Note to writer: I attached some documents for you to look at. You have a copy of the concept map, a attachment what is a critical friends and my role in the group was that i worked on the first week which was the mental map. the second week ben was responsible for. the third week ray worked on it and brandon and gretchen worked on the rest of the project. I enjoyed working with my group and is looking forward to graduating with them this fall at sacramento state. I liked the feedback our group got back from the class from using critical friends. At the beginning our group kept changing our concept until we came up with the idea of a survival kit. I learned how iam very nervous talking in front of the class during our prensentation and in front of my cl;assmates and peers, but my group the whole entire time supported my feeling and helped me get through it. I enjoyed reading the devils highway and working in a group. I also liked the idea of a contract between everyone in the group so everyone is responsible for doing work.

There are faxes for this order.

ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
In this paper, you will use selected resources to research and report on the lifestyles, values, mores, and other characteristics of at least two sub-cultures living in your state.
(I live in Nebraska and would like to use Native Americans and Hispanics as my two sub-cultures)
The body of your report should focus on the important aspects of each culture. Be sure to document your findings during your research. You will need to go beyond simply copying material you find in encyclopedias. Follow the task prompts (below) to maximize your scores.
Upon completing your research you will take the information and place it into context for your future classrooms. Formulate your response around questions like: How does this piece of information help me understand this culture? What implications does this information have on my practice? What kinds of questions does it raise?
In order to understand the information you find, you will need to perform research in primary and secondary sources (e.g., information about the art from a given culture found in a textbook versus original documents such as the works of art from artists within the culture). This will help you to understand the information about each culture within the broader context of your future classrooms.
Task:
1. Write a statement of purpose for your research project.
o A statement of purpose is a sentence that you write which states what you want to learn about in your research project.
o A statement of purpose acts as a guide so that you will read and take notes only on what you will need for your project (See link below).
Note: Your statement of purpose will go in the introduction of your paper (see #4 below).
2. Locate and gather sources of information.
a. Secondary Sources: Locate at least two books on each culture (total of four books). Look for different types of sources (e.g., textbook, library monograph, brochure, etc.). None of the four required books may be an encyclopedia. However, you may begin your search by reading an encyclopedia entry for each culture you will research.
b. Primary Sources: Locate at least three primary sources for each culture (total of six sources). For example, if you are writing about a subculture based on a religion, a basic statement of beliefs without outside comment offered by a leader of that religion might be useful. Seek various types of materials (e.g., pictures, documents from authoritative bodies, poetry from members of the culture, etc.).
c. You must locate and use at least one primary source from the Internet.
d. Primary Government or Public Policy Sources: Locate at least one source on either culture from an official resource. For example, if you are writing about the African American culture, you could use one of many documents from the U.S. Supreme Court or U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division.

Do not use an author's description of an official document - such as a discussion about the U.S. Constitution in a textbook. The goal here is to find an official document. Many government documents and public policy documents are available on the Internet at [*.gov] sites.
e. Gather copies of the books and other materials from the library, Internet, Inter-library loan, or directly from organizations that represent that culture you wish to study.
3. Review, organize, synthesize, and summarize information from multiple sources in a logical manner.
. Create a concept map or an outline for EACH culture. Identify common themes, concepts, and ideas. For example, your concept map or outline may include such things as beliefs, foods, arts and entertainment, educational aspirations, political tendencies, traditions, family life, holidays, languages spoken, etc.

You can find many good explanations of concept mapping and outlining on the Internet. Find these materials by entering the words "Concept Map" into an Internet search engine (e.g., Google.com). We highly recommend using concept maps.
a. Upload a copy of your outline or concept maps along with your research paper. If you create your concept maps by hand, scan a copy of each map and save each image as a JPEG file. If you use software - such as Inspiration - save the file in either Rich Text Format (*.rtf) or in JPEG format.
4. Write an introduction (1-2 paragraphs).
. Place your statement of purpose at the beginning of your introduction.
a. State explicitly the cultures you researched and describe the aspects of each culture you will address.
b. Describe why the report is important to you as a person and as a teaching professional. Be sure to dig deeply into your personal feelings and make connections between the information you learned and your future as a teacher.
5. Write about materials and methods employed (1-2 paragraphs). This section should be clear enough to allow others to follow your methods.
. Give a brief description of how the information was collected. What methods did you use to find your resources?
a. Describe which sources you thought were most important and why.
b. Describe how you reviewed and synthesized the information you found in the sources.
6. Write a results section to describe each culture (1-2 pages per culture)
. Present the information you found on each culture.
a. Cite any information you include using in-text citations (as opposed to footnotes or endnotes).
7. Write a discussion and conclusions section (1-2 pages).
. Discuss how the two cultures are similar and how they are different. Be sure to provide at least two ways the cultures are the same and three ways the cultures are different.
a. Identify at least three ways the information you learned from this project could be applied in your classroom.
8. Create a bibliography (1 page).
. List all references used in your report in APA format. If you need help with formatting references in APA format, you can find APA style guides on the Internet (See link below). If this link is not active, simply enter the terms "APA" and "References Guide" into an Internet search engine (such as Google.com).
a. At the end of each reference categorize the material to help graders. Within square brackets [], identify each source as:
?X Primary or Secondary - to help the grader verify you met the requirements of prompt 2a. and 2b. (above).
?X Internet, Library, or Other - to help the grader verify you met the requirements of prompt 2c. (above).
?X Government, Public Policy, or Other - to help the grader verify you met the requirements of prompt 2d. (above).

