Based on data gathered from the United States energy, it is clear that 50% of commuters do not use public transport to work, but rather their vehicles. That shows the number of cars on the road and how it can cause traffic. However, traffic can be mitigated through people utilizing public transit services (Tan, Steinbach, Karpatne, & Kumar, 2019). And therefore, public transit services must be improved by reducing costs and improving service quality to increase their utility and attract more people in using public transport to avoid them using their vehicles.

There were different communication ways among all leaders in the USS Will Rogers submarine. The way the first and second CO communicated were all different. The first CO was an authoritative leader who had no room for negotiation as his words were final (Zhou, & Wu, 2018). He adopted a top-down model of communication where subordinates only acted upon orders from above. On the contrary, Pelaez was different as he cherished two-way communication, and he was easily approachable by subordinates and other stakeholders as he incorporated their views and opinions in critical decision-making. Also, David adopted open two-way communication with stakeholders through the inspiration of Palez. However, he switched back to the situational leadership approach when he left his subordinates to make

In scenarios where an underworld shows a close resemblance with the living world, this indicates the prevalence of fear about death. This also suggests that little communication or none of it occurs between the demised and the living. Notably, the perception of not returning heightens the fear of death in such situations.

  1. What does a suicide in an underworld story usually emphasize?

Suicide cases in an underworld story convey that shame becomes part of a person due to violating an essential cultural value. Most suicides create a learning experience despite the guilt and do not lead to a punishment. Generally, this shows that communication has happened between those living and the dead.

One way of encouraging two communications in the company is by creating an open and effective communication channel in the organization. This will allow the information to move both horizontally and vertically. Vertical communication will allow the organization to communicate new goals to employees and provide feedback while allowing employees to bring new ideas and raise their concerns (Atapattu, Fan, R., Dharmawansa, Wang, Evans, & Tsiftsis, 2020). Horizontal communication will transfer ideas among the employees. Using the right communication channel will also help in encouraging two-way communication. The organization will use face-to-face communication strategies or phone calls. This will help in building job satisfaction and develop trust between the management and employees.

Describe your experience with locating and reading weekly research articles. Share an example of an article that has been useful and applicable to your practice. Share an example of an article (or information) that was not helpful. Provide rationale.

Submission Instructions:

  • Your initial post should be at least 500 words, formatted and cited in current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources.

An example of a research article I found helpful in my nursing practice was “Impact of Information and Communication Technologies on Nursing Care.” The journal article clearly illustrates the positive influence of information technology in health care delivery and the role of nurses in attaining improved service delivery in information management, decision making, and communication (Rouleau et al., 2017). Reading the article increased my understanding of the role of information technology in nursing practice. Additionally, I have encountered literature that had irrelevant information about the nursing practice because it has incomplete information. The research article did not exhaustively discuss the subject in question. My search was based on the importance of the art of nursing in the nursing practice, but most of the information provided in the investigation did not touch on the subject’s importance to the nursing practice. This area requires extensive research to be conducted as the articles such as Lopyola and Oliveira’s (2021) research article do not illustrate the importance of the art of nursing to the nursing practice as a whole.

The open letter alluded to in the previous section of the paper exposed some of the challenges employees were facing at the company. The anonymous senior-level employee started with an opening statement letting Lazaridis and Jim know that they were forced to write the letter because the company’s culture does not allow employees to voice their concerns and suggestions openly and freely without worrying about the career-limiting impacts of such a move. After the opening statement, the anonymous employee identified eight issues the company needs to address. These include focusing on end-user experience, recruiting senior software leaders, cutting projects to their basics, investing in developers, improving product marketing, employee accountability, treating customers and the press with humility, and engaging and interacting with employees. The anonymous employee concluded the letter by providing personal insights into the company’s state and day-to-day operations. According to the anonymous employee, the company needs to make RIM an enjoyable workplace, considering its workplace feels like a Soviet-era government workplace

  1. What are the primary types of information used to analyze learners? How do you, or could you, use this information in the systematic planning process for learning and for media selection?
  2. Smaldino et al. explain ten common types of instructional strategies. Which of these do you use most frequently and which less frequently? What instructional purpose (or goals) did you want to achieve? What advantages and limitations have you experienced when integrating each strategy?
  3. Bates describes the SECTIONS model for choosing and using media (and the technology used to support the media) in education. Compare the SECTIONS model with Smaldino et al.’s “Select Resources” step and selection rubric criteria from the ASSURE model. What do you see as limitations and possibilities of each set of criteria from each model for media selection?

Reading and Resources

  1. Readings from Smaldino et. al
  2. Bates Chapters 8 and 9
    Bates, A. W. (2019). Teaching and learning in a digital age: Guidelines for designing, teaching, and learning (2nd ed.). https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/teachinginadigitalagev2/
  3. Videos: Introduction to instructional media, ASSURE, and instructional systems (you are encouraged to follow the captions and/or the transcripts of the videos)
  4. Web resources

Requirements: 3 paragraph

Answer preview

The ASSURE model explained by Smaldino et al. (2019) informs choosing instructional strategies and resources needed to achieve the desired outcome. Similarly, the SECTIONS model described by Bates et al. (2019) criteria for effective choice of media for teaching and learning. Both ASSURE and SECTIONS inform the need for active decisions making process to integrate the choice into a broader course design. The possibility of using the SECTIONS model is to have a technology that incorporates the diverse interests and needs of the learners. However, this model is complex since it requires an extensive evaluation of each criterion to inform decisions (Bates et al., 2019). The ASSURE model informs the overall planning goals in using technology and media to deliver the desired outcome.

The second instance is Flame which is another exceedingly state-of-the-art cyber weapon that was aimed at attacking telecommunications networks inside the Middle East. It was discovered in 2012 and is believed to have been developed by a nation-state for cyber espionage purposes (Atrews, 2020). Flame could record audio conversations, steal sensitive records, take screenshots, and intercept network and communication traffic. It targeted telecommunication providers to gain unauthorized rights of entry into their networks and accumulate valuable intelligence. The discovery of Flame highlighted the need for strong security features to defend telecommunications networks from advanced and continual threats.

The third instance is the 2015 Ukrainian Power Grid Attack, wherein a cyber-attack targeted the power grid in Ukraine, resulting in a massive blackout that affected many citizens. The incident was attributed to a Russian state-funded institution and involved malware that was designed to disrupt industrial control systems, together with those used in telecommunications
