Emerging Technologies: The Future of Flying Taxis

Investigate the usage of flying taxis and their future. Discuss the legislation and maintenance regulations required for their operation. 
Also to include their future and effects on environment, safety measures such as collision avoidance technology, maintenance practices and legislation. Technical aspects will include their design, operation and how they are controlled. (Detailed guidelines are provided in attached files, along with a presentation for some ideas to follow)

Collect a data set and conduct a multiple regression analysis

Collect a real data (pls. provide the website from where the data was collected.) Data must be from a verifiable source (e.g., newspaper, magazine, periodical, internet, your own survey), but cannot be taken from the data sets in textbook (not from Statistics for Bus and Economics, 13th ed., McClave, Benson.) SX PRINTOUTOF DATA LISTING: ALL 3 VARIABLES, plus INTERACTION and SQUARED TERMS (include brief variable descriptions, experiment unit, and source of data on a separate page.) Please, review both attachments and if possible use information according to Florida state.

Case Study

Academy Health recently published a document that includes four interesting case studies that look at paying for population health. All four cases are included in one document, each about 5 pages long. You should skim the document and select one of the four that is of most interest to you and do the case study analysis on this article. Here is the link https://www.academyhealth.org/sites/default/files/Paying_for_Pop_Health_Case_Studies_Full_Jan2018.pdf 
 

Using the Data/Information/Knowledge/Wisdom Continuum

Review the information in Figure 6–1 in Nursing Informatics and the Foundation of Knowledge.
Develop a clinical question related to your area of practice that you would like to explore.
Consider what you currently know about this topic. What additional information would you need to answer the question?
Using the continuum of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom, determine how you would go about researching your question.
Explore the available databases in the Walden Library. Identify which of these databases you would use to find the information or data you need.
Once you have identified useful databases, how would you go about finding the most relevant articles and information?
Consider how you would extract the relevant information from the articles.
How would you take the information and organize it in a way that was useful? How could you take the step from simply having useful knowledge to gaining wisdom?

Write a 3- to 4-page paper that addresses the following:
Summarize the question you developed, and then relate how you would work through the four steps of the data, information, knowledge, wisdom continuum. Be specific.
Identify the databases and search words you would use.
Relate how you would take the information gleaned and turn it into useable knowledge.
Can informatics be used to gain wisdom? Describe how you would progress from simply having useful knowledge to the wisdom to make decisions about the information you have found during your database search.
Clinical question used is… How does nurses decrease CAUTIs to help lower patient infection rates? 
CINAHL database is waldens research database for nursing.

Standardized Coding Systems

As a result of the fragmented nature of the health care system, professionals in various specialty areas of medicine have developed their own unique sets of terminology to communicate within that specialty. In the past, limited attention has been given to codifying practices in order for them to be understood and utilized across disciplines or through different information technology systems. The implementation of a federally mandated electronic medical records system, therefore, poses a challenge to nursing professionals and others who must be prepared to utilize standardized codes for the new system. Why are coding standards important for promoting consistent, high-quality care?
According to Rutherford (2008,para. 15), “Improved communication with other nurses, health care professionals, and administrators of the institution in which nurses work is a key benefit of using a standardized nursing language.” In this Discussion you consider the reasoning behind and the value of standardized codification.
To prepare
Review the information in Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice. Determine which set of terminologies are appropriate for your specialty or area of expertise.
Reflect on the importance of continuity in terminology and coding systems.
In the article, “Standardized Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing Practice?” the author recounts a visit to a local hospital to view its implementation of a new coding system. One of the nurses commented to her, “We document our care using standardized nursing languages but we don’t fully understand why we do” (Rutherford, 2008, para. 1). Consider how you would inform this nurse (and others like her) of the importance of standardized nursing terminologies.
Reflect on the value of using a standard language in nursing practice. Consider if standardization can be limited to a specialty area or if one standard language is needed across all nursing practice. Then, identify examples of standardization in your own specialty or area of expertise. Conduct additional research using the Walden Library that supports your thoughts on standardization of nursing terminology.
Post an explanation of why nurses need to document care using standardized nursing languages and whether this standardization can be limited to specialty areas or if it should be across all nursing practice. Support your response using specific examples from your own specialty or area of expertise and using at least one additional resource.

Parallel Assignment

2) Identify two significant weaknesses of the districts education program.
3) For each of the weaknesses you have identified,describe one strategy to address that weakness; and 
4) explain why each of these strategies is likely to be effective in improving the districts program. 

Crimes in Paris

You need to apply the main theories in the readings cited below (Scott and Foucault) to my chosen city, Paris France and issue, crimes. You don’t need to use every single idea from all of those theoretical readings; decide which ones work the best for explaining what is going on in the case of crimes in Paris. The class is called Power and place in the city, it is a political science class where we talked mainly about political thoughts and the organization and problems occurring in cities.
