December 22, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Business and Management

For this discussion you will be working within your assigned small group to develop five recommendations that you will propose to Sharon Slade, the chief human resources officer of Netflix.

Your recommendations should include the following critical elements:

Incorporate concepts of integrative bargaining, (i.e., win-win bargaining or interest-based bargaining). Your goal is to create an environment that increases the likelihood of reaching a mutually beneficial outcome for both parties.
Identify ways that Sharon can make a positive first impression, using tacit communication, such as body language, tone of voice, and so on. Explain your reasoning.
Identify examples of effective overt communication that Sharon can use in this negotiation. Explain your reasoning.
Suggest a location for the negotiation session that will create confidence in both Sharon and Alice and a positive basis for the discussion.
Identify situation(s) when should Sharon use tacit communication. In which situation(s) should Sharon use overt communication? Explain your reasoning.
Compare the impact of the overt and tacit communication in these situations and how they will affect the message Sharon is sending.

Chemistry 1

Explain this topic and describe what learning techniques you used to master the material.
You can use the information provided below and further resources.

The topic is Ionic Bonding.
Ions are atoms or molecules bearing an electrical charge. A cation (a positive ion) forms when a neutral atom loses one or more electrons from its valence shell, and an anion (a negative ion) forms when a neutral atom gains one or more electrons in its valence shell.

Compounds composed of ions are called ionic compounds (or salts), and their constituent ions are held together by ionic bonds: electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged cations and anions. The properties of ionic compounds shed some light on the nature of ionic bonds. Ionic solids exhibit a crystalline structure and tend to be rigid and brittle; they also tend to have high melting and boiling points, which suggests that ionic bonds are very strong. Ionic solids are also poor conductors of electricity for the same reasonthe strength of ionic bonds prevents ions from moving freely in the solid state. Most ionic solids, however, dissolve readily in water. Once dissolved or melted, ionic compounds are excellent conductors of electricity and heat because the ions can move about freely.

Neutral atoms and their associated ions have very different physical and chemical properties. Sodium atoms form sodium metal, a soft, silvery-white metal that burns vigorously in air and reacts explosively with water. Chlorine atoms form chlorine gas, Cl2, a yellow-green gas that is extremely corrosive to most metals and very poisonous to animals and plants. The vigorous reaction between the elements sodium and chlorine forms the white, crystalline compound sodium chloride, common table salt, which contains sodium cations and chloride anions (Figure 1). The compound composed of these ions exhibits properties entirely different from the properties of the elements sodium and chlorine. Chlorine is poisonous, but sodium chloride is essential to life; sodium atoms react vigorously with water, but sodium chloride simply dissolves in water.

Develop a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation of your findings and recommendations to present to the board of the health care organization.

examples of technology trends
    Telemedicine
    Optical imagery for diagnosing disease
    Electronic health records
    Telehealth
    Video translation services
    Dictation services (e.g., Dragon NaturallySpeaking)
    Medical equipment
    Health care robots
    Neural engineering
    Intelligent mobile devices
    National health care information network

Discuss the following in your presentation:

Analyze the types of technology trends researched. 
What are the types and uses of technology across the health care industry? 
Which technology trend did you select? Why?
What are the benefits of the selected technology that support quality initiatives?
Analyze the impact of the technology trend selected. 
What impact do they have?
Analyze security risks and privacy safeguards related to health care technology.
What are the privacy risks and security safeguards of the selected technology?
Examine strategies to evaluate system effectiveness.
What strategies will be used to evaluate system effectiveness of the selected technology?
What is managements role in this technology initiative?
Analyze the need for education and training on the use of technology within health care.
What are the educational and training needs for the use of the selected technology? 

Providedetailed speaker notes in your presentation. Your notes must consist of complete sentences and paragraphs and represent the words you would speak if you were giving an in-person presentation.

Cite 3 peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar references to support your assignment.

Explain this topic and describe what learning techniques you used to master the material.
You can use the information provided below and further resources.

The topic is stress and adaption
THE ALARM REACTION
Stress is any situation that upsets the homeostatic balance. Stressors can be physical or emotional events. The first step in the stress response is the alarm reaction, which triggers the fight-or-flight response.

THE STAGE OF RESISTANCE
After glucose stores are used up, the body needs to find and use an alternative fuel source. This is known as the stage of resistance and is characterized by the presence of the hormone cortisol. Over a prolonged period, cortisol suppresses the immune system, resulting in more infections and slower healing.

THE STAGE OF EXHAUSTION
When fat supplies in the body are used up, there are no easy fuel sources for the body and the homeostatic processes of the body become overwhelmed. This is known as the stage of exhaustion.
