...The Philadelphia Foot Patrol Experiment Identify the purpose of the research study, problem, and questions. * The purpose of this research was to determine if police foot patrols can improve community perception of the police and reduce fear of crime and prevent actual crime Describe the design of the study. * In Philadelphia, their resources consisted of 60 patrol locations; researchers identified the highest violent crime corners in the city, using data from 2006 to 2008. Police commanders designed 120 foot patrol areas around these corners, and stratified randomization was used to assign pairs of foot patrols with similar crime rates as either a comparison or a target area. * Officers generally patrolled in pairs with two pairs assigned to each foot patrol. They worked from Tuesday morning to Saturday night in two shifts (10am to 6pm, 6pm to 2am). Identify an operational definition used by the researchers. * An operational definition used by researchers is describing a foot patrol as a police officer working on foot throughout their beat or assigned area rather than utilizing a vehicle. Provide one example of inductive logic and one example of deductive logic presented in the results. * An example of inductive reasoning is foot patrol beats returned to their pre-experiment crime levels once the foot patrol experiment was concluded. Foot patrol is more likely to conduct pedestrian stops and deal with disorder and drug offenses while car patrol handled...

...If I Had to Explain, You Wouldn’t Understand This is a picture of a recent weekend trip north of Traverse City, MI. my Fiancé and I, spent an entire day just riding. We rode up to a lighthouse, through Sleeping Bear Dunes, and all over some of America’s beautiful roads. Why I chose this photograph is because it reminded me of our recent reading by Allan Johnson, In The forest and the Trees, and Barry Glassner, The Culture of Fear. Johnson talked about symbols and value. “But most of what we value is what we learn to value through socialization in a particular system’s culture”(49). What he meant by this was that we value things we are taught to. Whether we are intentionally taught, even know we are learning values, or just absorbing them as we struggle through life. we are acquiring values. A person’s culture plays a huge significant role as to those values learned. I imagine there are quite a few cultures that would not understand the mentality of a biker. The meditation one gets from serene riding alone; no radio, no conversation, just open roads and thought. This is a culture that was learned as Johnson spoke of. The value one possesses was most likely a conscience choice of preference to things they were exposed to. Many cultures stereotype and fear the culture of a motorcyclist. Most motorcyclists that are not casual riders, but bikers, are not the criminals that America portrays them as. They may be obsessive about their machines, similar to a hot rod guy about his...

...Infections are caused by an invasion of unwanted organisms that attack ones body. With that being said, pneumonia is an acute infection of the lung parenchyma (Anatomical Chart Company, 2010, p. 100). Pneumonia, like any other infection, has a pathophysiology that describes how the infection affects the body. It also has different causes, several signs and symptoms, a variety of different treatments, and even a long list of possible complications. Pneumonia is always handled with delicate attention, but for individuals who have normal, healthy lungs and a strong immune system the final outcome is almost always a good one. Serious attention needs to be focused on those who are at a greater risk such as the elderly, children, and the immunocomprimised (Anatomical Chart Company, 2010, p. 100). According to the Atlas of Pathophysiology, there are three different basic types of pneumonia: bacterial, viral, and aspiration. The primary cause of pneumonia is an inhalation or aspiration of a pathogen. The secondary cause is related to an existing infection or disease. Each of these are caused by different irritants that result in the same disruption of normal perfusion. The attacks on the lung lead to alveolar inflammation and edema that causes low ventilation and blood and fluid to be pushed into the capillaries. This leads to a stasis in the lung’s gas perfusion and creates a pressure that makes it harder for the individual to breath (Anatomical Chart Company, 2010, p. 100). The...

INDIGENOUS PHASE (Circa 500 B.C. to A.D. 16th cent.) 1) It is characterized by the use of materials like bricks, stone, rubble, and sand 2) Its most characteristic feature is the truncated pyramid. 3) Earliest settlement were roofed dugouts, pallisaded huts, wigwams, or garrisoned forts surrounding thatched half-timbered cottages. 2. COLONIAL PHASE (1607- 1780) -begins with the colonization of the North American continent.

...ETHICS NOTES-Outline: 1: Summary of writing intent leading to thesis 2: Define ethics 3: Discuss the importance of ethics in the business environment 4: Connecting Law and Ethics/The role of ethics in law 5: Elaborate on the ethics side of each case. 6: Summary The question of whether an employee can be terminated for off-duty activity can be answered in numerous ways. Some occupations require employee carry a firm moral code even when they are not present at workplaces such as priests, CEOs, and other public or civil servants while other occupations are more lax or do not even require anything more of their employees rather than to show up on time and perform at expected performance levels. The varying levels of standards, in regards to moral code, with the multitude of industries pose the question of what the underlining basis of these rules are. Because as an employer or manager contemplates the reasoning behind the termination of an employee, there must be a general rule of thumb to abide by in order to make the decision. The rules that the employer or manager relies on are called ethics. When an employee is considered for termination, an ethical approach from the employer’s side as well as the employee’s side must be apparent and clear. In order to better understand the role ethics play in employee relations, we must have a thorough understanding of what ethics is and it’s importance in the business environment. Furthermore, in the context of employee termination...

