Assessment Item 2: Understanding research concepts 2017 Weight: 35% of overall mark
Submission: 11:59 pm Sunday 23rd April 2017, through Turnitin. No paper submission is required.
Instructions:
This assessment aims to test your understanding of research concepts and evidence based practice approach. Using your knowledge gained from lectures, tutorial activities, online activities, assessments and readings, answer to the following questions and submit this as a word document through Turnitin. Where applicable, word requirements have been noted.
You will need to find the information and work out the issues without asking for help from your tutors.
You will only be tested on content discussed in lectures, tutorials, online activities, and readings.
You can contact your subject coordinator if you have unforeseen and exceptional issues, however, assumed knowledge will not be clarified.
PART ONE: General content questions
One of the underlying concepts explored through this subject was conveying broad clinical scenarios and questions to searchable questions and using refined search terms to extract data.
1. Why is it important to use short and specific search terms in database search instead of long descriptive sentences? (Max 50 words, 1 mark)
2. Describe the relationship between the two frameworks that underpin this subject: Tanner’s Model of Clinical Judgement and Evidence Based Practice? (Max 150 words, 3 marks)
3. Describe the purpose of a systematic review compared to a single randomised controlled trial? (Max 50 words, 2 marks)
PART TWO: Research methodology and results
CASE STUDY 1: Read the article carried out by McKinstry et al., 2013. A copy of this article is in Assessment 2 folder.
4. What is the advantage of using randomised control trail study design in this particular study? (1 mark)
5. What were the primary and secondary outcome/outcomes in this study? (1 marks)
6. How did the authors assess blood pressures in this study? (1 marks)
7. Has the study used an adequate sample size? Justify your answer (2 marks)
8. The authors claim that the mean difference in daytime systolic ambulatory blood pressure fell between telemonitoring group and usual care group at 6 months was 4.3 mm Hg (95% confidence interval 2.0 to 6.5). What does this tell you? (3 marks)
9. The researchers compared the mean differences in daytime systolic ambulatory blood pressure between telemonitoring group and usual care group at 6 months and reported p=0.0002. What does this tell you? (2 marks)
10. What did the authors find about the effect of telemonitoring on the mean daytime diastolic ambulatory blood pressure? (Back up your answer with the reported statistics)? (3 marks)
11. Would you consider using telemonorting for management of uncontrolled hypertension for your patients? (Justify your answer taking into consideration the results of statistics, clinical significance, and cost analysis) (3 marks)
Bandage A and Bandage B are alternative compression bandages for treating venous leg ulcers. In an RCT comparing the two bandages, 65% of patients had healed ulcers after 12 weeks of treatment with Bandage A (control group) compared to 85% of patients treated either Bandage B (intervention group).
12. Calculate Relative Risk of Healing (RR), Absolute Risk Difference (ARD), and Numbers Needed to Treat (NNT). (3 marks)
13. How would you interpret your findings for RR, ARD, and NNT above? (3 marks)
14. Is it worth using bandage B over Bandage A? (Think about factors that you should consider when making decision about implementing a new technique) (2 mark)
PART THREE: Implementation of EBP
Thinking broadly about the way you engage with evidence in your clinical practice, please answer the following questions:
15. What are some of the barriers to implementing new research findings into clinical practice? (2 marks for 4 identified barriers)

A discussion of the case in class. You are encouraged to participate in this discussion by offering your considered views.
ASSIGNMENT 1(1000 words)
See attached doc-Metabical
Please ensure your work is professionally presented of the highest standard. Proof-read carefully, ensure all the layout works and would be of a standard you would hand a client in a contemporary business environment.??
Case Study Components - Your Work ??
The Case Study will comprise two components. These are: ??
1) A discussion of the case in class. You are encouraged to participate in this discussion by offering your considered views. The case study discussion will be facilitated by your lecturer.?
2) An executive summary three (3) pages in length MAXIMUM that addresses the key questions and issues of the case. More information on these questions and issues, and the structure of the summary will be provided.?
?
Please ensure that you bring a copy of your executive summary with you to the class. As you will be submitting your work PRIOR to the discussion a copy of your executive summary will allow you to access your information to provide pertinent comments and to also make notes that may assist in your understanding. ??
More Information on the case
The case study is on METABICAL (a revolutionary weight-loss drug) – there are some important things to keep in mind.
You have been asked to prepare an “executive summary” for Ms Printup. Ultimately Ms Printup must receive from you a document that clearly outlines the key marketing communication strategic thinking that will assist in the successful launch and ongoing positive support for Metabical.
This should be 3 pages maximum (this does not include a standard cover page with your name and student number). Do NOT go over 3 pages (use any realistic layout you wish) for the executive summary itself. In essence pretend this was really being handed to her in February 2008, giving her the strategic insights that will make the January 2009 launch and ongoing sales a huge success. In doing so you are welcome to assume that the marketing communication tools of present day are available - that is, treat the case as realistic in terms of the product launch, but you can think of the current environment in making your recommendations.
The cover page does not count as a page. Make sure you include a cover page. However, do NOT use any appendices, reference pages or the like.
The use of section headings is STRONGLY recommended. Do NOT under any circumstances write an essay or try and answer questions in some form of list. This is a business (marketing) analysis that should clearly summarize the key issues, provide suitable options/alternatives and then (most importantly) a clear strategic direction for the marketing communication activities.
Read the case carefully. Sort out the relevant information from the padding (although there is very little padding in truth).
Remember to assume appropriate conditions (which is not hard to do). You can presume that such drugs are not as heavily restricted in terms of their promotional ability as is actually the case in Australia (this makes it easier for you). In doing so keep in mind appropriate ethical activities.
Aside from the questions at the end of the case that basically illuminate the key decision points, I would suggest the following things to consider (as this is largely how the discussion will be facilitated in class) as you develop your executive summary. Keep in mind that you are writing this executive summary for Ms Printup specifically and are acting as a marketing communications consultant to her – so if you are stuck what to include and what to say, put yourself in her shoes and ask “at that point in time, what would I have wished to receive from someone given the marketing communication issues that had to be addressed”? The following is suggested, but is not an exhaustive list. By reading the case carefully you will see a number of other key points arise that require strategic consideration.
What is the decision making process for Metabical (in terms of target audiences)? Who is involved in the process?
i How should Ms Printup think about the segmentation of potential Metabical consumers? Who is the optimal target consumer? (keep in mind the possible difference between target consumer and audiences)
i How should CSP identify and employ the differential advantages that Metabical offers to position itself in the marketplace?
i What positioning strategy would you chose. Based upon the positioning you have chosen, what would your communications strategy to the target audiences? Would you suggest a change to the proposed budget or IMC mix? If so why?
i What would the brief timeline for your communications plan look like? (a 12 month timeline is enough).
Finally, the general approach to embarking on developing a communications plan is three steps – segmentation, targeting and positioning (STP). Consider these factors carefully as you work through the case (and the four exhibits at the back). That is, what are the segments, who (why, when) should be targeted and how should the product be positioned.

