Common Cause of House Fires and Prevention Methods

It is estimated that about 358,500 cases of house fires happen every year in the United States alone. Consequently, more than 2,500 deaths, 12,000 fire-related injuries, and $6.7 billion direct damage has been caused by these accidents (Ahrens). However, despite the knowledge of the grave dangers posed by house fires, it is surprising that many cases still happen every year even with the increasing use of anti-fire systems and other equipment against it. In order to further reduce this number, it is a necessity to focus on prevention rather than action, once it happens. However, I believe that even before learning about the preventive techniques on fire prevention, a deeper understanding of the cause and effect of fires is necessary.
In the reports released by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recently, the major causes of house fires (and related injuries) in almost every state are cooking equipment, heating equipment, and smoking (Ahrens).

Particularly, cooking appliances that are left open and faulty heating appliances have cause most of the major fires that have been recorded in the past few years. For example, faulty heating appliances are said to cause house fires when their fail-safe systems are not working. These heating appliances should have a thermostat that prevents them from operating once they reach a certain temperature. However, as these internal thermostats fail to work, the heater, as well as flammable materials around it, could then melt causing fires.

Cooperative Learning Groups Research Design Exercise This exercise is designed to help you choose a research design for your proposal. Use your cooperative learning group to help you settle on a final design. I don’t expect anyone to be able to answer all of these questions right now. However, finding the answers to these questions will help guide your final proposal. Instructions Take 15–20 minutes and answer as many of the questions that follow as possible. You have answered some of these questions in the past; others will be new for you. Remember, it is okay for your research questions or design to change as you learn more about the feasibility of your evaluation. Questions you don’t feel comfortable with or are unsure about, leave blank and ask your cooperative learning group for help. 1. What is your research question? What are the major effective measures to support mental health program? 2. What is the outcome you are studying or what are the variables you are studying if it is not an outcome study?Better effectiveness in implementing mental health care program for individuals in the community. 3. Is this a qualitative or quantitative study? Does it have elements of both? Explain.This will be a Quantitative data in order to help one see the big picture of my research. 4. Is it a formative or summative evaluation? Explain. It will be a summative for me to be able to analyze my achievement in the end of my research. 5. What is the design of your study? What are the strengths of this design? What are the limitations? A case study design 6. From whom will you collect data? Staff members /co-workers 7. Will you use a sample? If so what is your sampling strategy? 8. What method will you use to collect the data (survey, interviews, administrative or secondary data, etc.)? Convenience 9. Are there any ethical or IRB issues with your study? After completing as many of these questions as possible, meet with your cooperative learning group. Each member of the group will present your research question(s) and summarize his or her design. Then, the presenting group member should share questions with which they are struggling. As a group, discuss next steps for the presenting member’s final research or evaluation proposal. We will discuss requirements for the final research proposal during next week’s session. In addition, provide the following feedback to each presenter: 1. If he or she has presented a design, identify one threat to the internal validity of the study (Remember, this does not mean you have to change your design, you just have to be aware of this limitation. All studies have limitations.). 2. Provide one suggestion for how you think the study can be improved or made more feasible.

Based on the reliance on conspiracy statutes to connect leaders of organized crime with activities carried out by their subordinates, the use of confidential informants is often critical to the investigation and prosecution of organized criminal activities; however, the relationship between informants and law enforcement can become quite complicated. Whitey Bulger, the leader of the Winter Hill Gang, was actually a confidential informant for the FBI. FBI agent John Connolly was convicted of second-degree murder and racketeering due to his relationship with Bulger. Using the Bulger case as an example, discuss, as a team, the pros and cons of the use of confidential informants in the investigation and prosecution of organized crime. Address the following in your discussion: The motivations of the informant The need to protect the informant The need to control the informant Any other benefits or problems connected with the use of confidential informants Compile the team discussion into a TABLE that identifies the pros and cons of the use of confidential informants.

1. Provide an assessment of what makes Congoleum a good LBO target. 2. Evaluate the LBO proposal and determine the value of the firm if it undertakes the LBO and compare this to the existing value of the firm. Your valuation analysis (based on the assumptions above) should be the bulk of your report and serve to answer this question. Provide sensitivity analyses. 3. Quantify the incremental effects of the LBO (as compared to no LBO) on Congoleum as a whole, and attribute portions of the sizable purchase premium to: the cost savings in corporate expenses, the step-up of asset values for depreciation, and the interest tax shields. In addition, if any of the value added from the LBO is unexplained by these three factors, explain where you think this additional value may be coming from. 4. Quantify the gains/losses to the various parties involved in this deal, and render an opinion as to the appropriateness of the $38 offer price received by old shareholders.

In other words, how will answering this research question help you get your peers to join you? What common knowledge, values, or ideological frameworks will it help you establish with your peers? * * Research Plan (aim for roughly 300 words): This section will explain your plan for answering your research question. * Identify what you don’t know yet. Answer these questions: What are the gaps in your knowledge, and how will you fill those gaps? Which of the following will you do to fill those gaps: more library research, experimentation, participatory observation at a synchronous UCSD source, or some other research activities? * Propose a detailed timeline for yourself for the last five weeks of the quarter so that you can complete the research project by its due date. What will you complete, and by when? You must note in this timeline what synchronous UCSD source you are planning to attend before the week 8 deadline to submit your annotated bibliographic entry for this specific source. * * * Annotated Bibliography (aim for roughly 500 words): For the last section of your proposal, include two annotated bibliographic entries (about 250 words per source), in APA format, to show the research you have done thus far. One entry should be for any DOC course text (assigned or suggested from any quarter) that helps you answer your research question. The remaining entry should be for an outside source you have found through library database searches. Remember to consult our library guide on how to structure annotated bibliographic entries (https://ucsd(dot)libguides(dot)com/DOC3/annotatedbib). Each annotation should include a critical summary of the source’s argument (in your own words), an evaluation of the usefulness of the source in helping you answer your research question, and a description of how you plan to utilize the source in your final research project. * NOTE ON SOURCE USE IN THE PROPOSAL: You may reference sources in your project proposal that are not included in your annotated bibliography as long as you fully utilize APA citation requirements and list the sources on a separate References page at the end of your proposal.
