Excel_9E_Operations

Excel_9E_Operations

  

Project Description:

In the following project, you will assist Bill Roman, Project Director, in creating a macro that will assign an operations department heading required on all reports. You will modify the macro by changing the Visual Basic Code. 

     

Navigate to your Excel Chapter 9   folder, and then double-click the Excel file you downloaded from MyLab IT   that displays your name—Student_Excel_9E_Operations.xlsx.   Verify that the Developer tab is enabled and the Macro Settings are set to   Disable all macros with notification. Display the Save As dialog box,   navigate to your Excel Chapter 9 folder, set the Save as type to Excel   Macro-Enabled Workbook, and then save your file.

 

With cell A1 active, record a   macro with the name Operations_Header and the shortcut key Ctrl + m. (Mac users, use   Option + Command + m.) Store the macro in This Workbook. As the description,   type Fills   in Operations report heading and then click OK to begin recording the macro.

 

Insert two blank rows at the top   of the worksheet, and then click cell A1. Type WPHRC Operations Department and then Merge & Center the   text you typed across the range A1:E1. Apply the Title cell style. In cell   A2, type Quarterly Report and then Merge & Center the text you typed   across the range A2:E2. Apply the Heading 1 cell style. Center the worksheet   Horizontally, click cell A1, and then stop recording the macro.

 

Delete rows 1:2, click cell A1,   and then test the macro.

 

On the Developer tab, in the   Code group, click Macros. Verify that the Operations_Header macro is   selected, and then click Edit. Scroll down and locate the first instance of End With, and then in the fourth line   following End With, edit Quarterly Report to indicate Quarterly   Operations Report.

 

Click File, and then click Close   and Return to Microsoft Excel. Delete rows 1:2, click cell A1, and then use   the keyboard shortcut to run the macro to test that Quarterly Operations Report displays as the subtitle of the   report.

 

Insert a footer with the file   name in the left section, and then display the worksheet in Print Preview to   verify that the worksheet is centered horizontally. Display the file   properties. As the Tags, type operations department report and as the Subject, type your   course name and section number. Under Related People, be sure that your name   displays as Author. Save your workbook.

 

On the Developer tab, in the   Code group, click Macros. Select your Operations_Header macro, and then click   Edit. Select and Copy all of the code. Close and Return to Microsoft Excel.   In the sheet tab area, click New sheet to insert a new worksheet. Rename the   inserted sheet Macro Code and then with cell A1 active, Paste the code to the   new worksheet. AutoFit column A.

 

Click the File tab, and then   click Save As. Navigate to your Excel Chapter 9 folder, and then click the   Save as type arrow. Click Excel workbook. In the File name box, type Student_Excel_9E_Operations_VBA and then click Save. In the   displayed message box, click Yes. Close your file and submit your   Student_Excel_9E_Operations_VBA file as directed.

 We learn from our readings that the use of mobile devices in our society today has indeed become ubiquitous.  In addition, CTIA asserted that over 326 million mobile devices were in use within The United States as of December 2012 – an estimated growth of more than 100 percent penetration rate with users carrying more than one device with notable continues growth.  From this research, it’s evident that mobile computing has vastly accelerated in popularity over the last decade due to several factors noted by the authors in our chapter reading. In consideration with this revelation, identify and name these factors, and provide a brief discussion about them.

SLR paper

  

Course Paper

A systematic Literature review paper on analyzing and visualizing data

Guidelines

· There are two main goals to conduct this SLR paper in this course:

o Help you toward your PhD thesis. My experience advising many phd students in different universities is that one of the “easiest” approaches to reach the “difficult” task of finding your research subject in your phd is to start by conducting an SLR in your general subject. It can help you as an output of this work to know what are some of the hot topics or trending research subjects in your area of interest. 

o As a phd student or soon to be graduate, publications are key factors in evaluating your profile. A good SLR paper in this course can be publishable whether in a conference or a journal whether directly or through extending the work after the end of the course

· The overall grade for this course paper is 25 or 25% of the overall course grade.

· The paper to be submitted no later than June 10th, a firm-deadline.

· We will follow APA guidelines (Please read relevant material about that)

· It is important to write in your own words. Paper will be evaluated using University integrity checking services.

· Systematic Literature Review has a structured approach that you have to follow. You can find online many references on how to conduct SLR. Below is a table as an example describing SLR steps (https://lib.guides.umd.edu/SR/steps). As an alternative to the 8 steps described below, minimum steps in SLR can be 5 (see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC539417/). You will be graded based on following one of those two SLR templates in completing each step properly.

· You may have issue reaching or accessing some papers. Use University library or any available resources, to the best of your abilities.

· You can always submit progress documents for me to discuss and evaluate (i.e. before your final submission throughout the semester).

