...Critique of Nurse in London Olympics Article NS204 Abstract The critique of a well written article that is about the accomplishments of a registered nurse and humanitarian chosen to carry the Olympic torch in the 2012 summer London Olympics games. Collins from the American Journal of Nursing (AJN) wrote an informative article on a very accomplished nurse, Debra A. Toney, PhD, RN, FAAN. When interviewed by AJN and asked about her accomplishments after being chosen by relay sponsor’s she stated, that most of her time is spent in underserved communities helping promote health with education, support groups, and screening (Collins, 2012). The article had plenty of background information on Ms. Toney, her many accomplishments, and nursing experience before Collins proceeded to go into talking about her selection for the Olympic torch team. It is always exciting to see stories of individuals that are contributing to society but even more when it is someone or something thing that you can relate to. Collins (2012) reported she carried the torch a total of 300 meters on the ninth of July though Kirlington in Oxfordshire. When Ms. Toney was asked about being chosen for this prestigious event she had the following to say, “Being a torchbearer gives me the opportunity to participate in an international event that celebrates the accomplishments of some amazing people,” and “It’s a proud and humbling experience just to be chosen for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” (Collins...

Are the definitions clear, in your opinion? The topic of the journal article is about conditions of Complex Adaptive Systems such as context and emergence influencing the firm product innovativeness. Based on the article, Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) Theory, the agents in the system are all the components of that system and these agents interact and connect with each other in unpredictable and unplanned ways. But from these interactions, regularities emerge and start to form a pattern which feeds back on the system and informs the interactions of the agents. A period of change occurs in all the parts of the system until a new balance is established. The major objective of the article...

...Intro to Allied Health Final Project December 4, 2006 Exploring the Public’s Views On The Healthcare System: A National Survey On The Issues And Options The journal article that I chose was based on a national survey that was conducted in order to show the views that individuals currently have towards the US healthcare system and how they may or may not differ from those of Californians. The study did not assess individual health reform initiatives but rather fundamental attitudes that shape views about the provision and financing of healthcare and insurance. Background-The study was a continuation of a previous study that was conducted by the California HealthCare Foundation and in the previous study, questions were asked concerning cost and efficiency, fairness and equity, and choice and autonomy as means to explore alternatives to expanding healthcare coverage. Confidentiality or Anonymity- Furthermore, there was no mention as to whether there was any written consent nor confidentiality or anonymity provided. The survey was conducted randomly over the phone. Coerced into Acting as Subjects-The principal interviewer conducted the research through a phone interview and it was purely voluntary and random. The interviewer made four attempts to reach a respondent at each phone number. The calls were made at different times as well as on both weekdays and weekends. Research Conduct-The principal interviewers asked each respondent a series of questions that generally...

...Game Journal 6 The school of criticism that made the most sense to me was by far the biographical critique. In my opinion the vast majority of the other critiques read as though the author was simply trying to find examples for that particular type of critique where there was probably very little intentioned meaning behind it. Some of the meaning behind the game that was analyzed seemed as though it was forced. The biographical critique, however, analyzes the author’s intent behind the game using quotes from the author himself. This lends more authority to the critique and prevented it from feeling as though meaningless aspects of the game were being critiqued. In the biographical critique for Katamari Damacy the critic uses the author’s own words to describe how the author intended the game to affect his audience. This is information straight from the source and thus allows for the game to be looked at in a new light. The author intended the game’s peaceful, fun, game that is almost devoid of conflict to brighten the lives of everyone that played it and thus make the world better. The critic in a more thorough analysis could then have described whether the game is successful in doing that, and if so by how much. The biographical critique provided the author’s motivations behind making the game. This is a strong basis on which to critique the game. Analyze the author’s intent behind making the game along with how well the game imparts the author’s message. By doing this...

