· Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.
· Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest you identified in Module 2 for the Assignment. This PICOT question will remain the same for the entire course.
· Use the key words from the PICO(T) question you developed and search at least four different databases in the Walden Library. Identify at least four relevant systematic reviews or other filtered high-level evidence, which includes meta-analyses, critically-appraised topics (evidence syntheses), critically-appraised individual articles (article synopses). The evidence will not necessarily address all the elements of your PICO(T) question, so select the most important concepts to search and find the best evidence available.
· Reflect on the process of creating a PICO(T) question and searching for peer-reviewed research.
The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)
Part 2: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews
Create a 6- to 7-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:
· Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest.
· Describe how you developed a PICO(T) question focused on your chosen clinical issue of interest.
· Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected.
· Provide APA citations of the four relevant peer-reviewed articles at the systematic-reviews level related to your research question. If there are no systematic review level articles or meta-analysis on your topic, then use the highest level of evidence peer reviewed article.
· Describe the levels of evidence in each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, including an explanation of the strengths of using systematic reviews for clinical research. Be specific and provide examples.
By the end of the semester, you will produce a systematic review about a biological research topic of your choice. Though the final draft is not due until the last week, you will be working on this project incrementally throughout the semester.
What is a systematic review?
A systematic review is a rigorous evaluation of the existing scientific literature that addresses a clear research question. An extensive search of the primary literature is performed in order to locate and assess research evidence relevant to the research question using a pre-specified protocol. This makes systematic reviews more comprehensive than a literature review.
What are the steps to produce a systematic review?
Through a combination of instructor-led lessons and assignment submissions, students will work through the following steps in order to complete the systematic review process (adapted from Pullin, A., & Gavin B. Stewart. (2006). Guidelines for Systematic Review in Conservation and Environmental Management. Conservation Biology,20(6), 1647-1656.):
Stage 1: Planning the review
TOPIC: Utilization of CRISPR CAS9 in cancer genes
1.) Question formulation
· During the early weeks of the semester, you will choose a paper topic and begin to explore the scientific literature relevant to your topic. From there, a reviewable research question can be articulated.
· A reviewable question is commonly some version of “Does intervention x produce outcome y on subject z?”
· Example A: Does regular coffee consumption decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease in humans?
· Example B: Does mercury pollution impact survivorship of freshwater fish populations?
2.) Developing a review protocol
· A review protocol is a document developed beforehand that will guide the review process. It should include enough detail to the methodology that someone else could repeat the same review process; the repeatability of search methods is a key characteristic of systematic reviews.
· The protocol starts by outlining the rationale and objectives of the review.
· From there, it should detail the methods that will be used including
· Eligibility criteria – how will you decide which studies to include or exclude?
· Search strategy – which databases will you use to search for studies? How will you go about your search?
· Data management – how will your data be organized as it’s collected? Which variables will you be tracking?
· Data synthesis – how will your collected data be synthesized qualitatively? How will it be synthesized quantitatively?

Paper A: Application of a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue.
This assignment is an opportunity to explore and apply a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue. A framework provides a methodical and systematic approach for decision making. Module 2 – Methods of Ethical Analysis (see LEO Content – Readings for week 2) describes three structured frameworks that may be used for ethical analysis, namely Reynolds Seven-Step Approach, Kidder’s Nine Steps, and Spinello’s Seven-Step Process. There are several ways described in UMGC Module 2 to systematically approach an ethical dilemma, and while each of the frameworks described has its merits, each will result in an ethical decision if straightforwardly, objectively, and honestly applied.
In addition, consider the ethical theories described in – Introduction to Theoretical Ethical Frameworks (see LEO Content – Readings for week 1) which help decision makers find the right balance concerning the acceptability of and justification for their actions. A separate write-up of the ethical theory that supports your decision is part of the following requirements.
For this paper, the following five elements must be addressed:
Describe a current IT-related ethical issue: Since this is a paper exercise, not a real-time situation, you may want to construct a brief scenario where this issue comes into play, and thus causes an ethical dilemma. The dilemma may affect you, your family, your job, or your company; or it may be a matter of public policy or law that affects the general populace. See the list below for a list of suggested issues, which may be a source of ethical dilemmas.
Define a concise problem statement that is extracted from the above description or scenario. It is best if you define a specific problem caused by the dilemma, that needs a specific ethical decision to be made, that will solve the dilemma. Be aware that if it is a matter of public policy or law, that it may require a regulatory body or congressional approval to take action to implement a solution.
