No theory and references needed, only case study based on the first 3 tasks of the project, please read to
understand what the paper is about and how to do Task 4,5,6. The project that you need to evaluate is only the IT
implementation that has been worked in task 1,2,3 and here I need you to finish up the paper based on the first
part of the project. All you need is attached, not further readings are needed to complete the coursework. Please
be precise and divide each point properly. Be detailed and strict to the project in question ( only IT
implementation for the office relocation)
Task 4 ?
In this section you must:
3.1 describe and assess alternative project team structures
3.3 design processes for quality management of the project
3.4 design procedures for how project change proposals will be managed
In this section the learner must produce a balanced assessment of different team structures. The two designs
must be realistic, practical and well described and show an understanding of these aspects of project
management
Task 5
This section of the Handbook covers monitoring and control of projects.
4.1 Identify issues and risks that may impede a project
o Produce two tables which identify (4.1 + 4.2)
o the issues and risks that may impede a project
4.2 Design systems for monitoring and appraising the status of a project
o the issues and risks likely to be encountered in the final stages of a project
4.3 Design control systems to detect and manage issues arising in the course of projects
5.1 Identify issues and risks likely to be encountered in the final stages of a project.
The two tables should identify a comprehensive range of issues and risks likely to impede projects generally or
be encountered towards the end of projects. The descriptions and designs need to show that the learner
understands how to monitor and control projects; the issues which arise in projects and how these should be
managed.
Task 6
The final section of the Handbook is an assessment of the tasks needed to be completed in the final stages of a
project.
5.2 Assess the necessary project tasks to be completed in the final stages of a project
The assessment of the project tasks which need to be completed must cover the project process, results and
future actions such as handover

Comprasion of Co2 sequestration of ??urban vegetation?? types for tram ? green road design to find most effective vegetation types to balance GhGs negative impact from mobility systems

Comprasion of Co2 sequestration of ??urban vegetation?? types for tram ? green road design to find most effective vegetation types to balance GhGs negative impact from mobility systems

Comprasion of Co2 sequestration of ??urban vegetation?? types for tram ? green road design to find
most effective vegetation types to balance GhGs negative impact from mobility systems.
FIELD: It is some multidisciplinary topic which is related landscape artitecture, environmental studies and
public transportation..
INFO: As we know vegetation types doesnt produce same amount of O2 and doesnt store same amount of
CO2…all have different properties, so we need compare them and should offer most effective combination for
green road design for tram that we can balance as best GHGs impact due to urban mobility systems.. we should
take most proper urban vegetation types as example and compare their effectiveness for balancing according to
calculated indirect GHGs provided due to electric production which is fuel for tram systems.
NOTE: it will be academic article and will be sent for publication to science journal..

Instructions
NOTE: it will be academic article and will be sent for publication to science journal..
DETAILS:
Key words for abstract : sustainable mobility, urban vegetation, green roads and so on?
There is lots of urban vegetation types combinations can be used for green tram road design.. as on surface of road of the railway and near of roads of railways or as both at the same time, it depends on design of roads that on this article we will offer?. As examples Lolium familia, Buxus familia, Poa&Festuca&Agrostis familias, so on , so on… important is to choose the best combination of vegetation of road as economically(maintance and cost of green road) , socially(from landscape perspective), environmentally(the most O2 production and holding CO2 capacity of plants that we can balance as best GHGs effect by urban public transportation) and and design green tram road according to that…to make this comprasion better, we should choose a city to analyze better which have 4 climate(winter,autumn,spring,summer) and tram mobility is effective on city public transportation, as example I can advice Prague but you may choose which city is most approprite for you and you can modificate title of article according to this
So firstly as introduction we should talk about green tram road examples from world from view of sustainble public transportation, we should analyze this examples from the perspective of sustainability – economically, socially, environmentally, and then why we choose this city..
and then in metodology we should choose the most appropriate vegetation types for gren tram road design ( for example 10 different plants) and will create a table to introduce their features ( as leaf size, height , so on so on), and then a medium size city which has tram mobility , as we said for example Prague or etc, and for 30km tramway road, we calculate how much electricity this tram use for 30km, and for this electricity production how much GHGs released to enviroment…. and then from the most approprite vegetation types that we can use for urban tram road design, we calculate approximately how much O2 they produce and store CO2 along 30km green road design by and we can see and compare which combination of plants are the best to balance GHGs effect reasoned by tram…we should show results in table and comparasion of vegetations in graph… in disccusion part we can explain our road deisgn and results why we choose this plants from the perspective of sustainability – economically(maintance and cost of green road) , socially(from landscape perspective -apperance), environmentally(the most O2 production that we can balance as best GHGs effect by urban public transportation) and then conclusion and references..

