Descriptive statistics and Histogram Reducing the monthly hospital readmissions within the U.S.A has been a key element for the current policies in national payments. Measuring patient experiences within the hospital is therefore a requirement from Medicare where hospitals are required to collect and report patient experiences (Wood et al. 2019). To a greater extend, patient satisfaction, readmission, and hospital utilization are influenced by the quality of care being offered by healthcare providers. As a result, such measures can be relied in evaluating the performance of healthcare workers and management. The hospital management is responsible for the overall care performance.  Every new manager would work tirelessly to ensure improved patient satisfaction levels, increased facility utilization, and reduced readmission rates. Below is an analysis of the utilization, satisfaction, and readmission performance of the nursing home since the recruitment of the new department manager 70 months ago. The purpose of the analysis is to determine whether to retain the manager.

Human Trafficking Offenses Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program helps in overcoming the significant challenges to provide policymakers with an understanding of the prevalence of human trafficking as well as nature and distribution of the crime. National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) significantly increases officers’ ability to record data about a specific incident, which makes it easy to understand the crime.UCR gives a tally of incidents whereby offices report arrest in a specific incident. Additionally, it does not provide information about the simple assault which mostly occur in domestic violence offence. NIBRS, on the other hand, gives information of each incident reported to police, for instance, the relationship between the victims and offender injuries at the incident scene (Addington, 2019). Further, NIBRS requires that officers should report multiple victims, offences and offenders which makes it easy to compare and analyze multiple incidents. Therefore, there are unique challenges on the crime of human trafficking on both UCR and NIBRS program, for instance, the fact that human trafficking is mobile and consists of serial incident thus making it co-occur with other numerous offences.  …

GOVERNMENT LIABILITY For human beings to live peacefully without, they need laws that will regulate and govern them. Nonetheless, coming up with laws can be a cumbersome process and will need a lot of resources to be invested for them to be passed. Most importantly the laws that are passed must be accepted by every individual that lives in the country in question. It was due to this that when the U.S. was free from the Britons, they decided to continue using the Common Law that they used because it was much easy to transition into a new nation. This approach proved to be a success because the U.S. has successfully used this law to become the great nation that it is. Even though this law was adopted form their colonizers, the approach that the U.S. uses to enforce the law can be said to be different because Britons still use the monarchy kind of rule. This did not allow citizens to sue their government because of sovereign immunity. After independence, the sovereign immunity was still in place in the…

Fileless malware and security policy conformance Fileless malware is one of the most critical issues in the face of increased technological innovation and inventions. In this kind of attack, the initial vector of the bout may be in the form of an email with some added links. This kind of added component may come along with a JavaScript who aim is to open the door to a great threat. In this regard, it should be noted that the script may end up staying fully fileless as it operates behind the scenes and thus making some sort of commands to the machine of the user.

One of these issues is identifying as well as analyzing the concealed and obfuscated code. The fileless malware portrays itself in such a way that it uses various techniques that can be used to conceal and obfuscate the malware, thus causing the detection tools to label the…

Translational Research Graphic Organizer     Basic to Clinical Translational Research Correlational Quantitative Research Observations (Similarities/Differences) Methodology Translational research incorporates methods that transform the basic tests conducted in the laboratory to viable, evidence-based practice (Lane-Fall, Curran, & Beidas, 2019). Basic to clinical translational research involves laboratory manipulation of interventions and studies done on animals. Tests are done for compounds and on animals with observations recorded and adjusted appropriately to suit human conditions (Lane-Fall, Curran, & Beidas, 2019). After the basic stage of improving the compound, it is moved to the clinical phase. Human trials begin systematically applying the compound to humans and observing the reactions and mechanisms while adjusting it necessarily (Lane-Fall, Curran, & Beidas, 2019). In correlational research, the investigator assesses the statistical relationship between two measured variables without any intention or little intentions to control extraneous parameters. The analysis generates a correlation coefficient that is an indicator of the extent of the relationship between the two variables being studied. Calculation of correlation is done in one of the three forms available: Autocorrelation, Spearman Rank Correlation, or Pearson product-moment…
