1. During a concert at Hammons Center, a large number of patrons decided to leave 20 minutes early to avoid traffic congestion getting away from campus to late evening "study" spots. Due to the large number involved in the exodus, there was considerable congestion in the parking area before the concert was over. This occurrence depicts which of the following?…
Reading through the Holmes-Rahe Readjustment Scale I had a total score of 246. This score was in between 150-299 of life changing units. Some of the scoring of the life events I think were scored a little weird. However, I do believe that the major events such as death of a spouse should be scored high like it was, but the events such as son or daughter leaving home should have been scored lower whereas the minor violations of the law should have been scored higher. I state this because minor violations of the law could result in someone getting hurt even though they are minor. In addition, I believe that death of a close friend should be high in scoring in correlation to death of a spouse. The life event that I think should be added is death…

In 1788, Jones was asked by Catherine the Great to join the Russian Navy. He accepted, but requested that he became rear admiral. In 1789, John Paul Jones was discharged from the Russian Navy, and he returned to Paris. How would things go if a hero was forgotten about after their death? Things would probably not go very good. However, this happened to John Paul Jones, and things went fairly well. Jones died in the midst of the French Revolution. He died on July 18th, 1792 in Paris, France. He died without receiving commission from Jefferson. Although today John Paul Jones is generally considered among the greatest American Naval Heroes, and the founder of the American Naval Tradition, his grave was forgotten until the Ambassador of France found it in 1905. John Paul Jones’ remains were then moved to Annapolis and since 1913 have been enshrined in a crypt at the U.S. Naval Academy.…
William’s became fascinated with a local physician and decided to follow in his footsteps. Williams began work as an apprentice to the physician Dr. Henry Palmer for two years. In 1880, Daniel entered the Chicago Medical School, where he graduated in 1883 (Gordon 1). This later became the medical department of Northwestern University, and thus he became the first African-American to graduate from that medical school (Gordon 1). William’s began his practice in Chicago, and at that time there were only three other black physicians there (Provident Foundation). He then embarked on a series of educational and medical endeavors that almost single-handedly changed the course of African-American medical history in the United States (Gordon 1). William’s opened Provident Hospital and training school for nurses on May 4, 1891(Provident Foundation). This was the country’s first interracial hospital and…

There are many theories of emotion in biopsychology. These theories are based upon the Darwin, James-Lange and Cannon-Bard theories. One other biopsychology theories of emotion is based upon the limbic system (Pinel, 2009).…
The Institute of Medicine report shares many views of transformation for all aspects of nursing. These views contend that several changes will need to happen for the future of healthcare to be successful. No one ever predicted ten years ago that there would be an IOM report stating these perspectives of healthcare, but there was always someone attempting to predict the future of nursing.…

Henri sought to explore the relationship between dynamic performance measurement systems and organizational performance.…
Human Services in the United States recently received what many have heralded a big win for Americans nationally when The Affordable Care Act was signed into law. Politically the health care law known as Obama Care was signed into law March 23, 2010 and immediately was challenged in the courts as being unconstitutional and infringing upon the rights of citizens with the mandated requirement that all Americans purchase health insurance or face penalties for not doing so. Two years ago on June 28th 2012 the Supreme Court rendered a final decision to uphold the health care law. This decision almost instantly caused a wide range of political uproar from the right, but from a human stand…

In order to practice, one must have obtained both an undergraduate four-year degree often in a type of science, and a doctoral degree from a certified medical school. In addition to this extensive education, a profession in the medical field requires a certification from either the state or a National organization that grants the ability to practice medicine. Of the many colleges that offer a major in medical sciences, I would select John Hopkins University in Baltimore Maryland. I would select John Hopkins because of its reputation and history of constantly remaining at the top of the line for medical schools. John Hopkins University’s reputation is likely connected to the fact that they require a substantial amount of achievement and academic merit in high school. According to statistics in compliance with John Hopkins University’s’ acceptance rate, an average GPA of 3.8 along with an average SAT score of 2090 and 4 years of a Foreign language, a Science, an English, a History, and a Math satisfied the requirements for the 18.13% of students admitted out of 21,336 total freshman applicants. According to my Roadtrip Nation Leader, Jim Yong Kim, studying the field of medicine was the best thing he could have done with his life as it gave him a…
Our topic is about harmful effects that can affect a student’s performance in school and daily life. Our population of interest would be college students as they are the demographic most subject to many negative influences. Our sample would be stratified because we want to compare the answers of each of the classes: freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. As a result, we would be able to see what types of harmful effects each class of students are most concerned about.…
As the world of work becomes more complex, many workers need training to avoid losing their jobs or being passed over for promotion. Consequently, many who would not have considered college 20 or even 15 years ago are finding themselves back in school. As adults become students, employers, colleges, and workers are changing old notions about how to go about pursuing higher learning.…
Hansen Consulting proudly presents the following statistical information for Otto’s Auto parts. Statistics is a branch of mathematics that makes it possible for you to gain an edge over your competitors by providing a method for collection of data, and a way to summarize and quantify it to represent real world observations from which predictions can be made. Statistics also includes stochastic modeling, which is a powerful tool that incorporates random variables to predict future outcomes. For decades insurance companies have successfully profited from using stochastic modeling for making predictions of unknown entities. Stochastic models can be run hundreds or even thousands of times to show the likelihood of which outcomes are likely to occur, based on different managerial decisions, and what their expected ranges are in the long run. We will discuss stochastic modeling in further detail later.…
