Discussion Assignment Instructions

The student will post one original thread of 400-450 words of the assigned module. For each original thread, students must support their assertions with at least 2 scholarly citations from peer-reviewed journals in APA format. Any sources cited must have been published within the last five years. Acceptable sources include course texts, other scholarly texts, or peer-reviewed journal articles.

Before you post, be sure to read carefully the Discussion Board Assignment Instructions and review the Discussion Grading Rubric, so that you understand the specifics and details of what is required. A very large part of your grade will be determined by how well you fulfill the instructions and grading rubric requirements.

Also, please note that direct quotations are not allowed; graduate level writing expects a student to incorporate ideas and terminology from the readings into the student’s own analysis and words. Short Bible verses are ok to quote directly.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              ee your manual for when to use italics in journal articles. Also, drop the place of publication in Levers as APA-7 doesn’t do that anymore.

Discussion Thread: Assessment in Trauma Counseling

Discuss the nature and role of assessment in trauma counseling. Compare and contrast different methods of assessment discussed by Briere & Scott and Levers, (Chapter 26) or other approaches that you are familiar with, identifying strengths, weaknesses, challenges, and benefits for treatment.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Text books:

Case Study on grievance processing

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

There are differences between employer, employee and union rights in grievance processing.  An employer cannot proceed with interrogation unless a union steward is present to advise its member.  Neither the union or nonunion employees are entitled to legal counsel during an employment investigation with the employer.  Employee is entitled individual rights and fair representation.

Individuals have a vested right to use the grievance procedure through arbitration if they choose

Individuals should be entitled to process grievances for discharge, seniority and compensation cases, and

  • The union as a collective body should have freedom to decide what constitutes a meritorious grievance and how far the grievance should be pursued.
  • A review of Supreme Court decisions on fair representation has extracted the following Six Principles:
  • Employees have the right to contract terms enforced to their benefit

An employee has no right to insist on his or her personal interpretation of a contract term

No individual can require a union to process a grievance to arbitration but each should have equal access to grievance procedures

  • Settlement on the basis of personal motives by union officials constitutes bad faith
  • The individual should have a grievance decided on its own merits, not traded for other grievance settlements
  • While the union is entitled to judge the relative merit of grievances, it must exercise diligence in investigating the situation that led to the grievance
  • This week you are to pick a Supreme Court decision on fair representation and discuss the Supreme Court case decision as it applies to fair representation. Include in your discussion some of the six principles. You may start your search for your case by going to: https://www.supremecourt.gov/Links to an external site.

Student Advocacy and “Sweatshop” Labor: The Case of Russell Athletics

/0 Comments/in /by

Question

Using the Six Steps of Decision-Making framework from this week’s content, please develop an essay responding to the following questions related to the case study Student Advocacy and “Sweatshop” Labor: The Case of Russell Athletic (p. 109).

Recognize decision requirement: What are the factors to consider in a corporation when deciding to outsource labor to developing countries? Include the following:

Diagnosis and analysis of causes: If labor outsourcing to developing countries is a legitimate business strategy, how can it be handled without risk of running into a sweatshop scandal?

Development of alternatives: What are other countries doing to avoid, reduce or eliminate sweatshops?

Selection of desired alternative: Decide on alternatives for outsourcing for companies in developed      countries, including whether or not to maintain or implement the same high labor standards and regulations as in the home countries.

Implementation of alternatives: Which alternatives would be best for outsourcing for companies in the United States?

  1. Evaluation and feedback: Have your recommendations been implemented in other countries? Are they working? What has been the outcome? 

In this course, you will have six Critical Thinking assignments where you will respond to assignment questions to develop an essay. Essays have an introduction (to the topic of the assignment), a body (where you will integrate your responses), and a conclusion (your thoughts on the assignment). Please do not just answer the questions as is. It is best to use APA (7th ed) headings to capture the essence of the questions as a way to make sure you have integrated all of the responses in your essay. Also, make sure you are using an APA (7th ed) paper template as a starting point. 