Analyze your problem using one of the structured decision-making frameworks chosen from Module 2. Make sure that you identify the decision-making framework utilized. In addition, the steps in the decision-making framework selected must be used as major headings in the Analysis section.
Consider and state the impact of the decision that you made on an individual, an organization, stakeholders, customers suppliers, and the environment, as applicable!
State and discuss the applicable ethical theoryfrom Module 1 that supports your decision.
Concerning your paper:
Prepare a minimum 3- 5 page, double-spaced paper and submit it to the LEO Assignments Module as an attached Microsoft Word file.
Use headings for each topic criteria
Provide appropriate American Psychological Association (APA) source citations for all sources you use. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your paper should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style.
Include a Cover Page with your Name, the UMGC/Name of the Class, and the Title of the Paper.
For example, Kidder’s approach has nine steps, which are:
Recognize that there is a moral issue.
Determine the actor (whose moral issue is it?).
Gather the relevant facts.
Test for right-versus-wrong issues.
Test for right-versus-right paradigms (what sort of dilemma is this?).
Apply the resolution principles (ends-based, rule-based, or care-based).
Investigate the “trilemma” options (look for common ground or compromise).
Make the decision.
Revisit and reflect on the decision. (Kidder, 1995, p. 183-187)
Reminder:Each of the steps for whatever framework that you selectmust be a major headingin the Analysis section of your paper.
Here are some suggested issues for you to consider, the additional text is designed to help you flesh out the issue:
Privacy on the Web: What is happening now in terms of privacy on the Web? Think about recent abuses and improvements. Describe and evaluate Web site policies, technical and privacy policy protections, and current proposals for government regulations.
Personal Data Privacy Regulations in Other Countries: Report on personal data privacy regulations, Web site privacy policies, and governmental/law enforcement about access to personal data in one or more countries; e.g., the European Union. This is especially relevant as our global economic community expands and we are more dependent on non-US clients for e-business over the Internet.
Computer-Based Crimes: Discuss the most prevalent types of computer crimes, such as Phishing. Analyze why and how these can occur. Describe protective measures that might assist in preventing or mitigating these types of crimes.
Government Surveillance of the Internet: The 9/11 attacks on the US in 2001 brought many new laws and permits more government surveillance of the Internet. Is this a good idea?
The Digital Divide: Does it exist; what does it look like; and, what are the ethical considerations and impact?
Privacy in the Workplace –Monitoring Employee Web and E-Mail Use: What are current opinions concerning the monitoring of employee computer use. What policies are employers using? Should this practice of monitoring, be authorized or not?
Medical Privacy: Who owns your medical history? What is the state of current legislation to protect your health information? Is it sufficient? There are new incentives with federal stimulus financing for health care organizations to develop and implement digital health records.
Software Piracy: How many of you have ever made an unauthorized copy of software, downloaded software or music (free or for a fee), or used copyrighted information without giving proper credit or asking permission? Was this illegal or just wrong? How is this being addressed?
9.Consumer Profiling: With every purchase you make, every Web site you visit, your preferences are being profiled. What is your opinion regarding the legal authority of these organizations to collect and aggregate this data?
Biometrics & Ethics: Your fingerprint, retinal-vessel image, and DNA map can exist entirely as a digital image in a computer, on a network, or in the infosphere. What new and old ethical problems must we address?
Social Networking: What are some of the ethical issues surrounding using new social networks? How are these now considered for business use? What are business social communities? Are new/different protections and security needed for these networks?
Gambling in Cyberspace: Is it legal? Are there national regulations and/or licensing? What are the oversight and enforcement requirements? Are there international implications? What are the social and public health issues?
Pornography in Cyberspace: For example, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling protecting as free speech computer-generated child pornography
Medicine and Psychiatry in Cyberspace: Some considerations include: privacy issues; security; third-party record-keeping; electronic medical records; access to information, even by the patient (patient rights); access to information by outsiders without patient knowledge; authority to transfer and/or share information. Are there any policies proposed by professional organizations?
Counterterrorism and Information Systems: Your protection versus your rights
Open-source Software versus Closed-source Software: Ethical ramifications and impact on intellectual property law
Creative Commons Licenses: How do they work and what are the legal and ethical impacts and concerns?
