Has the power of the President of the United States as Commander-in-Chief exceeded constitutional boundaries and should those powers be curtailed, given the constant state of war we find ourselves in?

Very few would argue with the claim that the President’s role as Commander-in-Chief is the greatest formal power that a president possesses. Yet, in the Constitution, only Congress has the authority to formally “declare war.” Presidents for the last 60-70 years have openly stated that they do not need Congressional authorization to use the military to pursue America’s interests on the global stage. As proof, America has not formally declared war since WWII. So, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghanistan, and now Syria have all been military exercises, but not wars in the Constitutional sense.

Has the power of the President of the United States as Commander-in-Chief exceeded constitutional boundaries and should those powers be curtailed, given the constant state of war we find ourselves in? Or should the President’s military powers continue to expand to address the growing chaos in our world, despite the Constitution or in congruence with the Constitution? Explain your answer.

Your initial discussion postings (250-300 words) should demonstrate an understanding and analysis of the assigned readings and video. It may be helpful to reference the assigned material in your response demonstrating connections between your thoughts and the course resources

Factors Influencing EHR Implementation-Discussion

An integrated electronic health record (EHR) combines patient care records and enhances communications with all major components of hospital care including laboratory, radiology, nursing at patient care units, and discharge planning. The Institute of Medicine declared in 1999 that medical errors were responsible for up to 98,000 unnecessary hospital patient deaths. Enhanced communications can help reduce medical error.

Considering the advantages of an integrated EHR, why would an informed physician have any opposition to computerizing hospital-level care? Put yourself in the position of a health information manager. Explain in your words, one advantage for improving care, to help convince those questioning the value of such a system.

Listen to what another author says about marketing channels and supply chains.

What other types of firms might be part of the supply chain? Explain your answer.

Instructions: respond to Two of your peers’ post

NOTE: The video refers to “Chapter 15.” That is a reference to an older text. The topics of marketing channels and supply chains are actually addressed in Chapter 13 of the 11th edition of our text.

————————————————————————————————

STUDENT 1/The video was very informative and helped me better understand the supply chain in a better way. A marketing channel is people in a firm involved in making a product for good use. What is a supply chain? A supply chain is a system where different organizations come together to have a finished product. There are also different types of functions performed. Functions such as transactional, logistical, and faciliating function. And also different types of channels such as a direct channel and the indirect channels. The indirect channels has retailers, wholesalers that go to retailers, and then agents who go to wholesalers then to the retailers. Organizations that might be part of supply chain are big organizaitions like Pepsi they have many different ways on how they sell their products. Also, there are different types of channels such as electronic, direct, and multichannel. These different types of channels helps the company advertise their product well and get it out to people. Electronic is used on the internet and makes it easier for the buyers. This video made it very clear explaining what the marketing channel does and how it is very useful for companies. And also made it more clear how the companies get the cusomers to buy their products.

————————————————————————————————

Student 2/The video goes into detail about the different parts of a marketing channel and a supply chain. A marketing channel is the people, organizations, and activities necessary to transfer the ownership of goods from the point of production to the point of consumption. A supply chain is the sequence of processes involved in the production and distribution of a commodity. THese process help raise the customer value score by making sure the distribution of a company product or service is efficiently reaching the consumers.

Other types of firms that might be in a supply chain is a candy store more, more specifically “Its Sugar” candy store. Though they do not produce their product in house they have a detailed distribution and supply chain. First at the factory they must produce or create the product. This can be a multiple of different factories because of the many different products they have.Then after it is packaged and sealed it goes to the warehouse for storage. The productis then purchased by ‘Its Sugar” then distributed to its smaller store. Once those products arrive it is placed on the shelves for consumers to purchase. Any excess products is then placed in store at the “Its Sugar” store until shelves need to be restocked.

​Métodos Físicos para el Control de Microorganismos

Realiza una discusión de los Métodos Físicos para el Control de Microorganismos

Los métodos físicos se utilizan a menudo para lograr la descontaminación, la desinfección y la esterilización microbiana.

