[Solved] Years Mainly Among Online

Hello everyone, something that I think would describe me very well would be a barbell. Physical fitness is a routine part of my life that I have come to enjoy more and more over the last three years or so. It is something that is very important to me and it is a hobby turned passion that allows me to forget everything else in my life and truly focus on self-betterment. “Working out”, or “lifting”, at least from my point of view has skyrocketed in the last couple of years mainly among online communities of young men who aspire to be better versions of themselves physically. I thoroughly believe that working out is becoming an integral part of the culture that surrounds a lot of young men in this country and I believe this to be a great thing. I can speak for myself and many friends of mine who share the same hobby when I say that there is a lot of good that comes when you put your head down and work hard physically. It obviously can yield physical results but it has been known to have resounding cognitive results as well, which have really helped me will my own self-image.

[Solved] Communicate Effectively Message Encoding

 

The Interpersonal Communication Skills Assessment indicated some possible areas of relative weaknesses in your skills. For this, select a specific aspect of interpersonal communication that you would like to work on improving. Typical improvement goals include:

  • Listening
  • Reducing communication anxiety/communicating with confidence
  • Using technology to communicate effectively
  • Message encoding
  • Message decoding
  • Channel selection

If you would like to work on another aspect of your interpersonal communication skills not mentioned above, please get your instructor’s approval before proceeding. Your final project for this class involves improving an aspect of your interpersonal communication skills. You will complete some work on this each week during the class. While five weeks is not enough time to develop high-level skills across the entire spectrum of interpersonal communication, it is enough to have a meaningful impact in an area of importance to you.

Brief skill area descriptions as well as reading lists are available for each of the six skill areas previously mentioned in the IPC Skill Area Resources

You will need to find at least three additional sources beyond those in the IPC Skill Area Resources. Sources may include articles, books, videos, interactive trainings, or other materials that have the potential to improve your selected skill area. Because these additional resources will contribute to your progress throughout the rest of the course, you should find them by Week 2. Note that you will not need to identify these resources until your Week 2 journal.

Live Learning sessions are available each week to support you with your IPC Skill Improvement Plan. You can also ask other class-related questions at Live Learning. All students in COM200 are required to attend one Live Learning session during the class but are encouraged to attend more. The day and time of Live Learning sessions will be given in a class announcement. You will confirm your attendance in an element of your Final Assignment.

Please include these

  • Identify your improvement goal. (one or two sentences) 
  • Provide a motivation statement. Why do you want to improve this area of your interpersonal communication skills? (one-half to one page) 
  • Review of literature: Identify gaps in the research and information packet about this skill area to extend your understanding and contribute to your skill improvement during the coming weeks. You can search for the resources you identify in this part during Week 2 and will be reporting on what you find in your Week 2 journal. (one-half to one page) 
  • List personal goals for Weeks 2, 3, and 4 of the class. There will be weekly journal entries (viewable only by you and your instructor) where you share your progress on these. You should also keep a written record of the work you do on your improvement plan, as this will be a required element of the Final Assignment. (at least one page) 
  • Describe how you will measure your progress toward your goal for your final Assignment. Try to be as specific as you can and identify progress you can actually measure or assess. (one half to one page)

Choose three foods that you can find in your kitchen.

  • Cheese string
  • Greek yogurt
  • Banana

Describe how the food tastes, smells and looks.

  • Cheese string is a tube-like snack with a slightly salty taste.
  • Greek yogurt is a slightly sour and tangy taste. It smells slightly sour, and it looks creamy and soft.
  • Banana is usually sweet depending on how ripe it is and it also has a sweet smell. Bananas are green at first and ripen to a yellow color with little black spots.

Using this week’s resource, what is the pH of the food you’ve consumed, and how do they contribute to the acidity or alkalinity of the body? Specifically, discuss an organ or system in the body. You should include outside resources and cite them according to APA.

  • String cheese has a pH balance ranging from 5.0 to 5.9, which is slightly past neutral on the pH scale (Taneya, n.d.).
  • Greek yogurt has a pH balance of 4.0 to 4.6 which is acidic (Raswant, 2023).
  • Ripe banana pH balance is 6.7 to 7.4 which is alkaline. The riper the banana, the more alkaline it is (Kerri, 2022).