Universal ID card: What is the general position of the U.S. government about issuing each individual a unique ID card? Which individual U.S. government agencies have already provided a unique ID card? What steps have been taken to include individual ID information electronically in passports? How is privacy and security provided?
Video Games: Does playing video games distract from everyday responsibilities? Do video games correlate with real world violence? Why do game creators continually increase the violence of video games? What is video game addiction?
Cyberbullying: What is cyberbullying and what can be done to stop it?
Net Neutrality: What is the current position of the federal government and is it fair to all?

You are focusing your attention on observation, “one of the most widely used methods of assessment” (Morrison, 2009). Observation is defined as “the intentional, systematic act of looking at the behavior of a child in a particular setting, program, or situation” (pg. 69). It might surprise you to know the number of new teachers who feel that observation is “simple” because it just involves watching. This could not be further from the truth behind what observation is. In fact, if you reread the definition provided above, you will notice the word “systematic” is used. Morrison (2009) states, “the significance and importance of critical behaviors may go undetected if observation is done casually and is limited to unsystematic looking” (pg. 69). Teachers must have a plan for how to conduct observation on any given day, but also overall in their classrooms (you will actually be tackling this very thing this week). Subsequently, another mistake in thought process is that observation is only used to determine if a child is grasping a particular skill. While this is definitely one of the functions of observation, as Wortham (2012) states, it can (and should) also be used to assess a child’s behavior and for “the teacher to get to know the child as a unique individual, rather than as a member of a group” (p. 116). As teachers and caregivers, if you strive to find concrete information out about your students to use in planning, reporting, or conferencing with families, observation is a crucial part of this! As your text shows there is a definite process to observing your students, as well as many varied types of observation. That is where your work starts for this assignment.
Next, review the resources for Anecdotal Records, the Rating Scale, and the Checklist (ANNA SMITH) provided for you within the classroom. You will use the instructions below to guide your creation of your curriculum plan based on the assessment data in the resources. Remember, this plan is to be in the form of a two- to three-page Word document that includes the following:
Introduction: Write a brief introduction that informs the reader of the topic of the assignment and its organization. Remember, an effective essay introduction tells the reader what you will discuss in your paper.
Assessment Observations: Describe the observations that you made from the data using several examples from the assessments (one to two paragraphs).
Child Observations: Describe the strengths and areas of opportunity (i.e., weaknesses) for the child based on the assessment data (three to four paragraphs).
Short-Term Goal: Explain three specific instructional decisions for a short-term goal for the child based on the data analysis (three to four paragraphs).
Long-Term Goal: Explain one specific long-term goal for the child based on the data analysis (one to two paragraphs).
Conclusion: Write a short conclusion that informs the reader of the main points from the assignment. Remember, an effective essay conclusion summarizes what you have discussed in your paper.
Writing Tips:
Use APA formatting consistently throughout the assignment, which includes citations in the body of the assignment, the title page, and references list.
Remember to reference three scholarly sources in addition to Jaruszewicz text (so four total).
Remember your paper is to be two to three pages, not including the title and references pages.
Early Childhood Observation: Assessment, Goals and Instruction Strategy
This paper is based on observation of statistical data of a kindergarten pupil, Anna Smith, offered for case study. It assesses the data to determine the child’s strengths and weaknesses with a view to determining opportunities for the child’s development. Further it lays out a long-term goal and a short-term goal for the development. Specific instructional decisions for achieving the short-term goal are also identified.
Assessment and Child Observations
Anna Smith’s overall development is as expected of children of her age (Jaruszewicz, 2012). She excels in certain areas notably social and emotional skills while there are weaknesses in such areas as language and motor skills development.
Anna’s physical development includes average gross motor skills that include standing on one foot for a few seconds, climbing and swinging. Anna has also developed good hand and finger skills where she can perform most tasks expected of the pupils, except drawing a human with a body. Further, her social and emotional development is positive and suitable; with the pupil enjoying being with friends, social activities, independence, sharing, helping and being directed. She needs more direction in terms of agreeing to rules as evident in ignoring clean-up until directed.
However, her speech and language skills need more development so that the pupil can recall part of a story, tell longer stories and use future tense. Cognitive development is average with the pupil being good at counting and identifying some colors but needing to be aware of time and everyday items as well as to differentiate resembling colors notably red and pink.
