f Max Clara and his research had been subject to the APA Code of Ethics, explain what principles and standards would have been violated.

Module Three Short Paper Guidelines and Rubric

Prompt: The four short paper assignments in this course provide you with an opportunity to explore course concepts to develop your own ideas about ethics in psychology. For this short paper, you will read The Clara Cell, a scholarly article chronicling an ethical conflict from World War II. Identify and describe the central ethical conflict of the case. If Max Clara and his research had been subject to the APA Code of Ethics, explain what principles and standards would have been violated. After discussing these violations, identify the ethical implications of the Clara cell case for contemporary psychology. Based on these implications, examine the role of research in society and analyze psychology professionals’ responsibilities to research participants and/or their families. Guidelines for Submission: Your paper must be submitted as a 2–3 page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, oneinch margins, and at least three sources cited in APA format.

Describe the importance of Intellectual Property and copyright, the functions of music industry bodies, the purpose of their establishment, and how and why money flows through them – from whom and to whom

Assessment Brief- 3000 WORD REPORT

 

Using academic theories and a case study, evaluate and analyse key traits of a global manager, such as, the appraisal of international culture, ethics and value-based considerations following which you should carry out a self-audit followed by a development plan.

 

The first step in drafting your assignment is to choose a global company to focus on

At the chosen company, identify a case of a global perspective, such as an international pursuit, an expansion on a new market, an M&A, a strategy or model adopted, or any other situation that can show you understand elements related to global management – and it can be either a success or a failure (example: Starbucks failure while expanding in Australia – you can watch the video)

Then, for that particular case identify main issues that have to do with:

  • cultural considerations (in Starbucks example: cultural differences between the American and the Australian coffee drinking culture),
  • ethical considerations (in Starbucks example: aggressive marketing campaign)
  • AND value-based considerations (in Starbucks example: losing money and shutting down tons of stores)

You then start in depth your assignment sections: in the literature review analysing in detail the elements from the theoretical perspective, and in the case study your analysis from the company perspective

Remember: All three elements need to be tackled in both part 2 literature review and part 3 case study: cultural considerations, ethical considerations AND value-based consideration! Remember to focus on what is going on in the minds of the managers/leaders of the business.

I HAVE FOUND A PARTICULAR CASE STUDY ALREADY FOR YOU PLEASE USE:

Why McDonald’s failed in Vietnam?

BEFORE STARTING THE ASSIGNMENT EXPLORE THE CASE STUDY AND THE ISSUES THEY ENCOUNTER IN REGARDS TO CULTURAL, ETHICAL, AND VALUE BASED CONSIDERATIONS. THIS WILL HELP DRAW UP THE ASSIGNMENT WELL. YOU MAY FIND ISSUES IN THE CASE STUDY THAT ARE HIGHLIED BELOW.

For cultural-based considerations: you can analyse issues related to cultural differences, Cultural Orientations Model, managing global teams and networks, MBI Model, implementing strategies across borders, modes of entering new international markets, choosing the right people for overseas assignments, and any other relevant topic

For ethical-based considerations: you can analyse issues related to personal integrity and corporate integrity (corporate accountability, corporate responsibility and corporate sustainability)

For value-based considerations: you can analyse issues related to value creation, such as Value-Based Management Model, or core values, such as Values-Based Leadership Model

 

 

The following structure shall be used:

 

Part 1. Introduction. Clearly re-state the topic, aim and objectives and outline the structure of the work (150 words)

Your introduction should be brief and outline what you intend to do in the report.

 

Part 2. Critical   literature   review   about   international   culture,   ethics,   and   values-based considerations (1200 words)

In this section focus on the three areas in regards to international   culture,   ethics,   and   values-based considerations and here introduce some of the issues identified in the case study and explain where they ‘fit in’ under cultural, ethical and values-based considerations. Analyse those issues found in the case study from a theoretical perspective using frameworks and models which I have attached.

