Multicultural Case Study

You did a good job explaining your biases. Unfortunately, you didn’t comprehensively discuss strategies to address all of the biases. What cultural competence strategies will you employ that are behavioral, measurable, and professional to increase your cultural competence?

What would you do in order to learn how to use it with patients? Would you simply remain open to learning about hypnosis or “educate” yourself?

How would you actually take action to gain competence? Now, apply that same logic to getting culturally competent.

Emerging Technology and Digital Transformation Paper

Discuss how the technologies are a possible source of competitive advantage and how they pose a risk to your organization. A good paper will identify business cases where an emerging technology could help the company compete, not just cut costs or improve efficiency.

Additionally, the paper should evaluate the organization’s ability to implement the recommendations and the required leadership and organizational modifications required to execute the strategy successfully.

The Movie “The Help”

What is(are) the major underlying problem(s)experienced by the characters? Provide a brief summary of the film that doesn’t simply describe the plot, but rather describes and captures the nature of the problem(s). Keep in mind that there is no single correct answer to this, so you must use your educated, informed opinion.

•Provide examples of how one or more characters’ behavior illustrates the problem(s).

•Now ask yourself, “What does each person you identified NEED?”. Provide a prescription of sorts, based upon course material, of what the characters could do to implement positive change in their lives.

In fact, you must apply at least five (5) concepts from the course, two (2) of which must come from material in chapters 9, 10, 11, 13or 14.Note that there are many characters and some of them may not be relevant to the problem(s)that you have identified in the first step. T

hus, you do not need to give a prescription for EACH character, but for each character that is relevant to the problem you identified.

•The key to this assignment is to show creative and thoughtful application of the course material to the complex situation depicted in this film. Apply as many concepts from the course that you feel are relevant and that you can adequately apply within the page limit.

•Reminder –keep your answer concise, but thorough, and within the 4-page limit.

•A final note to consider: In many ways, this course, and this assignment, should highlight the contrast between clear abnormal behavior (psychopathology) that is commonly treated by a The Movie “The Help” or psychiatrist, and maladaptive functioning or an adjustment problem, which is more of a temporary, situational disturbance in the everyday functioning of an individual. Usually, such disturbances, although quite distressful and disruptive, do not reflect underlying psychopathology and are considered sub-clinical.

R code..soil samples

In this assessment you will use the soils data set created earlier in the course by the class to demonstrate an ability to summarize, present and statistically analyze data.

1.  Demonstrate an understanding of hypothesis development.

2.  Demonstrate the ability to summarize and plot data within R and Excel.

3.  Demonstrate the ability to choose and run appropriate statistical tests.

4.  interpret the output of statistical tests and accept or reject hypothesis accordingly.

ASSESSMENT:

The aim of this assessment is for you to demonstrate that you are able to independently analyse a dataset you have gathered in R. Remember to differentiate between ‘treatments’, ‘independent samples’ and ‘replicates’ when choosing data for analysis (refer to first lecture and reading).

Note both Excel and Text files have been provided with your data, these files may not be in the correct format for appropriate analysis and you may want to carry out further refinement. If you choose to do this, save your edited Excel files as a text file to be imported into R (make sure the column names are sensible).

As part of this assessment you are expected to:

1. Develop two sets of hypothesis (each with both a null [H0] and alternate [H1]) which consider physical

or chemical differences between the top and sub soil. These can be informed by the information known about soils from your reading and other courses (see reading list for week two).

*Note* It is a well expressed and correctly developed hypothesis I am looking for here, not a technically correct one, so don’t worry if you don’t have a soils background.

2. Provide a set of descriptive statistics for each variable measured for both top and sub soil. This information must be provided in a table and the R code used to achieve this table must be listed beneath.

3. Provide a graph (export from R and insert into your document) which summarizes the data used to test each hypothesis, also list the code used to generate the graph.

4. Test the appropriate data for normality; present the output and your interpretation.

5. Select and run an appropriate inferential test for each hypothesis. You must provide evidence for inferential test outputs (code, graphs and test outputs). Provide a short explanation of the process you used to choose the statistical test, i.e explain how your data fulfilled test assumptions (up to 350 words). HINT: Use lecture materials (most of the clues you will need will be available there) with independent reading and research to support this section.

– A brief introduction to the report to describe what samples were analyzed and what comparisons you look at in your report.
– Methodology

– Very brief methodology describing how the samples were collected and analyzed (remember the samples were collected from the soil pits and analyzed in the lab.)

– This is where you present the data analysis outlined in points 2 – 5, above.

– Remember to include the R code you used for any calculations, graphs etc.

– Remember to include a legend with brief description and figure number under each graph.(these don’t count towards word count for the section) – Discussion (≤ 200 words)

– State whether the null hypothesis has been accepted or rejected and explain what this means in the context of the samples that you analyzed.

Data Modelling and SQL

Should tobacco companies be held responsible for smoking-related illnesses and deaths? By relating your discussion to the above scenario where applicable.

1. Discuss the characteristics of Hierarchical, network and relational database models and present practical applications where each one might be more appropriate to use.

2. Compare the SQL databases and NoSQL databases. Your discussion should
include the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of each.

Task 1: Conceptual Modelling [20%]

1. Identity all the possible entities you can find in the problem scenario and list them
in alphabetical order.

2. Using Crow’s foot notation, design a conceptual data model for the Jet-Arline
database in a modelling tool of your choice. All entity types and the relationships
between them must be clearly shown. Your design should show all cardinality and
participation constraints accurately. Any enhanced features used (e.g.
generalization/specialization) must be indicated.

Task 2: Conceptual Modelling [25%]

1. Discuss the principles of normalization and demonstrate using examples the steps
you followed to achieve normal forms in relation to the given scenario. Your
demonstration must show the full process with explanations, starting from UNF,
2NF to 3NF (Note: There is no requirement here to go through the full list of
attributes in the data model for the Jet-Airline).

2 Produce an ERD with all the normalized entities containing the relevant attributes.
State any de-normalization, if any, in all your relations and dearly state the reasons
for de-normalizing relations in your implemented solution.

3 Map an ER model devised above into a set of logical relations in the relational data
model.

Organizational Conflict

Workplace conflicts occur almost daily. We experience them in our individual and group interactions at meetings, training, projects, office chats, etc. Conflicts result from differing views and interests. While most conflicts are resolved quickly, some may linger and could hamper open and honest communication. Select ONE of the following topics to write about in-depth:

1. Think of a recent conflict situation you experienced at work.

What conflict style did you engage in?

What style did the other party engage in?

What might you do differently next time you face a similar interpersonal challenge, and why?

2. Are there times when an “Avoidant” style is is the most effective?

Why or why not?

3. Sometimes, people assume that a “Collaborative” approach to conflict resolution is better than other modes. Is this the case? Why or why not?