Instructionaldecisions for short-term goal
Short-term goals should lead to the achievement of the long-term goal in the school year. The goals will have conditions, defined behavior and performance criteria (Boehm and Weinberg, 2017). For Anna Smith, it is important they target specific motor, language and cognition skills.One short-term goal for Anna would be that given a classroom situation, Anna will tell a long storyeach week with 80% accuracy.
An instructional decision for the above short-term goal is to model demonstrations of short stories using gestures and motions(Conroy, Sutherland, Vo and Ogston, 2014). Similarly Anna will demonstrate her story telling. It will also involve modeling cooperation by directing using nonverbal and verbal cues.
Another instructional decision is to add challenge and to give cues to elongate Anna’s stories(Conroy, et. al, 2014)… This can be through prompts using “w” questions during the story telling e.g. “How many birds flew away? 1, 2,…” “How did they fly away?” “Where did they fly away? On top of the…”
There is also the instructional decision to provide Anna relevant information during play and social activities (Kraft, Marchand-Martella and Martella, 2003). ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
systematic act of looking at the behavior of a child
Topic 1: SHRM Content Area (Organizational Development: Action Research) Action Research One systematic approach used in Organizational Development is the HRD Process Model (ADDIE Model) as it is a systematic approach intended to improve the effectiveness of an organization. The Assessment phase of the HRD Process Model (ADDIE) is particularly relevant as it used to identify gaps in organizational effectiveness between an organization’s current and desired state. This discussion will review another systematic approach used in Organizational Development, Action Research. Action Research can be understood as a process, model, theory, or set of techniques. Most often, Action Research is framed as action taken by an external consultant, which is why Figure 18-1 utilizes Organizational Development consultant language. However, Action Research can also be used by internal HRD professionals, the steps are the same. You will find the Action Research Model useful both in Organizational Development, and in other areas of your professional and personal life. Action Research is built on feedback. A problem is identified, data collected, a diagnosis given, a plan developed, action taken…followed by assessment/data…which is used to continue the process. That feedback data is immediately used to identify the problem and the process resumes. Figure 18.1 in Organizational Behavior in Health Care, Chapter 18 (Borkowsi) identifies the eight steps in Action Research. Table 18.1 displays these eight steps (Burke, 1982) simplified into four steps as developed by Cummings and Worley (1997). How would you apply the 8 steps of Action Research to the organization you are using for the course project? What value might Action Research add to your course project? How might your organization respond to Action Research and why? Topic 2: SHRM Content Area (Organizational Development: Appreciative Inquiry) As reviewed in the previous discussion topic, the HRD professional needs skills in both Change Management and Organizational Development (OD). Change Management focuses on the human component of organizational change, and Organizational Development focuses on planned processes of change using a systematic approach to increase organizational effectiveness. One such planned process using a systematic approach is Action Research; another is Appreciative Inquiry. While Action Research focuses on what is going wrong in an organization, the Appreciative Inquiry systematic approach centers on what the organization is doing right. Appreciative Inquiry is often expressed as having five components. Both the Organizational Development Fundamentals Figure 2.4 (Rothwell, et al., 2015, page 7) and the Organizational Behavior in Health Care (Borkwoski, 2017, page 10) address Appreciative Inquiry. Rothwell uses the 5 D Appreciative Model and Borkwoski uses the 4 D Model. The center of Appreciative Inquiry is the way diagnostic questions are asked. What is different about the questions used in Appreciative Inquiry? Would you use the 4D or 5D Model for the organization you are using for your course project and why? Would the Action Research Model or the Appreciative Inquiry Model have more value for the organization you are using for your course project? Why?
According to Johnson (2008), the eight steps of action research serve as guideline when conducting action research project. Therefore, it is very imperative for the action research to adapt to a particular research topic or problem. In other words, the eight steps should not be seen as cast in stone, it should be flexible. The 8-step action research are identifying and limiting the topic, gathering information, reviewing the related literature, developing a research plan, implementing the plan and collecting data, analyzing the data, developing an action plan, and reflecting on the process. The application of action research in the organization follows a systematic process, with the first step being identifying a specific problem. In this case, the organization is a learning institution, and the action research project is to improve performance of the students(Morrissey, 2013). This can be achieved through the use of examination and trial of the alternative instructional approach. The second step involves gathering information, where the views and instructional approach of tutors is obtained. It is…………………………………………………………………………………………………