BSC and Organizational Culture

BSC and Organizational Culture

Description
Attached is a discussion on the collaboration board which needs a response

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Balanced Scorecard.
There is much to think about in the application of this technique. As we discussed earlier in the module, the use of any management accounting technique must take account of organizational factors such as culture. Issues such as the ranking of metrics, the importance of non-financial criteria and gender factors are all critical in this context.
There is also a significant body of research on the use of technology in this context. This includes the use of signs and symbols (semiotics) to indicate ‘good’ and ‘bad’ performance and the relative perception of integrated and standalone software packages. Again, you may want to think about these issues in the light of your professional experience.

Leadership roles and management functions in nursing: Theory and application by Bessie Marquis and Carol Huston.

Leadership roles and management functions in nursing: Theory and application by Bessie Marquis and Carol Huston.

Chapter 8 in Leadership roles and management functions in nursing: Theory and application by Bessie Marquis and Carol Huston.
here are a few key concepts of the chapter:
Change should not be viewed as a threat but as a challenge and a chance to do something new and innovative.
Change should be implemented only for good reason.
Because change disrupts the homeostasis or balance of the group, resistance should be expected as a natural part of the change process.
The level of resistance to change generally depends on the type of change proposed. Technological changes encounter less resistance than changes that are perceived as social or that are contrary to established customs or norms.
Perhaps the greatest factors contributing to the resistance encountered with change is a lack of trust between the employee and the manager or the employee and the organization.
It is much easier to change a person’s behavior than it is to change an entire group’s behavior. It is also easier to change knowledge levels than attitudes.
Change should be planned and thus implemented gradually, not sporadically or suddenly.
Those who may be affected by a change should be involved in planning for it. Likewise, workers should thoroughly understand the change and its effect on them.
The feeling of control is critical to thriving in a changing environment.
Friends, family, and colleagues should be used as a network of support during change.
The successful change agent has the leadership skills of problem solving and decision making and has good interpersonal skills.
In contrast to planned change, change by drift is unplanned or accidental.
Historically, many of the changes that have occurred in nursing or have affected the profession at the results of change by drift.
People maintain status quo or equilibrium when both driving and restraining forces operating within any field simultaneously occur. For change to happen, this balance of driving forces must be altered.

