Hello,
I need help with the paraphrasing the ethics and case study
The second part I need you to do 2 comments, each one 2-3 lines enough
Thank you in advance and let me know if you have any questions
I have to write a 2-4 page paper On ethics/code of conduct. I have questions that need to be answered. I have a sample of the paper to give you an example of what she is looking for
Why we care about tax stuff
1. How would an organization demonstrate that it has a “charitable purpose”?
2. Explain why the organization must avoid “private inurement” to retain its exempt status.
Just 1 paragraph for each question.
a. What is color layer sequence, and why is it important in paint analysis?
b. What is a fiber, and what are the major types of fibers?
c. What is denier, and what does it measure?
The following is the ORIGINAL Discussion Thread: Discuss the key benefits and strategies of coding. What are the potential dangers to avoid while coding interviews?
First Student: John
O’Leary (2009) warns the qualitative researcher that efforts to reduce observations to meaning are intricate and complex and threaten the richness of the data collected. Cautioning students of the discipline that given the wide array of data analysis that has developed, they frequently spend a great deal of time trying to determine the best path forward, haphazardly select a methodology, press on without a well-defined method, or an assortment of each of these to properly code their data. Qualitative researchers attach a different meaning to the word “code” than other disciplines, according to Glesne (2016). Glesne stated that qualitative researchers use the phrase code to describe the process of placing similar pieces of information discerned from research into categories for further analysis. Hopefully, the researcher will be able to identify themes, patterns, and processes from this analysis and discover links between these pieces of information. To avoid confusion, some commentators refer to coding in this context as indexing, though Glesne does not, as it deprives the value of linking concepts of great importance in the process. Viruru and Rios (2021) define coding as breaking down into useful chunks of information, which can now be done through computer software programs.
Knowing what coding is does not lend itself to understanding what strategies might be in play for its deployment. Mock and O’Connor (2022) suggested the strategy of emergent coding when confronting a large task. Emergent coding allows the codes to arise from frequent data reviews, which the researchers evaluate before establishing codes. The predominant strategy of coding, relying on pre-set codes the researchers impose on the data at the outset of the project, risks the misclassification or overlooking of a critical category that could have been observed with patience. Emergent coding requires the researchers to conduct several iterations of the data before settling on coding categories. Allen et al. (2017) stated that emergent coding allows for categorization only after the researcher has examined the data through an iterative process. Busetto et al. (2020) laid out two main strategies for qualitative research, each resulting in the necessary coding of the data. Regardless of the strategy pursued, they explain that there is a strong preference for two researchers to engage in the coding process. This is especially true at the beginning of the coding when useful parameters for each category have not yet been fully developed. Frequently, the common meaning for each code matures during the process.
Campbell et al. (2013) recognize that the reliability of results remains an issue for qualitative researchers. There is a great risk that different coders, raters, and observers will come to different conclusions. Intercoder reliability remains a challenge in many interview-based projects. Cheung and Tai (2021) agree with this analysis and believe that researchers must better explain their coding techniques and transparency in their processes to combat this problem. Ryan (2009) endorses that greater transparency in the qualitative research process should relieve some of the stress regarding the reliability of the observations and coding that supports the project.
Christian Worldview
Scripture directs people to be curious. The unknown world is God’s glory, and kings are to uncover it (King James Bible Online, 2007, Proverbs 25:2). I believe a modern trope exists that Christians reject science. If this is true, this is odd to me. God expects people to study his great works (King James Bible Online, 2007, Romans 111:2). Understanding qualitative research methods is consistent with this theological direction.

2) Timothy,
At this point in the course, we have shaped research questions, run trials to see if they are viable, examined ethics in research, and conducted an observation. Most of the activities thus far have revolved around the collection of data. Now it is time to start analyzing that data. Given the nature of open-ended questioning needed for qualitative research, there is a range of responses. Once the data is collected, the question remains of how to interpret that data. Inevitably there will be themes present and many respondents will have similar answers. One way to interpret the data is through coding. Coding done by people is a way to inductively find common themes or ideas from individual survey responses (Miner et al., 2023). There must be a way to decipher the information obtained.
The process of coding varies by the researcher. As the process is not typically published, coding is not subject to scrutiny. Somewhat like taking notes. However, coding is necessary to help decipher data. Coding is an accepted method for qualitative researchers that involves breaking down data into much smaller narratives that are easier to decipher (Viruru & Rios, 2021). The process can be done manually or using software. I use the Leeds Method which develops relationship clusters when researching genealogy. Genetic genealogy research is time-consuming and can be difficult. It is necessary to investigate the ancestors who are related to each other in hopes of determining the most recent common ancestor between two individuals linked through a family tree (Erturk et al., 2022). That method involves color codes which help to demonstrate lineage graphically. I plan to use a similar method to group qualitative responses. Also, each response may fit more than one theme, so I plan to group by theme while allowing for overlap or even agreement between respondents on multiple factors.
Analyzing qualitative data has numerous decision points. The researcher must decide how to code responses and which factors to use. At many points during the research process, the researcher may look to the Bible for help. The Bible says, “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision” (King James Bible, 2017/1769, Joel 3:14). The researcher is in a place somewhat like the valley of decision.
Although this post may portray coding as being a difficult and daunting task, it is intended to assist the researcher and to make their analysis of the data better and more accurate. Such a system is needed to decipher the data, draw conclusions, and ultimately make recommendations. Inevitably, there will be themes that the researcher will find, and documenting those themes can become important to portray the topic that is being studied.

