Description

Only Three references should be used as the essay will be based on them :

1- Constitution (Legacy Fleet Trilogy #1) by Nick Webb (Book)

2- Legacy Fleet: Hammerfall by David Adams (Book)

3-Building Imaginary Worlds: The Theory and History of Subcreation By Mark J.P. Wolf (Book)

 

This assignment requires you to think through the structures of Nick Webb’s Legacy Fleet universe, using Webb’s Constitution, the foundational novel in the series, and David Adams’ Hammerfall.

 

Organize your paper around Wolf’s terminology in Chapters 3 and 4. And prepare to comment on the following elements. (You may use existing materials for some of the more complex structures, but document them properly and engage with them analytically.)

 

1. Start with basic structures:

•        Maps (geography/cosmography),

•        Timelines (chronologies/placement/key historical events), and

•        Genealogies (familial, political, and societal)

For each of the basic structures, give us the core elements—the idea isn’t to overwhelm us with detail, though it could be helpful to indicate how complex each structure is, but rather to orient us in the world as economically and clearly as possible. What do we need to know? What do we already know that has been cribbed or borrowed from the primary world? What’s new?

1. Move on to systems:

•        Nature (zoology, biology, governing scientific laws and principles, resources, agriculture),

•        Culture (rites, rituals, styles of dress, social customs, economy, etc.),

•        Language (variety, complexity, unique words, insight into other systems?),

•        Mythology (inherited stories, heroes, gods, mythic places), and

•        Philosophy (religion, philosophy of science, politics, ethics, other governing ideas).

As with the basic structures, the objective is to identify, describe, and comment on what’s new in the universe, anchoring or contrasting it to the primary world, and making connections, where helpful, to “known” secondary worlds (from other fictions/films). The order in which you present these systems doesn’t matter: several of the categories overlap with each other, so sequence your treatment organically and economically.

III. More than story.

Address two questions:

•        What seems to be the “overall” story that unifies the “world” depicted in both novels? (see Wolf ch. 4)

•        Provide a synopsis of one of the two, and discuss its particular contributions to our understanding of the universe (think specifically here about the relationship between structures, systems, and narrative).

Technical requirements

This isn’t a paper in any traditional sense, so feel free to use headings and sub-headings, graphs, images, maps, and other materials that help you present your anatomy of the Legacy Fleet universe clearly and compellingly. Do write in sentences and paragraphs, but don’t worry about having a cohesive argument so much as a coherent representation of the core systems and elements of the universe and how they fit together (see the end of Wolf ch. 3 for clarification about this).

•        That said, strive for a minimum of 1500 words, though you are welcome to exceed that.

•        Document anything and everything you “borrow” or mention, from our novels, Wolf’s book, or any other helpful resources, including images.

•        Use MLA documentation style.

•        Format with 1” margins all around, a reasonable font (TNR 12-pt is standard), and double-space text.

•        Paginate second and subsequent pages, and include your name, the course, and a title as above (not in a running header).

 

Please note that the paper should written in ‘simple’ english.

I need the paper to be focused on the wings of airplanes. The assignment will be checked in Turn it in, so please do not copy from other websites. Provide the write equations for the vibrational response and the analytical solution and find the required plots. The plots that the previous writer provide are not required. Possible required plots: -non-dimensional amplitude for a range of damping coefficients. -The amplitude of the steady-state displacement In the discussion answer this how does material, or forcing frequency, or location of forcing or system components affect the response? I attached an equation sheet just to give you an idea of the equation used in the class.

The model of an airplane wings is a cantilever beam with stiffness k. I gave the writer the formula but he/she did not use it. The paper should not be hard. The equations that are provided in the paper do not fulfill the requirement of the assignment. Basically, I need the analytical solution of vibrational response of airplanes NOT analytical solution for the motion of airplanes. There is a big miss understanding and that makes the results of the paper irrelevant to the project. Let the writer check this website http://mdmv-nitk.vlabs.ac.in/exp1/

 

For the model tell that writer that the model for an airplane is a cantilever beam with a stiffness

k= 3EI/L^3

If the writer has any question regarding the project please let me know

Guidelines for Final Paper

*Due date: April 11th by midnight %u0432%u0402%u201C submission procedures to be announced

 

When you start writing your final paper there are four elements you have to consider:

1. A) Paper Topic

This is a paper in linguistic anthropology. That said, it is first and foremost an anthropological paper. Since anthropology does research through actual participant observation, your paper should reflect this. Your paper should always focus on the linguistic analysis of an actual case study, rather than relying on theory alone. Ideally speaking, your paper should try to explain a linguistic phenomenon that you have personally observed (or that you have observed in newspapers, books, TV, Internet), onto which you can apply some of the linguistic theories that we discussed in class. Luckily enough, there are more linguistic phenomena out there than there are stars in the sky. Do any of you speak a dialect? Do you ever code-switch when talking with your friends and relatives? What is the relationship between language and politics in contemporary Canada? What was observable linguistically during the last American elections? What kind of examples can show the relationship between language and race, gender, power, or social class in contemporary society? These are just a few examples of the kind of questions that can help you find a successful topic for your final essay. The syllabus itself suggests a few tracks:

(1) Study of any aspect of the relation between language structure and society

(2) Study of any aspect of slang and its relation to society

(3) Study of any aspect of metaphor and its relation to cognition or culture

(4) Study of any aspect of conversation or discourse analysis

(5) A cross-cultural comparison of any of the above

(6) Study of any aspect of the relation of language to culture

(7) Study of any aspect of dialect variation

(8) Analysis of any aspect of Internet language or text-messaging

(9) Any other topic

As you can see, all the suggested tracks ask you to study an “aspect” of some broader linguistic topic. In this context, the word “aspect” stands here for “case study”, that is, a concrete example of the broader topic you are going to analyze in your writing.

1. B) Argument

When you write a paper, you have to consider that how you explain things is as important as what you want to explain. Consequently, you have to pay a lot of attention to the argumentative structure through which you express your ideas, which have to fit in coherently and be in sequence with each other. As a matter of fact, most successful academic papers share a similar (and quite “old school”) argumentative technique, which is called “dialectic”, and has been employed by scholars since ancient times. It is still the most common technique people use in all sort of academic writings. I suggest you use this technique too.

A dialectic argument is generally divided into three parts:

1) thesis; 2) antithesis; 3) synthesis.

1) The thesis is the section that opens your paper. Here, you should quickly show the case study you aim at analyzing, together with the main theoretical arguments you are going to use to explain it. In other words, this section features 2 elements: a) what case study you are going to talk about; b) what is your claim on it (or in other words, what theory are you attaching to it). This is the reason why a good “thesis” section usually includes one or more questions on the case study followed by a statement such: “the aim of this paper is to answer these questions”. The thesis therefore should be specific rather than too broad.

2) The anti-thesis is the section of your paper in which you will express how external academic sources contribute to the linguistic anthropological interpretation of the case study you will be analyzing. In other words, what have other people done on this topic? Here you will develop the core of your theoretical analysis, which most commonly will address some of the theories we have been discussing in class over the semester. However, what really counts here is not merely listing a bunch of theories, but explaining how they fit (be it well or badly) with the main argument you expressed in your “thesis” section. In other words, here you need to apply the theories in question to your case study, rather than quoting them only.

3) The synthesis is the last section of your paper. Here you should establish your own argument as a reply to the theoretical arguments by the scholars you quoted in the previous section. In other words%u0432%u0402%u0412¦ you should answer the following questions: 1) how do you reply to the theories you quoted in the previous section? 2) how do you explain the case study you chose through the dialogue established by previous scholars you quoted? Finally, the synthesis is your conclusion, which should answer the questions you posed in your thesis.

 

1. C) Paper length

The paper must be minimum of 8 to a maximum of 12 double-spaced pages (font size 12 Times New Roman). What really counts is the clarity of your writing, rather than its length. As the Greek poet Callimachus used to say: “In long books you can only find long shit”. Consequently, I would suggest you to keep your paper reasonably short and clear, rather than long and complex. You can write papers in a group (no more than 3 people per group); in that case if the overall length of your paper is longer, this will be justifiable. If you decide to write a paper with other people, please add a note in which you specify who took care of writing each specific section or set of pages. The final grade will be an average of your collective performances.

 

1. D) Citations

One of the aims of your final paper is to show your knowledge about linguistic theory discussed in class. You can quote any kind of source in your paper, especially to describe your case study. But at least 2-3 of them must be academic sources in the field of linguistic anthropology, which have been discussed in class. In this sense, you can quote both Prof. Danesi’s book and some of the other sources that he quotes in his book (which are listed in the main text’s bibliography).

