Assignment 5: Effective Communication in Intimate Relationships

Imagine a scenario in which two partners are discussing getting tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In this scenario, the partners demonstrate through discussion their understanding of the symptoms of STIs, the methods used to test for STIs, and the way in which STIs are treated as well as their capacity to engage in effective communication with one another about this sensitive topic.

Write out a role-play conversation between the partners in which they make use of effective verbal and nonverbal communication strategies (including active listening, “I” statements, and emotional validation) to discuss getting tested for and the possibility of getting treated for STIs. At the end of your role play, produce a brief, 1-paragraph summary of how effective communication was used.

Your script must be at least 650 words long. Your script should demonstrate accurate knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases, and how to test for them as well as knowledge of communication strategies. Use at least 2 references to support your work.

What do you feel were the three most important cultural impacts of these growing connections, and why did you pick those?

Final exam

1. For the period 600 BCE to 1200 CE, compare and contrast the societies of Africa with the societies of the Americas. (This can be done by selecting several points of comparison, and then using just one or two societies from Africa and one or two from the Americas as examples to illustrate your points).

2. Compare and contrast the society and culture of the Islamic Civilization and Christian Civilization (“Christendom”) during the period of time Strayer calls the “Third Wave” of civilization, and what is also sometimes called the “Middle Ages” (approximately 600-1450 CE at its broadest). Note, this is not asking you to compare the religious beliefs of the religions of Islam and Christianity, but rather to focus on the broader society and culture of these two civilizations.

3. All of these chapters in Part 3 of your texbook talk about the impact of increasing connection between civilizations (whether through trade, exploration, or conquest) on cultures (including religions). What do you feel were the three most important cultural impacts of these growing connections, and why did you pick those?

4. First, explain how a relatively small number of Mongols come to create the world’s largest land empire. Second, think about Part 3 of your book (which includes Chapters 7-12): All of Part 3 deals with increasing interactions between civilizations as trade and commerce expanded, and about how the cultures of the world were changed because of this. So then, why is there a chapter about the Mongols in this section of the book? (Or put another way – describe the role the Mongols played in creating a more interconnected world).

Introduction to Leadership and Team-working

Assignment Brief Flow Chart NUR4034

If you have been on placement you might want to summarise the qualities the nurse leader demonstrated in the clinical setting and how it relates to the leadership style you have identified.

If you have not been on placement you may want to consider a leader characteristics, style and traits you may wish to desire to be like.

Identify a leadership style e.g. autocratic, transformation what are their qualities?
How can these qualities be used by a future nurse leader and team working in the clinical areas.
Provide references e.g. such as the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) (2018), and other references

Identify a health promotion topic covered on this module. E.g. cardiovascular system, stroke, reproduction, eating disorder or obesity.
What is your health promotion theory? How does it link to the ONE phase of the nursing process you have identified and will be using to undertake your health promotion?
Identify the qualities you will be using to as a nurse leader to carry this through.

SMART Identify
Specific – What have you identified from your nurse leader that you wish to personally develop on as a future nurse leader?
If you chose communication it has many components so be specific, i.e. listening, nonverbal, verbal, written.

Develop your own heuristic algorithm. Identify simple criteria and strategies to find short paths. This algorithm should be taken as a baseline. It does not have to be optimized to perform fast or well, but should be better than random movements.

Python programming and analysis

Tests your Python skills and capacity to plan a statistical analysis. You need to develop a simple game consisting of a rectangular grid (of size height x width) where each cell has a random value between 0 and n. An agent starts at the upper-left corner of the grid and must reach the lower-right corner of the grid as fast as possible. Accordingly, the task consists of finding the shortest path.

There are two game modes:
⦁ The time spent on a cell is the number on this cell
• The time spent on a cell is the absolute of the difference between the previous cell the agent was on and the current cell it is on

– The task is divided in the following parts:

– Implementation of the game. Implement the game in a structured and flexible way to allow the selection of game modes and parameters. Build a method to build and visualize the grid filled with random numbers. Build a method to visualise a path. (30%)

– Develop your own heuristic algorithm. Identify simple criteria and strategies to find short paths. This algorithm should be taken as a baseline. It does not have to be optimized to perform fast or well, but should be better than random movements. Please implement this part without searching for standard algorithms to find short paths. (10%)

– Implement the Dijkstra’s algorithm to find the shortest path between two points. There are many refined versions of this algorithm that you can find in the literature. Implement a simple version close to the original algorithm, using a simple priority queue. Write your own code as much as possible and provide detailed comments of each step. Relying on more sophisticated implementations available online is not the objective of the task, but to be able to write your own code. (30%)

– Plan and implement a statistical analysis to characterize the length of the shortest path in dependence of several parameters of the grid and comparing the two game modes. Relevant parameters are size of the grid, distribution from which cell numbers are generated, etc. (30%)

You can use the built-in libraries of python (math, random, …), numpy, and matplotlib.
