Week 6 Attempt

Using the Model Penal Code, answer the following:

1) Michelle needed money to pay her rent. She is behind 3 months in rent and fears being evicted. She decides to rob Capital One Bank. Michelle asks her roommate Cheryl to help her. They agree to split the money 60% Michelle and 40% for Cheryl. This was based on the fact that Cheryl was going to only purchase the items necessary to commit the crime, like the gun and ski mask, and agreed to be the lookout at the bank. Cheryl purchased a gun and ski mask early in the week. Midweek, she stopped into the local pub for a few drinks. She began telling the bartender about her plan to get money. The bartender said nothing. Later that week, before the robbery was to take place, Michelle and Cheryl went to get their nails done. While at the nail salon, they were arrested. As the prosecutor, with what crimes can you charge Michelle and Cheryl? Do their actions constitute the crime of attempt? Discuss why or why not. Use legal reasoning to support your response.

2) April and Troy have been unhappily married for years. April wanted a divorce, but Troy feared April would get too much of his money and the marital home. He decided it was best to kill her. He decided to poison her. He went to CVS and inquired of the pharmacist about needing a sleep aid for his insomnia. The pharmacist gave him a bottle of sleeping pills. Troy believed if he gave April several pills in her tea, she would die peacefully in her sleep. She drank the tea, but nothing happened but for a little drowsiness. Troy is charged with attempted murder. Will Troy be found guilty of attempted murder? Discuss why or why not. Use legal reasoning to support your response.

3) Share any similar cases that you found. How did conducting research and going through each step of legal analysis help you to reach this conclusion? Analyze how you applied critical thinking and legal analytical skills to assist you in this regard. What new research and/or analytical tool or method did you try for the first time this week? What do you think you do well and what would you like to strengthen so that you continue to improve?

4) Collaborate with each other as the week goes on to make all aspects of this Discussion as robust as possible.

Module 2 Readings

For the Module 2 readings, like in Module 1, we are focusing on the basic substantive concepts of Machine Learning as a subset discipline of Artificial Intelligence.

The Alpaydin MIT book is a great introduction to the topic, and over this and next Module we will be reading the book and highlighting the various components of machine learning. When reading the book, note the various components of ML: algorithms, data structures, mathematics, applications, etc. See how they are all related and are ultimately organized into a viable ML process, set of algorithms, and product in order to solve a specific problem.

Remember, in computer science our goal is to solve problems, whether they are mathematical, scientific, medical, business or related to another discipline.

Also remember Occam’s Razer when dealing with creating ML solutions. The simplist solutions are usually the best. (Especially when complexity increases software risk!!!). The brief overview is to remind you of this vital universal engineering (and life) principle.

The Brighterion white paper goes over the intersection between AI and ML. In this directed study we will read many white papers, as our goal with ML is to develop solutions to problems for industry. As a computer science and AI professional we must keep up with industry and its developments as well as the companies that are leading the AI/ML edge.

1. Read Alpaydin text: Pages 1-84

2. Read the Brighteron White paper on AI/ML

Scenario

As the director of the Quality Improvement department for a large trauma center, I believe that purchasing a full-scale simulation room would be a valuable investment in reducing reinfection rates. The simulation room would be equipped with the latest tools and simulations for wound management, sterile surgical processes, infection control, and line placements.

Financial analysis

To determine the feasibility of purchasing the simulation room, we need to conduct a cost-benefit analysis. This analysis will involve calculating the costs of purchasing and maintaining the simulation room versus the potential cost savings from reducing reinfection rates.

If you think the value of an investment will be worth 10% of what it will be in 5 years, you can use these formulas to figure out how much money you will have to save each month to have enough money when the investment is actually worth.

FV = PV × ( 1+1 )n

= 500,000 × ( 1.1 )5

=805,255

The return on investment may be calculated over 5 years with an interest rate of 10% will be.

If you take cash out of a bank account over time, sometimes the money will come back as a negative number because it’s worth less now than when you took it out. But this isn’t always the case. Sometimes the cash comes back as a positive number because it’s worth more now than when you took it out.

If we look at the calculation results, we can see that it would be better to reject the project because the estimated interest for the current values would be paid if we invested it differently, at a rate of 10% over the next 5 years. This is higher than the net present value of the project investment.

Stakeholders:

To ensure the success of this project, we need to involve key stakeholders, including patients, doctors, administrators, infectious control team, quality team, and supplies. It is important to get their input and buy-in to the project to ensure that it meets their needs and expectations.(Huang X, 2018).

Implementation plan:

To succeed in getting the simulation room purchased, we need to develop a comprehensive process that includes a business plan, approval purchase, building the simulation room, and staffing it with trained personnel. The business plan should outline the financial and operational benefits of the simulation room and how it aligns with the trauma center’s goals and objectives. The approval purchase process should involve presenting the business plan to the relevant decision-makers and obtaining their approval. Once the purchase is approved, we can move forward with building the simulation room and staffing it with trained personnel. We should also develop an implementation plan that includes training programs for staff and regular evaluations to ensure that the simulation room is being used effectively.(Huang X, 2018).

This is was question

You are a director of the quality improvement department for a large trauma center. For your department, you feel there is a need to purchase a full-scale simulation room. This simulation room would be outfitted with the latest tools and simulations for wound management, sterile surgical process, infection control, and line placements. The overall goal would be to decrease reinfection rates. The capital need for the simulation center is $500,000, producing a decrease in cost for reinfection rates of $120,000 per year.