Referencing Harvard style. 2100 words excluding references.

I need an master;s level essay of 2100 words, to be done by who has hands on experience on SAP R/3 (SAP ERP). The report should focus on evidence of implications of implementation or configuration of ERP systems.

The report should demonstrate knowledge in configuration process of ERP systems (SAP R/3) and critical analysis using both practical and theoretical ERP fundamentals. It should reflect hands-on experience on SAP and identify advantages, disadvantages and challenges involved in this process.

The report should emphasize on the implications of deploying ERP systems and critical reflection, and opportunities and challenges involved in the configuration process of an ERP system, with benefits and challenges. The report should also reflect the knowledge gained through configuring components of SAP R/3. The report should be supported theoretically with the help of several well-chosen literature in the form of journals, books (peer-reviewed and high-quality journals, especially).

The report should include a concept map depicting the configuration process. An abstract is mandatory for the report, as usual.

The whole report should speak about SAP R/3, with the second part (one-third of the report) illustrating on production planning module from SAP R/3 perspective.

The focus should be mainly on Production Planning, which includes production planning overview, production process, planning process, MRP process, elements of a production order, in respect to a production department in an organization configuring SAP.

The business processes (flows) from production planning point of view in an organization should be illustrated.

Talk about material master, bill of materials, BOM Master Data, Routing, etc, involved in Production planning process. Also, production order process, procurement process, etc. Also, mention about material masters (finished product, semi-finished products, and raw materials). When talking about material master, explain about different views as well (for eg, MRP 1 view, purchase view, etc)

I have several other reports to be written on other modules of SAP. If this is of good class, I would prefer to order through you for them as well.

Additional info, which can be incorporated if needed

Introduction to configuration of SAP, are as follows:

Architecture of SAP system like Central Relational Databases, Client/server (3-tier), ERP component modules (PP, CO, HR, FI, etc)

Basics of R/3:
Instance - each install of the SAP R/3 software on an individual application server
Configurable - each instance can be distinctively configured to fit the needs and desires of the customer (within limits)

Most of the infrastructure decisions, including configuration decisions, occur during project implementation

Configuration:
The process of tailoring SAP software by selecting specific functionality from a list of those supported by the software.
Does not involve changes to the underlying software code

Business Process Integration: Organizational data, master data, rules, transactions (FI, MM, and SD point of view).

Discussion questions
The quality of comments is as important as the quantity, so students are expected to be reflective in their original posts and responses (i.e. not cut and paste from a website or reiterate material directly from the textbook)
Module 1
A clinical group of undergraduate fundamental nursing students are learning the nursing process and applying it to a client with anemia. During post-conference they bring in research articles that support specific interventions. They develop a group concept map about the client and develop three nursing diagnoses with appropriate NANDA language. The research articles they have retrieved support dietary iron intake and blood replacement but the students assessment reveals that the client is a vegetarian and is of a culture and religion that does not accept blood products. How would you guide their knowledge development in this clinical scenario in the context of Carpers ways of knowing? 250-300 words
Critical Thinking Exercises: (10 points each) each can be answered in sentence format
1. Does nursing have a unique body of knowledge or is it the application of various other fields of knowledge in a practice setting?
2. What are the expectations and patient considerations of evidence-based practice in nursing?
3. Reflect on your own practice. Provide examples of how you engaged in caring and supportive relationships. Explain how you may be able to model these behaviors for students in a clinical setting.
4. What was the purpose of NANDA in relation to nursing knowledge development?