A manager of an emergency response team is responsible for emergency management services and resources. Their duties include routinely planning for responses to incidents that require communication with law enforcement agencies at multiple levels. For a city to host sizeable events, it needs to establish working relationships between agencies to execute incident response plans successfully.
Emergency management is not the sole responsibility of one individual government or private organization. The federal government and each state, along with its different counties and cities, share the responsibility for planning, managing, and responding to disaster events within their jurisdictions. Private sector organizations also play a vital role in augmenting government agencies during disaster recovery. When these organizations come together to manage an emergency, a standard is required to ensure that each organization works effectively with the others and has a shared understanding of key terms and response options for managing incidents effectively. FEMA established the National Incident Management System (NIMS) to standardize how personnel from multiple agencies plan and work together during and following an emergency incident.
Scenario
A city in your state of residence is planning to host a concert that is expected to bring in several thousand people for the event. City planners will be managing the security and emergency services during the concert and will be meeting with the other agencies involved to finalize the plan for the event. Before they do, they have asked local agencies to present their plans for responding to different incidents that may occur. As the manager at your agency, you have been tasked with presenting information on a specific type of incident for the city to consider during their emergency management preparations.
Preparation
Select a real city in your state that might host such an event. You may select a real or fictitious concert to use as an example, or you may focus on planning for a general concert situation.
Select an example of an incident likely to occur during the concert. Choose an incident with a realistic risk level that justifies having a city-level emergency response plan ready. Research standard procedures for responding to this kind of emergency incident.
Examples of realistic incidents include fights or riots, crowd surges or stampedes, active shooters or terrorist attacks, bomb threats or detonations, or fire or structural failures.
Select a real or fictitious agency that would be responsible for handling the type of incident you selected. Research the protocols that such an agency is likely to follow in this situation.
Prepare a plan for responding to the type of incident you selected as if you were presenting to the city’s emergency service planners who will be managing the security and emergency services for the concert.
Using information from your research, create a 10- to 12-slide presentation as if you were an agency’s emergency planning manager explaining the relationships between governmental organizations using effective emergency management to respond to an incident that might occur during an event.
Summarize the details of the example situation and incident that you selected. Identify the government agencies involved in managing emergency services for such an incident during this kind of event.

In this briefing we are going to look at how we use technology in a corrections setting.As you listen to the briefing, try to identify technology that will improve the effectiveness, efficiency and safety of staff and inmates.Briefing 2: Technology in Corrections
Video Player
Narrator: Welcome class, this week our assignments gonna call for us to look at how we use technology in a corrections setting. And again, we’re gonna look at a real life application of how we use technology in corrections. It’s very commonplace for correctional facilities to have outside consultants come in and do an assessment, and identify potential problem areas of liability or danger to the staff or the detainees there. So, what we’re gonna do is look at one of these actual briefings and some of the specific problems that were identified. And what I want you to keep in mind when we look at these problems is, from the textbook and the things we discussed in class, what type of technology could we use to address those problem areas?So, consultants have recently identified four major issues that effect the efficiency and safety of our operations here at the correctional facility. And we’ll go over them one by one and what I’m tasking you to do is to come up with solutions that we can address these areas.The first one we looked at is prisoner transportation to and from court appearances. I know that’s one of the toughest things we have to do, we have to transport prisoners from our facility across town to court, and a lot of times it takes at least two officers per transport so we have to pull them, we have to address the staffing issue. And sometimes the courts have delays, so they’ll end up sitting and waiting, hearings will get moved and bumped around, or the prior hearing may go long. So, it was very inefficient, it’s very inefficient the way we’re doing it now with having our corrections officers physically put them in a car, drive them over to court, babysit them there until the court sees them and then bring them back and have to rebook them back into the facility. So, that was the first issue that was identified that I need you to find a solution for.The second one is contraband detection and prevention. We saw in our facility, we all know there’s no way we’re gonna completely prevent contraband from coming into a correctional facility, but what I want you to do is go out there and look at what’s available, what can help us out. Because the two biggest forms of contraband coming in here have been cell phones and small packages of drugs, so what’s available out there that can help us get ahold of this and still allow us to maintain the efficiency of our operations.The third area of concern that was identified was access control. Some of ya may have been around as long as I am where access control was a big ring of jingling keys that you ran around and stuck in the doors and slid them open and closed. And since then, we got into electronic locks and different things, but even still, there’s better ways out there. We want you to look at how can be improve getting people in and out, how we can improve the movement of the people inside, and how we can make sure that these access control methods that we’re implementing and things that we use, also increase and enhance the safety for our staff and for anybody else that’s here?And that brings us to the fourth one which is probably the most important. It’s officer and staff safety. Lately, we’ve seen an uptick with some of the staff being assaulted by inmates, there’s technology out there, there’s availability out there that can maybe lessen the impact or help us avoid some of this. So, I want you to go out there with the mindset of what can we look at that will make it safer for everybody that walks into these doors?Now, our goal is to identify technology that will improve the effectiveness, the efficiency, and the safety of our staff and inmates. So, what I want you to do is take a look at those four problem areas we talked about, and go out there and use your resources, and give me some solutions that’ll help us address those and make this a better operation.

