Problem 2 
There are three major network affiliate television stations in Hicksville: RBC, CBC and MBC. All three 
stations have the option of airing the evening network-news program live at 6:00 pm or in a delayed 
broadcast at 7:00 pm. By regulation, they may not choose other times. Each station’s objective is to 
maximize its viewing audience, in order to maximize the station’s advertising revenue. The table below 
gives the percentage of Hicksville’s total population “captured” by each station as a function of the time 
at which each news program is shown. The numbers do not sum to 100 since not everyone always 
watches TV. 

Times Chosen Audience Capture 
MBC RBC CBC MBC RBC CBC 
6:00 pm 6:00 pm 6:00 pm 32 14 24 
6:00 pm 6:00 pm 7:00 pm 27 8 30 
6:00 pm 7:00 pm 6:00 pm 24 30 16 
6:00 pm 7:00 pm 7:00 pm 50 13 12 
7:00 pm 6:00 pm 6:00 pm 30 16 24 
7:00 pm 6:00 pm 7:00 pm 24 30 16 
7:00 pm 7:00 pm 6:00 pm 14 30 23 
7:00 pm 7:00 pm 7:00 pm 32 14 24 

1) Suppose that the choices of all three stations are made simultaneously. Find the Nash 
equilibrium(s). (Hint: Try to set this up so it looks more like a normal form game. To do this for 
three players, use two 2*2 matrices: let MBC choose the matrix, RBC the row and CBC the 
column). 

2) Suppose now that the game is played sequentially. MBC moves first. RBC moves second and 
CBC moves third. Each station can observe all previous moves before making her choice. Explain 
what will happen

Describe the “levels of evidence” and provide an example of the type of practice change that could result from each

The ‘levels of evidence’ are assigned to studies based on the methodological quality of their design, validity, and applicability to patient care. These decisions give the “grade (or strength) of recommendation” (Nova, 2019). The key is that when doing a search for evidence-based literature, it is important to select the highest level of evidence that is available. Systematic reviews, meta-analysis, and critically-appraised topics/articles have all gone through an evaluation process: they have been “filtered”. Choosing topics that have been filtered versus unfiltered describes the critical appraisal of that topic. Also, not every clinical question can be answered using the same types of research.

Level I is experimental study with randomized controls with or without meta-analysis and could result in changes in therapy. Level II is quasi-experimental study with or without meta-analysis and can lead to etiology changes. Level III is non-experimental study with or without meta-analysis and can lead to changes of the meaning. Level IV is the opinion of respected authorities and/or nationally recognized expert committees/consensus panels based on scientific evidence which include clinical practice guidelines and/or consensus panels. This level of evidence describes the Clinical Consensus Statement on Tracheostomy care which in my experience, has led to changes in practice. Level V is based on experiential and non-research evidence and includes literature reviews, quality improvement, program or financial evaluation, case reports or the opinion of nationally recognized expert(s) based on experiential evidence and can lead to changes revolving around cost.

Using 200-300 words APA format with at least two references and should not be over five years old to support this discussion

 Describe the “levels of evidence” and provide an example of the type of practice change that could result from each.

Are children immune to the attitudes and behaviors of other group members?

 2-1 Discussion: Development of the Social Self

Discussion Topic

Our ability to integrate the information we receive from others and interact within social contexts involves skills that are acquired throughout our development. In this module, you are exploring the emergence of social behavior during childhood and how it contributes to the development of the social self.

First, title your post “Development of the Social Self.”

For your initial post, review the videos A Class Divided and Social Development: Crash Course Sociology #13. Then respond to the following:

  • Based on the content in “A Class Divided,” are children immune to the attitudes and behaviors of other group members? Explain.
  • In what ways might important developmental milestones influence social development in childhood?
  • Based on psychological evidence, should antisocial behavior in adulthood be primarily blamed on impaired socialization as a child? If so, what types of interventions might help to remediate these impairments? If not, what do you think leads to adult antisocial behavior?
  • Can you teach children tolerance and inclusiveness if they are already indoctrinated by societal intolerance? What if the children in “A Class Divided” had never had a follow-up class explaining brown eyes as an indicator of the smart people?
  • How does the concept of development of the social self apply to any of the following programmatic course themes:
    • Self-care
    • Social justice
    • Emotional intelligence
    • Career connections
    • Ethics
Stakeholder analysis assignment

Submit by Day 7 a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

  • Identify which stakeholders you would involve and their roles in the evaluation process.
  • Identify what you see as each stakeholder’s interest in the program you selected, and in the evaluation results.
  • Identify any ethical issues that should be considered.
  • Determine whether you will be able to meet their needs with the evaluation you have planned so far.
  • After thinking about your evaluation from various angles, analyze ways in which you envision the need for the evaluation and the end results being put to use.
  • Explain any changes that this analysis suggests for the remaining sections of your design that you have already developed.

Usability category paper

Plagiarism Free document REQUIRED.

Usability Category Paper

A Usability Evaluation examines the way users interact with products and services in order to achieve a goal. Often times, there are measures that are tied to those goals that are quantified. Academic literature has a robust catalog of research on studies that examine various perspectives that explore user attitudes and experiences. Such attitudes and experiences include:

  • Learnability 
  • Findability 
  • Satisfaction 
  • Efficiency 
  • Memorability 
  • Effectiveness 
  • Ease of Use 
  • Error Handling 

Remember, usability is not one-dimensional. It is a complex system of properties that integrates many factors. It is subjective from user to user. For this assignment,  you are asked to explore one of these topics. You are to conduct an analytical research review of the assigned usability category/dimension above by evaluating 6-10 academic journals that focus on this topic. 
You MUST include the following as part of the assignment. 

  • Abstract
  • Title Page
  • Introduction
  • Literature Review of Term
  • Conclusion

Considerations:

  • Must provide a minimum of six sources and how it was evaluated by the authors/scholars in each study
  • Must evaluate the study method used to complete the analysis.
  • Identify any unique similarities or differences across each study.
  • Define your own term based on your understanding of the literature you’ve evaluated.
  • Explain how you derive this definition.
  • Qualify/quantify the definition by explaining how many sources you used to come up with this definition.
  • Make Recommendations of Additional Ideas For Future Literature Review Consideration
  • The paper should be a minimum of 6 pages. This does not include the cover page, abstract, or citations. You must use APA format throughout the entire paper.