In-text quotations in anthropology follow a specific spelling, which is called “Chicago style”. You can find references on how to quote online; here is a guideline:

(Family name of the author: year of publication, page number). Ex: (Giusto, 2017: 10).

Your essays must always be followed by a pertinent bibliography which state all the sources that informed your work.

Description

Introduction:

 

Healthcare organizations accredited by the Joint Commission are required to conduct a root cause analysis (RCA) in response to any sentinel event such as the one described below. Once the cause is identified and a plan of action established, it is useful to conduct a failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to reduce the likelihood that a process would fail. As a member of the healthcare team in the hospital described in this scenario, you have been selected as a member of the team investigating the incident.

 

Scenario:

 

It is 3:30 p.m. on a Thursday and Mr. B, a 67-year-old patient, arrives at the six-room emergency department (ED) of a sixty-bed rural hospital. He has been brought to the hospital by his son and neighbor. At this time, Mr. B is moaning and complaining of severe pain to his (L) leg and hip area. He states he lost his balance and fell after tripping over his dog.

 

Mr. B was admitted to the triage room where his vital signs were B/P 120/80, HR-88 (regular), T-98.6, R-32, and his weight was recorded at 175 pounds. Mr. B. states that he has no known allergies and no previous falls. He states, “My hip area and leg hurt really bad. I have never had anything like this before.” Patient rates pain at ten out of ten on the numerical verbal pain scale. He appears to be in moderate distress. His (L) leg appears shortened with swelling (edema in the calf), ecchymosis, and limited range of motion (ROM). Mr. B’s leg is stabilized and then he is further evaluated and discharged from triage to the emergency department (ED) patient room. He is admitted by Nurse J. The admitting nurse finds that Mr. B has a history of impaired glucose tolerance and prostate cancer. At Mr. B’s last visit with his primary care physician, laboratory data revealed elevated cholesterol and lipids. Mr. B’s current medications are atorvastatin and oxycodone for chronic back pain. After the nurse completes Mr. B’s assessment, Nurse J informs the ED physician of admission findings and the ED physician proceeds to examine Mr. B.

 

Staffing on this day consists of two nurses (one RN and one LPN), one secretary, and one emergency department physician. Respiratory therapy is in-house and available as needed. At the time of Mr. B’s arrival, the ED staff is caring for two other patients. One patient is a 43-year-old female complaining of a throbbing headache. The patient rates current pain at four out of ten on numerical verbal pain scale. The patient states that she has a history of migraines. She received treatment, remains stable, and discharge is pending. The second patient is an eight-year-old boy being evaluated for possible appendicitis. Laboratory results are pending for this patient. Both of these patients were examined, evaluated, and cared for by the ED physician and are awaiting further treatment or orders.

 

After evaluation of Mr. B, Dr. T, the ED physician, writes the order for Nurse J to administer diazepam 5 mg IVP to Mr. B. The medication diazepam is administered IVP at 4:05 p.m. After five minutes, the diazepam appears to have had no effect on Mr. B, and Dr. T instructs Nurse J to administer hydromorphone 2 mg IVP. The medication (hydromorphone) is administered IVP at 4:15 p.m. After five minutes, Dr. T is still not satisfied with the level of sedation Mr. B has achieved and instructs Nurse J to administer another 2 mg of hydromorphone IVP and an additional 5 mg of diazepam IVP. The physician’s goal is for the patient to achieve skeletal muscle relaxation from the diazepam, which will aid in the manual manipulation, relocation, and alignment of Mr. B’s hip. The hydromorphone IVP was administered to achieve pain control and sedation. After reviewing the patient’s medical history, Dr. T notes that the patient’s weight and current regular use of oxycodone appear to be making it more difficult to sedate Mr. B.

