...Critique of Research Article Name Instructor Unit Date Medical articles can be well analyzed based on the content, the reputation of the authors among other useful information. However, it is paramount that evidence based practice (EBP) be adopted when analyzing an article. According to Sackett et al (1996, pg 71-72) “Evidence based medicine is the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients”. The best available and current research is utilized in making a judgment about the article in question (Drisko and Grady2012). The research article, Healthcare Providers’ Intentions to Engage in an Interprofessional Approach to Shared Decision-Making in Home Care Programs: A Mixed Methods Study by Legare et al., presents views of the healthcare providers in the implementation of the interprofessional approach to shared decision-making (IP-SDM). In addition, it evaluates their intention for engaging in the program. The IP-SDM program has been gaining popularity in Canada but it is yet to be incorporated into the healthcare system (Reeves et al., 2008) Interprofessional approach entails the engagement of different professionals within the healthcare system, where all contribute towards the achievement of a common method of patient care. In addition, the aspect of shared decision-making entails the development of a system that involves the patients in determining the type of treatment that is given...

...HUMA215-1201B-14 Unit 1 IP AIU Online/ February 2012 Lucretia Randle Abstract The author gives a visual presentation of Greek and Roman cultures as they evolved using timelines for both. She discusses similarities and differences in each as pertaining to government, geography, economics, arts and philosophy. In conclusion she summarizes how these ancient cultures helped shape the modern world. These two timelines show the evolution of both empires, Greek and Roman. As you can See the Romans only surfaced toward the end of the Greek culture was beginning its decline. Greece was the beginning of civilization in that it showed a shift from a nomadic lifestyle to an agrarian and more sedentary lifestyle (Course materials, 2012). The timelines contain information found on the following websites http://courses.wcupa.edu/jones/his101/TIMELINE/T-ROMAN.HTM and http://www.ancient-greece.org/resources/timeline.html (2012). Linear writing which was begun in Greece from about the 18th century BCE and used until about the 15th century BCE is a still undeciphered writing system closely related to the ideographic writings known as hieroglyphs (thefreedictionary.com, 2012). Polytheism was the religious belief and was closely entwined with their everyday life and was highly structured (course material, 2012). This culture was defensive in nature when it came to its architecture with the building of protective and extensive walls and it was founded on a feudal system of political structure...

...Internationalization and firm performance 1. Introduction The topics of internationalization and firm performance are introduced. Over the last decades the interest on the relationship and connection between internationalization and performance has grown rapidly. The aim of this paper is to focus on the strength and weaknesses of internationalization as a business strategy by stressing the positive and negative factors that influence the whole process. Moreover, internationalization well be discussed with regard on performance levels. Does firms expansion abroad has a direct positive or negative impact on performance? And, if yes, in what extend does performance, profit, market share as well as the position toward competition change? The first part of the paper deals with some of the important reasons such as resource, marker, efficiency, as well as strategic asset seeking, which directly influence companies to be multinationals. We live in the area of globalization, where “going global” and becoming international is a very common strategy used by firms in order to expand and spread their potentials abroad. Nevertheless, before some decades this topic was not as common as today and authors starting to study it by concentrating not only in the economical side, but as well as by dealing with cultural diversities, political barriers, local versus foreign customers, competition etc. The second part of the paper is focused in more details in the IP relationship. It is understandable from...

...CRJS430 – 1104A – 01 Unit 1 IP Charlotte Cordova October 6, 2011 American Intercontinental University Abstract In this paper, I will discuss the four types of research theories – deductive, inductive, grounded, and axiomatic. I will also discuss why and how these theories are used, and which is the most relevant, or most important. I will discuss the differences and similarities in theory and hypothesis. I will also discuss variables, and why they are important components of theoretical research. Four Types of Research Theories When doing research, it is important to first have your idea, or subject you will be researching. Once you have chosen the subject, then the research begins. There are so many places to go to use as sources. There are books, articles in magazines or newspapers, interviewing sources, and the ever growing internet. Personal experiences are another great way of getting information for your research. There are many ways to obtain information for your subject, but deciding on the subject to research is the first step. Then you need to decide how narrow or wide-ranged your topic is going to be. One example is Crime Scene Forensics. Will the paper be done on the entire subject of forensics, or will it be narrowed down to one element of forensics, such as DNA testing, or maybe ballistics? This is a decision that you will make before you start researching the subject. A very intelligent instructor, said to choose something that interests...

...HEALTH RESEARCH AGENDA SETTING IN REGION 2 Center for Health Development for Cagayan Valley (CHD-CV) Department of Science and Technology (DOST) National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) FOREWORD The current thrust of the Department Of Health conceptualized by no less than the Hon. Secretary Himself, Dr. Francisco T. Duque, III, coined as FOURmulaONE aims to “undertake critical reforms with SPEED, PRECISION and EFFECTIVE COORDINATION directed at improving the efficiency, effectiveness and equity of the Philippine Health System in a manner that is felt and appreciated by the Filipinos, especially the poor”. Now, more than ever, the health of the Filipino people should not be the sole responsibility of DOH through CHD-CV (as initial chair of the Regional R&D Coordinating Council of the consortium) rather the unified efforts of allied agencies/institutions, NGOs and most importantly, the individual himself. Unfortunately, many areas in the country, Region 02 included, have little or no access to information that affect the environment and people’s health. As a consequence, people live their lives without the benefit of some precautions that they may observe in order to safeguard their well-being. It is in this light that through the stewardship of PCHRD, through its Executive Director Jaime C. Montoya and DOST Regional office through Dir. Rustico B. Santos, DOHCHD-CV through Dir. Purita S. Danga and her Asst. Dir.,Dr. Tita N. Callueng; NEDA. Dir Milagros Rimando;...

...Unit 1 IP Introduction to Humanities HUMA215-1101B-08 Topics in Cultural Studies Terry Meeks American Intercontinental University Instructor: J. Anderson March 27, 2011 Abstract Many ancient cultures existed throughout time but none as popular as ancient Greece and ancient Rome. Although Rome eventually became powerful and ruled over Greece, much of Roman art, architecture, and religion were adopted from the cultures they conquered and were adapted to meet the needs of the Roman Empire. Much of the Roman society mocked that of ancient Greece. | ANCIENT GREEK CULTURE | ANCIENT ROMAN CULTURE | GEOGRAPHY AND GOVERNMENT | Athens was the center of the Greek world in the fifth and fourth centuries BCE. Athens was the capital of Greece and its name was taken from the Greek goddess Athena. Athens was symbolic of art, freedom, and democracy (the prevailing government of ancient Greece introduced around 500 BCE by an aristocrat). Athens was just one of over 800 city states that made up ancient Greece. Several city states (comparable to a modern county) were isolated from each other and the mainland as they were located on islands that made up the fractured geography of ancient Greece. These islands were located in the Aegean Sea and reached around the Mediterranean to peninsula of Italy and to the shores of Asia Minor. Each city state considered itself a cultural center. City states of ancient Greece were very independent however they remained loyal to Greece...