...Journal Critique – “Why God Became Man” The journal article “Why God Became Man”, provides an in-depth analysis on the incarnate birth of Jesus Christ. Jesus, born of the Father and of the Virgin Birth, Jesus truly was God. In Jesus Christ was the nature of God and because of the Virgin Birth, He truly was of God. God is the one unquestionable Deity, God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit. For those unaware of God, His love and his selfless act of sending His Son to save us, the article contained seven clear distinct truisms about Jesus. The facts brought forth about Jesus: God brought himself to our lowly level through Jesus Christ, born as a servant, made in the likeness of man, he faced the sins of the world as do we, He portrayed the true example of being humble, He remained obedient to God, and he willingly died for us. Jesus was born into a simple human existence, though He remained God incarnate. Strauss brought to light in the article that we, as humans, regardless of our belief in God cannot truly comprehend the love and sacrifice God brought in the giving of Jesus Christ. Only God can understand the love felt for us in the sending of Jesus Christ. Jesus brought us salvation and redemption. Jesus came to reveal himself to us and to rescue all of humankind. We are also equally unable to understand the perfection of God, as found in the Deity. Throughout the article, Strauss used Scripture to back up and illustrate every point made. Strauss...

THEO 510 LUO (Fall 2013) Survey of Theology Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary Jermaine L. Andrews (ID# 26089173) August 31, 2013 Table of Contents Introduction 1 Brief Summary 1 Critical Interaction 2 Conclusion 3 End Notes 4 Bibliography 5 Introduction M. Eugene Boring is Professor Emeritus of New Testament at Brite Divinity School. In this article, his target audience is the Christian community and his goal is to discuss Matthew’s Christology as theocentric, presenting God’s manifested presence in the life of Jesus. Boring goes on to show how Matthew’s Christology is expressed in a narrative of three stories. He says that this can be appreciated and appropriated better in the context of narratives in which contemporary interpreters are embedded.1 He does not subscribe to a particular story, but believes that the ecclesiology, eschatology, and ethics of Jesus are intertwined. They cannot be separated or summarized. For that reason, we are introduced to and come to know Jesus as Emmanuel, God-with-us. Brief Summary Boring begins this article by talking about Jesus and how he was sent by God as the promised Messiah. He mentions how Matthew uses three stories that bridges the gap between interpreters’...

...An Empirical Analysis of Trends in Psychology By Richard W. Robbins, Samuel D. Gosling and Kenneth H. Craik Tanya McKinley (student) AU ID 3049260 PSYC 290 Journal Article Critique 1 I. Research Question or Problem The question is clearly stated. The purpose of Robbins’ et al study was to focus on trends in the prominence of four influential and widely recognized schools within psychology: psychoanalysis, behaviorism, cognitive psychology and neuroscience (Robbins, 1999, pp. 1172). II. Introduction The introduction gives us an overview of three indexes of prominence the authors used to compare and determine which of the four schools are currently prominent and what specific trends can be identified over the past several decades (Robbins, 1999, pp. 118). III. Methods Four articles were chosen as flagship publications. The psychINFO data base was used to measure the proportion of articles relevant to each school that appeared in the flagship publications. Keyword searches were used to retrieve all articles containing a specified word stems to identify articles within a behaviorist school (as cited by Robbins, 1999, pp. 118). IV. Results The results are clearly stated. Data was gathered and graphs were used to plot the percentage of articles associated with the keywords that represent each school (Robbins, 1999, pp. 121-126). V. Discussion/Conclusions The conclusion was discussed (Robbins, 1999, pp. 127-128). Suggestions for practical implications were...

...Critique of a Scholarly Journal Fields, Barry (2012) Getting the balance right: The challenge of balancing praise and correction for early school years children who exhibit oppositional and defiant behaviour. Australasian Journal of Early Childhood, 37(4), 24-29. Topic/Purpose: The purpose of this article was to investigate how schools that have implemented a School Wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS) approach are balancing praise and correction for early school years children who exhibit oppositional defiant behavior (ODB). The author’s hypothesis is that the students that display ODB would have greater opportunities for praise and reward when exhibiting appropriate behavior given the SWPBS environment. Main Ideas/Concerns: With more children in early childcare settings exhibiting oppositional defiant behavior it becomes more challenging to create a nurturing and supportive learning environment. Early intervention is more than likely to yield a positive outcome for many developmental problems. Behavior improvement interventions have been found to be more effective when implemented across multiple settings. For pre-school and early childhood students, the most important settings for those interventions are the home and school (or childcare center). However the number of parents that incorporate any level of intervention in the home setting is unknown. Traditionally schools have focused...
