MY EBP: FALL PREVENTION IN THE ELDERLY

Sustaining change can be difficult, as there are many variables that can affect implementation. One critical component of EBP is to ensure that practice change is part of an organization’s culture so it will continue to impact outcomes over time. Name two potential barriers that may prevent your EBP change proposal from continuing to obtain the same desired results 6 months to a year from now, and your strategies for overcoming these barriers.

Healthcare is a multidisciplinary field, e.g., there are primary care physicians, specialists, nurses, technicians, pharmacists, administrators, and others. They all work together as a single unit for common goals…”safe and quality in patient care.”

Public health is no different. Public health is also a multidisciplinary field composed of epidemiologists, environmentalists, biostatisticians, behavioral scientists, and/or health educators. Public health also includes specialists in clinical research, chronic disease, infectious disease, emergency medical services, food safety, global emergency preparedness, and response professionals. Some public health specialists focus on health disparities, international/global health, laboratory practices, maternal and child health concerns, women’s health, mental health, nutrition/dietetics, occupational health and safety, and toxicology. Finally, there are public health officials that focus on the economics or finance, of public health and communities, in addition to public health laws and public health policies.

In about 250 words, following the conclusion of your paper, apply the Saint Leo University core value of excellence in a brief proposal for a community health improvement initiative to turn a negative into positive regarding your chosen topic. Incorporate at least one additional reference above and beyond the textbook and cite both the textbook and your external reference(s) using APA style. (The textbook is “An Introduction to Community Health” by James F. Mckenzie)

Saint Leo core value of excellence is:
All of us, individually and collectively, work hard to ensure that our students develop the character, learn the skills, and assimilate the knowledge essential to become morally responsible leaders. The success of our University depends upon a conscientious commitment to our mission, vision, and goals.

Write a minimum 7-8 page paper which forwards the analysis of a topic of your choice: art, film, a location, a build, and whatever you find interesting. You will analyze, interpret and explicate the topic according to the criteria of one or more of the critical strategies (or lenses) including: Formalist, Semiotic, Psychoanalytic, Socio-economic, Feminist critical approaches. (You are not limited to these lenses.) The final paper will be submitted in MLA format with a works cited.

As always, your thesis should forward an arguable interpretation and/or evaluation of the text’s (remember everything is a text) value, impact, or significance according to the criteria of any of the critical strategies or “lenses” listed above. For example, in “Mock Feminism: Waiting to Exhale,” Bell Hooks uses the feminist and socio-economic lenses (as well as semiotic) to challenge the “feminist” pretense of what Bell argues is nothing more than mainstream Hollywood capitalizing on traditional sexist and racist stereotypes under the guise of “progressive politics.”

This assignment is designed to assess learning outcomes:
1. Appreciate the historical and social context of specific international human rights treaties and utilise a feminist critique to assess their comparative achievement.
2. Critically examine the sources of and theoretical underpinnings of international human rights, with particular concern for gender and feminist jurisprudence, and including the extent of and justification for specific women’s rights.
3. Critically evaluate the comparative merits and shortcomings of specific treaties concerned with gender and discrimination, and analyse particular substantive definitions and their impact on international law.
4. Appreciate the effect of regional and cultural interpretation of specific human rights and investigate the role and nature of enforcement.

Social Security Programs
Conduct research on the current state of Social Security. Based on your research, write a three-to-five page paper (not including the title and reference pages). Your paper should be written in a scholarly third-person tone; it should be in APA format. The essay should address the following:

Explain the concept of Social Security as originally envisioned by President Roosevelt.
Evaluate the viability of Social Security within the next 20-30 years.
Provide two or three recommendations that would improve the viability of Social Security for the next generation.
Evaluate how these recommendations can best be implemented within the highly political environment that exists with this issue (including factors such as the implementation itself, communication, education, support, etc.).
In addition to the text, cite at least two scholarly references to support your discussion

AYR Co. is considering two separate projects known as ‘Aspire’ and ‘Wolf’ which are quite different but each of which has the potential to increase AYR Co.’s market share. To date $120,000 has been spent on market research into the increase in demand that can be expected for each project. The next stage is to conduct a financial appraisal to determine which project should be taken forward as AYR Co. can only afford to fund one project at this time. Project Aspire: This project will require the acquisition of plant and machinery costing $2,250,000 which is payable immediately. This machinery will have a scrap value of $375,000 at the end of the 5 years. There is also $140,000 working capital to be used immediately. This amount has been taken from the company’s retained profits and will be repaid at the end of the project. Cash inflows are expected to be $650,000 in year 1 rising at a rate of 7.5% per annum for years 2 to 5 inclusive. Variable costs in year 1 are expected to be $27,000 per annum and are expected to rise at 6.75% per annum. Capital allowances are available on the plant and machinery as follows: $ Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 600,000 390,000 345,000 300,000 240,000 This project will expand the current product range and will appeal to existing and potential customers. Project Wolf: This project will require an immediate outlay of $2,250,000. This expenditure will not attract capital allowances. Annual cash inflows of $955,000 are expected to be constant for the life of the project. Material costs are expected to be $14,400 in the first year, rising at an annual inflation rate of 7.5% per annum. Other expenses are expected to be $18,000 in year 1 and these are expected to fall by 7.5% per annum over the life of the project. To undertake Project Wolf, factory space which is currently generating rental income will need to be used for the project. The rental income, which would not have been expected to change over the five-year period, is $75,000 per annum. This project will take the company in a new direction appealing to a different type of customer. Additional financial information:  Corporation tax is paid at a rate of 20% and tax is payable one year in arrears.  The weighted average cost of capital is 10% and, unless otherwise stated, cash flows occur at the end of the year to which they relate.  A straight line method of depreciation at a rate of 20% is applied to all noncurrent assets. The initial investment of $2.250m, for whichever project is chosen, is significant in terms of value for AYR Co. The board of directors is considering ways to finance the investment, and will choose between, increasing equity by issuing new ordinary shares, or taking on new debt in the form of a bank loan at a fixed rate of interest. AYR Co. is currently financed as follows: Capital Employed $million Equity holder funds 20 Long term debt 18 Total 38

Required: Prepare a report to the Directors of AYR Co. which includes the following.

1. A calculation of the Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Payback Period for projects Aspire and Wolf. Detailed calculations should be included as an appendix to the report. All cash flows should be rounded to the nearest $. 30% 2.

Analysis and evaluation of the investment project options as follows: i. A recommendation regarding which project (if any) to undertake; ii. Justifications for your recommendation including an evaluation of the investment appraisal techniques used in task 1 above. iii. A summary of other factors that should be considered and information that may be needed prior to making a final decision. 30% 3. A discussion of the two sources of finance being considered by the board of AYR Co. Your report should include: i. A description of Equity and Debt. ii. An explanation of the costs of each source of finance. iii. An analysis of the effect the selection of the source of finance may have on AYR Co.’s weighted average cost of capital. iv. An assessment of the impact of the selection of finance on current and potential shareholders and lenders. 30% Marks are available for presentation of the report, which must not exceed 3,000 words.

Over 127,000 United States citizens were imprisoned during World War II. Their crime? Being of Japanese ancestry. Despite the lack of any concrete evidence, Japanese Americans were suspected of remaining loyal to their ancestral land. Anti-Japanese paranoia increased because of a large Japanese presence on the West Coast. In the event of a Japanese invasion of the American mainland, Japanese Americans were feared as a security risk. Succumbing to advice from his cabinet and popular opinion, President Roosevelt signed an executive order in February of 1942 ordering the relocation of all Americans of Japanese ancestry on the west coast to internment camps in the interior of the United States.