Policy Brief

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

Hey Francis, my prof added these comments to the policy brief you helped me with, please take these into account when making your revisions, I want all points to be fixed accordingly :

“This would be 85%. See comments below as you work on submission 2.

Title page should be completed or removed.

Policy brief is a little long, so as you revise work to ensure that your points are as concise as possible.

More in-text citations are needed. A number of key points remain uncited. One example is that population growth is a cause of lack of access to clean drinking water. Correlation does not mean causation, so find a source to use as evidence.

There are also some sections with few citations.

Add date (2024) for source of charts based on the WB database. Give charts a chart number. Chart on p. 5 lacks source.

How has access to clean water changed over time (longer period) in Uganda?

.You discuss consequences of the issue in the beginning and end of the background section;

I recommend reorganizing so consequences are together. You may find it interesting to differentiate access to basic vs. safely managed drinking water, since the WDI database provides both for Uganda.

In terms of background information, where are people getting their drinking water from?

What does infrastructure have to do with the issue?

For all programs: when was the social enterprise founded?

Program 1: Are the sales exclusively for drinking water and the other facilities are free? Is the water only by ATM or are there more delivery systems? Or is everything pay-per-use? Any information re: cost? Is this a for-profit social enterprise?

Program 2: we need Uganda-specific data.

CSC 261: Computer Organization and Assembly Language

Spring 2024

Assignment 2

Question 1 (20 points):

(a) Find the range of unsigned decimal integers that can be stored in a dword.

(b) Find the range of signed decimal integers (smallest to largest) that can be stored in

2’s complement form in a dword.

Question 2 (20 points): Perform the addition operation, giving the sum in hex using the

same number of hex digits as the original two operands; State whether or not overflow

and carry occur; Interpret the operations as 2’s complement signed and convert the

problem to the equivalent decimal problem; Verify that the signed interpretation is

correct when there is no overflow; Interpret the operands as unsigned and convert the

problem to the equivalent decimal problem; Verify that the unsigned interpretation is

correct when there is no carry.

2A 44 + D9 CC

Note: See chapter 1 slides. I did a bunch of questions similar to this.

Question 3 (20 points): Instructions are the same as in Question 2 but repeat them for 5E

+ 4B.

Question 4 (20 points): Consider the byte length 2’s complement representation and show

that FF is -1. Now consider the word length 2’s complement representation of FF FF and

show that it is also -1.

Question 5 (20 points): We learned how to take the 2’s complement of a number by

subtracting it from an appropriate power of 2. An alternative method is to write the

number in binary (using the correct number of bits for the length of the representation),

change each 0 bit to 1 and each 1 bit to 0 (this is called “taking the 1’s complement”),

and then adding 1 to the result (discarding any carry into an extra bit). Show that these

ENGL 1040 Reading Literature: Coming of Age

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

Purpose
The purpose of this essay is to explore the novel Paper Towns by paying attention to the story’s use of literary devices. Writers will use their own opinions and reasoning, coupled with research, to craft a meaningful commentary on the novel.

Content
Writers may choose one of the following prompts for their essay:

1. Watch the film version of Paper Towns (20th Century Fox, 2015) and compare and contrast the book with the movie. Writers may consider differences or similarities in theme, characters, plot, or other elements. Ultimately, the essay will decide which genre is most effective in getting the message of the story across, and how meaning is changed with the difference of genres.

2. Discuss the genre of Coming of Age literature in general, by using scholarly research that explores or defines this genre. Writers will then use Paper Towns as an example, showing how the novel highlights or challenges aspects of the genre.

Format
This essay should be between 3-5 pages (double-spaced, size 12 font) in length. Writers may choose to use either MLA or APA, but must pick one and cannot blend the two.

All essay prompts will use Paper Towns as a source, and additional research will be required depending on the prompt used. All essays must use at least three total sources: Paper Towns + a minimum of two additional sources.

Writers may choose the types and content of sources they feel best support and/or add background to their ideas. Writers should take care to find high-quality, verifiable sources. Scholarly sources are highly preferred (and in the case of prompt 3, they are required). The JSTOR database (jstor.org) is recommended.
