Personal Philosophy of Nursing

/in /by

In a 6 page paper in APA format describe your personal approach to professional nursing practice. Be sure to address the following:
    Which philosophy/conceptual framework/theory/middle-range theory describes nursing in the way you think about it? Discuss how you could utilize the philosophy/conceptual framework/theory/middle-range theory to organize your thoughts for critical thinking and decision making in nursing practice.
    Formulate and discuss your personal definition of nursing, person, health, and environment.
    Discuss a minimum of two beliefs and/or values about nursing that guide your own practice.
    Analyze your communication style using one of the tools presented in the course. In your paper, discuss the strengths and weaknesses associated with your style of communication and the impact on your ability to collaborate as part of an interdisciplinary team.

On a separate references page, cite all sources using APA format.  ***this would be page 7****

Analyzing the OSI Model

/in /by

Week 5 Discussion

Analyzing the OSI Model
The Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI) provides a way of conceptualizing a communication system. It does this by partitioning the system into layers. The OSI model is a standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is an excellent example of abstraction and layering applied to a complex system. Gaining a thorough understanding of the OSI model can help you design, develop, and troubleshoot distributed applications.
For this Discussion, you will evaluate the failure of a distributed application and analyze where in the OSI Model the failure may be related to.
To prepare:
    Consider a distributed application that you use and for which you have experienced a recent failure.
By Day 3, post a 2- to 3-paragraph evaluation of the application failure you dealt with. Do the following:
    Describe the application and the failure.
    Analyze the failure relative to each layer of the OSI model. For each layer, identify and describe at least one service from that layer that may have failed and caused the application failure you experienced.
    Explain which layer you consider to be the most likely cause of the failure you experienced and why.

Physics programming on electrical fields

/in /by

The assignment would consist of creating a program in VPython that will place eight 1-nC charges at the following coordinates (in meters): <0,0,0>, <0,0,1>, <0,1,0>, <0,1,1>, <1,0,0>, <1,0,1>, <1,1,0>, and <1,1,1>. It will then ask for the x, y, and z coordinates of a point in space. The program should then draw arrows (of the same length) from each charge toward <x,y,z>. Finally, the program should output the total electric field at <x,y,z>.

Film and Society

/in /by

Society can be defined as the structure of relationships within which culture (values, beliefs, behaviors and material objects that together make up a people’s way of life) is created and shared through regularized patterns of social interaction.

Social change can be defined as any significant alteration in society (see definition above).

Describe an instance, past or present, in which a specific film of any society/time has resulted in (CAUSED) social change. Do NOT speculate, do not just write about a movie that is about social change, and do not merely write about how a film BROUGHT ABOUT OR CHANGED AWARENESS of something. Awareness is just the first step to social change. Social change involves action. Make sure you include a link(s) to your information. Your reference(s) will not count toward the length limit of your response.

Basic Internet search skills and methods should be employed to find information for this forum. Other sources of info are acceptable, but a little time and effort using a basic Internet search engine is probably your best bet here. The source does NOT have to be a scholarly research article.

I WILL BE POSTING MY OWN EXAMPLE IN THE FORUM SHORTLY. PLEASE FOLLOW IT CLOSELY. WHEN YOU OPEN IT IN WORD, TURN ON COMMENTS SO THAT YOU CAN SEE MY COMMENTS IN THE RIGHT MARGIN. NOTICE THAT THE EXAMPLE HAS NO HEADING (NAME, TITLE, ETC.) THIS IS HOW I WANT YOUR POST TO BE AS WELL.

There can be no duplicate examples, you must reserve your example by creating a thread with the movie title followed by the word incomplete. Duplicate examples will receive a grade of zero. YOU MUST MAKE YOUR RESERVATION NO LATER THAN JAN. 28TH AT 11:59PM. 

When you are ready to submit your completed post, create a new thread with the movie title followed by the word Complete.

YOUR WORD DOCUMENT MUST BE SET TO CALIBRI 11-POINT FONT AND DOUBLE SPACED IN ORDER TO BE GRADED. THIS WILL CREATE A PAGE WITH 24 POSSIBLE LINES OF TEXT. THIS IS THE BARE MINIMUM. SUBMISSIONS WHICH DO NOT MEET THE LENGTH LIMIT WILL BE DOCKED AT LEAST 5 POINTS PER LINE. INDENTATION SHOULD BE SET TO 0″ ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT (to check this make sure the “home” tab is selected, click to the bottom right of where it says “paragraph” to open the options, and look at the settings under “Indentation”.
