Identify a Research Gap

For this worksheet task, you will identify a gap in social psychology research and begin to develop a basic research question to address the identified gap.

First, review the literature from the five articles in your chosen track (three that were provided for you and two that you chose on your own). Using the Research Gap Worksheet as a guide, identify a gap in the research from your articles. Based on that research gap, develop a question to address the gap.

Note: The Research Gap Worksheet is filled out to provide an example for you to follow. Use this sheet as a template by deleting the highlighted portion and replacing it with your own content.

I’ve attached the Literature Review Draft for your information along with the articles.

August 8th, 2020 APA (edition "APA 6"), Business and Management Comments Off on analysis of the Lafarge-Aget Heracles case

analysis of the Lafarge-Aget Heracles case

Use Exhibits H and I, estimate and evaluate ratios for liquidity, financial strength, profitability, and ROI (include DuPont analysis)
For 2008, Aget is contemplating adding two new dry-process kilns for an investment of 10.7 million .  That investment is expected to increase current capacity by 18%.
Assuming the most current operational cost levels, what sales must it generate to recoup the above investment?
If we assume 2004 prices of 45.91 /mt, what does the new break-even level do to the utilization rate, given its new capacity level? What can you say about its effect upon Agets pricing?
It is expected that the dry-process technology will help achieve an increase of 22% in production cost efficiencies, compared to current level. How might such an increase affect price competitiveness?
Assuming that Agets sales by 2008 will have grown at the forecasted global market rate increase of 22.6% over those of 2004, what will be its production and utilization rate?
If Aget does capture 20% market share in the markets of Lebanon, Kuwait and UAE, as estimated, at what sales units and revenues, will it break-even?  What is the B/E market share?
In case Aget reduced price by 10%:
What effect would such price reduction have on gross margin?
By how much must sales increase to avoid a loss in gross profit?
What can you say about the potential implications of such price reductions, upon the industry and the market?
Based on your analysis, is Agets contemplated expansion into Lebanon, Kuwait, and UAE advisable or inadvisable?  Argue your position.

A newer area in healthy people 2020 includes the social determinants of health. This area focuses on a multidimensional aspect of health care that continuously assesses and mobilizes people to improve overall population health. Social determinants include access to resources, safety, support, culture, literacy, socioeconomic status, violence, and many others. Physical determinants include housing, surrounding neighborhood, and potential pollutants in the area. Overall this area of Healthy People 2020 focuses on the whole person and the importance of understanding each individual patients situation is unique. Culture plays a large aspect to the social determinants of health as each persons culture is influenced by their social determinants of health. As a future advanced practice nurse this is an essential area that will be critical in my care for patients. Understanding each patients unique determinants will allow me to adapt the care for the patient to accommodate and adapt to the accessibility of resources they have. The importance of understanding what each person has available to them and the culture that affects their decision making could change the plan of care for the patient as a provider (Social, 2020).
Patients that have less accessibility to parks, gyms, or neighborhood sidewalks can change how I would approach exercise discussions with patients. Dietary education would need to be adapted as well in regards to availability of healthy food options, along with culture considerations of foods cooked in the home. As a provider we cannot determine what our patients will do with the education we provide them however we are obliged to consider all dynamics in our patients lives and give them the resources to help them and provide high quality patient centered care.

Nutrition and weight status are listed as topics of interest on the document Healthy People 2020 (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion [ODPHP], 2020).  There is much scientific data supporting the intake of good nutrition and the maintenance of a healthy weight, and in addition to learning about food and drink choices that increase health, we must examine cultural considerations that include physical and social determinants surrounding an individuals nutrition and weight status.     
            Physical determinants of food choices are related to availability of foods and an individuals ability to purchase what they need in order to maintain a healthy body and mind.  Retail markets that sell healthy food may be less accessible in rural communities and for those with a lower-income bracket (ODPHP, 2020).  Options around that scenario include personal or community gardening, getting fresh eggs from a community member who raises chicks, and buying fresh produce from roadside stands or from a local farmers market.
            In addition to physical determinants of food choices, there are social factors that influence choices of foods and degree of healthiness of the foods.  These include:  attitudes about certain foods, stigma surrounding that ones food choices that may cause judgment from others, price of foods, knowledge and skills about what is healthy and how to prepare a meal, and cultural norms that exist in the individuals home, social circle and community.  If an individual is participating in a food assistance program, that will also determine their food choices as they get foods that are covered by the program.
            Healthy eating, healthy lifestyle, regular physical activity and balancing intake with calories burned, are vital keys to maintaining a healthy weight status.  The American Academy of Pediatrics (American Academy of Pediatrics [AAP], 2018) supports healthy family-based lifestyle modifications to help facilitate optimal nutrition and weight status.  These include preparing meals at home as a family, parents/caregivers modeling healthy choices and behavior, providing accessibility of healthy foods and drinks, participating in physical activity on a regular basis, and avoiding too much time spent on sedentary activities.
            APRNs play a role in affecting culturally-based patient care by using evidence-based practices in the following ways:  reinforcing healthy eating within the patients food preferences and belief system, physical activity that supports a healthy life withing the patients cultural preferences, discouraging skipping meals and diet pills, reinforcing the value of having meals as a family where possible, reinforcing positive discussions related to body weight, and monitoring weight loss (AAP, 2018).  APRNs address cultural and spiritual considerations when they provide focused attention to their patient preferences and ask what they can do to support their patients healthy nutrition and weight status.

August 8th, 2020 APA (edition "APA 6"), Business and Management Comments Off on Issues of Sex and Gender

Issues of Sex and Gender

Identify an issue that is facing our society today that is in some way related to sex and/or gender and has opposing sides. Consider a law that was recently put into or taken out of effect or is being debated. You could also look to the statements or actions of a public figure or organization that has generated significant attention from the media. The issue you select should have ample material from which you may pull to gain insight into the details surrounding it. Feel free to email your instructor if you would like to verify that an issue is appropriate or if you would like some suggestions as to what you could cover.

Explore multiple sides of the issue you have selected until you have a good understanding as to why each side believes it is right. Research the historical events that have caused the circumstances of this issue. Engage in discussions with others who have strong feelings about the issue to learn the reasons why they feel they way they do.

Make sure you research both sides thoroughly as your goal with this paper will be to write it in a manner that does not allow the reader to know which side of the issue that you are on. You will not be condoning or condemning either side- your goal is to be as objective as possible in reviewing the issue you select.

Construct a 1,000-1,250 word essay that demonstrates your understanding of the following:

The issue that you have identified (a concise synopsis of what the issue is)
Historical context (previous events in history that have contributed to the rise of the issue)
Both sides of the current argument (provide an objective review- the reader should not know which side of the issue that you personally are on)
At least two possible resolutions to the issue (include the potential ramifications of each resolution for both sides)

You are a BA for 24 Fitness, a gym with 56 locations in the US. For the past ten years, sales have been increasing and the industry has been booming. At the start of the COVID-19 crisis, health professionals started advising people to not go to gyms and to workout in their homes or outside if they can safely social distance. The COO felt that the gym has to launch some type of digital product to survive. She has a brainstorm with whole team and a lot of ideas are shared:

Zoom Personal Training
Sell Equipment
Develop a workout app
Virtual Reality Gym
Online competitions
All these are great, but the company must respond with a solution now. You have been asked to recommend a solution. To help you organize your thoughts, you use the Business Model Canvas (Also in the BABOK).
