Write a discussion questions below: A quadratic programming model is an optimization model with n decision variables and m linear constraints, and of the form:
where x is the n by 1 column vector of decision variables and xT is its transpose, Q is an n by n symmetric matrix of objective parameters, C is an n by 1 vector of additional objective parameters, A is an m by n matrix of constraints parameters, and b is a m by 1 vector of constraints right hand side.
In your two replies to classmates describe instances, scenarios and conditions under which their quadratic programming model example may not have (i) a feasible solution; (ii) a unique solution.
1) When we analyze the unemployment rate, which three categories of unemployment can we use for a more detailed picture of unemployment? How do these three differ? (3) 2) What is a ‘recession’? (1) 3) Define the term GDP and explain your definition (i.e., what are the components of your definition and what do they mean?). (4) 4) Name two different kinds of transactions in an economy that are not considered part of GDP. Why are these transactions excluded from measuring GDP? (3) 5) What is the difference between GDP and GNP? (1) 6) If we want to assess changes in economic activity, why do we use changes in real GDP for finding an answer, instead of changes in nominal GDP? (2) 7) Assume the following values: Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) b = 0.75; Autonomous Consumption a = 300; Investment Spending I = 600. There is no government spending at this point. a) For a consumption function C = a + bY, what is the equilibrium value for income Y here? (1) b) What is the value of Y if Investment Spending increases to 750? (0.5) c) If you add the government sector, with expenditure G = 250, what is the new equilibrium income? (For I = 750) (0.5) 8) What happens when the Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) is reduced? How does equilibrium output change? (2) 9) What constitutes a ‘business cycle’? (Through which phases does an economy pass in the course of one cycle?) (2) 10) Compare the three multipliers that we have looked at for fiscal policy. (Which are those? How do they differ?) (3) 11) Money creation in modern banking systems: a) Describe the process of the creation of money in the banking system in general terms. (2) b) Then, work through the following numerical example: 200,- $US are newly deposited at Bank A, the only bank in country A. The reserve requirement ratio is 20%. Give the first three iterations in the process that multiplies money in the banking system. (3) c) If the process plays out all the way, what is the eventual amount of money in deposits at bank A following the initial 200,- deposit? (1) 12) Explain how different approaches to government deficits can stabilize or destabilize economies. (2)
The purpose of this assignment is to learn how to identify and effectively manage conflicts that arise in care delivery settings resulting in better management of patient care, including appropriate delegation. You will gain insight into conflict management strategies and develop a plan to collaborate with a potential nurse leader about the conflict and its impact in a practice setting.
Course Outcomes
Completion of this assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes.
CO1: Apply leadership concepts, skills, and decision making in the provision of high-quality nursing care, healthcare team management, and the oversight and accountability for care delivery in a variety of settings. (PO2)
CO3: Participate in the development and implementation of imaginative and creative strategies to enable systems to change. (PO7)
CO6: Develop a personal awareness of complex organizational systems, and integrate values and beliefs with organizational mission. (PO7)
CO7: Apply leadership concepts in the development and initiation of effective plans for the microsystems and system-wide practice improvements that will improve the quality of healthcare delivery. (PO2 and PO3)
Draft the second portion of your written quality assessment focusing on assessment tool, benchmarks, and quality thresholds. Base your responses on how you would gather and approach the data using your data-driven approach. Include the following critical elements: A. You were provided with data regarding readmission trends for hospitals, along with state-wide data. Discuss how you believe the data was collected and compare that process to the one you would use to collect data if you were the person charged with the task. What data collection tools would you use? Why? Provide research for support. B. Explain your approach to analyzing the data, comparing methods and tools to determine which you will utilize to accomplish your approach. You have studied Lean Six Sigma and Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA), along with others. Would one of these methodologies be suited for your approach? Explain why or why not. Be sure to provide research to support your approach. C. What benchmark should be used for assessing the level of quality based on the data given? (Note: You should conduct additional research of comparable institutions to complete this section.) How have other comparable institutions performed regarding the key indicator? What does the data on other institutions suggest might be the goal of this institution? Support your benchmark with appropriate examples and research. (Note the definition of “benchmark” below.) D. What threshold regarding the key indicator should be used for this organization? How will you use this threshold? (Note the definition of “threshold” below.)
Address the following questions:
Present a strategy to ensure credibility, dependability, and transferability in your study.
Identify how you will address researcher’s pre-understanding, preconceptions, and biases about the topic, and how you will set them aside.
Support your strategy with references to the assigned readings for this unit and the article located during your library search.
