Bus 680 week 6 final paper

Focus of the Final PaperEach person must complete a research paper addressing one of the following topics or a mutually agreed upon topic between the student and instructor:§ Training Needs Analysis§ Training Strategies for Small and Medium Sized Businesses: One Size Doesn’t Fit All§ Management Development Techniques§ Training Evaluation: New Techniques and Strategies§ The Learning Organization: Three Companies That Have Made it a Reality§ Technical Training: A “How To” Guide to Enhancing Technical KSA’s§ Other topic approved by instructorThese papers are to reflect the current “state of the art” in the area and should reflect both academic and professional (practical) orientations. The paper should review the available research, discuss the implications of that research for the topic area, and provide conclusions. The paper should be organized into the following areas:
1. Introduction: The area of research should be described and the purpose of the research. That is, describe the topic area in terms of (1) its relationship to training and (2) what you want to be able to contribute to the training literature by writing this paper.
2. Review of the literature: Organize the literature into logical streams of thought related to your topic area. Within each of these areas summarize what the literature has to say. Be sure to indicate in your discussion whether the information is based on empirical data or just the opinion of the author.
3. Implications of the literature: Again, organize the implications of the literature in a manner that logically builds the case for your conclusions (which you will present in the next section). For each of your implications be sure to reference the literature related to that implication. Be sure to indicate whether the implication is one that has already been made in the literature or if this is one that is original to you. You should identify in this section important areas related to your topic that are missing from the literature.
4. Conclusions: This is where you tie all the pieces together. Make sure your conclusions are organized in a logical order that states what you have concluded relative to the purpose of your paper. Be sure that these conclusions are justified. For example, conclusions based upon empirical fact have more weight than those based upon opinion. Opinions shared by many in the literature have more weight than those of only one author.

JNU IT Cybersecurity Principles Cyberlaw Discussion

DiscussionOn the discussion forum, describe what every person should be able to expect when looking for government statutes, regulations and court cases on the internet from any region of the world. Why is it important to have a uniform method of citing government statutes, regulations and court cases related to cyberlaw issues?  Should not every country be allowed to develop its own method of legal citation?  Minimum 250 words. Reply 1:- Having lot of changes expected with internet can text but have a water management of multiple things which has been associated with existing architecture would be design only when multiple principles have been used in order to control the completely centralization process. Customer care that hand is also quite interested that the designing aspect for future would be associated and responsibility to make sure that the criminals which have been enabled into the communication process would help in disturbing the illegal management of material based on exchange in the copyrights (Ranbir, 2015).It will help in bringing a better anonymity with respect to the person that has its own Association duty waste management along with the service would be managing the traffic flow along with the aspect of computer that has been used.  be completely authenticated that there will be multiple forces which have been used to bring up a change in the overall process but the management which has also been giving the future tour ideas will help in leading 30 tuition. However commerce and industry along with specific space would be associated with as an ideal mechanism to the business to make sure that online commerce would be becoming a completely important aspect the increase in the pressure has been up indicated. This would help the vendors to bring up lot of things based on identification to make sure the signatures which have been already validated will help in reduction of contracts along with the legal authorities.Reply 2:-Having lot of advantages and internet due to this there are the multiple methods which has been associated with the communication process would be maintained by the commerce Insurance of anything is specialised access in much wider things. Properties which has been associated into this Patel distance along with National porter’s is also completely relevant when the creation of the internet business transactions has been conferred with the expression matter of purpose along with the same square horror scenes. A court  would generally does not have any power with respect to the internet Association in United States along with the management of deciding the case with respect to the determination of the percentage restriction that has been associated over multiple parties. The maintenance of State Power would be completely systematic along with the continuity due to which the contact which has been associated with the restriction would be associated by management of contacts with respect to the activities that has been taken place along the expression matters. The common allegations should be generally described with an American institute that has been associated with law restatement by which the construction of loss will be providing a better jurisdiction to the individual who has been causing the overall effect. It also help in providing a better parameter with respect to the constitutional power by which the citizens which has been associated to get the maximum extent would be allowed by bringing up the federal constitution. Another important aspect which has been granted as a separate broadcast will definitely be the quotes in which Arizona would also be dealing with an external person jurisdiction (Ranbir, 2015).

