Choose only one option, either option 1 or option 2.

LAB Week 3 (Do one of the following two options; your response should be 1½ to 2 pages in length and double-spaced.)

OPTION 1 Week 3 Lab

For this third lab, use Google Earth (details on access below) to examine two archaeological sites from the following list of those mentioned in your textbook:

New World: Caracol, Teotihuacan

Middle East: Erebuni, Tell Brak

SE Asia: Angkor, Borobudur

Remembering your discussion of “site” from the previous Lab, write a description of what you can tell about the sites you selected based on a birds-eye view. For example, how large is the site (in approximate feet or meters)? What geographical features (such as rivers, mountains, etc.) are close by? Can you see or identify any features (stone walls, house pits, monuments, etc.) from the air? Be sure to indicate where your site is located (country or region as specifically as you can) in your answer.

A site I visited recently in Greece provides a good example of what you can observe using Google Earth imaging. In this case, the site boundaries are clearly defined and the partially-restored architecture dating back to 4500 BP is dramatically visible. The powerpoint slides for this week provide the views. To see for yourself, type in “Aphaea, Aegina Greece” in the Google Earth search bar (or in livius.org—see your Week 3 Lecture and other Module connections–go to country Greece and link “Aegina”).

Note: You may use Google maps if you can’t access Google Earth, but it may be less successful. In addition to Google Earth, the livius.org website has many historically-referenced sites which might be useful for this assignment. This webpage provides satellite images of archaeological sites from around the world. You can use this resource to identify an archaeological site that you could then search for in Google Earth, or to get a closer look at certain sites.

A few tips for using Google Earth:

  • Google Earth is available either as a desktop download, streaming web client (only available on Firefox and Safari), or mobile application. You can use any of these formats to do the assignment, and all are free. You can also use computers in labs on campus that already have this program downloaded.
  • Searching for archaeological sites in Google Earth is easy; once you have opened the program, simply type a specific archaeological site name into the “search” box.

OPTION 2 Week 3 LAB

Let’s think about how museums use the archaeological record. Is this the total picture of what archaeology is? See, as an example, the “Toronto Underfoot” online museum exhibit from the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum, Canada): https://www.rom.on.ca/en/exhibitions-galleries/exhibitions/toronto-underfoot (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.Answer the following questions based on the online exhibit:

  1. Note how the ROM uses its specimens in an online format. What kinds of artifacts are illustrated and discussed in “Toronto Underfoot”? What kind of information is provided about the objects?
  2. Review the video of visiting researcher Dr. Metin Eren at the ROM at the bottom of the page, then click on the projectile point near “Midtown Toronto” on the map. What did Dr. Eren find in the ROM exhibit hall that was a particularly important discovery, and why was it significant?
  3. How does the ROM make a connection for the viewer of the archaeological heritage to be found “underfoot” within the Toronto city area? How do they connect the prehistoric artifacts to people living in Toronto today?

quality improvement and leadership for advanced nurse practitioners

/in /by

This week you will be assigned to a group and be given a domain to develop/discuss applying all or some of the 7 core competencies. Group members need to assume AP roles (clinical and non-clinical) either by volunteering or being assigned by the group leader. A group leader must be decided and may be a nurse manager/nurse administrator, CNS, NP (maybe more than one and from different specialties), NI, and NE.CNLs and RNs may be also be part of the group scenario. All members are expected to demonstrate leadership knowledge and skills, but also must be willing to follow.Each group will demonstrate the core competencies and principals of transformational leadership in the group work. (See rubric).To ensure understanding of leadership styles, each group member will discover their own professional leadership style by an individual self-assessment online.Assignments and responsibilities should be equally assumed by group members.

How to Become a Better Leader

In conclusive remarks, search and agree upon a quotation from a library article related to leadership in an advanced nursing role and include with how it applied to your clinical decision/management issue of your assigned domain. Leadership journals from SOU Library areThe Journal of Nursing Scholarship or Nursing Leadership Forum or the American Journal of Nursing, Journal of Nursing Administration, Nursing Administration Quarterly, Nursing Management or Health Care Management Review

Health Systems: Daniel, a DNP prepared ED NP identified that patients seen in the ED for various reasons had undiagnosed HTN. He observed that the patient’s chief compliant was well addressed but the HTN was not. He has approached the hospital system about the problem and suggested an outpatient clinic adjacent to the ED to address the HTN and other coincidentally found problems. What AP roles, core competencies and support are needed to make this happen?