...Nursing leadership and management Leadership refers to setting a new direction or a way forward for a group of people, so that can they follow. Management on the other hand is controlling or directing people or resources in a group regarding the values that have already been established. Leadership and being an outstanding leader depends on ones qualities and behaviors that they exhibit in different circumstances or situations (Hader, 2008). Leadership has to go hand in hand with management because; without management, the direction that is set does not reflect on how the new direction is going to be achieved. Others will have to work hard in the shadows that have been left behind by the others. Effective nurse leaders are those who involve others to work together in pursuit of a common goal (Sullivan & Decker, 2005). For this reason, I choose to shadow with my manager for couple of hours to see how a tipical day goes for him. In this essay, I will discuss how my manager manages our unit, his communication style and it effectiveness, his type of leadership style or styles and it effectiveness, and what my thoughts and reactions are about this experience. Our unit is a mixed unit consisting of respiratory and geriatric patients. We also care for stroke patients on the unit. In managing the unit, our manager uses more democratic, or participative leadership style though he also exhibits transactional and transformational styles. According to him...

...government land in the state of Alabama. President Monroe easily sanctioned the act. That land was sold for around $300,000. The proceeds were used to construct school buildings at the Asylum and start an endowment from which income could be drawn for the school.“ To the Exceptional Needs community, Clerc and Gallaudet are very well known together as the Galluedet University was born and highly speaks of Clerc as another founder. Clerc taught everybody hearing or deaf sign language and in turn, others have taken his studies along with their own antic sign language to teach others and learn. Clerc went on to teach for 50 years but in 1858, Clerc retried at the age of 73. The first school to follow their teachings was in New York, second was Philidelphia, followed by Union states of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee, Virginia, and Quebec in Canada. In all, more than thirty residential schools were established all over the nation during Clerc's lifetime. A major impact from Clerc and Sign Language is, “Consequently, about two-thirds of today's ASL signs have French origins. Examples of words that mean the same and have the same signs in American and French are: wine = vin; hundred = cent; look for = chercher. (Center).” To bring on the legacy of Clerc after his passing on July 18, 1869 the Gallaudet University has 2 funds in his name, “The Gallaudet University Alumni Association gives the Laurent Clerc Cultural Fund Alice Cogswell Award to people for valuable service on behalf...

...Kayla Robles Doctor Dawn Dennis History 202A-02 4 May 2016 Freed Black and White Women in Liberia In 1822 the American Colonization Society(ACS), emigrated freed black slaves to Liberia located in West Africa, however, during this time the indigenous had already been living there (Brown, Education in Liberia, 46). Unfortunately, there is not much information on women in the colonization. “Scholars have written surprisingly little on the role of women in the movement. The few historians who have studied women in the colonization movement have examined the rise and decline of female support in the South” (Younger, Philadelphia Ladies Liberia School Association and the Rise and Decline of Northern Female Colonization Support, 237). To fully understand the social aspect of how women were affected in Liberia I will examine the Mississippi women’s colonial experience in Liberia as well as education during the American Colonization particularly in Philadelphia including influential female colonists, the history of the Philadelphia Ladies’ Liberia School Association, and the reasons colonization flourished and failed in Philadelphia. According to Thomas Jefferson in 1787 he believed “Blacks would never achieve full equality in the United States,” Black women in the South were seen as these controlling images or stereotypes that it is natural for women to experience racism, sexism, and poverty. White people saw them as sexually immoral, hypersexual, hyper fertile, or too masculine...

Please see the “Nursing Theorists’ Grading Criteria” document, located on the Materials page of the student Web site. Name: Steve Early Theorist Selected: Sr. Callista Roy Description of Theory: Sister Callista Roy believed that “Humans are bio-psycho-social beings existing within an environment. Needs are created within interrelated adaptive modes: physiological, self-concept, role function, and interdependence” (Taylor 74). Sr. Roy believed that the patient’s modes of adaption were partly innate and partly acquired behaviors; if the behaviors are appropriately applied there is an increase in health restoration. According to "Nursing Theory" (2011), The nursing theory was named “The Adaptation Model,” and includes a “six step nursing process: 1) The first level of assessment, which addresses the patient's behavior, 2)The second level of assessment, which addresses the patient's stimuli, 3)Diagnosis of the patient, 4)Setting goals for the patient's health, 5)Intervention to take actions in order to meet those goals, and 6)Evaluation of the result to determine if goals were met.” Theory’s Historical background: Sister Callista Roy is considered a living legend as she has been awarded various acknowledgements for her contributions to nursing. Sr. Roy developed the Adaptation Model in 1976, and for the past 36 years, she has been researching...
