Article critique details

General details
    Provide a written critical assessment of a recent (published within the last 5 years) peer reviewed journal article. Articles should be focused on a communicable disease, and relevant to the course material and health promotion.
    Critiques should be typed, submitted in APA format (7th Ed.), and 5-6 pages in length each.

Essentials of a Critical Review
    Begin with a description: Do not summarize the work in its entirety. Rather, try to give the reader of the review an understanding of the author’s intentions.
    A critical review is opinionated, and should include:
– A statement of the reviewer’s understanding of the author’s purpose
– How well the reviewer thinks the author’s purpose was achieved
– Evidence to support the reviewer’s judgment of the work, i.e. other relevant sources

    Read the work with care and allow yourself time to absorb what you have read. Consider the articles originality, its congruency, its use of evidence and logic in its discussion or presentation.
    Note effective passages, your impressions as you read, and the relevance to Health Promotion.

Preparing the Critique
    Provide an introductory paragraph that, like the closing one, sets the tone of the review. Include a thesis statement, the author’s purpose, and the work’s significance.
    The main body of the review should logically develop your central point as organized by your outline. Remember that quoted material is to be handled by APA rules.
    Apply the work to Health Promotion and how it supports/enhances/refutes class material.
    The concluding paragraph may sum up or restate your central point, if necessary, and should make the final judgment about the work. 

Evidence-Based Project: Critical Appraisal of Research

October 7, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 7"), Health Care and Life Sciences

Evidence-Based Project, Part 4: Critical Appraisal of Research

Realtors rely on detailed property appraisalsconducted using appraisal toolsto assign market values to houses and other properties. These values are then presented to buyers and sellers to set prices and initiate offers.
Research appraisal is not that different. The critical appraisal process utilizes formal appraisal tools to assess the results of research to determine value to the context at hand. Evidence-based practitioners often present these findings to make the case for specific courses of action.
In this Assignment, you will use an appraisal tool to conduct a critical appraisal of published research. You will then present the results of your efforts.
To Prepare:
    Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and the four systematic reviews (or other filtered high- level evidence) you selected in Module 3.
    Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and analyzed in Module 3.
    Review and download the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template provided in the Resources.

The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 4A: Critical Appraisal of Research
Conduct a critical appraisal of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected by completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template. Choose a total of four peer- reviewed articles that you selected related to your clinical topic of interest in Module 2 and Module 3 (PLEASE SEE ATTACHED FILE).
Note: You can choose any combination of articles from Modules 2 and 3 for your Critical Appraisal. For example, you may choose two unfiltered research articles from Module 2 and two filtered research articles (systematic reviews) from Module 3 or one article from Module 2 and three articles from Module 3. You can choose any combination of articles from the prior Module Assignments as long as both modules and types of studies are represented.

Part 4B: Critical Appraisal of Research
Based on your appraisal, in a 1-2-page critical appraisal, suggest a best practice that emerges from the research you reviewed. Briefly explain the best practice, justifying your proposal with APA citations of the research.

Research Paper

October 7, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Business and Management

To become an effective manager in the 21st century, the global economy requires a commitment to professional excellence and integrity, achievable through establishing habits of self-reflection, life-long learning, and professional development. The purpose of this assignment is to reflect on where students are currently in their management and leadership capabilities and on what they have learned about effective management in this course, examine their strengths and weaknesses, and determine how they can use the four principles of management and other management theories to create value in a given organization and how they want to develop and improve as they continue their leadership and management capabilities moving forward in their chosen field.

Students will conduct a research project and synthesize findings into a six-page report, excluding cover page and reference page, with five academic or scholarly references to address these two main management objectives:

Self-Leadership and Management
Self-leadership provides an opportunity to achieve your objectives through your own thinking, feelings, and behaviors.
Provide a complete assessment of yourself, identifying your strengths and weakness as a manager.
What strategies will you use to build your management capabilities?
Managing and leading others
An effective leader has followers and inspires them. This relationship is mutually beneficial. Leaders and followers support each other in order to achieve goals, vision, or objectives.
How do you plan to inspire followership through the utilization of leadership and motivation theories?

Case Study Two

October 7, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Law

Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Citations should be formatted according to APA style, 3 references

Read case Study below and answer A-E

Case Study Two: Sam Stevens lives in an apartment building where he has been working on his new invention, a machine that plays the sound of a barking dog to scare off potential intruders. A national chain store that sells safety products wants to sell Sams product exclusively. Although Sam and the chain store never signed a contract, Sam verbally told a store manager several months ago that he would ship 1,000 units.
Sam comes home from work one day and finds two letters in his mailbox. One is an eviction notice from his landlord, Quinn, telling him he has to be out of the apartment in 30 days because his barking device has been bothering the other tenants. It also states that Sam was not allowed to conduct a business from his apartment. Sam is angry because he specifically told Quinn that he was working on a new invention, and Quinn had wished him luck. The second letter is from the chain store, demanding that Sam deliver the promised 1,000 units immediately.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
A. Analyze the elements of this case to determine whether a valid contract exists between Sam and the chain store. Support your response by identifying the elements of a valid contract in your analysis.
B. Assume there is not a valid contract between Sam and the chain store. Analyze the elements of a quasi-contract and a promissory estoppel to determine whether the chain store would prevail on a claim of either. Why or why not? Include support for your analysis.
C. Identify the rights and obligations of both the landlord and tenant under a standard residential lease agreement.
D. Based upon those rights and obligations, does Sams landlord have grounds to evict? Why or why not?
E. Further, what defenses might Sam raise to an eviction action? Support your response.
