The final project will consist of reviewing a fictional film and comparing it to the actual American historical event.
You will be expected to write a 1,000-2,000 word research paper that provides a complete overview of the movie and how it reflects the historical event that it is portraying.
This research paper will seek to answer multiple questions regarding the historical event that is portrayed in the movie. You will be required to do research and find at least four crediblesources to support your claims (no dot coms or Wikipedia please).
At least one of these sources should be a primary source. You are welcome to use the library databases or any other scholarly websites that may provide information on your specific topic. These papers should adhere to Chicago Turabian notes and bibliography style (I will provide handouts for guidance).
Times New Roman, 12pt font should be used and the paper should be double spaced and formatted according to Chicago Turabian style guidelines (this means including a title page and footnotes).
You must first turn in your proposal to me through Canvas and wait for me to approve your movie choice before you may proceed on this assignment. This assignment is worth 30% of your grade for the course. Please review the syllabus so that you are aware of late policies and penalties.
This project will contain the following information:Provide a summary of the movie and the American historical event that it is portraying. Who or what is this movie about?
How does it relate to American history?Is the movie portrayal accurate (this is where your research will come in)? How so, or what is inaccurate? Provide a brief summary of the actual historical event from your research (using at least one primary source).
How does it compare to the movie that you watched?What is the significance of the American historical event that is being portrayed? Why was it important to both history and to the film industry to share this story?Whose perspective is being portrayed by the movie?
Is there a voice being silenced? Is there more than one side being told? If it were told by an opposite side, how would it differ?
Provide your interpretation of the event and how it impacted American history based solely on the research that you conducted. Is this event still relevant today? Why, or why not?

Chronic bacterial sialadenitis in a a patient with Sjogren syndrome
CASE REPORT TEMPLATE
Topic: Chronic bacterial sialadenitis in a a patient with Sjogren syndrome
Case report must have a reference list.
Word limit is 1000 words, excluding references. References must follow the APA referencing style.
TASK
You will be allocated a health condition for a fake patient which has the potential to impact on their oral health. You are required to write an in-depth case report using the template provided below.
The template provides key subheadings, so that the information can be clearly ordered. You will be assigned a case of a fake patient who assumingly presents to you for the first time with an undiagnosed lesion or a new manifestation related to a pathology and/or a medical condition which may impede, impact or interact with the treatment you can provide. The information on the assigned case will be very brief. You need to add on (or make up) the other details to be consistent with the findings in the case.
You are required to write a case report which identifies the fake patient, outlines the reason of attendance, describes the medical, social and dental history, summarises relevant examination findings, states investigations required, provides differential diagnoses, formulates a preventive strategy and a phased treatment plan considering the OHT scope of practice and the needs for referral and comments on prognosis.
The case report should lastly contain a discussion section that describes the merits of the health condition, justifies the appropriate preventive strategies and treatment modalities and describes the impact of the patient’s age/stage of development, educational, socio-economic, cultural background and application of the OHT scope of practice .
Your care plan must consider the patient’s psycho-social determinants of oral health, in particular, relating these determinants to the way you plan your clinical care and plan your home-care preventive strategies and how these should be implemented. In the discussion section you should also demonstrate effective use of recent literature which supports your treatment plan and preventive strategies.
You will be free to change the patient’s demographic details, symptoms or examination findings to suite the health problem / pathology assigned. However, all demographic details, symptoms and examination findings should be coherent and consistent with the health problem / pathology.
Important notes
o Remember: you act as if you are the first clinician to identify the assigned condition and write the case report accordingly (unless it is indicated that the condition was diagnosed).
o No need for unnecessary / irrelevant details. This may produce a lengthy case report that exceeds the word limit. For example, you do not need to present the details of the odontogram if the condition assigned has nothing to do with teeth. For instance, if your assigned condition was a traumatic ulcer at the occlusal plan level caused by a sharp tooth cusp, then you could describe that tooth with some details.
o social history, occupation, socioeconomic status, chief complaint, medical history, dental history, social history, diet, Fluoride exposure, habits, examination findings and investigations. No need to modify irrelevant details / findings. (brief only in table)