here is an example
Title of Paper
The opening paragraph of your paper will provide your readers with their initial impressions of your argument, your writing style, and the overall quality of your work. A vague, disorganized, error-filled, off-the-wall, or boring introduction will probably create a negative impression. On the other hand, a concise, engaging, and well-written introduction will start your readers off thinking highly of you, your analytical skills, your writing, and your paper.Your introduction is an important road map for the rest of your paper. Your introduction conveys a lot of information to your readers. You can let them know what your topic is, why it is important, and how you plan to proceed with your discussion. In many academic disciplines, your introduction should contain a summary of your problem statement. Your introduction should also give the reader a sense of the kinds of information you will use to make that argument and the general organization of the paragraphs and pages that will follow. After reading your introduction, your readers should not have any major surprises in store when they read the main body of your paper.
Ideally, your introduction will make your readers want to read your paper. The introduction should capture your readers? interest, making them want to read the rest of your paper. Opening with a compelling story, an interesting question, or a vivid example can get your readers to see why your topic matters and serve as an invitation for them to join you for an engaging intellectual conversation (remember, though, that these strategies may not be suitable for all papers and disciplines). Item must be referenced using graduate level reference citations/references.
The purpose statement is written after completion of the introductory paragraph.A purpose statement is a declarative sentence which summarizes the specific topic and goals of a document. It is typically included in the introduction to give the reader an accurate, concrete understanding what the document will cover and what he/she can gain from reading it. To be effective, a statement of purpose should be:
Specific and precise – not general, broad or obscure
Concise – one or two sentences
Clear – not vague, ambiguous or confusing
Goal-oriented – stated in terms of desired outcomes
Some common introductory phrases for purpose statements include:
“The purpose of this paper/letter/document is to…”
“In this paper, I will describe/explain/review/etc. the…”
“My reason for writing is to…”
“This paper will discuss the…”
“The purpose of this paper is twofold: to ___ and ___”
Title of the Problem
The next section of the paper is the problem.What is a problem statement? A problem statement is a clear description of the issue(s), it includes a vision, issue statement, and method used to solve the problem. The 5 ‘W’s can be used to spark the discussion about the problem. A problem statement expresses the words that will be used to keep the effort focused and it should represent a solveable problem.
How do you write a problem statement?Since a problem statement is a clear concise description of the issue that needs to be address by a problem solving team it must be used to center and focus the team at the beginning, keep the team on track during the effort, and is used to validate that the effort delivered an outcome that solves the problem statement.A problem statement has a specific form. First it is the vision ? what does the world look like if we solve the problem? Then, one or two sentences that describe the problem using specific issues. It is not a lack of solution statement.
To actually write the problem statement, if you follow the format below the problem statement will allow you to be focused on a specific topic rather than broad and spending much time in research and writing.
You will formulate the problem statement using the 5 W’s ? who what, where, when and why!You have used that throughout your life, but not it is time to use the 5W’s to write a concise problem statement.Here are the definitions for the items you will write in your problem statement:
Who ? who does the problem affect?Specific groups, organizations, customers, etc.
What ? what are the boundaries of the problem, e.g. organizational, work flow, geographic, customer, segments, etc?What is the issue? What is the impact of the issue?What impact is the issue causing?What will happen when it is fixed?What could happen if we didn’t solve the problem?
When ? when does the issue occur?When does it need to be fixed?
Where ? where is the issue occurring?Only in certain locations, processes, products, etc.
Why ? What is it important that we fix the problem?What impact does it have on the business or customer?What impact does it have on all stakeholders e.g. employees, suppliers, customers, shareholders, etc.
Each of the answers will help to zero in on the specific issue(s) and frame the problem statement.Your problem statement should be solveable. That is, it should take a reasonable amount of time to formulate try and deploy a potential solution.
Realistic Change
In this section you are going to describe a specific, realistic change that could be made to address the issue.Remember to stay focused on the problem you have identified above.Reference all concrete statements.
Mission, Vision, and Values
Summarize how the change would align with the organization?s mission.You must lay the groundwork which includes the mission statement and references.
Summarize how the change would align with the organization’s vision.You may lay the groundwork which includes the vision statement and references.
Summarize how the change would align with the organization’s values. You must lay the groundwork which includes the values of the organization with references.
Relevant Professional Standards
How will the change align with relevant professional standards?Summarize and include the organizations, regulatory agencies, licensing boards, certifying and credentialing organizations which provide professional standards to the nurses and impact the identified problem.Remember to validate the information with reference citations.
Change Model
Identify a change model or strategy to guide your planning for implementing the change. Provide a rationale for your selection.Remember to review the information in the classroom on the model that is recommended for this paper.Reference the change model.
Steps to Facilitate Change
Outline the steps that you and/or others would follow to facilitate the change. Align these steps to your selected change model or strategy. Remember to reference the change model or strategy and other concrete and pertinent information.
Change Agent(s)
Explain who would be involved in initiating and managing this change. Describe the skills and characteristics that would be necessary to facilitate the change effort.Research what characteristics and skills are needed to be a change agent.Reference all required information.
Summary
Your summary is your chance to have the last word on the subject. The summary allows you to have the final say on the issues you have raised in your paper, to synthesize your thoughts, to demonstrate the importance of your ideas, and to propel your reader to a new view of the subject. It is also your opportunity to make a good final impression and to end on a positive note.Your summary can go beyond the confines of the assignment. This section pushes beyond the boundaries of the prompt and allows you to consider broader issues, make new connections, and elaborate on the significance of your findings. You should make your readers glad they read your paper, and gives your reader something to take away that will help them see things differently or appreciate your topic in personally relevant ways. It can suggest broader implications that will not only interest your reader, but also enrich your reader?s life in some way. It is your gift to the reader.

