compare and contrast the various findings, arguments, theories and methodologies in the literature

The Task
For this assignment you must choose a minimum of 4 of the published articles on
Brightspace and interpret and critically evaluate in a formal literature review. You
will be looking to compare viewpoints, arguments and identify gaps in the
knowledge. Your submission should range from 4-6 pages (not including cover page
and references). APA guidelines required.
Here are some things to think about:
-what are the common themes?
-compare and contrast the various findings, arguments, theories and methodologies
in the literature
-what do the authors agree or disagree about? What are the major areas of
disagreement, controversy or debate?
-Critique the literature; synthesis and evaluate the research, do not just describe or
report it. Look for any assumptions or bias in the literature.
The Structure
Like any academic document a literature review also follows a definite structure,
adhering to which is fundamental for your literature to get evaluated. It consists of
an introduction, body and conclusion. The introduction and conclusion are self-
explanatory; however, the body basically deals with the analysis. The analysis can
be done in many ways such as chronological, thematic, or historical.

Traditional US HR

What specifically in your organization or former organization is different between your traditional U.S. HR strategies and those you may have to create if you decide to go global? How will your organization’s SHRM be different than your IHRM? Conduct research on the activities, programs, and functions needed for consideration of becoming a global HRM for your organization. Cite at least three references in your initial response.

Sermon Manuscript

Each
student will submit a full sermon manuscript (word for word transcript) based
on Philippians 4:10-20. The manuscript
should reveal principles gleaned from the course and should be expository in
nature and reflect the background material gleaned from the research paper. The length (usually 7 double spaced pages)
should be sufficient enough to cover 25-35 minutes in the pulpit.

The background paper is attached for your information.

Transforming Data into Information

The Woodmill Company makes windows and door trim products. The first step in the process is to rip dimension (2 × 8,2 × 10, etc.) lumber into narrower pieces. Currently, the company uses a manual process in which an experienced operator quickly looks at a board and determines what rip widths to use. The decision is based on the knots and defects in the wood.
A company in Oregon has developed an optical scanner that can be used to determine the rip widths. The scanner is programmed to recognize defects and to determine rip widths that will optimize the value of the board. A test run of 100 boards was put through the scanner and the rip widths were identified. However, the boards were not actually ripped. A lumber grader determined the resulting values for each of the 100 boards, assuming that the rips determined by the scanner had been made. Next, the same 100 boards were manually ripped using the normal process. The grader then determined the value for each board after the manual rip process was completed. The resulting data, in the file, Woodmill Data, consists of manual rip values and scanner rip values for each of the 100 boards.
You are a process manager at the Woodmill Company tasked with determining if an optical scanner would be beneficial. Write a 4–5 page report to your supervisor (including a cover page and a Source List page) in which you:
Summarize the Woodmill Company’s problem of ripping dimension lumber into narrower pieces.
Develop a frequency distribution for the board values for the scanner and the manual process.
Generate appropriate descriptive statistics for both manual and scanner values.
Analyze the frequency distribution and descriptive statistics for both manual and scanner processes. Use Excel to create your charts.
Determine which process generates more values (manual or scanner).
Evaluate which process has less relative variability, using frequency distribution and descriptive statistics.
Recommend whether the optical scanner is the best option for the company.
Use two sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.
The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
Apply strategies that are informed by the principles of statistical thinking and data-driven decision making to enhance business process performance.

Can Video Games Be Educational

This is a Source Review assignment. How you ever read products reviews on Amazon? This is my major writing assignment in this course, you are going to writie your own review, but instead of reviewing a product, you are going to review an article, book, documentary, or other type of source. I need you to select ONE (REALLY GREAT) SOURCE TO REVIEW. For this assignment, you will need to find a relevant source for your topic. To complete your review, aim to write a strong, well-planned essay that reviews the source on the following range of criteria:
credibilty*
ethos (often linked to credibility)
pathos
logos
usefulness
purpose
relevance to your research project
*you must include at least one paragraph that critically evaluates the source’s author on the basis of his or her credibility. You must use specific quotes and paraphrases from the source to support your points. The purpose of this assignments is to focus on a critical , thoughtful review of the source. Consider the way the author of the source presents the information and evaluate the source for credibility, usefulness, relevance, ethos, pathos, logos, etc.
Your thesis statement should reflect whether or not the source is effective based on an evaluation of the criteria listed above. For example, is the source effective because it provides much logical appeal (logos) in the form of facts and statistics? Or does the strength come from the authors credentials and background or extensive experience with the topic?
In addition to a strong thesis statement, your review should include an engaging introduction, several well-developed body paragraphs that support the thesis, and a powerful conclusion that reiterates your main ideas.
Remember to use appropriate style and language for academic writing. Avoid cliches, Consider your audience, Avoid slang, Proofread carefuuly to avoid typos and Avoid contractions grammatical errors. Please use Tubric and No Plagiarism my professor use Turnitin system to detect rubric and plagiarism. Again, the source review requires you to focus on providing a clear, detailed, critical evaluation of your selected source.

Essay on Short Stories

Ta-Nehisi Coates says in a letter to his son that “white America’s progress . . . was built on looting and violence,” and when asked why he believes this, he says, “The answer is American history” (6).
Incorporating as support the YouTube video and articles I supplied you (Week 3 module “Supplemental Sources for the Midterm”) analyze the effects of past trauma on people of color through a discussion of “What You Pawn I Will Redeem” and Between the World and Me. To further strengthen your analysis and support, and to further illustrate the connection between the past and the present, you may also incorporate your knowledge of American history, the psychology of trauma, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, current political and social events, and/or any other knowledge you feel is relevant.
You must incorporate textual support from “What You Pawn I Will Redeem” and Between the World and Me. That means you are including and analyzing specific passages from those pieces
You must incorporate the video on forced removal of Native American children, the article on the Trail of Tears, and the article on slavery and the cotton trade.
You must give credit to your sources (the articles and video I supplied, history class, newspaper article, Ruggiero, psychology class, etc) as best you can. DO NOT make stuff up. If you remember something from your criminal justice class, for example, but you’re unsure of the specifics, LOOK IT UP. You have time to do a Google search to verify your memory. And remember that paraphrased material must be cited as well. JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS IN YOUR OWN WORDS DOESN’T MEAN IT WAS YOUR OWN IDEA. CITE YOUR SOURCES.
You must discuss both cause (white America’s progress as built on looting and violence) and effect (the outcomes, the results — for people of color and indigenous people — of the looting and violence).
For a well-developed exploration, this essay should be 5-7 pages.

(Supplemental Sources)(You will be required to incorporate all three of these sources into your midterm essay)
