You have just been appointed to assist the new court administrator for a medium-sized court system with approximately 75 employees and 5 full-time courts. This is a new position for the courts. In the past, each individual court has primarily managed itself, except for the employee-hiring process, which was completed through the County Human Resource Division. Upon taking your post, you quickly find out that none of the courts seem to be willing to cooperate with each other—or, for that matter, any of the other various county offices, such as the County Clerk’s Office and the District Attorney’s Office. Rumors and gossip about mismanagement abound, and the communications process between the five courts appears to be at a standstill. The courts currently have a huge backlog of cases awaiting trial, and in addition, employee morale is low and the turnover rate is high. The new administrator has asked that you form a team to brainstorm ideas on how to address these issues.

Special Considerations

In 4–6 pages, address each of the problems listed below, with proposed solutions. Be sure to support your viewpoints from your readings and other appropriate outside sources. Identify problems that should be addressed, and propose solutions to those particular problems. Discuss how you would respond to these organizational problems and the following points:

• Which problem should be addressed first, and exactly how should it be addressed?

• How would you respond to the employee morale problem?

• How would you respond to the turnover problem?

• What techniques could be employed to improve communications throughout the organization and to create a more harmonious work environment?

• What method or tactic would you use to reduce the backlog of cases awaiting trial?

ANOVA, Regression and Correlation Paper

Describing fundamental statistical concepts and the interpretation of these statistical applications for an appropriate design selection and accurate statistical analysis is a critical skill for doctoral students completing a dissertation. Reviewing some prior doctoral dissertations helps to hone these analytical skills and capabilities.

For the weekly assignment, the basic guidelines will help to complete the criteria for the paper:

Locate two or three prior doctoral dissertations that use either a correlational or regression methodology(US-based & business related)

Review Chapters 1 and 3 of the selected dissertations and identify the distinctive design elements that pertain to the particular correlation or regression design. The use of statistical applications should be evident in an overview of the nature and scope of the dissertation research study in Chapter 1. More relevant details and applications are explained in Chapter 3 of the dissertation.

Assess the design, major statistical concepts, applications, and methodologies.

Select one of the dissertations for the completion of the paper.

Write a 3 page paper that includes a synopsis of the research design and methodologies.

Describe how major statistical concepts were applied in the context of the research study and the administration of the selected dissertation.

Analyze the major features of the correlation or regression design itself and explain how the applications fit the selected model. Did the hypotheses include sufficient testing to respond adequately to the research questions? Provide justification for the response.

Explain any potential gaps in the research study. Gaps include variables or elements that are pertinent to the study topic or context of the study setting, but appear to be missing or minimally studied in the research. Gaps might also include any expansions or extensions to the original study context that might make the outcomes more meaningful.

Draw conclusions about the overall research study design elements and the overall effectiveness or validity of the outcomes.

Include references on both the method/design features and the relevant content. Include in-text citations in the narrative of the text and the reference list at the end of the paper. For the reference list, include only references that are included in the text (not all references that are reviewed).

1. Go online and search for project life cycle models. Identify at least two that are different from the PMI model, and compare and contrast the phases. Be sure to cite your sources.

2. Software project decision point.

1. You need to determine an interest rate to use—select an interest rate and explain why you think this number should be used. Use it in your calculations in item 1.2.

2. Given the information below on options 1 and 2, carry out three forms of analysis: breakeven, ROI, and NPV.

3. Make a recommendation on which way to proceed, based on the TCO for each option.

• Option 1: Purchase the FunSoft package: Cost $200,000 for software and $85,000 for hardware in year one; with $50,000 to customize it and a $40,000 annual licensing fee for the life of the contract. There will be an annual saving of $61,000 due to the layoff of a clerk.
• Option 2: Purchase the SoftComm package, which will operate on the vendor’s hardware: Cost $250,000 for a five-year license, payable half up front and half during the first year of implementation. The maintenance contract, at $75,000 a year, includes all currently identified modifications to the software for the first three years. The clerk’s hours will be cut by half, for a saving of $25,000 a year.

Federalism involves the question of how government should be divided, and more specifically, when there is a conflict who should get to decide the outcome (National government or state or local governments). Please choose an issue that is a federalism issue (e.g. legalization of marijuana, sanctuary cities, educational standards, etc.) and respond to the following.

1. Explain fully the issue you’ve chosen (you can pick from the list above or come up with your own- there are a lot). Do not simply state what issue you’re looking at, explain the controversy to me with data (e.g. if you’re looking at marijuana you should include background about states that have passed laws legalizing it and what the response of the Justice Department has been over time and what it is currently).

2. How does this issue represent a challenge to federalism (i.e. what is the federalism issue)?

3. What are the arguments of the state/local governments (why should they get to decide this issue)?

4. What are the arguments of the federal government (why should it get to decide this issue)?

CAREFUL: This assignment is about federalism, not the underlying issues the parties are disagreeing about. So if you write a paper about legalization of marijuana for example, the focus of your paper should be about who gets to decide this issue, state governments or the federal government. Dealing with the pros and cons of legalization of marijuana would be appropriate in explaining the positions of the state governments and the federal government but that is just one section of this assignment.

CAREFUL #2: Don’t let your biases influence this assignment. Both state and federal governments generally have good arguments for why they prefer to make decisions in a particular area. So, for example, even if you’re a hardline anti-immigration policy person, you need to explore why states and local governments may have chosen to be sanctuary cities (what are their arguments for doing so (e.g. what are the costs and burdens of complying with ICE?).

Evaluating and Managing Integumentary Conditions

This course will require you to complete a series of case studies using the i-Human software application. The i-Human Patients (IHP) Case Player enables you to interact with virtual patients for the purpose of learning patient-assessment and diagnostic-reasoning skills. With IHP, you will be able to independently interview, examine, diagnose, and treat virtual patients and receive expert feedback on your performance.

The integumentary system is susceptible to a variety of diseases, conditions, and injuries, ranging from the bothersome but relatively innocuous bacterial or fungal infections that are categorized as disorders to skin cancer and severe burns, which can be life-threatening.

For this Case Study Assignment, you will examine your first case study and work with a patient with an integumentary condition. You will formulate a differential diagnosis, evaluate treatment options, and then create an appropriate treatment plan for the patient.

To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider how to assess, diagnose, and treat patients with integumentary conditions.
• Review the i-Human Patients Case Player Student Manual found in this week’s Learning Resources to familiarize yourself with how to use the i-Human software.
• Access i-Human from this week’s Learning Resources and review this week’s i-Human case study Krista Hampton V5.1 PC PL. Based on the provided patient information, think about the health history you would need to collect from the patient.
• Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be most appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition.
• Reflect on how the results would be used to make a diagnosis.
• Identify three to five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.
• Consider the patient’s diagnosis. Think about clinical guidelines that might support this diagnosis.
• Develop a treatment plan for the patient that includes health promotion and patient education strategies for patients with integumentary conditions.

Assignment

As you interact with this week’s i-Human patient, complete the assigned case study. For guidance on using i-Human, refer to the i-Human Patients Case Player Student Manual in the Week 1 Learning Resources.