Module 2
A tremendous amount of research supports the role of the educator in promoting a safe and effective learning environment for culturally diverse classrooms. What methods or approaches can you employ to develop such positive and effective learning environments? 250-300 words
Critical Thinking Exercises: (40 points) answer in sentence format

Thank you for doing this paper. I would attempt it myself but my husband is going through chemo treatments and I just got out of the hospital from surgery myself so I am really not up for the challenge. Please pay careful attention to the details of the paper. They are wanting the paper to have sections that are clearly labeled. Also, you do not need to do the concept map. I will do that part after the paper is done. Finally, the sources do not necessarily have to be verifiable...just believable.

This is for a Geographical Analysis class.You will write an explanatory (informative, descriptive) report on a local issue about MEDICAL MARIJUANA (make it geographical). By local I mean Chico, Ca or Butte County. Your report will make references to places outside of the local area in the literature review section.
Include at least one properly formatted and referenced items (these do not count toward 7-10 page minimum for paper)

Think about your audience when writing this report. You are writing to inform someone?the public or a policymaker. Define terms, use transitions, cut down on unnecessary words, and do not try to create a solution. You are informing someone who might be able to make policy, but your job is not to come up with solutions.
Think about this as a background report. However, after having done research you are entitled to an informed position on the issue. For instance, if I was writing report on panhandling laws I?d include all sides of the debate, but my conclusion might reflect a concern with the legality of banning panhandling as well as an acknowledgement that panhandling is a problem (maybe it?s not?not sure, but this is just an example.


Mandatory Sections to your Report:

1. A meaningful title: Make your title compelling (not dry). Try to make it say something about what you are researching. Your title can be a question. You should include information that this is a study of xxx in Butte County, or Chico.

2. Introduction. Write an introduction that says what the report is about and why it?s an important topic. Be engaging and use clear, straightforward language. ? page.

3. Literature Review. This should have been drafted during the annotated bibliography and further explored in the concept map. Think of the major themes that you?ve found in articles that orient your research and thinking about the topic. Your field research and local research section should ?fit? with this section of the paper. For example, if the literature on sit-lie ordinances brings up the legality of this legislation, and you write about this in your literature review portion, then you should explore that in your field research. 1.5-2 pages.

4. Local Research: Background information (Secondary Research) 2 pages
a. Include a description of how the issue has evolved (from issues you put in your timeline and news article summary, and from interview materials). You could adapt the timeline as a table in this section.
b. Provide information of the various ?stakeholders? involved in the issue, and describe any controversies about the issue that you have learned from your news article analysis. Think about who is affected, and how different people or groups feel about the issue. You could provide a table here of the who?s who of the issue.

5. Local Research: Fieldwork (Primary Research) 3 pages
a. Describe what method you used to do your fieldwork portion.
b. Provide a map that will show the area of town or the county where you carried out your research, and/or that was a focus of your research.
c. Provide findings of your field research. Use table and/or graph here.

Introduction:

Psychiatric emergencies in medical settings may be particularly challenging since the staff does not encounter them frequently and may not have experience dealing with behavioral crisis intervention. The purpose of this exercise is to help staff improve understanding and coping with nonmedical emergencies that occur in medical settings using the PDCA cycle.

Mr. X is a 41-year-old male admitted to a medical unit with a diagnosis of possible stroke. The patient is ambulatory, 5?10??, and 350 lbs. Mr. X presented to the emergency department the day before after apparently losing consciousness at home. The initial CAT scan of his head was negative. It is suspected that Mr. X may be an IV drug user since his urine toxicology screening came back positive for opiates. The medical staff thinks that Mr. X had a seizure prior to admission, but he has shown no abnormal signs or symptoms within the last 24 hours. Mr. X was moved to an acute care unit where he sits in bed wearing only a pair of ill-fitting boxer shorts and no shirt. He is able to communicate without any signs of aphasia. The medical staff is still not sure what is wrong with Mr. X.

As the nurse administrator of the day, you hear a Rapid Response called overhead for this patient. As you enter the room, you see Mr. X screaming and on all fours in his bed. He is saying ?Help, help? and ?I don?t know? repeatedly. Respiratory staff, physicians, physician?s assistants, an ICU nurse, and unit staff are all standing there watching Mr. X scream for help. They all seem paralyzed. Finally, one of the staff nurses asks Mr. X to turn over so that respiratory staff can administer oxygen via a facial mask. He complies and at that time the ICU nurse hooks him up to the cardiac monitor as per protocol in a Rapid Response.

