Lemons and Limes

Incidentally, I saw a post on the benefits of lemons and limes by WebMD just a few minutes ago. I posted about lemons just a few hours ago. The diagram/chart in the post from WebMD showed some interesting benefits of both limes and lemons. I was surprised by some of them. I did not expect to see benefits such as keep gums healthy, boost your brain, and help your baby grow. 

The diagram seemed to show that the benefits of limes are exactly the same as the benefits of lemons - I was very surprised by this. I expected only some of the benefits to apply to both limes and lemons, i.e. to be shared or in common between the two. For example, I expected both limes and lemons to have benefits such as full of antioxidants, but limes to have benefits lemons don't have and vice versa. 

My critique of the post is that the diagram should clearly show that all the benefits apply to both lemons and limes. The lines in the diagram may confuse some into thinking that five of the benefits are for lemons while the other six are for limes.

Paper in ResearchGate

 I added my paper on technology solutions for hand hygiene compliance as a preprint in ResearchGate. The paper was based on a signature assignment I prepared at Northcentral University (w.taskstream.com/ts/moore783/SignatureAssignmentProposalMonitoring.html/acf5e6eq00akfcfkf7e8edfefl).

View the preprint here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/378547801_Are_Technology_Solutions_For_Hand_Hygiene_Compliance_A_Better_Option_For_Improving_Compliance_Rates. I made a lot of changes to the signature assignment paper. It is significant for a discussion on the economics of IT.

Perseverance; Bible Verse; Paper on Motivation

 Did you know that the Holy Bible supports/calls for perseverance? The website https://www.biblestudytools.com/topical-verses/perseverance-bible-verses/ provides ten verses on perseverance. My favorite is: 

James 1:12: Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

The verse just motivates!

This reminds me of one of my papers that discussed motivation. In the paper, I mentioned different types of motivation such as the motivation to go on a cruise and the motivation to use a new application such as a game app. It took a while to research and write. I reviewed lots and lots of journal articles to select five that complement each other and tell a story. The paper started with an analysis of five journal articles -using the format of a paper for my Qualitative Research class at Northcentral University (ncu.edu). I revised the paper several times and ended up with a version I was very proud of.  I blogged about submitting an early version of the paper in this post: fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2023/01/another-paper-submitted.html.

Phone Issue

My phone stopped working late yesterday. There was a popup message displayed on the screen that prevented me from doing anything else on the phone (everything seemed normal in the background). I was unable to enter my passcode to access the phone, answer calls or read text messages because of the popup message that I just could not clear or remove. I tried to shut down the phone thinking that it would restart normally but I was also unable to restart or power off the phone.
So what did I do?
I let the phone rest for a while hoping it would correct itself. That did not work.
Then I tried to get help from the online community. From my first Google search, I ended up reading about similar issues users reported in the Apple support community. I did not find the exact issue. So, I then tried to enter my issue for assistance. However, the community requires login using your Apple ID to enter an issue. There is two-factor authentication that involves entering the code from a text message. I received the text message but could not open it on my phone so I did not receive/have the code to complete the two-factor authentication. I was a little frustrated but decided to try another Google search. I entered a more descriptive explanation of the problem including the exact text of the popup message for the second search. This time, I found users with my exact issue in the Apple community. I tried one of the posted answers on how to force a restart. It actually worked! Issue resolved. I am so happy. I thought I needed a new phone.

 

 

 

 

 

Job Search System

Months ago, I prepared a proposal for a job search system. The proposal includes requirements - both requirements statements and use cases - for a new system to assist job seekers to keep track of job applications. It was a project for a course offered by Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/learn/analysis-for-business-systems).

Here it is:

The project reminds me of the proposal (deliverable) for the Structured Systems Analysis and Design course at UMBC. I led the preparation of that proposal.