Instructions for Paper VI: Study Two Methods, Results, Discussion (Worth 30 Points)
Ryan J. Winter
Florida International University
Purpose of Paper IV: Study Two Methods, Results, and Discussion
1). Psychological Purpose
The psychological purpose behind Paper IV is to make sure you can summarize what you did in your second study, how you did it, and what you found. This is similar to Paper II, but you will include information related to your second independent variable in Paper IV.
For the results section in Paper IV, you will provide information about your participants, materials, and procedure. Your participant section goes first, and it includes descriptive statistics about your sample (means and standard deviations for age and percentages of gender and race/ethnicity). This is a new sample of participants, so you cannot use Paper II for this information. Make it NEW!
Your materials and procedure sections include information about what you did and how you did it. You should once again write this section for an audience who is unfamiliar with your newer study two variables, but you can actually summarize or refer back to study one variables if and when they carry over from study one to study two.
In the end, just remember that you must educate your reader about your materials and procedure, giving enough detail so they could replicate study two on their own. Your Paper IV Methods section will thus look a lot like your Paper II, but in Paper IV you will describe BOTH independent variables as well as important dependent variables (especially any new ones you added).
I suggest reviewing your Paper II feedback to see if you need more clarity in your methods descriptions, but make sure that your reader is clear about the mechanics of your new 2 X 2 factorial design.
You will also write a new Results section.
Since you now have two independent variables and potentially new dependent variables, you will not be able to reuse ANY content from Paper II. Rather, you will write a more complicated results section focusing on a 2 X 2 factorial design here.
Your Discussion section for Paper IV will be a short summary of what you found in that study. Similar to Paper II, you can make some educated guesses about what you found and why you found it, but keep the focus on study two only (in Paper V due at the end of the semester, you will include a more advanced discussion section that looks at both study one and study two, so keep the Paper IV discussion focused only on study two).
2). APA Formatting Purpose
The second purpose of Paper IV is to again teach you proper American Psychological Association (APA) formatting for methods and results. In the instructions below, I tell you how to format your paper using APA style, but this time with a focus on your 2 X 2 factorial ANOVAs. Once again, there are a lot of specific requirements in APA papers (as specific as what to italicize), so pay attention to the instructions below as well as Chapter 14 in your textbook!
3). Writing Purpose
Paper IV is intended to help you figure out how to update a Methods, Results and Discussion section using a 2 X 2 factorial design. This is more complicated than the One Way ANOVA you used in Paper II, but you should still be able to clearly and succinctly tell you readers what you did, how you did it, and what you found. Similar to Paper III, we will give you feedback and help in this paper. You will then be able to revise it for your final paper in the course (Paper V).
Thus doing a good job on Paper IV will mean fewer revisions for the final paper.
Note: The plagiarism limit is higher in this paper (up to 65%) since your classmates are doing the same study two design and will have similar results. Don’t go higher than that, though! 65% is the maximum allowed!
• Finally, go look at the supporting documents for this paper. There is a checklist, a grade rubric, and an example paper. All will give you more information about what we are specifically looking for as well as a visual example of how to put it all together. Good luck!

Your Activity responses should be both grammatically and mechanically correct, and formatted in the same fashion as the Activity itself. If there is a Part A, your response should identify a Part A, etc.
In addition, you must appropriately cite all resources used in your response and document in a bibliography using APA style. (100 points) (A 4-page response is required.)
Part A Identify two (2) companies, each pursuing a fundamentally different strategy: one diversification, the other, cost leadership. The two firms need not be in the same industry, but they need to be public and based in the U.S.
Part B Explain why each firm has opted for its chosen strategy. Specifically, you should highlight the exogenous and endogenous factors that might have contributed to their choice.
For example, is cost leadership the only feasible strategy in the industry in which the firm operates? If so, why? What makes diversification a poor choice? Or, if diversification is feasible and some of the firm’s competitors pursue diversification, what valuable, rare, inimitable resources do those companies hold that would allow them to successfully implement diversification instead of cost leadership?
Part C Given the company’s level of success, should it continue to pursue its current primary strategy or look to change? State whether the fundamental strategies of the companies you have chosen have changed in the recent past. If they have, explain the drivers of the change. (For instance, has there been a change in leadership or in consumer taste?)
Part D Discuss the impact on performance of each company’s chosen strategy. Have these companies been successful relative to their competitors? Why or why not? If so, how? Please be sure to clearly identify the direct link between the company’s strategy and the economic outcome it yielded.

Qualitative Article Critique
Introduction There is a significant increase in the nursing shortage here in America and the number is only getting higher. The qualitative research study that was critiqued for the purpose of this paper discussed the reasons for this issue.
A phenomenological research method was used to investigate the factors that had an impact on the registered nurses’ decisions to leave the practice, therefore causing a larger nursing shortage in the healthcare field. The investigation yielded results that were consistent with the conceptualizations of the researchers.
Phenomenon of Interest The phenomenon of interest is clearly identified throughout the article as the registered nurses’ decisions to either leave the clinical setting or to leave the field of nursing in general.
The underlying problem and reason for the study to be conducted was due to the continuous increase in the shortage of nurses in the clinical field. This shortage is partly because not enough people are going in to the profession in the first place and partly because those that do enter the profession, end up leaving shortly after for whatever reason.
The researcher has identified that this phenomenon of interest requires a qualitative format due to the method that was required in order for them to collect their desired data accurately. ” Because the focus of the research is related to the perceptions of the RNs, and because no definitive research exists about this phenomenon, an interpretive, qualitative study was deemed appropriate” ( MacKusik & Minick, 2010).
The qualitative format was the best format to approach this topic with because of the nature of the desired information.
The philosophical underpinnings of the research was not identified but the reader can infer that the researchers’ philosophy is based on improving the factors identified that cause nurses to leave clinical practice so that the nursing shortage can be reduced and more competent nurses are available on hospital units to provide quality care.
Purpose The researcher has defined the purpose of conducting the research clearly in the beginning of the article. They began by stating statistics regarding the future of nursing and how the shortage of nurses at the bedside is projected to increase in just 10 years.
The researchers went on to describe how the shortage of nurses is attributed things such as job dissatisfaction, difference in salaries to other professions and uncomfortable working environments.
They stated that although research has been done to figure out what possible factors could contribute to the shortage, none of them have been directed towards nurses that have been through it and left the field because of it.
The purpose of the study is ” to identify the factors or reasons that influenced the decision of the registered nurses to leave clinical nursing practice (MacKusik & Minick, 2010).
This study is significant to nursing because investigating the reasons that nurses leave the clinical setting will help nursing leaders and supervisors know what to look out for when bringing new nurses to the unit and how to help them adjust to the job.
It will allow for them to increase their retention rate by preventing the problems described by former nurses from happening again.
