prescribed
by qualitative research principles. This assignment includes several
prompts, and there is an option regarding presentation (essay, set of
blog posts, or PowerPoint presentation). As with Week 3, in line with the
principles of Andragogy, offering you a presentation choice will
accommodate your individual preferences and abilities.
This week, you are provided with an explanation of how to structure a
presentation (Spotlight on Skills). Remember, slides are visual aids to
support what you would say during a presentation. This resource will
help you to compose your slides in a way that effectively balances
visuals and text. You are also provided with an explanation of how to
create a blog entry (Spotlight on Skills). Note that a blog (shortening of
“weblog”) is a set of online informational posts, with a writer
communicating their views on a subject in a conversational manner.
Blogging is typically used for teaching and educational purposes.
You have covered a lot of material these past 4 weeks. Now, you have
an opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge of qualitative
methodology and designs through a true/false knowledge check.
Correctly answering all of these quiz items will earn you a badge!
For this week’s assignment, you will consider a data analysis method
that aligns with the qualitative research design for a potential study that
you proposed in Week 2. Address each of the following four prompts as
an essay, series of blog posts, or presentation:
■ Explain your proposed method of data analysis in detail, and how
this method aligns with your chosen research design.
■ Discuss what you see as the advantages and potential challenges
of the proposed method.
■ Explain how you will code data, by providing examples to illustrate
your analysis process. Based on your topic and research design as
explored in Week 2, develop a mock coding scheme that includes
a preliminary set of start codes. These codes can come from the
relevant literature on your topic, or you can come up with some
ideas based on your own experience.
■ Whether you choose to engage in a manual coding process to
analyze your research data or to use NVivo (the data analysis
software that is available to you through the University), there are
some features regarding coding and analysis that are common to
both approaches. Explain in what ways you think manual coding
and software coding will be similar and/or different? State your
preference, explaining the reasons for your choice.

HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT RESEARCH PROJECT OVERVIEW

Posted on | by

Healthcare organizations, and the management thereof, in the twenty-first century face numerous

Choose one (1) of the following six (6) topic areas as the main topic of your final paper and
expand on the topic by focusing on the twenty-first century healthcare environment (a current
issue or current/future challenge) based upon knowledge of current literature and industry best
practices:
1. Healthcare Marketing
2. Quality Improvement in Healthcare
3. Advances in Healthcare Information Technology
4. Financing Healthcare
5. Physician and/or Nurse Labor Shortages
6. Addressing Health Disparities

Anxiety and depression are the most common disorders among old people

Posted on | by

 

Anxiety and depression are the most common disorders among old people, later in life depression often hits as one thinks about their past and remember things that used to be, and the prognosis is usually long-term and can be chronic with higher relapses than with younger people (Afshari et al., 2019). The risks are higher for older people to have depression if they are isolated, have a chronic illness, and are lonely, those that have high family support, as well as income stability, often are less of a risk.

When it comes to younger adults there are other factors that can be used to help determine risk, such as biological and psychological factors, this too can be used for older adults as it would be age-related. Younger people can also feel depressed with loneliness, and they are at the most risk.

When comparing depression between elderly and younger people, it seems that depression is mainly caused by the mitigating factors of one’s life. Older adults tend to have symptoms of agitation, hypochondriasis, gastrointestinal issues, reduced guilt, and loss of sexual interest; research studies with elderly and younger people using information from RDC, ICD-9, ICD-10, DSM-III, DSM-III-R or DSM-IV criteria, on average older people often had more severe depression and when it came to psychotic depression both age groups were affected severely, younger people had more guilt (Hegeman et al., 2018).

When research studies used the Duke Depression Evaluation Schedule for the Elderly and Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale there was found to be similar phenomenology in depression for those over 60 years of age versus those less than that age, but overall research suggests that older adults are depressed more often than that of their younger counterparts (Hegeman et al., 2018).

When a person drives, they need to be able to react quickly to avoid a situation such as an accident. Someone that has dementia may not be able to react quickly enough which causes accidents where people are hurt or in some cases die. Dementia is a severe neurocognitive disorder it affects about 50 million people globally the most common disorder is Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which is neurodegenerative dementia; cognitive functions that are needed for driving are decreased when a person has dementia, and one must pay attention when driving and when someone has dementia these functions are impaired (Falkenstein et al., 2020).

So anyone that has dementia or AD should not be driving. They should lose their license and their right to drive.