CALOR: La exposición al agua en ebullición durante 10 minutos es suficiente para destruir células vegetativas, pero no es suficiente para destruir endosporas. No esteriliza. La eficacia del calor como agente antimicrobiano, se puede expresar como el Tiempo de muerte térmico (TMT), que se define como el tiempo más corto necesario para destruir los microorganismos en una suspensión, a una temperatura específica y en condiciones definidas. Sin embargo como la destrucción es logarítmica no es posible eliminar completamente los microorganismos de una muestra. Existen diversos métodos de control de microorganismos por medio del calor:

a. Esterilización por vapor (calor húmedo o autoclave):El agua es llevada a punto de ebullición de manera que el vapor llena la cámara, desplazando el aire frío. Cuando todo el aire es expulsado, se cierran las válvulas de seguridad y el vapor satura toda la cámara, por lo que incrementa la presión, hasta que se alcanzan los valores deseados (121°C y 15 lb presión). En estas condiciones se destruyen todas las células vegetativas y endosporas en un tiempo que por lo general es de 15 minutos. Se piensa que el calor húmedo degrada los ácidos nucleicos, desnaturaliza proteínas y además alterar las membranas celulares. Si no se cumplen las condiciones adecuadas, no hay esterilización. Para controlar el buen funcionamiento del equipo, se pueden incluir con la esterilización un control biológico o un indicador químico. El indicador biológico consiste en una ampolla estéril con un medio y un papel cubierto con esporas de Bacillus stearothermophilus o Clostridium. Luego de la esterilización se rompe la ampolla y se incuba por unos días. El indicador químico consiste en una cinta especial con letras o líneas que cambian de color después del tratamiento suficiente con calor.

b. Pasteurización: Se utiliza para sustancias o medios que no pueden ser calentadas a más de su temperatura de ebullición. Un calentamiento breve a 55 o 60°C destruirá los microorganismos patógenos y disminuye los causantes de la descomposición de la sustancia. NO esteriliza. Existen variaciones que son utilizadas en la industria de la leche: la pasteurización rápida (HTST high temperature short-term) que consiste en calentar a 72°C por 15 segundos. Y la pasteurización a temperatura ultra elevada (UTH ultrahigh temperature) que calienta a 140-150°C por 1 a 3 segundos.

c. Tindalización o esterilización fraccionada al vapor: se utiliza para químicos o material biológico que no puede llevarse a más de 100°C. Se calienta a una temperatura de 90°C a 100°C durante 30 minutos por tres días consecutivos y se incuba a 37°C entra cada calentamiento. El primer calentamiento destruye células vegetativas pero no esporas, por lo que germinan a 37ºC y luego son eliminadas con el siguiente calentamiento.

d. Calor seco: Se utilizan hornos o estufas a una temperatura de 160-170°C por 2 o 3 horas. Es menos efectivo que el calor húmedo, pero no corroe utensilios metálicos. Es lenta y no se puede utilizar para material termo sensible.

e. Incineración: Destruye por completo los microorganismos. (calentar las asas en los mecheros).

f. Temperaturas bajas: Refrigeración y congelación, son únicamente bacteriostáticos. En general, el metabolismo de las bacterias está inhibido a temperaturas por debajo de 0° C. Sin embargo estas temperaturas no matan a los microorganismos sino que pueden conservarlos durante largos períodos de tiempo. Esta circunstancia es aprovechada también por los microbiólogos para conservar los microorganismos indefinidamente. Los cultivos de microorganismos se conservan congelados a -70° C o incluso mejor en tanques de nitrógeno líquido a -196° C.

g. Desecación: Es de efecto bacteriostático y las esporas permanecen viables.

FILTRACIÓN: es utilizada para materiales termosensibles.

a. Filtros de profundidad: Se utilizan materiales fibrosos o granulados que forman una capa gruesa con canales de diámetro muy pequeño. La solución es aspirada al vacío y los microorganismos quedan retenidos o son adsorbidos por el material. Se utilizan diatomeas, porcelana no vidriada, asbestos.

b. Filtros de membrana: Son circulares con un grosor de 0.1 mm y con poros muy pequeños, de unos 2 μm por lo que los microorganismos no pueden atravesarlo. Se fabrican de acetato de celulosa, policarbonato, fluoruro de polivinilo u otros materiales sintéticos.

RADIACIÓN:

a. Ultravioleta: Es letal para todas las clases de microorganismos por su longitud de onda corta y su alta energía. Es letal a 260 nm ya que es la longitud de onda que es más efectivamente absorbida por el ADN. El mecanismo primario del daño al ADN es la formación de dímeros de timina lo que inhibe su función y replicación. Son escasamente penetrantes y se utilizan para superficies.

b. Ionizante: Niveles bajos pueden producir mutaciones e indirectamente resultar en la muerte, niveles altos son letales. Específicamente causan una serie de cambios en las células: ruptura de puentes de hidrógeno, oxidación de dobles enlaces, destrucción de anillos, polimerización de algunas moléculas, generación de radicales libres. La mayor causa de muerte es la destrucción del ADN. Es excelente esterilizante y con penetración profunda en distintos materiales, por lo que se utilizan para esterilizar materiales termolábiles (termosensibles) como jeringas desechables, sondas, etc. No se utilizan para medios de cultivo o soluciones proteicas porque producen alteraciones de los componentes.