Topic 15: Collective Bargaining: Case Study 6-2 “Classification of a Bargaining Subject” page 285 Holley & Jennings – Chapter 6

The company and union have had a bargaining relationship for more than 20 years. On July 11, bargaining unit member Allan Engle was performing his assigned work duties of cleaning the bathroom on the second floor of the company’s administrative building when he glanced up and observed a camera approximately 6 to 8 feet away located in an air vent and pointed directly at him. Engle reported his discovery to three other bargaining unit members, including union steward Luther Hall, who went to the second floor bathroom in question and confirmed that the hidden camera was there. The following day the local union president was notified, but when she went to investigate, the hidden camera had been moved. On July 15, local union president Wanda Jackson was asked to meet with the company’s HR manager Susan Albright. Albright asked Jackson if she had heard about the camera that was discovered in the sanitation department’s restroom. Albright went on to say that the camera had been installed by the company because of a reported theft problem in that area, and that it was lawful as long as the company had a legitimate business reason for doing so. Albright stated that once the camera had been discovered and union members appeared irate over the issue, the camera was immediately removed by management. Local union president Jackson believed the company could have accomplished its theft investigation through less intrusive means, and the union did not approve of management’s invasion of employees’ privacy. The union sent a letter to the company, dated August 1, indicating that an internal investigation by union members had also uncovered hidden cameras being used in the employee’s physical fitness room. On August 16, Jackson sent a hand-delivered letter to HR manager Albright demanding that the company bargain over the subject of video camera use in the work place. The company refused to bargain over the subject, whereupon the union filed an unfair labor practice charge, alleging that the company’s actions violated Section 8 (a)(5) and (1) of the LMRA, as amended. The union argues that the use of surveillance cameras in the workplace for providing evidence of work-rule violations by employees, for which they could be subject to discipline or discharge, is clearly an issue that is germane to the working environment and job security interests of union members. Therefore, the union believes management has a legal duty to bargain in good faith, upon request, over issues such as the number and location of video cameras within the workplace. Other issues over which bargaining unit members might have an interest in bargaining include whether employees will be given prior notice that their conduct may be subject to filming; who will access to the video recordings made; for what purposes the video recordings may be used; and the circumstances under which the cameras can be required to be removed. The company essentially makes two arguments. First, the company believes it has an absolute right to engage in actions (like using cameras) to protect the legitimate business -related interests of the ownership. The company noted that it had for many years used 17 video cameras located both inside and outside company buildings to observe activity for protecting company property from theft or damage and to discourage other work-rule violations (e.g., drug use, sleeping on the job). These 17 cameras were in plain sight, and their existence had been known to the union’s membership for many years without any prior objection from the union. In recent years, 11 additional hidden video cameras had been installed inside the company to observe specific areas where employee misconduct was suspected. To require management to bargain in advance over the use or placement of such surveillance equipment would significantly reduce the effectiveness of this method of monitoring employee conduct on the employer’s premises. Second, management argues that even if the Board were to find that a duty to bargain existed, based on the circumstances in this case, the union waived its right to bargain over the subject of surveillance cameras. The company points to the length of time it has used video cameras without any objection by the union as evidence that the union has acquiesced in this practice and essentially acknowledged management’s right to use surveillance cameras for legitimate business reasons. The company acknowledges that the union has a right to file a contractual grievance over any alleged misuse or abuse of surveillance methods leading to a lack of just cause for disciplinary or discharge action against a bargaining unit member. However, the right to grieve a management discipline or discharge decision is not equivalent to a right to require management to bargain, in advance, over the right to use camera surveillance as a legitimate investigatory technique.

After reviewing this case study,

1. What is a mandatory subject of bargaining? (600 word minimum required for this question and a minimum of two scholarly sources cited, with proper APA standards for each answer).

2. Can a union waive its right to bargain over a mandatory subject of bargaining? (600 word minimum required for this question and a minimum of two scholarly sources cited, with proper APA standards for each answer).
