Resources to determine qualitative measures Access to Quantitative Analysis Tools To run a text through these tools, you will need to “scrub” the text in order to rid it of any non-ASCII characters. Use the following directions as a guide: Copy and paste original text into a Word document. Eliminate any extraneous information other than the passage, title, and author. Delete any tables, graphs, or other illustrations. Make the text a uniform font, size, and paragraph scheme (single spacing, no spaces after paragraphs, etc.). Save file as .txt file. Word and open newly saved .txt file using TextEdit or Notepad. Proofread text for typos. Eliminate any non-ASCII characters ("curly" quotation marks, em dashes, question marks that took the place of apostrophes, etc.). Use find and replace to streamline this process. Re-save newly scrubbed file. Certain tools only allow you to run texts that are 1,000 words or less. Cut down your word count as necessary.

Impact of Risk is the effect an unfavorable would have on DMNA if the event were to occur. This effect could be some type of harm or an opportunity that would be lost. Probability of Occurrence is the likelihood that an unfavorable would occur based on the controls in place. Select an Overall Risk Level of the function if there is Failed Controls. If the above internal controls or the function failed and the potential negative consequences occur, how would you estimate the risk level of the function? High Major negative consequences could result if the function or its internal controls fail to operate properly. High impact and high likelihood that the risk would occur, #4 on above graph. Moderate Moderate negative consequences result if the function or its internal controls fail to operate properly. #2 or 3 on above graph.

Expand Certificate of Need Coverage: Under current law, many segments of the health care delivery system are not covered by CON regulations. Doctors’ practices, for example are not regulated and this has allowed the proliferation and expansion of specialty practices that are not subject to CON approval processes and are able to compete unfairly with vital safety-net hospitals and other facilities. NYSNA supports the extension of CON regulations to all health care providers that are currently excluded from coverage. What is your position on this issue? ⃝ Strongly Agree ⃝ Agree ⃝ No Position ⃝ Disagree ⃝ Strongly Disagree Protect the Rights, Working Conditions and Economic Security of Nurses and other Care Providers Restructuring and reform of the health care system that is currently underway is driven largely by the desire to reduce and make the system financially sustainable. Health care is necessarily a labor intensive field of economic activity. As a result, the drive to cut costs will increasingly take the form of an effort to reduce the monetary costs of labor and to intensify the workloads of health care providers. This approach is consistent with a broader tendency in the economy to squeeze down wages and benefits of workers in order to generate higher profits on behalf of owners of capital and operators of businesses. This general tendency has resulted in prolonged wage stagnation and increasing pressure to slash salaries, pensions, health care and other labor costs. It has also led to increased concentrations of wealth and income in fewer and fewer hands and an increasingly precarious and insecure condition for the majority of the population. NYSNA is adamantly opposed to this exploitative and destructive trend and will fight for the rights of nurses, other health care workers and for working people in general. NYSNA supports legislation to provide minimum staffing ratios, limit the hours of work of nurses, effectively limit mandatory overtime, and otherwise allow nurses to fulfill their professional duties under and decent working conditions. What is your position on this issue? ⃝ Strongly Agree ⃝ Agree ⃝ No Position ⃝ Disagree ⃝ Strongly Disagree NYSNA supports legislation to provide a safe working environment for nurses and patients, free of threats of violence, managerial abuses and environmental hazards.

Activity Pre-Evaluation Example Answers Instructions: Answer the following questions to the best of your ability based on your prior knowledge. Define the following terms in your own words: Atom: The building block of matter. Element: A substance made of one or more of the same kind of atom. Molecule: A substance made of two or more atoms. Particle: The smallest piece of a substance. Bonding: The force of attraction between molecules. From what elements is water made? Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen. H2O How are water molecules connected? Water molecules are connected by hydrogen bonding. This occurs when a hydrogen atom experiences attraction to some other nearby atom. The attraction in a hydrogen bond is electrostatic and occurs when a hydrogen atom bound to a highly electronegative atom is attracted to some other nearby electronegative atom. Describe the behavior of water when a straw is placed in water. Answer: Water moves up in the straw due to capillary action, which is a result of surface tension—the property of the surface of the water due to the cohesive nature of water molecules.

Mounting of LEGO® Module Line up the LEGO® pulley modules with the holes that were drilled into the mounting plate. Pass zip ties through the holes, ensuring the setup is flush with the mounting plate. Thread the string/fishing line though the immobilized pulleys, and tie the end of the line to middle of a 9M beam after it passes through the non-moving pulley. This will prevent the line from getting eaten up by the spool and also allows for easy addition of the two moving pulleys. The screw hooks can be passed through the ends of this 9M beam to attach the platform to the system. Congratulations! You now have a LEGO® pulley system. How much weight can you lift?

the transport strategy in the Vision Statement. Finally, the AWRP proposal is not compatible with the waste hierarchy as it does not enable re-use and recycling to be maximised and would result in waste being treated further down the hierarchy than is necessary or appropriate. This begs a simple question - How can you have a vision statement that is so completely at odds with the current plan? Finally, if AWRP is built, it would exist in 2030 and have another 10-15 years of the contract still to run so most of the Vision Statement is invalid. If the current Waste Core Strategy development exercise is to mean anything then it is absolutely essential that no decision on the current planning application is taken until after the new Waste Core Strategy has been developed independently of current proposals and accepted by the Council and, if necessary, an appropriate inquiry before an inspector. The importance of this last cannot be over-emphasised. For that reason, I am copying this letter to Mr Shaun Robson. In doing so, I am asking him to register this as an objection to a decision on AWRP being taken before the new WCS is agreed. B2: Additional Material on Harm that AWRP will This section summarises and extends why the AWRP will cause harm, contrary to the applicant’s claims, and includes the following sections: Over-Capacity Issues Financial harm Traffic impacts Emissions and Abnormal Operations Implications of the NPPF B2.1 Over-Capacity Issues are already issues of over-capacity in parts of the European Community coupled with the imminent onset of over-capacity both regionally and nationally in the UK. These are explored below. B2.1.1: The European Dimension are already issues of over-capacity in some EU countries such as Germany and Holland. This is beginning to have commercial consequences. This was exemplified at a recent seminar organized by the European Federation of Waste Management and Environmental Services (FEAD). As an example, Frans Beckers of the Van Gansewinkel Group waste business in Holland has stated that the company closed down an incinerator due to overcapacity and advised others to do the same: “We closed one of our incineration plants in the Rotterdam area. There is overcapacity in Germany and we hope some of our colleagues will follow suit. We hope more [incineration] capacity will be taken out of the market. In the end we could harm recycling performance”.
