3. the questions raised,

4. the safety solutions recommended to improve the handling of the impact &

5. the ways to prevent the recurrence of the problem

Submissions will be checked for plagiarism.

All text should be in 12-point font, double-spaced and with 1 inch page margins. Run a spelling and grammar check before you submit your

As commonly defined, plagiarism consists of passing off as one’s own the ideas, words, writings, etc., which belong to another.

Data

HR managers may benefit from understanding the differences between the four types of research data. Some data are not quantifiable and other type of data may be numerical or parametric. Simon (2005) writes the NOIR definitions in a self-explanatory way as follows:

Nominal (name only) data, or levels of measurement, are characterized by information that consists of names, labels, or categories only. These data cannot be arranged in an ordering scheme and are considered to be the lowest level of measurement. There is no criterion by which values can be identified as greater than or less than other values. Researches cannot, for example, average 12 Democrats and 15 Republicans and come up with 13.5 Independents. We can, however, determine ratios and percentages and compare the results to other groups.

Ordinal (or ranked) levels of measurement generate data that may be arranged in some order, but differences between data values either cannot be determined or are meaningless. For example, we can classify income as low, middle, or high to provide information about relative comparisons, but the degrees of differences are not available.

Interval level of measurement is similar to the ordinal level, with the additional property that you can determine meaningful amounts of differences between data. The level, however, often lacks an inherent starting point. For example, in comparing the annual mean temperatures of states, the value of “0 degrees” does not indicate no heat, and it would be incorrect to say that 40 degrees is half as warm as 80 degrees. Grade point averages (GPAs) are also considered interval levels of measuring knowledge. If someone has a 0.0 GPA this does not mean that they have no knowledge.

Ratio level of measurement is considered the highest level of measurement. It includes an inherent zero starting point and fractional values. As the name implies, ratios are meaningful for this type of measurement. The heights of children, distances traveled, waiting times, and the amount of gasoline consumed are ratio levels of measurement. A special form of ratio-level measurement is the binary (or dummy) variable of 1.0. This code represents the presence (1) or absence (0) of a certain characteristic (p. 72).

The different types of data dictate the type of analysis. An example of nominal data may be the different positions of an organization or applicant flow. Ordinal data may be data that may be ranked in some order such as employee behavior that meets standards, does not meet standards, or exceeds standards.

By the mid-20th century, the United States had become the dominant force in
international relations. Some have argued that the United States’ military
functions as the world’s “police.” This assignment covers the manner in which
this shift occurred and the consequences the United States faces as a result of
its status as “policemen of the world.”

Begin by using the Internet and reputable news outlets to research two (2)
real-life international incidents from the past five (5) years in which:

• The U.S. used military action abroad.
• Controversy existed within the American public regarding U.S.
  involvement.
• Controversy existed within the country or countries affected by U.S.
  involvement

Note: The resources used above do not count towards your
three (3) academic sources in most cases.

To prepare for your upcoming research paper on this topic in week 10, please
briefly answer the questions on the attached chart located here. Download the chart to your computer, fill it out, and
then submit it under the assignment link in week 7.

For this assignment, you will be completing the following tasks on the
provided chart:

1. Write a thesis statement that is one to two (1-2) sentences long in which
   you:

• • State your thesis on the significance of the role of the US military as
    policemen of the world, particularly as exemplified in the two recent military
    incidents you researched. Justify your response.
    • Note: A thesis statement is usually a single sentence
      somewhere in your first paragraph that presents your main idea to the reader.
      The body of the essay organizes the material you gather and present in support
      of your main idea. Keep in mind that a thesis is an interpretation of a question
      or subject, not the subject itself. Please consult the Purdue OWL Website with
      tips on how to construct a proper thesis; the website can be found at: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/545/01/

1. List two to three (2-3) US military interventions from the past five years
   that you investigated that can be traced back to a foreign policy created after
   the Civil War.
2. List three (3) aspects of US history between 1865 and 1945 that led to the
   US’s rise as a world superpower policeman.
3. List three to five (3-5) international incidents since World War II where
   America has taken on a policing role.
4. List three to five (3-5) driving forces that fueled international policy
   decisions involving the international incidents you outlined previously.
   (Consider foreign policies, treaties, exit strategies, elections, wars,
   etc.)
5. Use at least three (3) academic references besides e. or in addition to the
   textbook. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic
   resources

This essay must be 4 pages double spaced, MLA format.

The essay requirements found in the attached files. You can only use Tim Wu book “The attention merchants” as a resource. And only provide one more source to support the argument, but don’t use it to much.

You must focus on the counter argument and thesis statement must be clear.

Examine the situation Wu describes at the beginning The Attention Merchants in which the Twin Rivers School District must consider whether it should allow a marketing company, EFP, to bring corporate advertising into the district’s schools. Then, construct an argument designed to persuade parents in the school district that the administrators of the Twin Rivers School District either should or should not accept this agreement. Keep the concerns of your own target audience in mind as you write. Explain and support your position through sound reasoning. You may also appeal to readers’ values or emotions. Make sure you provide some background information as well: describe the situation and suggest why it may be controversial.

Airport Rescue and Firefighting Services (ARFFS) and Local Authority Fire and Rescue Services (LAFRS) work together to provide and effective response to emergencies on and near airports.

Taking Birmingham International Airport (BHX) as your example airport, produce an airport response report for use by a fire and rescue service. This report will detail the following:

1. An explanation of the risk categorisation of airfields and the categorisation(s) of BHX;

(Explain the classification of airport risks and the classification of Birmingham Airport specifically)

(http://www.airfieldcharts.com/airportcategorisation.htm)

2. Details of the assets and capabilities of the ARRFS at BHX;

(Details of assets and capabilities (vehicles, equipment, training facilities, etc).

(Information on Birmingham Airport firefighting vehicles (in particular the “OshKosh” type) and training facilities available at the airport.)

(https://www.bhxfireandrescue.co.uk/about-us)

3. Details of the response of the ARRFS and WMFS to a major aircraft incident on the airport and off the airport;

(Details of the response of fire and rescue teams to an air disaster site inside and outside the campus)

4. Provide an outline of operational tactics for

a) an engine fire,

b) wheel fire and

c) fuselage fire in an Airbus A320 which will assist LAFRS firefighters to identify their potential role in such an incident.
