In this discussion, you will reflect on the reading response and written response activities that you completed in Module Two. You will share which text you chose as the basis for the project, as well as the various audiences and rationale for why those audiences were chosen.
Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful toward your peers and instructor in your initial and response discussion posts.
Create one initial post and respond to at least two of your classmates.
For your initial post, address the following:
First, please share the title of the article you selected for your project.
Then, list the two audiences you chose for your project. For each audience (primary and secondary), address the following:
Describe the audience.
Explain why you chose that audience.
Remember that these are the audiences you will address in your project, not the audiences the writer of the article intended to address.
Consider the following questions as you craft your post:
Primary audience:
Who is your primary audience?
Why is this audience the best first choice for your analysis?
Why does this audience need to understand these ideas?
How can this audience put these ideas to use?

I. Medical facilities often have more patients waiting for organ transplants than there are available organs. Suppose you have been asked to write a computer program that selects which of several candidates should receive an available organ. What data would you want on file to be able to use in your program, and what decisions would you make based on the data? What data do you think others might use that you would choose not to use?

Could it really have happened and how?
Could one of the top company’s in the US, one worth billions, and heralded as the most innovative, actually be a fraud? Could people (everyone from executives, auditors, accounting firms, and more) just make up the numbers, imagine the profits and make it a reality? Aren’t there rules? What about regulators, like state and federal authorities? Shouldn’t someone have stopped it?
Much of Chapter 5 talks about white collar crime like fraud. And perhaps there is no more wide-scale a fraud than Enron. You can read entire books or watch movies about the company.
But here is just a brief overview of what happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5qC1YGRMKI
Watch the video above and then pick ANY TWO below to answer (1.5 per; 3 pts total). Be sure your posts do not mirror others. Try new options (i.e., this board will be lousy if we all do the same one). Let’s make an option off limits once it has been used twice. Move on to another topic once a prompt has been used twice.
1. What was mark to market accounting and how do you think it contributed to the fraud at Enron? Give specific examples.
2. Who could or should have prevented Enron? Discuss the role of company executives/board of directorts; government regulators; independent accounting firms and auditors; the financial press and analysts for Wall Street.
3. Of the parties listed in #2 above, can you see how any may have had conflicts of interest? Explain.
4. What was the relationship of Enron to government in you view and did this help/hurt society, the economy and the company in the end?
5. Who was Jeff Skilling and what imprints did he leave on the corporate culture of Enron and how did this impact the scandal?
6. List one crime listed in Chapter 5 that you might charge Enron executives with and state why.
7. What was the role of Arthur Anderson? What happened to the firm as a result of Enron?
8. Why do you think some Enron executives were charges with crimes (and not just civil violations)? Explain using terms from Chapter 5.
9. Do you think Enron could happen again? Why or why not? Be specific.
10. What lesson does Enron hold for a company that cannot explain clearly how it makes money (or will make money for start-up or early stage firm)?
11. Describe at least 2 of the cast of characters mentioned from Enron (their bio/role, what happened to them, etc).
12. Did Enron help or hurt society overall in your view?
13. Can you think of 2 or more conflicts of interest from the video?
14. List 3 factors you think could help prevent another Enron?
15. There has been a great deal of recent activity on Wall Street with investors buying into new companies (or older existing ones) and special purpose acquisitions (SPACS) that may or may not make money. What lesson does Enron offer the investors of today, if any?
16. Also, there have been some corporate scandals in the news related to “crytpo” or crypto currency (FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried, etc). Do you see any parallels? Are widespread scandals in business inevitable or can regulations prevent them? Why or how?

I have attached the template needed to complete this assignment. Use the attached template outline using the instructions below to complete. Use at least 2 references in APA 7 style less than 5 years.
Directions
For this Assignment, you will use the template to create a training program for the employees of Goodwill hospital, which was recently acquired by the larger Rocky Mountain Hospital Region.
You will focus on the first of a series of training courses with the goal of bringing these employees into the new organizational culture. The content should cover changes in the mission, vision, and goals of the organization.
Include a title and reference page. Support your work with a minimum of 2–4 references.