Assignment 2: Expenses Worksheet in Excel

Assignment 2: Expenses Worksheet in Excel

Before beginning this assignment, you should thoroughly review Excel Worksheets, Charts, Formulas, Functions, and Tables from your course textbook, Go! All in one: Computer concepts and applications.

For this assignment you will use Microsoft Excel to develop a worksheet that details your personal expenses in at least four categories from the last three months. Some of these expense categories might include, but are not limited to, Mortgage, Rent, Utilities, Phone, Food, Entertainment, Tuition, Childcare, Clothing, and Insurance. (These numbers may be fictitious.)

Part 1: The Spreadsheet
Begin by opening a new Microsoft Excel file. (You may use the template found here.)
Save it as LastnameFirstInitial_M3_A2
Use Rows 1 and 2 for a title.
Beginning in row 4, use column A to list your different expenses.
Label the next three columns (B, C, D) for the past three months.
Fill in the appropriate amount for each expense for each month.
Beside the column with your third month?s entries, create another column for totals for each category.
Use a formula to calculate a total for each category of expense.
In the row below your last expense entry, create another row for the monthly totals of expenses.
Use a formula to calculate a total for each month of expenses.
Beside the column add another column for calculating the percent of the budget for each expense category.
Use a formula to calculate the percent that each expense category is of the total expenditures.
Format the worksheet by adjusting column widths and wrapping text, and by applying appropriate financial number formatting and cell styles.
Please Note: While some calculations might be easy to do in your head or using a calculator?merely typing the answer into the appropriate cell?the point of this assignment is to get you accustomed to using formulas. In situations requiring frequently updated data or more complex calculations, Excel is a very powerful tool if you know how to use it. Your grade is based on your demonstrated ability to use the required formulas.

Part 2: The Chart
Below your table of monthly expenses, you will create a chart using the numbers from your spreadsheet similar to the example below.
Open the Insert ribbon at the top of the screen.
Click on a populated cell inside your spreadsheet, then, click on Column on the Insert ribbon. Select the style of column chart you like.
Click and drag your column chart into position below your spreadsheet.
Save your file as LastnameFirstinitial_M3_A2.xls. Submit this document to the M3: Assignment 2 Dropbox by Tuesday, December 20, 2016.
Suggested challenge for intermediate users: Add a row or rows detailing your income and subtract the total expenditures from the total income.
Suggested challenge for advanced users: Use a formula, function, or combination of both to show your net gain or loss (income minus expenses summed over time) for the three-month period.