  • For cultural-based considerations – please use the theoretical models attached under PowerPoint slides weeks 3-6
  • For ethical-based considerations – please use the theoretical models attached under PowerPoint slides week 8
  • For value-based considerations – please use the theoretical models for attached under PowerPoint slides week 9

 

You could also use other examples in the literature review to support your writing of other businesses that have failed or succeeded in these particular areas identified in the case study.(THIS WILL GIVE ME HIGHER MARKS)

Use relevant references based on what I have attached as well as materials from your independent study, and beyond.

Be more critical in this section than descriptive and explain the relevance of the theories analysed.

Remember: Part 2 (the literature review) should reflect only theoretical models and part 3 those theoretical aspects applied by your chosen business!

 

 

 

Part 3. A case study about a business of your choice highlighting how the business has/ not benefited from international culture, ethics, and values-based considerations (1000 words)

For this section make links to the issues identified in the literature review under culture, ethics and value based considerations and explore them in greater depth here explaining how the company managed those issues, whether and to which extent it is considered a success or a failure, and what you can learn from this from a global perspective.

Part 4.Using a self-audit, score yourself on a scale of 1-10 using the Global Mind-set Model attached OR YOU CAN SEE THIS BELOW where you identify 3 skills of a global manager that you consider relevant having in mind your future career prospects (I WANT TO GO INTO CONSULTANCY) . Please see below the global mind-set model and the table to use to draw up this section. (THE TABLE CAN BE DESCRIPTIVE AS YOU WISH AS IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WORD COUNT)

USE THIS TABLE BELOW TO COMPLETE THIS PART AND PICK THREE SKILLS FROM THE ABOVE MODEL AND FILL OUT THE KNOWLEDGE BOX YOU CAN RATE ME LOW IF NEED BE SINCE IM A UNDERGRADUATE.

AFTER DOING THIS TABLE PLEASE THEN FILL OUT A PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN SEE BELOW WITH THE THREE SKILLS YOU HAVE CHOSEN IN THE SELF AUDIT.

 

Your PDP should reflect an action plan for developing the three global mind-set skills you selected for your self-audit, and should be done in a table provided below. Reflect how you intend to develop as a future successful global manager with a cultivated global mind-set. (THIS CAN BE AS DETALIED AS YOU WANT AS THIS DOES NOT IMPACT WORD COUNT)

 

FOR THE SPECIFIC ACTIONS BOX- Identify resources which may help your achieve the skills you have selected to develop within : eg: can the learning centre help? Workshops available? Internet? Student services? Careers+ service? Self help reading/ self discovery/exposing yourself to new situations and people/developing an interest in those who aren’t similar to you/making time to talk to people and get to know them

 

After the two tables are completed explain in a paragraph as to why you want to develop those skills you have chosen, why are they are relevant to you and how do you see yourself developing these skills in becoming a future global manager with a cultivated global mindset and how this module has helped you to develop a global mind-set (500 words)

 

 

Part 5. Conclusion (150 words)

The conclusion is what you are going to do in the future ( I want to go into consultancy), how and why these skills chosen are the most relevant for you to develop.  Remember no new information should go in this section.

 

Part 6. List of references (not included in the word count). In-text citations and the list of references should follow Harvard style. A minimum of 15 academic references are required.

In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), is early application of prone positioning more effective than supine positioning at reducing mortality?

Early Prone Positioning in the Reduction of Mortality

PICOT QUESTION: In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), is early application of prone positioning more effective than supine positioning at reducing mortality?

 

Over the last two years, prone positioning has been initiated in the ICUs due to the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) because of COVID-19. Prone positioning was unfamiliar to me until the beginning of the pandemic. As we all know, due to the complexity of the coronavirus, there were interventions that were initiated by clinicians that seem to have improved patient outcomes. After briefly researching the benefits of prone positioning in 2019, I realized this intervention has been shown to be beneficial since the 1970’s. Prone positioning consists of placing a patient face down. Prone positioning has been used for more than 40 years to improve oxygenation in patients who require invasive mechanical ventilation for ARDS. The first demonstration of a beneficial effect on patients’ oxygenation was shown in 1974 (Touchon et al.,2021). I chose this PICO question because the initiation of prone positioning is prevalent in ICUs and I thought it would be great to research if early initiation, in fact, does reduces mortality amongst ARD’s patients. As a future nurse practitioner, in a pandemic, determining the effectiveness of treatment plan for ARDS would help me formulate a successful plan of care.