Ceftriaxone uses, advantages and disadvantages.
Yuritza Medina
Florida National University
Ceftriaxone is an antibiotic used to treat many kinds of bacterial infections, including severe or life-threatening forms such as meningitis, Acinetobacter and Enterobacter species, hemophilic influenzae (including beta lactamase producing strains), Klebsiellosis pneumoniae, organelle, Neisseria and Proteus species, and Serratia marcescens. It possesses activity against most strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae, but Staphylococcus epidermidis, methicillin-resistant strains of staphylococcus, and Enterococcus faecalis (Group D streptococci) are typically resistant. Ceftriaxone has poor activity against anaerobes. Ceftriaxone has a long serum life, time that the drug takes for its concentration in the body to reduce by half compared to other antibiotics for bacterial infections. This allows it to be taken after twelve hours in children and twenty four hours in adults. However the use of Ceftriaxone causes leads to serious side effects that include severe skin reactions. The skin reactions include burning of the eyes, swelling of face or tongue, skin pain, blistering and peeling of the skin. It also causes serious allergic reactions such as hives and breathing difficulties on individuals allergic to any of its ingredients. Ceftriaxone is commonly used in the treatment of acute gonorrhea of the lining of the uterine walls. Ceftriaxone is generally recognized to be safe and effective when administered either intravenously or intramuscularly to both adults and children as a single drug for skin and skin structure infections. An advantage of ceftriaxone over the other third-generation cephalosporins is its long serum half-life, which allows it to be given every 12 hours in children and every 24 hours in most adults. There is no question that ceftriaxone is effective for skin and soft tissue infections, particularly those caused by staphylococci and streptococci. The drug’s sales to home infusion companies around the country attest to its widespread use for such infections.
The fact remains, however, that the data required to substantiate efficacy and safety for ceftriaxone or for any of the other third-generation cephalosporins are just not available in large numbers. There are some disadvantages in the use of ceftriaxone for example, the costs involved in the acquisition and administration of ceftriaxone must be weighed against its convenience in the out-patient setting. Single-dose therapy is still significantly more expensive than oral antibiotics in most areas. In addition, concern exists with the potential for the development of bacterial resistance with overuse of this agent in children. Issues such as these must be more fully evaluated before clinicians adopt the wide-spread use of ceftriaxone for relatively self-limiting conditions such as otitis media. Ceftriaxone is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and must be given parenterally. Like other cephalosporins, it is widely distributed throughout the body. It reaches the cerebrospinal fluid in adequate concentrations through inflamed meninges to effectively treat meningitis. Unlike most other cephalosporins, ceftriaxone is highly protein-bound. Controversy remains over the significance of ceftriaxone’s displacement of bilirubin from protein binding sites in neonates. Although several clinical trials have documented the safety of ceftriaxone in the neonatal population, many clinicians continue to avoid its use in this population, particularly in premature neonates or those with hyperbilirubinemia. Ceftriaxone is 60 to 70% eliminated as unchanged drug by renal excretion. The remainder is secreted unchanged in the bile. The long elimination half-life of ceftriaxone, approximately 6 to 9 hours in adults and 5 to 18 hours in infants and children, allows for once or twice daily dosing.

