NIH Case Study As a member of the committee of the National Institute for Health (NIH) charged with the responsibility to evaluate two projects, namely, a 5-year community-based trial of an oral rotavirus vaccine and another 5-year subsidy of a continuing influenza vaccine distribution program of DHHS administered throughout the US. I will vote for project number 2 on the subsidy for an ongoing influenza vaccine. The rationale for voting this project is that it has more benefits than costs. First, the project will save more lives than the first one. According to the data on the project, the vaccine promises to save 20,000 Americans who are elderly and those with deficient immunity. The rotavirus vaccine will save fewer children than the subsidy project would protect elderly Americans. Because rotavirus accounts for just 10% of all diarrhea affecting infants in the South American country, the vaccine will save the lives of 80% of 20,000 cases of infant diarrhea. The 80% corresponds to the proportion of all infants diarrhea hospitalizations caused by rotavirus. Mainly, this means that the vaccine will…
The Autonomous Nature of Doctoral Learning All doctoral students need to be autonomous learners. An autonomous learner has the power and ability to not only regulate but also control all their learning activities. Learners gain autonomy when they can effectively identify their learning needs. Also, such learners set distinct learning goals that are solely meant to address the identified learning needs. It is also vital to note that autonomous learners adopt appropriate learning strategies and optimize in acquiring knowledge. Independent doctoral learners should continually evaluate their outcomes. Notably, autonomous learners are very disciplined, motivated, responsible, and persistent, to mention a few. Prior Doctoral Learning Experiences Prior to the doctoral learning experience, one may find himself or herself not in a position to identify their learning needs effectively. Second, before getting the doctoral learning experiences, individuals may use very few online sources while exploring their research studies. Having low self-efficacy is also a shared learning experience that students face before gaining their doctoral learning experiences. Doctoral Programs and Learning Skills Doctoral programs, as well as learning skills and strategies employed in…

International commentators, especially from the Middle East, condemned the attack terming it international terrorism. However, President Trump and his aides defended the attack by arguing that it was legal by the authority bestowed on the President to protect the United States forces from attack. Subsequently, experts disagreed on how to…
Journal Reading and Critical Comparisons Introduction Proper structuring of a research paper is a critical skill to ensure that information on results and findings are well communicated and understood by any reader. Adequate research about a specific problem question is expected to have an evident background that informs a reader about particular aspects, and that leads to a clear understanding of the research question (Balakumar, 2013). It should be able to state clear and concise objectives that the research seeks to achieve. The researcher has to explore other prior studies in the same research area, and those studied need to be explained in a manner that the reader can connect the relationship between the research question and previous studies (Ramdhani et al. 2008). The literature review should also provide an understanding of what is expected by carrying empirical analysis. Research should also establish reasons for using a particular methodology in data collection and analysis as well as being able to show the limitations of the study and recommendations for further research. This paper will discuss the difference in clarity portrayed…

“Should elementary schools embrace Educational Video Games?” Introduction A game is a form of play that is structured to captivate players and excite their senses, which are kinds of things that a teacher requires students to have in a classroom environment.