I think it’s essential to understand the physiologic effects of prone positioning before initiation, which I found rather interesting while doing research on my PICOquestion. When an individual with ARDS is supine, the heart compresses the medial posterior lung parenchyma, and the diaphragm compresses the posterior-caudal lung parenchyma. The latter is caused by the abdominal contents displacing the diaphragm cranially, which can be exacerbated by a loss of diaphragmatic tone due to sedation and/or paralysis or increased abdominal pressure. Compression by either the heart and/or the diaphragm may exaggerate dependent lung collapse in the supine position, increasing hypoxemia and ventilator-associated lung injury. During prone ventilation, the heart becomes dependent, potentially decreasing medial posterior lung compression. In addition, the diaphragm is displaced caudally (especially in obese patients and when the abdomen is left unsupported), decreasing compression of the posterior-caudal lung parenchyma (Malhorta, 2021). These effects improve ventilation and oxygenation. Ventilation/perfusion match improves when the patient is moved into the prone position as the previously dependent lung continues to receive most of the blood flow as alveoli reopen, while the newly dependent lung continues to receive the minority of the blood flow as alveoli begin to collapse. In addition, increases in cardiac output have been observed and thought to be because of increased lung recruitment and reduction in hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction resulting in increases in right ventricular preload and decreased right ventricular afterload and a decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance (Malhorta, 2021).

It’s evident that the use of prone positioning has been widely adopted now since the pandemic. One common entity between my job and clinical, was that patients with ARDS were placed in prone positioning only if intubated and paralyzed. Initially, I assumed that prone positioning was to only be initiated on intubated patients. But it was noted in many articles that awake prone positioning can be initiated on patients with ARDS while on high flow nasal cannula as well. I’ve come to the realization that there were many studies done on prone positioning in ARDS patients that I was unaware of, therefore I decided to educate myself on this topic. Whether the development of ARDS is related to an infectious or non-infectious process, prone positioning has been proven to have a more successful outcome than with supine positioning. Overall, this paper will educate me on the effectiveness of prone positioning and help me better manage patients with ARDS in my career as a nurse practitioner.

How did the alphabet (rather than writing in general) develop?

Description 6 pp. double-spaced (1500 words) + images + references due Apr 8 In this paper, which is addressed to a non-academic audience, you describe the history, development, structure, logic, and main uses of one visual communication medium. Imagine your reader: a younger, college-bound sibling, or your parent(s) or a friend–someone who wants to know what you learn in college and is not themselves into communication. You answer: “Here is one thing I learned, how one of these old communication media came into existence that we completely take for granted. It’s a really interesting story. I’ll tell you about its history, how it functions, what it does for us, and where we would be without it.” In other words, you write for a curious, non-academic audience and try to keep their attention, but you also give them solid (scholarly) information. And you make your choice of communication studies as your major or of a communication class look worthwhile. Like any informative paper of this kind, your paper should include illustrations (images with captions, however many you think it needs). The medium can be one of those that the class covers (see the syllabus) or one that it does not (in which case you should clear your choice with the TA or professor). If your medium of choice is discussed in class after the due date of the paper, you will be provided with course materials (slides etc.) once you begin work on your paper. While you should explain the medium as a whole and in general, your paper should be centered around one specific version of the medium: What can we learn from punk fashion about fashion? How did the alphabet (rather than writing in general) develop? What design problems do stove control panels pose and how have designers solved them? Your paper should have this structure: Introduction: which medium your paper is about, why it is interesting, and what importance it has for human societies History: how did the medium first come into existence, what prior medium did it build on (if any), in what context, and what problems did it solve? How did it change over time, if at all? (This could also be included in section 4.) Include one or two specific stories that illustrate this history. ‘Logic’: How does the medium function? What kinds of meanings does it communicate, and how? Use examples! Conclusion: Where would we be without the medium? References: in MLA format.

