question 4 (A)

Topic 1: Using the Best Approaches to Treatment
   
Describe why it is so important for behavior analysts to use the most current research findings when treating a client? How does staying up to date connect to the BACB ethical guidelines? Name three sources (websites, journals, etc.) where you can find the latest research in your field. From one of these sources, provide a brief discussion of a recent development or innovative treatment approach which was published within the past year.

nursing paper

/in /by

I need the second half of my paper fixed I have to turn it in by tomorrow afternoon I will provide an article and the format it needs to be in and will provide the paper that was turned in PART B DID NOT PASS!!! Here are the instructions AND notes from the teacher:

B. Evaluate a primary qualitative research peer-reviewed journal article (suggested length of 3–5 pages) that has healthcare implications by doing the following:

1. Identify how the researcher addresses the five following areas of the selected journal article, using the attached “Evidence Table”:

• background or introduction

• review of the literature

• discussion of methodology

• data analysis

• researcher’s conclusion

2. Critique whether the evidence presented in each section of the journal article supports the researcher’s conclusion.

3. Explain the protection of human subjects and cultural considerations of the journal article.

4. Identify strengths and limitations of the study.

5. Describe how the evidence informs nursing practice.

C. Acknowledge sources, using APA-formatted in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.

Qualitative- and also subtypes- most often case study, others are grounded theory, phenomenology, and also descriptive subtypes.

Use the readings in module 3, chapter 6, to help you understand different methodologies researchers use.  Read your article as the researchers should tell you the methods they used to research their questions. Identifying research types and subtypes is a big concept.
 

Data Analysis
 
How did the researchers analyze the data collected?  Did they explain it enough for you to evaluate for external or internal validity? What statistical testing was used?  What analysis was discussed?  For quantitative studies examples include T-Test, ANOVA, Logistic Regression, Linear Regression, Chi-Square or descriptive statistics like frequencies, prevalence, and rates or incidence.  For qualitative studies the data is interviews or focus groups and the data is coded for themes and then analyzed based on the subtype.  If it is qualitative descriptive the sample is small and the subjective responses of the participants are usually reported without coding or analyses.
 

Conclusion
 
What are the conclusions of the researchers; do they make sense to you as a clinician?
 

A & B 2

Based on your analysis of the five areas in the table, assess whether the evidence presented in the research report supports the conclusion.

Begin by paraphrasing the author’s conclusion in a sentence; then, discuss how each of the first four sections of the research report described in the table (1 sentence each) supports the author’s conclusion (section 5).  Approximately 5 – 7 sentences total should be enough.

Hints:

Can these researchers make the conclusions that they made? Would anything else explain their results? Are there any other plausible explanations for their conclusions? Remember, you will want to justify your answer. Give a full paragraph on why or why not the evidence in the first four areas of the research paper supported the conclusion in section 5.

B 3

Identify the ethical principles that the researcher should have addressed prior to the study.  For example, what considerations should the researchers have addressed regarding informed consent, privacy, confidentiality, etc. for the specific subjects in the studies you chose to critique.  (1 – 2 paragraphs)

B 4

The strengths and limitations refer to the study design, not to the procedures or interventions being studied in the articles.  Consider things like sample size, level of research, quality of research, sampling strategy, and study design.  Also, consider what the author has stated in the last few sections of the research report regarding strengths and limitations.  (1 – 2 paragraphs)

B 5

Please discuss how the results of the study you selected impacts nursing practice.  (1 – 2 paragraphs)

Include a reference page and in-text citations where appropriate.

I need someone who can help with my questions.

Part I: For this assignment, you will compose your own piece of short creative writing (e.g., poetry, short story, song, etc.) and present this writing to the class. This piece of fiction must fit within one of the themes outlined by the course (i.e., sexual identity; health, family & the HIV/AIDS Epidemic; gender performance; and transnational LGBTQ) and must in some way explore the issue and/or experiences of sexuality/sexual identity (as they have been discussed throughout this semester. Use the following parameters to help you craft and shape your short piece of writing:

1. Poetry (no more than 3 typed pages): your poem can be written in any style you choose, and you are free to play with language as is appropriate, though intelligibility should not be compromised

2. Song (no more than 5 minutes, when performed): your song can be composed in any style or genre you choose, but must be accompanied by written lyrics

3. Short Fiction (no more than 10 typed, double-spaced pages): your piece of short fiction can be in any genre you choose, but must be a work of fiction—even if its events are inspired by actual occurrences or situations. During your presentation, you will only read a short selection from your work—taking no more than 5 minutes

4. (Creative) Non-Fiction (no more than 10 typed, double-spaced pages): Your piece of creative non-fiction must be a work pulled from your own personal experiences (either your own or those of someone with whom you have had close, personal contact). During your presentation, you will only read a short selection from your work—taking no more than 5 minutes

5. Script/Drama/Performance (no longer than a 5-minute performance worth of material): as with the other genres, you are free to select any style or genre. Additionally, you can use material from either personal or fictional experiences, or some mix of the two

For Part I, you may either work individually or as a group (of no more than 3 people). You will need to present your piece along with a discussion during which you explain your intentions in and with the piece, your thoughts about the piece, and your thoughts on how the piece fits into the class and the discussions we have had over the semester.

Part II: In addition to your piece of creative writing, each of you will need to compose and submit a narrative in which you not only discuss the piece you have created but also reflect on how the process of writing this piece has helped you better understand the positions of the authors discussed in the class—and the class topic as a whole. If you work in a group, your reflection should also include a detailed discussion of your contribution to the group (e.g., what you worked on, etc.). In your reflection, be sure to also address and clearly answer the following questions:

1. How has writing this piece impacted how you think of sexuality/sexual orientation as it relates to gender and other social experiences?

