explain how Monteverdis LOrfeo and Caravaggios Calling of St Matthew were part of the old art system

/in /by

In his introduction to The Invention of Art (2001), author Larry Shiner argues that the modern art system is very different from an older art system that preceded it. On two pages, double-line spacing, explain how Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo and Caravaggio’s Calling of St. Matthew were part of “the old art system.” Be sure to provide the dates of the works when you first mention them. Where applicable, cite class readings to support your argument (for instructions on how to cite texts, see: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/2/).

Turn in an electronic copy of your paper to the Dropbox folder on the D2L website by 11:59 am on Friday 2/2.

Tips for a strong paper:

– Remember the 70/30 rule: 70% of your paper should consist of your thoughts and words; 30% of it should be textual support (quotations from class-assigned texts, where applicable).

– Unless otherwise indicated, an academic paper should be composed of an introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion.

– It’s always a good idea to write a strong outline before you write your paper. This will ensure that your paper is clear, well organized, and coherent. Remember that the more detailed your outline, the more easily the paper will get written.

– You may not use any material other than your word processing program, class notes, class readings, and this D2L website in any aspect of this paper’s composition.

Finally, note that the Dropbox folder will remain open until 11:59 am (just before noon) on Friday, February 2nd. This means that you must give yourself enough time to upload your file before the 11:59 am cut-off time. Late papers will not be accepted.

The data in the table below is from a study conducted by an

insurance company to determine the effect of changing the process by

which insurance claims are approved. The goal was to improve

policyholder satisfaction by speeding up the process and eliminating

some non-value-added approval steps in the process. The response

measured was the average time required to approve and mail all claims

initiated in a week. The new procedure was tested for 12 weeks, and the

results were compared to the process performance for the 12 weeks prior

to instituting the change.

Table: Insurance Claim Approval Times (days) Old Process New Process Week Elapsed Time Week Elapsed Time 1 31.7 13 24 2 27 14 25.8 3 33.8 15 31 4 30 16 23.5 5 32.5 17 28.5 6 33.5 18 25.6 7 38.2 19 28.7 8 37.5 20 27.4 9 29 21 28.5 10 31.3 22 25.2 11 38.6 23 24.5 12 39.3 24 23.5

Use the date in table above and answer the following questions in the space provided below:

  1. What was the average effect of the process change? Did the process average increase or decrease and by how much?
  2. Analyze the data using the regression model y = b0 + b1x, where y =
    time to approve and mail a claim (weekly average), x = 0 for the old
    process, and x = 1 for the new process.
  3. How does this model measure the effect of the process change?
  4. How much did the process performance change on the average? (Hint:
    Compare the values of b1 and the average of new process performance
    minus the average of the performance of the old process.)

The following resources may be helpful when completing this assignment and
are located in Week 4 of the course shell:

There are a number of frameworks that have been used for agile development
and project management. The purpose of this assignment is to discuss how
projects are planned and executed in SCRUM, Dynamic Systems Development Model
(DSDM), and Lean Software Development. Using real-world examples in your
assignment is highly desired. One way to do that is to relate any projects at
your workplace or from your research and think about how you, as a project
manager, would run the same project under those frameworks.

Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:

  1. Analyze the manner in which projects are planned and executed under the
    following frameworks and provide one (1) example for each:

    1. SCRUM
    2. DSDM
    3. Lean Software Development

Using the PICOT format, what clinical questions can you pose about your experience in clinical settings? Do not hesitate to let me know your questions as this is a tricky topic!

PICOT Format:

In _______(P), how does_______(I) compared to _______(C) affect _______ (O) within ______ (T)?

In this post we are going to develop our own PICOT which you might think about as a little nursing research question of your own. Choose a population that you are familiar with/passionate about, and that population might be nurses or patients. You will want to also tell us a little background about your topic and why you think it is important. Search the databases to find a good research study or two that helps you investigate this PICOT question. There are so many great topics for PICOT questions like bedside report, barcoding and medications errors, hourly rounding, self scheduling, skin to skin contact for infants, and many more. Keep in mind though that you will want to choose a nursing topic that you can accomplish without an order from a doctor. We want this to be nurse driven. Jump right in!

Once you have written you PICOT question, use the two articles you found for your Annotated Bibliography assignment.

Reporting Research Results

/in /by

Introduction

When you are setting out to perform research on a particular topic, a goal of your research must be to advance and expand knowledge. If social research findings, in particular, are not communicated to your target audience, then the effort is ultimately unproductive. Meaningful and successfully articulated presentation of research begins with drafting a formal plan for research. If an organization is performing the research, it may not have clear statements or ideas about its program goals. In these cases, researchers must work with agency staff to formulate mutually acceptable statements of goals before proceeding to effectively reach their target audience with their findings. Identifying the goal of the research being conducted is critical to ensuring that the research goals are focused and met, such as taking steps to learn policy goals when doing evaluation research.

For this discussion, use the Internet to locate two different examples of criminological research projects that have been completed. Then respond to the following in your main post:

  1. Describe how each study differs in its approach to reporting the research results.
  2. Explain to whom you believe the author (or authors) of each study chosen is reporting (that is, who is the audience?).
  3. Explore whether the predicted audience helped to shape the author’s approach to reporting the results.
  4. Analyze from a rating standpoint the overall quality of the research conducted and the effectiveness of the writing and data collected.
  5. Outline the improvements you would you make, if any, to the studies you selected.

Discussion Objectives

Information Technology Lendor Assignment

/in /by

I was wondering if anyone could help me with part of this assignment? It just needs to be a few slides, roughly 5. The Industry is ‘Information Technology’. The information attached is the information that needs to be used to complete the questions. I’ve attached the Pro Forma that includes the ratios, and December’s Balance Sheet, and Profit and Loss. THANK YOU! 🙂

Analyze the pro forma statements and analysis created in the previous
module and create a detailed PowerPoint presentation with speaker’s
notes to demonstrate why the bank should give your company a loan. The
amount requested and loan terms should be financially manageable and you
need to justify the amount requested in your presentation. Your
presentation should include:

  • An overview of the 12 Month Pro Forma Budgeted Income Statement created in the previous module with ratios.
  • An analysis of the year end income statement that includes key financial ratios.
  • An overview of the financial strengths and weaknesses of the
    company and an explanation of how those elements will be leveraged and
    minimized to ensure that the loan will be a good solid investment and
    financially manageable. Make sure to use financial ratios to support
    your argument and help sell this idea to the lender. keep in mind that the audience of this presentation will
    be the lender and that the goal of this presentation is to sell the
    Cloud Ware company as a good investment to the potential lender.
