Note: Several films are listed in Chapter 4 as emblematic of a specific genre. You are allowed to choose a film or genre not mentioned in Chapter 4, but you are strongly encouraged to email your professor to receive approval before doing so.

Option #1: Evaluating and assigning to appropriate funds

Part A:

Newport City established the following activities after it was founded: General fund, Governmental activities, Enterprise fund, Internal service fund, Enterprise fund, and Permanent fund. Assign the following transactions to the appropriate activity and explain why you assigned the transaction to the activity.

• Cash was transferred from the General Fund to establish a central duplicating internal service fund in the amount of $30,000 in cash and $350,000 in equipment with accumulated depreciation of $80,000.
• The city’s General Fund was billed $140,000 for water and sewage by the utility fund. By the last day of the year, the entire amount was paid of the utility bill.
• The internal service fund billed the city’s general government function $16,300 for duplicating services and the city’s utility fund for $9,200 for services.
• A purchase order of $28,000 was created by the general government function for computer equipment.
• A payment voucher was approved for $26,200 upon receipt of the equipment and the payment was made.

In Investigation: Correlation Is Not Causation, you will have an opportunity to show your understanding of the concepts and apply them to claims presented in an article. This chapter provides you with some low-stakes opportunities to practice course concepts and earn points for the Soomo Chapter Activities. Types of questions include multiple-choice questions, poll questions, and open-ended questions (short answer and response board). It is recommended to complete the Soomo Chapter Activities first in this module, complete your initial discussion board post, work on your Soomo Action Plan Activities, and submit your discussion board responses.

• This activity is automatically graded, and points are delivered to the Grade Center as you answer questions in the webtext. You can expect the points you have earned to be delivered to the Grade Center about 10 minutes after you complete your webtext session.

The Lab for Ecology (LFE) is being established as a joint initiative
between the centers of Architecture and Ecology sciences to unite
researchers across multiple fields in the development of transformative
systems for the built environment. LFE purposefully prioritizes the
requirements of living ecosystems towards the development of innovative
methods for buildings and cities that support biodiversity with clean
energy, water, and materials. Taking a unique approach, LFE leverages
the ongoing explosion of knowledge in life sciences and information
technology to fundamentally re-inform the built environment process,
which is currently the sector responsible for the largest consumption of
toxic, non-renewable resources and greenhouse gas emissions globally.
Alongside our partners in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction
(AEC) Industry, LFE seeks to address the complexity of transitioning
global construction patterns by uniting deep expertise of current
practices with radically new socio-economic and technical approaches.
LFE is purposely putting the scientific inquiry of living ecosystems
behaviors of the forefront of the research and development of
transformative built environment systems.
LFE fosters a culture of collaboration given the complexity of our built
environment to understand the influence on our health and wellbeing. We
are strictly committed to an interdisciplinary approach to deepen our
understanding, advance our research and to accelerate the process from
ideas to tangible solutions in habitability and energy consumption.
Our research focuses on applied technology in the following themes of:
• SOLAR
• WATER
• AIR
• MATERIAL
• DATA

Hello Class,

First of I will tell you what I do. I am a Field Service
Technician for Caterpillar. I work on large machines and diesel engines. The
first characteristics that comes to mind in being organized. Being organized is
very important. If you are not you wont know what machines are down or what
machines go to which customer. Its the same with parts, you will lose them or
bring them to the wrong job. Now impinge taking apart a engine you must
be very organized. I think these are important to my personal imagine, because
who wants someone who can keep there bills paid. The second one would be
punctual. If you cannot show up on time that cost the customer money. Also a
job needs to be done in a certain amount of time. This is very important time
is money in the world. No one wants to wait for someone who is always 1 hour
late to dinner. The third and final is Communication and I personally think
this is the most important for anyone in anything. If you don’t have this then
your world will spin out of control. In fact the whole world will. Customers
need to know what is going on. The parts department needs to know what I need
to get the machine running again. My boss needs to know what jobs I have
finished and where I am. I could not imagine being in a relationship with
someone who couldn’t communicate. It would be like texting to someone all the
time who doesn’t text back.

Thank you

Hi everyone,

In the health field, I think having a professional image is very important. The
first characteristic that one should have in order to present that image is
communication skills. You need communication skills in this field because
throughout the day you interact with many people from doctors to patients. Your
communication with a doctor will be much different than that of a patient
because you usually need to use a different language. Another characteristic
would be to be efficient. Because any healthcare facility usually has a lot
going on, it is important to do the multiple jobs you will have in a timely and
efficient manner to make sure your patients are kept comfortable. The last
characteristic would be, in my opinion, to dress professionally. Although there
are many things in a person’s character that gives them a good image, actually
dressing in an appropriate and professional manner helps to make that image.

Joint commission standards focus on the importance of quality
health care. It evaluates healthcare organizations to improve their
performances of the healthcare providers. New standards are added to
guarantee the safety of their patients. CARF standards identify what
needs to be done to improve provider services in areas such as Behavioral
Health, youth services, and rehabilitation services. UMLS,
called Unified Medical Language System, is a set of files and systems that
bring standards between computer systems. It links terms such as billing
codes, medical terms, and health information between doctors, pharmacies and
insurance companies. HL7 standards determine how medical information
is delivered from one system to another. The standards are in seven
categories. They are :

Section 1: Primary Standards

Section 2: Foundational Standards

Section 3: Clinical and Administrative Domains

Section 4: EHR Profiles

Section 5: Implementation Guides

Section 6: Rules and References

Section 7: Education & Awareness

Hello All,

The Joint Commission is an independent, not-for- profit
organization and they accredit and certify around 21,000 health care
organizations in the United States. Their mission is to improve health care and
be doing so, they evaluate health care organizations and helping them provide
safe and the highest quality of care possible. The Joint Commission standards
are created from health care professionals, subject matter experts, physicians,
and government agencies. Commission on Accreditation of Rehab Facilities (CARF)
provides accreditation services all over the world when requested by the health
and human services providers. It’s also nonprofit accreditor and provides
services in areas such as aging services, behavioral health, employment and
community services, child and youth services, and opioid treatment programs.
CARF is intended to help promote the quality and value of outcomes of services
through a accreditation process and continuous improvement services that helps
better the lives of people served. Health Level Seven (HL7) is another
nonprofit ANSI- accredited standards who provides the framework and related
standards for integration, exchange, retrieval, and sharing of the electronic
health information. The goal of HL7 is to make sure everyone can securely
access healthcare data when they need it and to improve the care delivery.
Additionally, it helps with optimizing workflow, enhance knowledge transfer for
all stakeholders. Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) integrates and gives
important technology, classification and coding standards (NIH, 2018). It’s
purpose is to promote creation for more effective and interoperable biomedical
information systems and services which include electronic health
records. All of these standards have similar standards in making care
safe, effective, and continuing to provide the highest quality of care
possible.

Thanks,

Katie
