Nursing student аttritiоn cоntinues tо аttrаct political, organizational and social interest for a number of reasons including: persistent nursing shortages, the age profile of the current nursing population, and the economic costs of attrition. While attrition in nursing students is not a new phenomenon, it is surprising that this issue has attracted such little research attention. Completed attrition research in nursing has tended to focus on explanations for attrition obtained from students who persist, rather than the experiences of students who have withdrawn from preregistration nursing courses. The emotional impact on students who decide to voluntarily leave has attracted limited attention. A qualitative study design was selected to help explain the lived experience causing voluntary attrition in nursing students within a School of Nursing. A semi-structured interview method was used to collect data from study participants. The study population was obtained through purposeful sampling and consisted of 15 students who had previously voluntarily withdrawn from nursing programs. This article describes the range of emotions which many students experienced and the process of gradual disengagement which may precede student decisions to formally withdraw.Questions:Number your answers and keep your answers short and straight to the point.What qualitative research approach was utilized?What would one look for to make sure that the sample size was adequate?Formulate a qualitative research question in this study?
Prоblem 1 [15 pоints] Cоnsider two discrete-time LTI systems with input-output relаtionships $$S_1: y_1[n] = x[n - 2] quаd text{аnd} quad S_2: y_2[n] = sum_{k = -infty}^{n} x[k]$$We place them in cascade to form a composite system:$$x[n] rightarrow boxed{S_1} rightarrow boxed{S_2} rightarrow y[n]$$We input a periodic signal (x[n]) to this cascade, which has Fourier series coefficients ({a_k}). Letting ({b_k}) be the Fourier series coefficients for the output (y[n]), give an expression for (b_k) in terms of (a_k). (You do not need to consider (k = 0).) Problem 2 [15 points] An LTI system has a frequency response$$H(jomega) = frac{3 + jomega}{jw(2 + jomega)}.$$If the output of the system is$$y(t) = e^{-2t}u(t),$$determine the input (x(t)) being applied to the system. Problem 3 [35 points] Consider a periodic signal $$x(t) = 2 + sinleft(frac{2omega_0t}{3}+frac{pi}{2}right) + e^{jleft(omega_0t+frac{pi}{4}right)}$$ (a) [15 pts] Determine the period. And hence find the Fourier Series coefficients ({a_k}) of (x(t)). (Hint: Use Euler's equations) (b) [10 pts] Determine the Fourier Transform of (x(t)). (c) [10 pts] Use Parseval's relation (of CTFS) to determine the overall average power (P_{infty}) of (x(t)). Problem 4 [35 points] Consider an LTI system. Given an input signal,$$x(t) = frac{sin(pi t)}{pi t},$$the corresponding output signal is,$$y(t) = left(frac{sin(3t)}{pi t}right)^2$$ (a) [15 pts] Determine and plot the spectrum of both (X(jomega)) and (Y(jomega)). Make sure you mark all the key points (both frequency and amplitude). (b) [15 pts] If (x_1(t) = cos(pi t) + sin(2 pi t)) is fed to the same system, determine the corresponding output signal (y_1(t))? (c) [5 pts] If we think of this system as a low-pass filter, what is the cut-off frequency? Congratulations, you are almost done with Midterm Exam 2.
