Civil Engineering Question

Designing a structure that is safe and meets all the necessary building codes and regulations involves several steps. Here are some key considerations:

  1. Identify the building codes and regulations that apply to your project: You need to be familiar with the codes and regulations that apply to your project, which can vary depending on the location, size, and type of structure.
  2. Determine the structural requirements: You need to determine the structural requirements of your project based on factors such as the intended use of the structure, the expected loads, and the environmental conditions.
  3. Select appropriate materials: You need to select appropriate materials based on the structural requirements and other factors such as cost, availability, and sustainability.
  4. Design the structure: You need to design the structure to meet the structural requirements and building codes and regulations, using appropriate software and tools.
  5. Obtain necessary approvals and permits: You need to obtain necessary approvals and permits from local building authorities before beginning construction.
  6. Conduct inspections during construction: You need to conduct inspections during construction to ensure that the structure is being built according to the approved design and meets all the necessary building codes and regulations.
  7. Test the structure: You need to test the structure after completion to ensure that it meets all the necessary safety and performance requirements.
  8. Maintain the structure: You need to ensure that the structure is maintained properly over its lifetime to ensure continued safety and compliance with building codes and regulations

Assignment 4: Online News Sharing @ Mashable

The dataset D5.2 (described in C5.2) contains information of online news articles published by Mashable (www.mashable.com). Some of these articles contains videos. Our primary question in this assignment is whether including at least one video in an article leads to the article being shared more in social media. Accordingly, the key outcome is “shares”—the number of social media shares for each article. The treatment indicator will be a variable that equals 1 if the number of videos included in an article (num_videos) is non–zero, and equals 0 otherwise.

1. Task 1:
a. [2 points] Based on linear regression results, is the treatment associated with a typically larger or lower number of shares? For simplicity, base your answer on a regression of the outcome on the treatment indicator (i.e., do not include other covariates).

2. Task 2:
a. [2 points] Evaluate the propensity score overlap between treated and non–treated subsamples.
b. [3 points] Create a matched sample based on logistic propensity scores and in a way that accounts for overlap considerations.
c. [2 points] Assess the matched sample in terms of covariate balancing. In your judgement, has the matching procedure been successful?

3. Task 3:
a. [2 points] Based on your analysis above, provide a matching ATE estimate. Do videos increase the number of shares? By how much? For simplicity, base your answer on a regression of the outcome on the treatment indicator (i.e., do not include other covariates).
b. [2 points] Provide a rationale that explains the disparity between the estimate of 3.a and 1.a (i.e., your rationale must describe some form of behavior for why one estimate is larger than the other).
c. [2 points] Suppose that the unconfoundedness assumption holds: what could then be
the “fudge factor” (discussed in class) in this case? Explain.

Health Promotion: Prevention of Disease

Case Study Module 8
Instructions: Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions. Please provide evidence–based rationales for your answers. APA, 7th ed. must be followed.

CASE STUDY: Active Labor: Susan Wong
Mrs. Wong, a first–time mother, is admitted to the birthing suite in early labor after spontaneous rupture of membranes at home. She is at 38 weeks of gestation with a history of abnormal alpha–fetoprotein levels at 16 weeks of pregnancy.
She was scheduled for ultrasonography to visualize the fetus to rule out an open spinal defect or Down syndrome, but never followed through. Mrs. Wong and her husband disagreed about what to do (keep or terminate the pregnancy) if the ultrasonography indicated a spinal problem, so they felt they did not want this information.

Reflective Questions
1. As the nurse, what priority data would you collect from this couple to help define relevant interventions to meet their needs?
2. How can you help this couple if they experience a negative outcome in the birthing suite? What are your personal views on terminating or continuing a pregnancy with a risk of a potential anomaly? What factors may influence your views?
3. With the influence of the recent Human Genome Project and the possibility of predicting open spinal defects earlier in pregnancy, how will maternity care change in the future?