Measurement and data Collection

Measurement and data Collection

Data collection requires evaluators to consider a wide and diverse variety of data sources. These include both primary and secondary data sources. Data collection can significantly impact your evaluation project. Evaluators sometimes overlook problems where secondary data is involved and overlook the fact that data for comparison purposes can affect validity. The types of data in the Learning Resources are not meant to be exhaustive but are the most common types in program evaluation.
To prepare for this Discussion, choose one of the cases provided, review the specified Learning Resources, and complete the corresponding prompts.
Case 1
Steven Levitt, the author of Freakonomics, is exemplary in his ability to make data tell ?stories.? Students of public administration and organizational behavior are familiar with the famous Hawthorne effect. Levitt and List?s (2009) reanalysis of the original Hawthorne study (which uses incomplete, archived, and secondary data) shows how management programs that were developed to increase worker productivity can be evaluated or reevaluated, even though the experiments were conducted almost a century ago.
Post by Day 3 a description of at least two data collection problems that the reanalysis of Levitt and List might bring to the Hawthorne effect.
Case 2
Barbara Geddes (1990) points out the pitfalls of selecting cases, units, or observations purely on the basis of the dependent variable.
Post by Day 3 a brief explanation of the relevance of Barbara Geddes? argument for program evaluation. Then, explain when a scenario of choosing cases solely on the dependent variable might be permissible. Provide a rationale for your explanations.

The alleged violations below have been grouped because they involve similar or related
hazards that may increase the potential for injury or illness.
Citation 1 Item 1a Type of Violation: Serious
29 CFR 1910.1025(c)(1) Exposure levels to lead fumes during welding operations were
not kept below the established permissible exposure level (PEL).
(a) Location ? Frame Assembly Area
On 04/15/15, a MIG welder in the frame assembly area was exposed to lead
at an airborne time weighted average (TWA) exposure of 100 ?g/m3

TOTAL PROPOSED PENALTIES S206000.00
To avoid additional charges, please remit payment promptly to this Area Office for the total amount of
the uncontested penalties summarized above. Make your check or money order payable to: ?DOLOSHA?.
Please indicate OSHA?s Inspection Number (indicated above) on the remittance.
OSHA does not agree to any restrictions or conditions or endorsements put on any check or money
order for less than the full amount due, and will cash the check or money order as if these restrictions or
conditions do not exist.
If a personal check is issued, it will be converted into an electronic fund transfer (EFT). This means that
our bank will copy your check and use the account information on it to electronically debit your account
for the amount of the check. The debit from your account will then usually occur within 24 hours and
will be shown on your regular account statement. You will not receive your original check back. The
bank will destroy your original check, but will keep a copy of it. If the EFT cannot be completed because
of insufficient funds or closed account, the bank will attempt to make the transfer up to 2 times.
Pursuant to the Debt Collection Act of 1982 (Public Law 97-365) and regulations of the U.S. Department
of Labor (29 CFR Part 20), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is required to assess
interest, delinquent charges, and administrative costs for the collection of delinquent penalty debts for
violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
Interest: Interest charges will be assessed at an annual rate determined by the
Secretary of the Treasury on all penalty debt amounts not paid within one month (30
calendar days) of the date on which the debt amount becomes due and payable
(penalty due date). The current interest rate is one percent (1%). Interest will accrue
from the date on which the penalty amounts (as proposed or adjusted) become a final
order of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (that is, 15 working
days from your receipt of the Citation and Notification of Penalty), unless you file a
notice of contest. Interest charges will be waived if the full amount owed is paid within
30 calendar days of the final order.
Delinquent Charges: A debt is considered delinquent if it has not been paid within one
month (30 calendar days) of the penalty due date or if a satisfactory payment
arrangement has not been made. If the debt remains delinquent for more than 90
calendar days, a delinquent charge of six percent (6%) per annum will be assessed
accruing from the date that the debt became delinquent.
Administrative Costs: Agencies of the Department of Labor are required to assess
additional charges for the recovery of delinquent debts. These additional charges are
administrative costs incurred by the Agency in its attempt to collect an unpaid debt.
Administrative costs will be assessed for demand letters sent in an attempt to collect the
unpaid debt.
