ECO 151 The Economy is Strong and Inflation is Low Discussion

Description: The current events summary is based off a current news article that discusses a current or proposed policy (at the firm, local, state, or federal government level) or other economic issue that has implications for the labor market (e.g., building an oil pipeline, extreme weather event, etc.). It should cover a topic about Labor Supply Theory or Labor Demand Theory.The summary should be approximately ½-¾ page in length. You may additionally include graphs or figures (though not required) that are not included in the page count. You should also include a PDF of the article that your summary is based on. This should include the full text of the article, date of publication, and name of the news source. Please submit a single PDF containing all files. Finding Articles: Your news article should come from a reputable source (for example, but not limited to: The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, BBC, The Economist, Sacramento Bee, etc.), and should have been written/published within 3 weeks of the date you submit the assignment. Some news outlets have free online access; you can also find electronic and paper copies of current periodicals in the library. Grading: Grading will be based on: Summary of the policy or issue: Briefly describe the policy or issue in the article to someone who is unfamiliar with it. The article must be attached. (5 points) Relevance to labor economics: Briefly describe how this article applies to a labor economics topic that we have covered in the course. (5 points) Theoretical predictions: Using the material you have learned in the course, discuss the theoretical effects of the policy/issue. Although not required, you can create and reference graphs or figures if helpful. (10 points) Conclusions: Why might you expect (or not expect) the actual labor market consequences to differ from your theoretical predictions? (10 points) University of California, Davis Professor Jenna Stearns Department of Economics Spring 2019 Clarity of writing, structure, and grammar: Although this is a short assignment, I expect the summary to be well-written, free of typos, and cohesively address all of the above components. (5 points) Originality: There are many issues that affect the labor market in the news every day. These assignments are a chance for you to explore a topic that is of interest to you. You should find a policy or issue that we have not discussed in detail in class, and is not an example in the textbook. (5 points) Advice: This assignment is intentionally a little vague to allow you to find and analyze current issues in labor economics that most interest you. I am primarily interested in your ability to connect current issues affecting the labor market with the theory we discuss in class. To make your theoretical prediction, it may be useful to make some assumptions about the labor market (e.g., leisure is a normal good, upward sloping labor supply curve, etc.). You do not need to discuss every possible scenario. Feel free to come see me during office hours with questions. 

IT 200 SNHU Computer Science Human Computer Interaction Discussion

After reading the Human-Computer Interaction article in the Shapiro Library, you should have a better understanding of why the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) exists, the advancements that have been made, and the impact it has on individuals.In this discussion, you will be viewing videos that emphasize the importance of human-computer interaction. The first video features modern teenagers struggling with a common technology interaction from the twentieth century: dialing on a rotary telephone. In the second video, Steve Jobs unveils the original iPhone and describes how its versatile touchscreen differs from other common interfaces at the time. The third video, from 2017, shows a newer and increasingly common human-computer interaction: the touchscreen ordering kiosk.While viewing these videos, consider how the people interact with the technology they are using. What interface elements are demonstrated in each video? How do these interfaces improve or hinder their ability to interact with technology and accomplish their goals?In your initial post, discuss how a particular human-computer interface might impact a person’s satisfaction with and ability to use technology. Then, describe another example of a technology product and the human-computer interface you use to interact with that product, such as a wearable device or a self-service checkout machine. In your post, discuss the positives and negatives of the experience, with a focus on how HCI elements allow you to interact with the technology. Finally, describe how interacting with that technology compares to the way you were accustomed to doing that task before.In your responses to your peers, identify ways you could change the negative human-computer interaction elements mentioned in their post for a more positive experience.PEER DISCUSSIONS TO RESPOND TO:I play video games whenever I have free time as I have for the last 30 years, so you could say I have been interfacing with a computer since before I could read. The video game controller has a very real impact on the comfort of the person playing the game and has evolved from being basic square shapes that were not the most comfortable to hold to something that is completely ergonomic. Video game HCIs are many and as varied as anyone could ever imagine, from one hand controllers to VR headsets to haptic vest and headphones, steering wheels to airplanes control sticks, any manner of items that look like gun or swords.  These all add to the immersion of the experience you want to have. One of my favorites is to use one of VR headsets to watch movies, you can view movie anywhere from the beach to the Moon. When playing PC games, I use some specially customized HCIs, to the point that when I must play games without them and can only use a basic keyboard and mouse, I must relearn to play the game. this is a real negative and has caused me too no longer play games on my laptop.  Over the years, there has been new paraphernalia in which to interface with my games, adapting to new HCIs is what I have become accustomed to do.

Evidence in Nursing Discussion

Please respond with a paragraph to the following question, add citations and references:There are several different methods available to evaluate evidence in nursing. I would choose to use a systemic review and a meta-analysis. They both gives results by using and combining data from studies on similar research topics. The meta-analysis is a system that uses statistic methods for summarizing outcomes of the study. A meta-analysis is a valid, objective and scientific method of analyzing and combining different results (Ahn & Kang, 2018). When the effect of the treatment is accurate and is consistent from one study to another, then the meta -analysis could used to identify common impacts. I would consider meta-analysis to be a very powerful sources in evidence evaluation. However, some results could be misleading due to violations of creating a sound meta-analysis.A systemic review provides answers to research questions which is well defined by a collection and summary pf information (Ahn & Kang, 2018). Systemic reviews assist in identifying, assessing and summarizing the findings of all individual studies which are relevant about medical problems, thus creating the evidence available as more accessible towards the decision makers. The limitations of systemic reviews are that it needs a team and it needs enough data for arriving at conclusions. If one has a lack of understanding about systemic reviews and meta-analyses, it can lead to incorrect outcomes.Its easy to confuse the two methods listed: A systemic review is an objective, reproducible method to find answers to research questions. This is done by collecting studies related to the question, reviewing and analyzing their results. The meta-analysis uses statistical methods on estimates from two or more studies to form an estimate. When performing both methods, if the quality of the studies are not properly evaluated then then results can be biased and the outcomes can be incorrect.Reference:Ahn, E., & Kang, H. (2018). Introduction to systemic review and meta-analysis. Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 71(2), 103-112. doi: 10.4097/kjae.2018.71.2.103

Here is the case synopsis:  
Case Synopsis: Muhtar Kent, CEO of the Coca-Cola Company, faced a critical decision in 2011 after closing a $12 billion deal to buy its troubled North America bottling operations from its biggest bottler, Coca-Cola Enterprises. The decision was prompted by several changes in the U.S. market, including the bottler’s inability to make crucial investments, the growth of alternative, non-sparkling drinks, and the growing power of national accounts, such as Wal-Mart. Now that Coke owned most of its North American bottling network, Kent had to decide whether keeping the labor and capital-intensive side of the bottling business was in Coke’s long-term strategic interest. If not, should he re-franchise the bottling business, again, as Coke had done in the past? Or was there a third path? For one of the most successful companies in the world over the last 100 years, Kent’s answers to these questions had the potential to redefine Coke’s business model for the next century.