Single Case Research Design (SCRD) Poster Presentation
This assignment will assess important skills as an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Scientist-Practitioner. First, you will design an evidence-based research study as it applies to a problem behavior for a client using a provided scenario. Then, you will create a poster presentation of your completed study. Begin by conducting research and finding at least three peer-reviewed academic sources that provide an evidence-based analysis of the specific intervention that will be used to support the target behavior that you will focus on for your client. Then, use the Unit 9 Assignment Template link to build your poster presentation. The poster presentation must include the following.
• Study Title
o Provide a title for your study that reflects the dependent/independent variables and the subjects. For example: Use of Non-Contingent Reinforcement on the Perpetual Squawking of a Parrot with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
• Introduction
o Provide a rationale as to why you chose this study, based on the literature that you reviewed. What makes your study a unique contribution to the field?
o Include your research statement phrased as: “The purpose of this study is to….”
 Be sure that it is clear as to what your study is looking to investigate or prove, and that both the independent and dependent variables in your research statement.
• Methods/Materials
o Include information on the participant(s), setting(s), materials, dependent variable, and procedures used in your study. Be sure to identify the research design you selected.
• Results
o Include a graphical representation of the data (hypothetical for the case study or actual if you are using a client) that meets ABA conventions for the selected graph(s).
 Do NOT copy and paste any data or graphs from alternate sources.
o Provide a brief summary of the results.
• Discussion
o Summarize the effectiveness and discuss the limitations of your study.
 Consider the pros and cons of the research design, the number of participants, the lack of generality, etc.
The Scenario you will use: Raymond is a 34-year-old man who wants to quit smoking. He has smoked a pack a day for the past 20 years but fears that continued smoking will have negative impacts on his health. Raymond is not sure that he can quit “cold-turkey” and has come to you to help him to establish a behavioral plan for quitting smoking. He has previously tried hypnosis, using a nicotine patch, and medications prescribed by his doctor, but nothing seems to be working for him to sustain a cigarette free existence. He is hoping that you can provide a more permanent solution to changing his habitual smoking behavior. For this scenario, plan a single case research study that will demonstrate whether your intervention is successful in addressing Raymond’s desire to quit smoking
In addition to the Poster Presentation, you will submit a 5-page essay summary, not including title page or annotated references, to further discuss the SCRD that you designed. Your original essay will be in APA formatting 7th ed. and include the following:
● Rationale of why the chosen design is appropriate for the study.
● Assessment of the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of the chosen research design.
● Discussion of reliability and validity of the measurement.
● A graphical representation of the hypothetical data used for the study (do not copy open-source data, use as guide), followed by a visual analysis of data to include:
• A summary of the within and between condition effects of the research design.
• A comparison of level, trend, and immediacy of effect.
• Calculations that identify variability or stability of data within a condition.
• A discussion of the split middle line of progress to determine trend and the Percentage of Non-overlapping Data (PND).
● Annotated Bibliography: Sources listed in APA format within an Annotated Bibliography of the three articles. Include a brief descriiption of the research question(s) and hypothesis as well as the method, setting, subjects, and research design used. Be sure your annotated bibliograph provides a summary of the results and the conclusions as reported by the author(s) of the study.

This essay involves doing “close readings” of two poems and offering a thoughtful interpretation that compares them while engaging some of the techniques, and readings I provided. The two poems I chose for this essay are: Four A.M. By Wislawa Szymborska / Awaking in New York By Maya Angelou
Guidelines:

Introduce the poems and explain in your own words how you connect them together. Offer images, lines, or words and their connotations to support your interpretation. And feel free to provide your personal identification with the poems (if you choose).
In your discussion, you must incorporate the ideas from the readings (Mary Oliver, Mark Yakich, and Elisa Gabbert). Be specific and quote directly from these sources.