  1. Leadership Theories: 

Fundamental to understanding leadership is a body of theories that should be studied to develop an individual framework for what leadership is or is not. Leadership, on the outset, appears to be straightforward and complements other elements such as organizations and followers. However, each of these theories produces a more complex premise about leadership that often vary significantly from other theories on this topic. (Malos, n.d., pg. 413-414) Therefore, it is essential to analyze these theories to understand this discipline better and practice it effectively.

  1. Leadership Competencies:

Beyond the theoretical debate, “Is a leader born or made?” are actual competencies leaders need to successfully contribute to their roles and communities. These competencies consist of abilities one naturally possesses complemented by skills that can be learned. Leaders should inventory their competencies, compare them to what the leadership position requires, and work to fill any gaps with education and coaching. Leaders need to be sufficiently skilled in their current and future positions.

  1. Strategic Thinking Skills:

One of the most vital leadership competencies is strategic thinking. Every leader thinks, but strategic thinking is a critical skill that requires development and practice. Strategic thinking can be a logical, creative, or combined process used to generate thoughts and create a future for a person or organization. (Bradford, 2020, para. 1, 2) Strategic thinkers exercise their ability to see beyond the horizon of possibilities and bring a vision closer to fruition.

  1. Culture of Innovation:

Culture and innovation are two buzz words in today’s leadership lexicon. Individually, these concepts are essential to any organization, but together they are a powerhouse duo. Most companies have a vision statement or set of priorities that include growth but are stifled by a rigid culture that discourages innovation. An organization that sees failure as mistakes of enthusiasm and flattens decision-making to the lowest level possible will foster a vibrant culture that embraces innovation and exponential growth. (Biro, 2020, paras. 6, 9)

  1. Emotional Intelligence:

Another emerging factor shaping leadership effectiveness is emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is one’s ability to perceive, understand, and manage the emotions of oneself and others. (Cherry, 2020, paras 11-14) A leader who applies emotional intelligence has a greater sense of self-awareness, empathizes with others better, and is prone to slowing down and thinking prior to making an emotional decision. (Cherry, 2020, paras 17-19) In other words, this is a relational skill that helps build an emotional connection between ourselves and others.

  1. Followership:

Though leadership is the main focus of this discussion, followership is an essential component of the conversation. Followers make up one-third of an organizational triade, including context and leadership. (Harvard Kennedy School, 2009) Followership brings relevance to leadership in a symbiotic relationship; one cannot exist without the other. The power of followers derives from their collective strength in numbers, ideas, skills, and experiences.

  1. Crisis Leadership:

Leadership is easy when everything is going well; however, when a crisis strikes, leadership is tested, and character is revealed. The ability to manage unexpected circumstances is key to being a crisis leader. Though crisis leadership skills can be taught, development often comes from experience. A crisis leader must be able to decisively solve problems, navigate a quickly shifting landscape, provide timely communication, and sift through a flood of information to find relevant and actionable intelligence. (The Wall Street Journal, 2015, paras. 8-14)