Design a simplified and shared dynamic RAM controller circuit
Swinburne University of Technology
Faculty of Science Engineering and Technology
Mini Project 2
Design of Dynamic RAM Controller
Design a simplified and shared dynamic RAM controller circuit which has the following specifications: (Use two different coding styles)
Design a simplified synchronous dynamic RAM controller which provides to a host a bus like interface. The figure below illustrates a typical block diagram connection. The SDRAM controller generates a busy output which the host can use as handshake control. This avoids the need of fixed wait states. The SDRAM controller has the following specifications:
The inputs are a 16 bit address (ADDRIN), a read signal (RD), a write signal (WR), and an enable signal (CS) generated by a host core. The controller does not function until CS becomes 1, then a 16-bit ADDRIN is loaded in as a row address ( 15 down to 8) and a column address ( 7 down to 0) registers. Also RD and WR signals are registered and the busy signal “Ready” is sent to the Host. Subsequently, the row address is outputted at ( ADDROUT) along with the row address strobe (RAS) signal which is generated one clock cycle later. Then, the column address is outputted along with the column address strobe signal (CAS) which is generated one clock cycle later. Finally, if the operation is a read operation ( RD = 1, WR = 0), then the RE output is 1. Otherwise, for a write operation ( RD = 0, WR = 1), the RE output remains 0. If both RD and WR are 1 or 0, the controller terminates the memory access operation. Write a VDHL model for the SDRAM controller
Your submission should include
1. A technical paper report written using IEEE format (refer to attached paper for guidelines). This paper should discuss the design DRAM controllers strategies, types and relate it to the internal structure of the DRAMs.( you need to research this and summarize the technical information and compare this design to other strategies)
2. The paper should have an appendix which includes
? Source code and test bench files along with waveforms & comments added to verify the functionality of design.
? Synthesis results and the estimated maximum speed of the circuit using 3 different state assignment methods.( for each design)

This case study is adapted from a case in the textbook. You are expected to draw heavily from the textbook to answer the questions in this case.
Make sure you use headings in your assignment. Each question needs a numbered heading. All information relevant to one response must be provided before moving on to the next response.
Barton Boomer, Director of Marketing Research for a large research firm, has a Bachelor’s degree in marketing from the University of South Australia. He is a typical research analyst and often works as a consultant for businesses wanting to expand into new markets.
He is asked to interview an executive froman Australian fast-foodrestaurant chain, Eats-R-Wee. Located in New South Wales, Eats-R-Wee is expanding. The logical two choices for expansion are to other states within Australia or to the nearest geographic neighbour, New Zealand. During the initial interview, MsElisa Simmons, Vice President of Operations for Eats-R-Wee, makes several points to Barton.
• “Barton, we are all set to move across to New Zealand and begin our international expansion with our close neighbour. Can you provide research that will support this position?”
• “Barton, we are in a hurry. We can’t sit on our hands for weeks waiting to make this decision. We need a comprehensive research project completed by the end of the month.”
• “We are interested in how our competitors will react. Have you ever done research for them?”
1. For each of the statements made by MsSimmons (see the three dot points above);
a. Identify theethical issues that Barton needs to consider in his response
b. Use the concepts introduced in the course to explain these issues and why they are important.
In answering this question, you need to draw on the organisational and ethical issues introduced in chapter 5of the textbookand Week 4course material. I removed the following: “but with further support from other academic sources (i.e. peer reviewed sources), including course e-readings”
2. a. Suggest at least 3credible secondary data sources Barton can use in order to be able to describe the current state of the fast-food market in Australia. You need to providedata sources, rather than specific articles/reports.
b. Describe what data Barton can gather from each of these sources.
3. Online or at the library, search for information about recent trends (i.e., most recent 5 years, 2010-2015) in fast-food sales in Australia. Report what you found in about 400 words. Make sure you begin by describing the fast food industry in Australia (define the industry, how big it is, etc). Then identify and discuss any trends happening between 2010-2015. The focus of this question is on trends during 2010-2015.
In answering questions 2 and 3 consider material discussed as part of Topic 2 (Credible sources andliterature review) and Topic 4 (Data collection [primaryand archival] and ethical issues).