 

Finally at 4:25, the patient appears to be sedated and the successful reduction of his (L) hip takes place. The patient appears to have tolerated the procedure and remains sedated. He is not currently on any supplemental oxygen. The procedure concludes at 4:30 p.m. and Mr. B is resting without indications of discomfort and distress. At this time, the ED receives an emergency dispatch call alerting the emergency department that the emergency rescue unit paramedics are en route with a 75-year-old patient in acute respiratory distress. Nurse J places Mr. B on an automatic blood pressure machine programmed to monitor his B/P every five minutes and a pulse oximeter. At this time Nurse J leaves his room. The nurse allows Mr. B’s son to sit with him as he is being monitored via the blood pressure monitor. At 4:35, Mr. B’s B/P is 110/62 and his O2 sat is 92%. He remains without supplemental oxygen and his ECG and respirations are not monitored.

 

Nurse J and the LPN on duty have received the emergency transport patient. They are also in the process of discharging the other two patients. Meanwhile, the ED lobby has become congested with new incoming patients. At this time, Mr. B’s O2 saturation alarm is heard and shows “low O2 saturation” (currently showing a sat of 85%). The LPN enters Mr. B’s room briefly and resets the alarm and repeats the B/P reading.

 

Nurse J is now fully engaged with the emergency care of the respiratory distress patient, which includes assessments, evaluation, and the ordering respiratory treatments, CXR, labs, etc.

 

At 4:43, Mr. B’s son comes out of the room and informs the nurse that the “monitor is alarming.” When Nurse J enters the room, the blood pressure machine shows Mr. B’s B/P reading is 58/30 and the O2 sat is 79%. The patient is not breathing and no palpable pulse can be detected.

 

A STAT CODE is called and the son is escorted to the waiting room. The code team arrives and begins resuscitative efforts. When connected to the cardiac monitor, Mr. B is found to be in ventricular fibrillation. CPR begins immediately by the RN, and Mr. B is intubated. He is defibrillated and reversal agents, IV fluids, and vasopressors are administered. After 30 minutes of interventions, the ECG returns to a normal sinus rhythm with a pulse and a B/P of 110/70. The patient is not breathing on his own and is fully dependent on the ventilator. The patient’s pupils are fixed and dilated. He has no spontaneous movements and does not respond to noxious stimuli. Air transport is called and, upon the family’s wishes, the patient is transferred to a tertiary facility for advanced care.

 

Seven days later, the receiving hospital informed the rural hospital that EEG’s had determined brain death in Mr. B. The family had requested life-support be removed, and Mr. B subsequently died.

 

Additional information: The hospital where Mr. B. was originally seen and treated had a moderate sedation/analgesia (“conscious sedation”) policy that requires that the patient remains on continuous B/P, ECG, and pulse oximeter throughout the procedure and until the patient meets specific discharge criteria (i.e., fully awake, VSS, no N/V, and able to void). All practitioners who perform moderate sedation must first successfully complete the hospital’s moderate sedation training module. The training module includes drug selection as well as acceptable dose ranges. Additional (backup) staff was available on the day of the incident. Nurse J had completed the moderate sedation module. Nurse J had current ACLS certification and was an experienced critical care nurse. Nurse J’s prior annual clinical evaluations by the manager demonstrated that the nurse was “meeting requirements.” Nurse J did not have a history of negligent patient care. Sufficient equipment was available and in working order in the ED on this day.

 

Task:

1. Complete a root cause analysis (RCA) that takes into consideration causative factors, errors, and/or hazards that led to the sentinel event (this patient’s outcome).

 

1. Discuss a process improvement plan that would decrease the likelihood of a reoccurrence of the outcome of the scenario.
2. Discuss a change theory that could be used to implement the process improvement plan developed in B.

 

1. Use a failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to project the likelihood that the process improvement plan you suggest would not fail.
2. Identify the members of the interdisciplinary team who will be included in the FMEA.
3. Discuss steps for preparing for the FMEA.
4. Apply the three steps of the FMEA (severity, occurrence, and detection) to the process improvement plan created in part B.
5. Explain how you would test the interventions from the process improvement plan from part B to improve care in a similar situation.

 

Note:You are not expected to carry out the full FMEA, but you should explain each step, and how you would apply it to your process improvement plan.

 

1. Discuss how the professional nurse may function as a leader in promoting quality care and influencing quality improvement activities.

 

1. When you use sources to support ideas and elements in a paper or project, provide acknowledgement of source information for any content that is quoted, paraphrased or summarized. Acknowledgement of source information includes in-text citation noting specifically where in the submission the source is used and a corresponding reference, which includes:

• Author
• Date
• Title
• Location of information (e.g., publisher, journal, or website URL)
