Reflective Journal on Ethics Game Simulation Maria R. Brook HCS/478 Health Law and Ethics January 23rd, 2012 Caroline Etland, PhD, RN Reflective Journal on Ethics Game Simulation In this journal I will write my reflections on two ethical dilemmas presented in Ethics Game's online simulation, which has been designed to teach students how to make ethical decisions through a practical and repeatable decision model. Ethical Issue #1 Presented During my Shift Near the beginning of my shift

#1 Days-to-repair Terri was able to gather data from the college which allowed them to develop a table for the probability distribution of the wait for repair services on JET’s copier. To model the probability of wait times in the JET Copies simulation, the JET partners generated a random number representing the probability of an occurrence of a breakdown. They then programmed a VLOOKUP function to match this breakdown probability to the corresponding “Repair Time in Days” column of the table

Simulation 2 Write-Up During the simulation there were many different factors leading to varying results. One of the biggest causes for variation was in the performance of the worker. The worker had the impression that they were under a time constraint. The performance of the worker was usually kept constant until the last 5 or 10 drawings of cards, which is when the worker felt the pressure to draw cards faster. Another cause of variation was the shuffling of the worker. If the worker didn’t

TOPICS IN AD HOC AND SENSOR NETWORKS Simulations in Wireless Sensor and Ad Hoc Networks: Matching and Advancing Models, Metrics, and Solutions Ivan Stojmenovic, University of Birmingham and University of Ottawa ABSTRACT The objective of this article is to give advice for carrying out a proper and effective simulation activity for protocol design. It challenges some of the existing criticisms of simulation practices that emphasized validation aspects. This article advocates the use of simple

Interpretation of Modeling and Simulation Can there be a better fit for a company out there that uses Microsoft Excel to conduct modeling to simulate their business growth other than Microsoft itself? Microsoft has made billions of dollars selling their Microsoft Office Suites and their home computer operating systems around the world. They have become one of the largest and well known companies in the world. The way that I see it, is that Microsoft’s business model, in a nutshell, is

Monte Carlo Simulation Tutorial This tutorial shows how to use Microsoft Excel to develop Monte Carlo simulations without the use of add-ins or special software (such as @RISK or Crystal Ball). (Note, however, that there are some important advantages of using these dedicated software packages.) After completing the tutorial you should have a sufficient understanding of Monte Carlo concepts and Excel capabilities to begin building your own Monte Carlo simulations applied to a wide range of business

The Hoylake Rescue Squad receives an emergency call every 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 hours, according to the following probability distribution: Time Between emergency Probabilities Calls (hours) 1 ……………………………………..0.05 2 ……………………………………..0.10 3 ……………………………………..0.30 4 ……………………………………..0.30 5 ……………………………………..0.20 6 ……………………………………..0.05 1.00 The squad is on duty 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. a. Simulate the emergency calls for three days (note that this will

Crisis Management Simulations Preparing for the unexpected is what most businesses and governments strive to do. They hope to curb the next disaster in their favor. Or in worst-case scenario, businesses and governments hope to at least curb the crisis to be the least damaging to their image. The question people struggle with is how can these organizations prepare for every possible crisis they could encounter? It is simple: they cannot. However, with today’s technology many organizations have implemented

seems to be moved more by the change in ARM than in it does by the change in GRIP. | | SIMS (simulations) is the dependent variable in this experiment. A simulation is defined as a way to model random events, such that simulated outcomes closely match real-world outcomes. By observing simulated outcomes, researchers gain insight on the real world (Simulation of Random Events, 2014). The simulations in this case required that the participant exert force on a simulated wrench while assuming standing

Simulation is a technique for practice and learning that can be used in many nursing facilities to help trainees to learn different skills in training and communication. It is a technique to replace and amplify real experiences with guided ones that can help the trainee to develop essential skills while at work. Simulation-based learning can be the way to develop health professionals’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes, while protecting patients from high risks situations. Simulation-based medical