Are there specific conditions that might benefit from consuming more acidic foods or alkaline foods?

  • The alkaline diet is claimed to have health benefits such as losing weight, more energy, and minimizing chronic conditions, but these are all unproven according to, Persensky (2022).

[Solved] Organizational Behavior Topics

  1. From the UMGC library, home page (link in Academic Support above) enter your search terms in the OneSearch box and put a checkmark at Scholarly Journals only. Find an article that focuses on organizational behavior topics such as training and development, leadership, decision making, communication, etc., in your chosen field (health care, project management, human resources, etc.). For example, select an article that clarifies the impact decision making has on an organization in your area of study, then consider the best management skills a health care manager (your area of study) will need to be successful today.
  2. In the initial post write a 2-3 paragraph summary of the selected article focusing on the way management is unique for the field.
  3. Include a full-text citation with a link to the UMGC Library for that specific article.
  4. Reply to other learners; compare the skills mentioned in other learner posts and compare them with your own article.  Extend the conversation by working with the class to create a list of common management skills for today and how they would differ from some of the early theorists. Consider this a type of roundtable discussion.  Tell us about what you found in your research and how it relates to your experiences.

[Solved] Please Select One Topic

Each student is expected to post at least twice. For your original post, please select one topic to work on. Reply to at least one class member’s post. Replies should be meaningful. Avoid responses such as “Great job”, “I agree with you”, etc., that do not add content.

  1. Descriptive Statistics: In six sentences or more, explain how you would use the descriptive statistical procedure(s) at work or in your personal life.
  2. Misuse of Statistics: As we will see in the next 12 weeks, statistics when used correctly can be a very powerful tool in managerial decision making.

    Statistical techniques are used extensively by marketing, accounting, quality control, consumers, professional sports people, hospital administrators, educators, politicians, physicians, etc…

    As such a strong tool, statistics is often misused. Everyone has heard the joke (?) about the statistician who drowned in a river with an average depth of 3 feet or the person who boarded a plane with a bomb because “the odds of two bombs on the same plane are lower than one in one millionth”.

    Can you find examples in the popular press of misuse of statistics?

  3. How to Display Data Badly : Read the article “How to Display Data Badly” by Howard Wainer. It is attached here: How to Display Data Badly and also posted under the Content tab (after you choose the Content tab, choose Course Content and Session 1 from the list on the left). For a summary, Wainer Explained.

    Next read, Chart Junk Considered Useful after All, by Robert Kosara, https://eagereyes.org/criticism/chart-junk-considered-useful-after-all

    In your own words, describe “Chart Junk”.

    When should Chart Junk be avoided. When is it useful?

    Include an image or link to an example of the worst data display you have seen at work or in the media (not in Wainer’s article).

    Wainer gives rules for how to make bad charts & graphs. Which of Wainer’s rules describes what’s so bad about your example?

  4. Discussion: Simpson’s Paradox : A family member can go to one of two local hospitals for heart surgery.

    Checking the history for the past year, you find that each of the two hospitals has performed cardiac surgery on 1000 patients. In hospital A 710 patients survived (71%). In hospital B 540 (54%) survived.

    Based on the numbers presented, which hospital do you think is superior in cardiac surgery?

    Surely hospital A is better, right?

    Now, let’s look at more data. The below chart summarizes three categories of patients (those entering in fair, serious and critical condition) and the survival rate from surgery (in percent) for the two local hospitals.

Patient Entering Condition

Hospital A

Hospital B

Survivors from A (# and percent)

Survivors from B (# and percent)

Fair

700

100

600 or 86%

90 or 90%

Serious

200

200

100 or 50%

150 or 75%

Critical

100

700

10 or 10%

300 or 43%

Total

1000

1000

710 or 71%

540 or 54%

Looking at the data broken down in this way, we see that Hospital B has a higher success rate in all three categories of patients but when averaged all together, Hospital A has the higher overall survival rate. Based on the numbers presented, which hospital do you think is superior in cardiac surgery?