Mr. X remains quiet and still for about 60 seconds and then proceeds to rip off the oxygen mask and the EKG leads attached to his chest. He climbs over the side rails and stands there in a daze, saying ?I don?t know, I don?t know.?

The staff reacts negatively to Mr. X?s behavior in front of him. The respiratory therapist says, ?If you think I?m going in to get an ABG from him, you?re crazy.? Speaking to Mr. X, the ICU nurse repeats over and over in a stern impatient voice, ?What don?t you know?? Mr. X seems overwhelmed and can?t answer. The physician looks through the chart and asks the nurses questions about the patient. The other nurses stand there staring at Mr. X. The ICU nurse leaves a few minutes later stating that the patient?s EKG is normal.

All at once, Mr. X bolts from the room towards the elevator, which has just opened, and gets on. One of the nurses calls a security code, but it is too late; Mr. X has disappeared. The county police are called and hours later they find Mr. X at his nearby home. They try to encourage him to return to the hospital, but since he has not been deemed a danger to himself or others, they have no choice but to leave him alone.

The next morning Mr. X returns to the Emergency Department with ?severe chest discomfort and a headache? and is admitted back to the same unit. When the staff see him, they are apprehensive and somewhat angry that he is back. After about three hours on the unit, Mr. X starts yelling that his stomach is hurting. His nurse calls the physician about his symptoms but she and the rest of the staff avoid extended contact with him because of what happened the day before.

Task:

Write an essay (suggested length of 5 pages) in which you develop a plan to help this staff become proficient in handling behavioral emergencies on a non-psychiatric unit by doing the following:


A. Analyze the situation using the FOCUS and PDCA models by doing the following:
1. Use the FOCUS model to identify possible causes of the staff?s problem.
a. Find a Process to Improve (What needs to be improved based on the incident in the scenario?)
b. Organize a Team That Knows the Process (Who is the leader, the facilitator, the recorder, the time keeper, team member? Do you need all these people? Do you need others?)
c. Clarify Current Knowledge of the Process (What is being done now that might have added to or allowed the incident?)
d. Understand Causes of Process Variation (Use cause-effect diagrams, concept maps or other diagrams to show how you would understand the cause)
e. Select the Process Improvement (What would you do to improve the situation so that you decrease the risk of it occurring again?)

2. Develop an improvement plan that will ensure appropriate response times and appropriate clinical interventions in this situation, using a modified version of the PDCA model (PDC).
a. Plan (develop a plan to address the situation and possible risk in the future)
b. Do (You are not expected to actually do the plan but tell how it would be done)
c. Check (How would you check if the plan worked?)


B. Write a unit protocol containing at least five directives for staff to follow in case of a behavioral emergency in a non-psychiatric setting.


C. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.


Note: When using sources to support ideas and elements in a paper or project, the submission MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct quotes or paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not been quoted or paraphrased in the text of the paper or project.

Note: No more than a combined total of 30% of a submission can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly.

Mr. X was moved to an acute care unit where he sits in bed wearing only a pair of ill-fitting boxer shorts and no shirt. He is able to communicate without any signs of aphasia. The medical staff is still not sure what is wrong with Mr. X.



As the nurse administrator of the day, you hear a Rapid Response called overhead for this patient. As you enter the room, you see Mr. X screaming and on all fours in his bed. He is saying ?Help, help? and ?I don?t know? repeatedly. Respiratory staff, physicians, physician?s assistants, an ICU nurse, and unit staff are all standing there watching Mr. X scream for help. They all seem paralyzed. Finally, one of the staff nurses asks Mr. X to turn over so that respiratory staff can administer oxygen via a facial mask. He complies and at that time the ICU nurse hooks him up to the cardiac monitor as per protocol in a Rapid Response.



Mr. X remains quiet and still for about 60 seconds and then proceeds to rip off the oxygen mask and the EKG leads attached to his chest. He climbs over the side rails and stands there in a daze, saying ?I don?t know, I don?t know.?



The staff reacts negatively to Mr. X?s behavior in front of him. The respiratory therapist says, ?If you think I?m going in to get an ABG from him, you?re crazy.? Speaking to Mr. X, the ICU nurse repeats over and over in a stern impatient voice, ?What don?t you know?? Mr. X seems overwhelmed and can?t answer. The physician looks through the chart and asks the nurses questions about the patient. The other nurses stand there staring at Mr. X. The ICU nurse leaves a few minutes later stating that the patient?s EKG is normal.