Strategy/Action Plan for change in school

Scenario: You are working in a school where you see several opportunities to improve an aspect of the organization that could support their mission. Since you are taking this class and learning about leading change, you decide to focus on one problem area that could help the school to improve and write a strategy/action plan that will lead to planning for organizational changes in subsequent weeks in this course. 

Note: The problem you identify for this week’s assignment should be a problem/change that is significant enough to continue to plan for throughout this course. The problem/change that you choose should be related to the mission and vision of your organization and if addressed through your planning in this course, could improve the outcomes of your school or organization. 

Part 1: Your plan should discuss contextual information to describe your school. Discuss the followng in narrative format:

– Describe the organization and your role in the organization

– Describe the mission and vision of the organization

– Discuss the change your feel needs to occur to improve your school or a problem you feel needs to be solved

Part 2: Create a chart similar to the one provided below  to determine possible strategies an dactions that could address the problem. Discuss a minimum of three strategies and two actions per strategy (total of 6  actions). Additionally, include who would be responsible for specific actions, a general timeline, and ideas for tangible evidence and measurable results for each action. 

This assignment should be 2 to 4 pages in length and use APA format and an introduction and conclusion paragraph. Use at least 2 additional.

SHORT PAPER 4

Short Paper assignments must follow these formatting guidelines: SINGLE SPACING with a blank line to separate your paragraphs. Provide a subheading in BOLD for each paragraph on a separate line that characterizes the content of that paragraph. There would be at least 4-5 separated paragraphs in your paper. Use 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, with discipline-appropriate citations. Word length requirement: 600-800 words.

Based on the text (pages 127-157) and the article, Reducing Racial Disparity in the Criminal Justice System: A Manual for Practitioners and Policymakers (page 5-20 only) answer the following:

The first two sections are: Commonly Identified Causes of Racial disparity in the Criminal Justice System and Manifestations of Racial Disparity at Key Decision Points in the Justice System. Read both sections and then select one and discuss the key points. Explain why you agree or disagree with the article. Support your opinion.

Unit 3 – Individual Project – Project Budget and Resource Management

2 files: MS Project file and Word or Excel file for RASCI matrix

Now that you understand project scope of work, estimated project schedule, and key milestones, it is time to come up with project resources, budget estimation, and different responsibilities for the resources. Based on the same project from Unit 2, using MS Project, add project resources into the Project file. The estimated budget for different resources should be added to the Project file as well.

  • Identify different project resources (costs, materials, work) in the Project file.
  • Assign human resources to the tasks in your chosen project. Use job titles and roles for the resources rather than names. For example, potential human resources could be programmers, electricians, and carpenters.
    • If you are using the IT project scenario, you will need workers to add the software to the computers. You will also need people to perform all of the other tasks in the project.
    • If you are using the construction project scenario, you will need workers to frame the building. Other workers will conduct the other tasks.
  • When you have determined all of the resources needed for the tasks, assign these resources (costs, materials, work) to all of the tasks in your project.
  • Roll over the overall project budget estimation based on individual costs for different tasks in the MS Project file.
  • Create a RASCI (responsible, accountable, supportive, consulted, and informed) matrix based on different project resources in a Word or Excel file.

Shot term wins and don’t let up

The Company is Telecom

Explaining the short term wins you can facilitate for your team. Use the exercise on page 138 to compile the first portion of Part 7, answering the questions provided in the exercise. You may find the area at the end of Step 6 under the “Create Short-Term Wins” header helpful in reviewing the key points of what to do and not do when setting short term goals. Be sure your paper touches on the key elements of each as they pertain to your organization.

Next explain what you will do to help ensure your change efforts don’t fade when you have accomplished your goals. How will you help prevent burn out? How will you help maintain the change once it’s implemented? You may find the area at the end of Step 7 under the “Don’t Let Up” header helpful in reviewing the key points of what to do and not do when not letting up on the change effort. Be sure your paper touches on the key elements of each as they pertain to your organization.

an annotated bib

I need to finish an annotated bib that I dont feel like doing about Neoclassical furniture. I included some guidelines given by the professor.

“To select something to write about you will have to research the topic “deep” enough to find relevant sources. Select 4 sources that inform the topic, read the sources. The completed ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY is to be structured in MLA format, typed (8 1/2 x 11 size sheets) double spaced, and submitted in a plain presentation pocket folder, labeled with your name, LSUID#, and course no. At the upper right hand corner of the cover.

“Each annotation should include three (3) paragraphs; a summery, an evaluation of the text, and a reflection on its applicability to your own research, respectively. Each paragraph should be 80-90 words.”

Thanks, I look for to quality work on neoclassical furniture. Let me know if you have any questions.