2. How did the prospect of sharing your work impacted how you presented your materials and experiences (e.g., caused you to rethink certain language, caused you to clip or alter the presentation of certain experiences, etc.)?

3. How does thinking about the first two of these questions help you better understand the experiences of the authors and materials discussed in the course?

Evaluation: For this assignment, your reflection will be worth 80% of your grade, and will be evaluated on the following criteria, among other things (e.g., adherence to the mechanical specifications outlined below):

1. The degree to which you have included the requirements outlined above

2. The clarity, conciseness, cohesiveness, and criticalness of your discussions

3. The accuracy and criticalness of your reflection on the course, class discussion, and course materials

4. Your command of grammar, the mechanics of writing, spelling, diction, syntax, etc.

The creative portion counting for the remaining 20%, and will be evaluated on the following criteria:

1. The clarity/intelligibility of the piece’s alignment with one of the course’s themes

2. The originality/inventiveness/creativity of the piece

3. The cohesiveness and clarity of the piece itself (i.e., does it make sense?)

4. Your command and use of grammar, the mechanics of writing, spelling, diction, etc.

This scale is to remove as much pressure from your creative endeavor as possible.

Submission: You will submit both your typed creative piece and your written narrative as two separate Word files. Be sure that each file is titled accordingly so that it is clear to identify which file is which. Files must be submitted as .doc or .docx files, and must be uploaded to Canvas no later than 11:59 p.m. on the due date, in order to receive a grade.

Mechanical specifications: Be sure that each document is formatted using the following specifications:

1. Typed and double-spaced, in 12-point, Times New Roman font (with no extra spaces between either the heading and the body or individual paragraphs)—THIS ONLY APPLIES TO THE WRITTEN NARRATIVE

2. 1-inch margins on all sides

3. Includes proper heading, typed in the top left corner (do not use the header function for this information): Your name; Instructor; Course; and Due Date

4. MLA formatted in-text citations and Works Cited page (if applicable)

5. Saved and uploaded to Canvas as a Word document (.docx or .doc)

( I need a simple presentation and when you choose a topic please write something I can speak for 5 minutes when I present)

Decision-making in Human Services, assignment help

/in /by

Some human service professionals will view the ethical standards and rely on them as a rigid set of rules. Other human service professionals will view them as a model for ethical decision-making. According to Kitchener (1984) there are four moral principles that human service professionals should use while making difficult ethical decisions. The following prompt will give you the chance to consider these principles further.

In a well-organized essay of 2-3 pages, please define and describe each principle, providing at least one example.  Then, evaluate the importance of the principle and suggest how you might use each principle in your own career. Then, reflect on your evaluation and determine whether you believe these principles should be a rigid set of rules or used more as guidelines for decision making.

Short Paper on Descartes

/in /by

In his celebrated “Dream Argument,” Descartes maintained that we should not trust any test that purports to distinguish dreaming from waking states. For any test you can think of, Descartes argued, you can never know whether you actually performed the test (and so have in hand useful test results) or whether you merely dreamed that you performed it (and so do not have any test results — the test never took place because you merely dreamed that you performed it!).

Your assignment this week is to apply Descartes’ argumentation to the “pinch test,” according to which if you pinch yourself hard right now and feel a sharp stab of pain then you know that you are awake. Please be sure that your essay addresses the following:

  1. What would what would Descartes conclude about the reliability of the pinch test?
  2. Exactly why would he conclude this?
  3. Do you agree with Descartes’ reasoning and conclusion? Why or why not?

Please ensure that your essay addresses each component of the assigned questions and that your answer is well-organized, uses excellent, college-level prose, and makes judicious use of textual evidence. Your essay should be 600-900 words long.

I will not pay any prices exceeding my budget range.

Quantitative Article Reviews

Quantitative Article Reviews Assignment Instructions

Select two articles from the list below and in 1-2 pages single-spaced (per article) address the following:

Include the full reference for the article using the writing style specific to your program on the title page. International Relations,

Note which style you are using within your assignment.State the main goal(s) of the study

Summarize the research design, and discuss the research method(s) used to answer the research question or assess the hypothesis.

Summarize the results of the study.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the study’s research design.

Provide a discussion on how the study can be moved forward.For example, how can the methods be used in your own research proposal? In what other research might these methods apply?Include two well phrased research questions that could be used in follow-on studies to the one reviewed.

Format:You should have 1-inch margins on all 4 sides of your papers; your title page should include your name and date; you should use 12-point times new roman font throughout.

Things to keep in mind:

Avoid using the first person in formal writing and instead write with an academic voice throughout. Academic voice is usually written in the third person (he, she, it), not first person (I, we) or second person (you). Be consistent in voice and person. See Grammar Girl, “First, Second, and Third Person,” Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing, January 20, 2011, http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/first-second-and-third-person.aspx/. Furthermore, the academic voice avoids abbreviations, contractions, jargon, and slang. Even informal academic discussions are more formal than causal chat among friends.

The body of your work should be made up of no more than 20% direct quotes.

As you proof read your assignment I encourage you to work with Belcher, Wendy Laura. 2009. “Editing Your Sentences” In Writing Your Journal Article in 12 Weeks: A Guide to Academic Publishing Success. Sage. This resource has a nice step by step process for enhancing your writing.