Scarlet street | English homework help

    
Please write a paper of two to four (2-4) pages that is a “character” or “theme” or “structure” argument as it relates directly to what the director Fritz Lang is attempting with the film. That is, write a paper where you make some definitive argument about a character or theme or “structure” for Scarlet Street where your argument ties directly to what the director of the film is presenting or arguing in the film. Use only THE FILM as your primary and only source. You are providing a “close reading” argument about the film. Work cited: 
Lang, Fritz, director. Scarlet Street. Performance by Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, Universal Pictures, Kino International, 1945. 
These are “close reading” essays—students develop their own thesis and use brief quotes, longer sentence quotes, and situations from primary text itself to make the argument. DO NOT USE outside or secondary sources for this assignment. These papers should include a “Work(s) Cited” page. Papers should be two to four pages in length. Be direct and specific. In your discussion, you will need to provide a clear thesis statement. Think of the thesis paragraph as a “road map” to your paper. In other words, provide your thesis, present your conclusion(s) and the means by which you plan to examine and discuss the primary text. See syllabus for general format requirements. 
Use third person formal—NO First Person or Second Person.  Provide a very clear and specific thesis statement. Think of the thesis paragraph as a road map to your paper. In other words, provide thesis (argument), provide your conclusion(s) and the means by which you plan to examine and discuss these conclusions up front. Place most important information first—you should present your thesis/argument in the first sentence of your thesis paragraph. Use brief quotes, sentence quotes, and long quotes from the text itself—no outside sources or articles required. If you are having problems narrowing your thesis, begin from what is your favorite part of the text or your least favorite part of the text, or who is your favorite character, the most striking character or part to you. Then ask yourself what these parts reflect about the character/characters, the given culture, the people, or what might the author be attempting, or what is the author attempting to show, or what/how does what the author shows the reader/audience reflect upon the culture or the characters. See syllabus for general format requirements. This paper requires a “Work(s) Cited” page. All papers for this course are formal. The choice of your thesis is yours. However, you must use specific lines and instances from the work to support your argument or provide evidence/support for your argument. This paper is a “close reading” assignment. Use MLA 8th Edition Style Sheet. 

2-4 Pages in length

Conclusion—restate thesis; tie together  
Work Cited page; use MLA 8th Edition Style Sheet All papers for this course are formal. No use of first or second person in these essays. The small print: In the production of course assignments, we will follow a very conventional, and somewhat restrictive, means of expressing and judging the writing(s) and presentation(s) of others. That is to say, we will follow a basic format and use standardized English (Standardized American English) for the completion of class assignments. Please use a college dictionary, preferably the Oxford, for spelling and basic definitions. We will use the traditional method (thesis, evidence, and conclusion) to present our ideas. We will use our thesis paragraph as a “road map” for papers, and we will provide a conclusion for papers. Our aim will be to convey an abundance of information in a manner that is exact, clear, and concise.

Steps Mentioned in The Negotiation Planning Essay

I want a reply post to the below essay in 200 words using apa format and journal articlesAccording to the steps mentioned in the negotiation planning (Lewicki, Saunders & Barry, 2015).In my opinion, these are as follows:Firstly, The goal of the forthcoming referendum is to eradicate smoking in common spaces used by people, including some conservative places such as restaurants and bars. Secondly, as far as the issues related to achieving the goal would include protests against the referendum and for the poll such as issues like passive smoking as it is a reasonable goal to work with since smoking kills not only the smokers but also the people around the smoke through passive smoking (Carney, Hamrell & Wargo, 2017).Thirdly, sorting, and prioritizing the issues would be considered. Among the problems mentioned in the earlier step, some could be prioritized after the others. As an obvious priority, the issues relative to and supporting the referendum are considered crucial that the issues about the outcry that is expected in the event of a successful referendum.Fourthly, as far as the interests are concerned, this referendum would be in the best interest of the non-smoking people that would benefit from it, which is a majority. Furthermore, this would also come with increased health care costs that are associated with welfare medical programs. As such, the same amount of dollars could be used for a larger population instead of a limited population (Kohler & Minkner, 2014).BATNA: Step 5As an alternative to completely restricting smoking, some relaxations could be offered to convince the other party. Such as allowing to smoke in designated smoking areas that are far away from children and the public.Step 6: Resistance PointResistance Point has a dependency on the earlier point where designated smoking zones are permitted in major public areas as long as they are safely distant from non-smoking open and children.Step 7:Assessing the goals of the opposite party, restaurants, and bars, having smokers welcome to their businesses. It is essential to bring them to the table and offer them BATNA. Thereby set the stage to bring them to an agreement.Step 8:Setting the bids by negotiation, with the opening and goals, recommending the accord for a referendum by revisiting the current issue and its outcomes.Step 9:Gathering all the associated parties that would be essential for the referendum to pass. Bringing both sides of the aisle to a place for negotiation.Step 10:The entire issue is played out ahead of both the parties at a high level, and all the minor details that were mentioned in the earlier steps are discussed including the proposition of BATNA as and when deemed necessary.