· In terms of the subjects to pick from, I will create a discussion board for that in which students should not pick repeated subjects and so you can reserve your subject earlier through the discussion board.

· Verify with me through an email before finalizing your paper subject

· Remember, instead of selecting a paper subject, you can start from framing a question to review or even from few selected keywords.

  

Tools

Steps

 

PICO template

1. Identify   your research question. Formulate   a clear, well-defined research question of appropriate scope. Define your   terminology. Find existing reviews on your topic to inform the development of   your research question, identify gaps, and confirm that you are not   duplicating the efforts of previous reviews. Consider using a framework   like PICO or SPIDER to define you question scope.   Use Database Search Log Excel spreadsheet to record search terms under each   concept. 

Optional: It   is a good idea to register your protocol in a publicly accessible way. This   will help avoid other people completing a review on your topic.   Similarly, before you start doing a systematic review, it’s worth checking   the different registries that nobody else has already registered a   protocol on the same topic.

  • Cochrane Collaboration – Systematic reviews of health care and        clinical interventions
  • Campbell Collaboration – Systematic reviews of the effects of social        interventions
  • F1000 Research – The protocol is published immediately and        subjected to open peer review. When two reviewers approve it, the paper        is sent to Medline, Embase and other databases for indexing.
  • Joanna Briggs Institute – Systematic reviews of healthcare practices to        assist in the improvement of healthcare outcomes globally
  • Open Science Framework (OSF) Registries – Registry of a protocol on OSF creates a        frozen, time-stamped record of the protocol, thus ensuring a level of        transparency and accountability for the research. There are no limits to        the types of protocols that can be hosted on OSF.
  • *** PROSPERO – International prospective register of        systematic reviews. This is the primary database for registering systematic review protocols and        searching for published protocols. Scoping reviews are not accepted.        PROSPERO accepts protocols from all disciplines (e.g., psychology,        nutrition) with the stipulation that they must include health-related        outcomes.
  • Research Registry – Similar to PROSPERO. Based in the UK,        fee-based service, quick turnaround time.
  • Zenodo –        Share your search strategy and research protocol. No limit on the        format, size, access restrictions or license.

Example outlining the details and documentation necessary for   conducting a systematic review:

Hersi, M., Traversy,   G., Thombs, B. D., Beck, A., Skidmore, B., Groulx, S., … Stevens, A. (2019).   Effectiveness of stop smoking interventions among adults: protocol for an   overview of systematic reviews and an updated systematic review. Systematic   Reviews, 8(1), 28. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13643-018-0928-

 

Inclusion/exclusion criteria template 

2. Define   inclusion and exclusion criteria. Clearly state the criteria you will use to determine   whether or not a study will be included in your search. Consider study populations,   study design, intervention types, comparison groups, measured outcomes. Use   some database-supplied limits such as language, dates, humans, female/male,   age groups, and publication/study types (randomized controlled trials, etc.).

 

Database search log template

3. Search for   studies. Run your searches in   the databases that you’ve identified as relevant to your topic. Work with a librarian to help you design comprehensive   search strategies across a variety of databases. Approach the grey literature   methodically and purposefully. Collect ALL of the retrieved records from each   search into a reference manager, such as Endnote, Zotero or Mendeley, and de-duplicate the library prior to screening.

 

Rayyan – export your Endnote results in this screening software

4. Select   studies for inclusion based on pre-defined criteria. Start with a title/abstract screening to remove studies that   are clearly not related to your topic. Use your inclusion/exclusion criteria to screen the full-text of studies. It   is highly recommended that two independent reviewers screen all studies,   resolving areas of disagreement by consensus.

 

Review matrix template

5. Extract   data from included studies. Use a spreadsheet, or systematic review software (e.g. Rayyan, RevMan), to extract all relevant data from each   included study. It is recommended that you pilot your data extraction tool,   to determine if other fields should be included or existing fields clarified.

 

Cochrane Risk of   Bias Tool

6. Evaluate   the risk of bias of included studies. Use a Risk of Bias tool (such as the Cochrane RoB Tool) to assess the potential biases of studies   in regards to study design and other factors. Read the Cochrane training materials to learn about the topic of assessing   risk of bias in included studies. You can adapt existing tools (PDF p.5) to best meet the needs of your review,   depending on the types of studies included.

7. Present   results and assess the quality of evidence. Clearly present your findings, including   detailed methodology (such as search strategies used, selection criteria,   etc.) such that your review can be easily updated in the future with new   research findings. Perform a meta-analysis, if the studies allow. Provide   recommendations for practice and policy-making if sufficient, high quality   evidence exists, or future directions for research to fill existing gaps in   knowledge or to strengthen the body of evidence.
