Control is an important element in any type of research.

Considering experimental research, come up with a hypothetical research scenario and apply each of the five types of control to the scenario. Use specific examples to illustrate your point.

 

Environmental Scan

Posted on | by

Conduct an environmental scan and write an assessment in which you focus on both the internal and external factors that could affect your success within your chosen industry.Introduction
An environmental scan allows you to identify the trends (technical, social, political, economic, and so on), issues, and other factors that are most likely to affect a given industry, thereby helping you determine a strategy for dealing with potential changes.
After an organization has completed a SWOT analysis, it will carefully monitor both the internal and external environments to detect signs of opportunities and threats that could affect current and future plans. This environmental scanning can help an organization identify trends that are most likely to affect the industry, thereby allowing the development of a strategy for change. The right information, at the right time, can determine the future of an organization.
Note: Developing a strategic plan requires specific steps that need to be executed in a sequence. The assessments in this course are presented in order and should be completed in sequence.
Conduct an environmental scan in which you focus on both the internal and external factors that could affect your success within your chosen industry. Include in your scan responses to the following. Be sure to use the information from your SWOT analysis to explain how you will address both the internal and external issues.
Internal Factors: What specific things do you need to do in order to achieve the position you would like to have? In other words, what do you need to do to climb the corporate ladder in your industry?
External Factors: Examine the state of the current market or industry. What issues currently exist? How might these issues influence the future state of the industry? How will these issues affect your long-term and short-term goals?
To successfully complete this assessment, you may need to do some research on conducting an environmental scan. Format this assessment as a research paper following current APA guidelines for both style and citing sources, making sure that you also use correct grammar and mechanics. There is no required minimum or maximum page length; however, you should strive to be as detailed as possible in addressing each bullet point, while also being as clear and concise as possible.
Competencies Measured
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies:

The unlawful restraint of a patient can be a legal pitfall for the PMHNP. K.W. was found eating hamburgers out of a Mcdonald’s dumpster and drinking water from an old water hose. She had not taken a bath in weeks. She refused to live in an apartment because she wants to “live off the fat of the land.”

Changing the drug pricing game

Posted on | by

Many medicinal drugs come from natural resources such as plants, insects, corals, etc. One typical example is the synthesis of the commonly known as Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) derived from salicin the natural product isolated from the bark of the willow tree Salix alba L.

In this post you are required to:

PART A

Use Google Scholar to search for publications related to the topic. You can use either Plant based synthesis or Natural products Synthesis to start your search.

Select a paper that is related to the Synthesis of a Natural product.
Take some time reading the information provided and Indicate the name of the natural compound the natural resource for and the medicinal uses of the compound.
Use the name of the compound or the trade name to Search the chemical structure of this drug using MOLVIEW, MolView
take a screenshot of the chemical structure of your molecule and edit the image identifying and naming all functional groups.
Show the total synthesis scheme (If available) and Circle or highlight the steps of the synthesis you are familiar with (If any).
If available explain to us how many steps the synthesis involved and how long did it take the research group to make this drug.
NOTE: Please do not use Aspirin in your search.

PART B

Look at the video: Changing the drug pricing game

Respond to the following questions:

What is your stand regarding drug pricing and the solutions proposed by the author Dr. Peter Bach

· Describe the survey methods used by Gallup. (Describe in detail how the data was collected, and how the sample to be used was determined.)

· Interpret the margin of error presented in the article and construct the confidence interval based on the margin of error. (Identify what the margin is in your study according to the poll results given. Construct the interval as illustrated above.)

· What confidence was used in the article? (This should be stated somewhere in the article.)

· Do you think the confidence level selected was appropriate? Why or why not? Offer your opinion based on the consequences of being wrong, and how confident you need to be based on those consequences.)