Short answers (250 word max each) and 2 multiple choice questions.
1.Lawyer, representing Owner in the sale of a 50-year-old house, tells Buyer that “this house is in top condition,” knowing that the chimney needs repairs and that cracks are beginning to form in the plaster in some portions of the walls. Is this ethical (and why)? What if Lawyer instead says, “you won’t find a nice older house like this in better condition for this low a price,” knowing that there is a very similar house down the street in better condition being offered for a lower price?
2. An attorney represented a shopkeeper who was trying to sell his business, and was approached by an interested buyer. The attorney told the potential buyer that she believed the opportunity to purchase the business would be brief because the business was being offered at a very low price. In fact, the attorney believed that the business was priced too high, and that the shopkeeper would have difficulty selling it for that reason. Was the attorney’s statement to the potential buyer proper?

When preparing for a crime scene reconstruction consideration must be made concerning the types of evidence you are using to come to the conclusion that you are basing the reconstruction on. Real evidence for physical evidence is the best source of producing a reconstruction. The relevance of the physical evidence must be established. For example, it a shooting reconstruction was done based on a ricochet off a wall that struck the victim the angle of impact from the wall where the bullet initially impacted and struck the victim will allow you to determine the line where the shooter stood when he or she fired and hit the wall. The problem is if the line is unobstructed evidence must be located that helps establish where the shoot was when he or she fired. On that line stemming from the wall a cartridge casing will be significant. Shoe impression along the line may be from the shooter or it may be anyone who happened to walk there before or after the shooting took place. So the cartridge casing is likely to be ejected from the shooters weapon and give the reconstruction team an idea of where the shooter was when he or she fired. The footwear impression may or may not be that of the shooter so it is circumstantial even though it is a physical artifact and should be collected.
Crime scene reconstruction can be done by setting the scene up with personnel playing the roles of suspect, victim, and witnesses. It can also be done by placing crime scene dummies in locations for the same people. The more modern method is using a LASER scanner that videos, charts, and measures the entire scene and be used to reconstruct the scene in a white room.
Scenario: Tim and Rhonda just got engaged. They are having a small gathering to celebrate at a local restaurant called the Dew Drop Inn. Rhonda had finally gotten her divorce from James who had been very abusive both physically and emotionally. They have no children. Dinner was finishing up about 8:00 PM and the party was moving into the bar. Out of the blue, James showed up at the restaurant bar and accused Tim of being the reason that Rhonda divorced him (James).
A fist fight broke out when James tried to grab Rhonda and Tim interceded. James grabbed a beer bottle and smashed Tim in the head. Tim pulled out a compact pistol and placed it directly against James’ chest and shot James dead with a single bullet through the heart. Tim grabbed Rhonda and ran from the restaurant, where they jumped into his 2014 Red Honda Civic and drove to Rhonda’s apartment where they both lived.
The police went to the apartment where Rhonda and Tim lived and noted the Red Honda Civic was parked in front of the apartment. A search warrant for seizing the car and searching Rhonda and Tim’s apartment was obtained. James was found to be out on parole for a burglary in which he had served two years in prison. Rhonda was home but Tim was not. Rhonda told the police that she had been receiving threatening emails form James, her ex-husband who was threatening to kill her, Tim, and then himself. She had saved the emails on her Tablet. The search revealed a men’s white dress shirt in the hamper covered with what appeared to be high velocity blood spatter consistent with gunshot blowback. A box of 9mm cartridges with ten rounds missing was found in the dresser of the night stand. An empty pistol box for a 9mm Glock model 26 compact pistol was found next to the ammunition.
Research the following points, and write a 4–6-page paper fully explaining each point:
Define physical evidence.
You may use a number of resources to research the methods and significance of evidence in this scenario. Consider using articles form juried forensic publications, information from the AIU library, or textbooks from this or other classes you might have had. Identify the evidence you found and what evidence might still be available. Include proper handling and packaging techniques for your evidence.
Explain the importance of expert testimony and the report writing that would be involved.