Reflection

  1. Understanding Leadership:It is important to understand the difference between leading and managing. Leading is a person’s ability to build trust, influence, empower, and communicate (University of Maryland Global Campus, n.d.-a). Managing has a greater focus on control and performance. A leader manages the work, leads the people, and understands that their capacity to motivate will garner peak performance.
  2. Leadership Style:A true leader understands that different people need different leadership styles (Aldrin & Gayatri, 2014). All leadership styles have positive and negative attributes, but an effective leader will adjust to best suit the team and environment (Stevenson, 2019). She will evaluate the circumstances and combine styles to ensure optimal results.
  3. Succession Planning:Succession planning is imperative to business sustainability. As absences occur, planned or unplanned, a succession plan will help facilitate leadership transitions and prevent work stoppages. A good plan should include foreseeable vacancies, desired and required leadership competencies, a diverse pool of potential candidates, challenges, and opportunities (Flowers, 2017).
  4. Cultural Intelligence:Cultural intelligence (CQ) is the ability to relate to people from various cultures and have respect for their differences (Verghese, 2013). Influential leaders understand the value of diversity and support an environment that enables team members to be the best version of themselves and share everything from their ideas to their mistakes (Bilimoria, 2012). A culturally intelligent leader will enforce inclusion and fairness, which leads to success for the individual, team, and company.
  5. Self-Awareness:A leader can only lead if they have a good sense of self and understand their strengths and weaknesses. Current and future leaders should measure their personality traits to ensure the right things drive them. Although there is no definition for the perfect leader, it is essential to outline the most critical components of effective leadership and work to personify them (The Ken Blanchard Companies, n.d.). This is the basis for maintaining excellent organizational culture (8.5 Creating and Maintaining Organizational Culture, 2015).
  6. Building and Sustaining Relationships:It is important to build relationships with followers and superiors before you need them to establish trust. Employee relationships built over time and cultivated properly feel authentic and will result in higher productivity and support of the team when facing challenges. While some relationships might not be as significant as others, they will all eventually serve a purpose (Axner, 2018).
  7. Surviving a Crisis:Good leaders adapt during challenging times and have the psychological maturity to deal with adversity (University of Maryland Global Campus, n.d.-b). The best leaders make preparations for potential risks. When dealing with a crisis, a leader should be confident, decisive yet flexible, ensure communication flow and manage the entire crisis lifecycle, not just work to quiet the issue (deloitteeditor, n.d.).

  1. Leadership:The importance of leadership will help a business expand. “Leadership involves many management skills, but generally as a secondary or background function of true leadership” (Aldrin, Anitha, and Gayatri, R. August 2014 Page 358). Leadership is important because it provides a model for the staff to follow and helps promote the business in public.
  2. Risk-taking: The importance behind this factor is that it will help a company grow overtime. “Leaders regularly encounter risks, but they must know when to embrace a challenge and when to take a safe approach” (Indeed Editorial Team March 21, 2022). A good leader knows when to take a risk, that will help benefit the company, and be able to make the correct judgements of a situation.
  3. Strategic Thinking:The importance of strategic thinking is “They are amazingly aware and perceptive. They will recognize internal and external clues, often subtle, to help guide future direction and realize opportunities for them and their companies or organizations” (Center of Simplified Strategic Planning Inc, 2008). This is important because it helps show who is overseeing the differences or problems within the company, and come to an honest concussion.
  4. Understanding that failing is alright: Failing might be a hard thing to admit to but “If you’re never failing, chances are you’re not innovating much. Failure is inevitable when you’re fostering a culture of innovation, and that’s part of the challenge — the reality that there’s almost always a degree of uncertainty” (Biro, Meghan M. August 20, 2019). This factor should be seen more because in order to learn it is sometimes good to fail and make mistakes, it will help a person learn.
  5. Emotional Intelligence:This is important because “Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to perceive, control, and evaluate emotions” (Cherry, Kendra, June 03, 2020). This factor will help staff members be able to better understand the way people are feeling about certain situations. It will also help provide feed back to the company on what needs to be changed or improved.
  6. Authentic Leadership: This is an important factor “But there is something behind the jargon – ideas and concepts that have been around for centuries that can help leaders lead people by having a sense of self-awareness, identity, honesty and passion” (The Insights Group, LTD). The reasoning behind this being important is that it helps show who the company is through the leaders, and it will help employees by motivation them.
  7. Hire for personality, drive, execution, and accountability:These factors are important because “The value of positive, responsible, and accountable team members who take action cannot be overestimated” (McDowell, Scott 2020). These factors help a company hire the right Person for the job, and to make sure they are the most qualified for the open position.