All at once, Mr. X bolts from the room towards the elevator, which has just opened, and gets on. One of the nurses calls a security code, but it is too late; Mr. X has disappeared. The county police are called and hours later they find Mr. X at his nearby home. They try to encourage him to return to the hospital, but since he has not been deemed a danger to himself or others, they have no choice but to leave him alone.



The next morning Mr. X returns to the Emergency Department with ?severe chest discomfort and a headache? and is admitted back to the same unit. When the staff see him, they are apprehensive and somewhat angry that he is back. After about three hours on the unit, Mr. X starts yelling that his stomach is hurting. His nurse calls the physician about his symptoms but she and the rest of the staff avoid extended contact with him because of what happened the day before.



Task:



Write an essay (suggested length of 5?10 pages) in which you develop a plan to help this staff become proficient in handling behavioral emergencies on a non-psychiatric unit by doing the following:



A. Analyze the situation using the FOCUS and PDCA models by doing the following:

1. Use the FOCUS model to identify possible causes of the staff?s problem.

a. Find a Process to Improve (What needs to be improved based on the incident in the scenario?)

b. Organize a Team That Knows the Process (Who is the leader, the facilitator, the recorder, the time keeper, team member? Do you need all these people? Do you need others?)

c. Clarify Current Knowledge of the Process (What is being done now that might have added to or allowed the incident?)

d. Understand Causes of Process Variation (Use cause-effect diagrams, concept maps or other diagrams to show how you would understand the cause)

e. Select the Process Improvement (What would you do to improve the situation so that you decrease the risk of it occurring again?)



2. Develop an improvement plan that will ensure appropriate response times and appropriate clinical interventions in this situation, using a modified version of the PDCA model (PDC).

a. Plan (develop a plan to address the situation and possible risk in the future)

b. Do (You are not expected to actually do the plan but tell how it would be done)

c. Check (How would you check if the plan worked?)

d. Act (Note: Act has been omitted in the modified version since you are not expected to carry out this plan so you cannot periodically review the change to ensure that it is successful.

B. Write a unit protocol containing at least five directives for staff to follow in case of a behavioral emergency in a non-psychiatric setting.



C. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.

Please answer the following question

1. Examining the research ideas outlined in the lesson, identify an area of research you would like to pursue. Are you more interested in clinical or educational research? Whom will you seek out for collaboration? What further education will help you meet your research goals?

Boyer?s scholarship of discovery refers to the faculty role in research. The extent to which faculty members conduct research is based on many factors. However, the expectation, especially in colleges and universities, is that you will approach teaching practice with an inquiring mind and that you will publish what you have learned.

Several actions have been identified for helping new faculty members get involved with research and publishing. For example, some faculty build on the research they completed in their graduate programs and continue studying their project topic. This is especially useful for writing and submitting your first manuscript for publication. Likewise, presenting the results of a project or dissertation is a good way to disseminate your findings.

Finding a research or publication mentor can also be helpful, as well as peer mentors who provide support, assistance, and feedback on the research (Cirasella & Smale, 2011). Experienced, doctoral-prepared faculty researchers are more commonly employed by research universities, where faculty research is funded with federal grants. This is a very vigorous process!

However, the opportunity to do research is everywhere. A good way to begin is to write about what you are doing. Have you developed an excellent handout to teach a clinical topic? A concept map on a physiological process? A simulation that helped your students think critically? These are a few of the projects that could be turned into a manuscript.

Working together to research and write is another way to get involved in the scholarship of discovery, especially if you can find a more experienced faculty member for collaboration. Likewise, you can partner with a clinical expert to study a clinical issue and write about it.

Perhaps the most important research effort is to teach your students about evidence-based practice, both in the clinical arena and in your teaching practice (Billings & Halstead, 2011). In particular, the instructional methods you use should be based on solid evidence. Consider the research ideas in this image: What type of research topic interests you?

Summary

The scholarship of discovery is an important part of your educator role because you are considered to be part of a community of scholars. As you develop your career, look for opportunities to evaluate and test your teaching and apply evidence-based teaching methods.

Obtaining a doctoral degree is an excellent step toward meeting your research goals, and doctoral degrees in nursing are becoming more common. Generally, two doctorate degrees in nursing are most often offered: the doctor of philosophy (PhD) and the doctor of nursing practice (DNP). The PhD is considered the research degree and the DNP is considered the practice degree. Both degrees are appropriate for nurse educators, and the decision to choose one or the other depends on your goals (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2013).
