This assignment calls for you to select two Less Developed Countries (LDCs) and assess if there are any factors that are common to both as far as their development is concerned. The countries that you will be assessing are Egypt and Syria.
It may help you to be familiar with the concept of poor governance, because this often plays a significant part in why a country is underdeveloped. According to the World Bank, governance is defined as how power is exercised in the management of a country’s economic and social resources for development. Therefore, if good governance is synonymous with sound development management, then poor governance means a government has failed to deliver desirable outcomes for its people. This could mean that officials are corrupt, not transparent with their decisions, unqualified to make decisions in the first place, or prone to make decisions based on racism, tribalism or ethnicity all of which are very common practices in LCDs.
The most common factor used to decide whether countries are underdeveloped nations is through the Human Development Index. Countries that are underdeveloped in nature offer poor health care, few educational opportunities, a low average life expectancy, a low number of job opportunities, few recreational facilities, poor economic growth, a low standard of living and a poverty-stricken life.
Instructions:
Write at least a six-page paper, in which you:
Identify the two LDCs (Syria and Egypt), which you will compare and assess. Explain why you chose these two countries.
Analyze the features that the LDCs have in common using at least five of the following nine factors (clearly label the five factors using headings):
geography
extractive institutions
governmental corruption
internal or external conflicts
shaky financial systems
unfair judicial systems
ethnic, racial or tribal disparities
lack or misuse of natural resources
closed (statist) economies
Use at least 8 credible sources. Wikipedia, encyclopedias, dictionaries, blogs and other material that does not qualify as reputable academic source work at the college level. Do not use sources that are older than seven years.
A major financial services company wishes to better understand its mortgage approval process. In particular, the company is interested in learning about the effects of credit history (good versus fair), the size of the mortgage (<$500,000 versus >$500,000), and the region of the United States (western versus eastern) on the amount of time it takes to get a mortgage approved. The database of mortgages approved in the last year is accessed, and a random sample of five approved mortgages is selected for each of the eight combinations of the three variables. The data are shown in the table (attached to these instructions)
1. Use the data shown in the table to conduct a design of experiment (DOE) in Microsoft Excel in order determine the nature and magnitude of the effects of the three variables on mortgage approval times. What are the key drivers of this process?
2. Determine the graphical display tool (e.g., Interaction Effects Chart, Scatter Chart, et cetera) that you would use to present the results of the DOE that you conducted in Question 1. Provide a rationale for your response.
3. Assess the data sampling method. Our sample contained only five mortgages per combination. Under what circumstances would it have been appropriate to select a larger sample? Is a sample of five mortgages adequate to access the relative magnitudes of the effects of the variables? What sample size would you recommend? What could you learn from a larger sample size? (Hint: Look back at chapter 2, 3, 5, and 6 for discussion of sampling.)
4.
Provide other variable responses that might be of interest to measure and study. (Hint: If you were getting a mortgage or a loan, what are the two most important measures of the process you would have to go through?)
5. Propose one overall recommendation to the financial services company, based on the DOE, that could help reduce mortgage approval times.
Create a PPT presentation to communicate the data analysis you completed. Your presentation must follow these formatting requirements:
A presentation with at least 10 slides that include the answers to questions 1 through 5.

Telehealth can improve the health of the population, reduce health care costs, and expand access to health care. Telehealth is being utilized globally in a variety of ways such as phone consultations, live video conferencing, patient-initiated store-and-forward, SMS text messaging (asynchronous private messaging technology), and remote visits. For example, Ghana developed a free program allowing physicians to communicate with each other via a local mobile phone operator (World Health Organization, 2011). In Pakistan, the Aga Khan Foundation provides teleconsultation services to increase collaboration and medical education between the urban areas and community-based health centers (World Health Organization, 2011). Also, according to the International Telecommunications Union and the Global System for Mobile Communications Association, 90% of commercial wireless signals cover the worlds population. Currently, 89% of rural regions in Africa have access to the internet (Kim & Zuckerman, 2019). Therefore, allowing an increasing amount of mobile telemedicine initiatives among counties to use mobile devices for the provider to provider consultations and transmit health-related patient data. Telehealth enables the development of an interconnected global health network able to respond to the humanitarian crisis (Kim & Zuckerman, 2019).
Although huge advancements have been made in developing countries, there are still challenges that telehealth faces for lower- and middle-income countries. Some barriers include transnational regulatory standards, technology biases, limitations on fast telecommunication networks, absence of policy and progressive leadership, and funding for advancing technology (Kim & Zuckerman, 2019). Barriers that telemedicine faces are privacy issues between families or communities that share a mobile phone, SMS texting message word limits, language barriers, illiteracy, and lack of technical support (World Health Organization, 2011, p. 27).
In conclusion, the global telemedicine market is expected to increase from its value of $38.3 billion in 2018 to $130.5 billion by 2025 (Global Market Insights, 2019). This data indicates that government leaders, activists, stakeholders, and health care providers on a global scale are recognizing that telehealth technologies can be used globally to provide appropriate and specialized care to unserved, disaster-stricken, and rural communities.

When discussing the topic of telehealth, there are a myriad of ways in which telehealth can be utilized, not only across the nation but across the globe. As I have relayed in previous discussions, I have had the opportunity to witness the benefits of telehealth in my own personal practice as a registered nurse in the emergency department, such as utilizing a tele-neuro web camera computer to communicate with and assist a distant neurologist with the assessment of a patient exhibiting stroke-like symptoms.
An example of utilizing telehealth on a global scale is interestingly described in an article written by a general pediatrician in Missouri by the name of Dr. Hugh Bigg. Although Dr. Biggs primary practice is in Missouri, he volunteers his free time for Connecting Kids With Care, a volunteer telehealth program that pairs US physicians with preadoptive children on the other side of the world (Bigg, 2018, p. 1). With the use of technology, Dr. Bigg assists potential adoptive families by assessing the medical files of children across the globe and addressing their various medical conditions and health care needs in order to recommend a course of treatment for them (Bigg, 2018). Due to the widespread capabilities of technology, Dr. Bigg is able to assess a childs current health status, diagnosis and prognosis who lives in another country simply by accessing his computer from any location. Without modern technology, this practice would not be feasible.
An inevitable obstacle created by the use of telehealth is that Dr. Bigg is unable to conduct his own in-person assessment of each child, as he is only able to work with the limited information presented to him in each childs medical file. Dr. Bigg (2018) states: Although the information I receive is sometimes incomplete or unclear, I see it as my role to make sense of the data and communicate it in an organized fashion for a family or future primary care provider (p. 2). Consequently, Dr. Bigg must overcome this obstacle by providing the best assessment and recommended course of treatment for these children to the best of his ability.
