Barrier to Democracy: Corruption in Former Soviet Eastern Europe
Get PDFOne of the difficulties that a country faces when working toward democratization
is the corruption that may run rampant in their government. This paper will analyze
corruption in government and how it affects democracy, particularly in four of
the former Soviet Union countries that are located in Eastern Europe: Moldova,
Ukraine, Belarus, and Georgia. Qualitative and quantitative analysis is provided
regarding each of the four former Soviet Union countries listed. By using the
Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) scores given by Transparency International,
the countries are compared and contrasted in order to examine how their
corruption has changed over time and how their situations and governments
have affected their level of corruption. Scores given to each of the countries by
Freedom House are also used to compare democracy. CPI and Freedom House
scores are used in conjunction to analyze the relationship between corruption
and democracy and to locate a correlation between the two. After analysis of the
democracy and levels of corruption in each country in the study and seeing the
correlation, it is clear that democracy and corruption affect each other.Ryan Salzman, Faculty mento
Use of Qualified Medical Interpreters in Health Care: Barriers for Health Care Professionals
Get PDFAccess to language services has become a fundamental component of care for
patients who are not proficient in the English language. Patients who cannot
effectively communicate in their preferred language require qualified bilingual
support to ensure they receive equal access to health care. Despite the
understood need for quality bilingual services, many health care professionals
may be reluctant to use or provide qualified medical interpreters. A review of the
literature is provided regarding barriers, which prevent or negatively influence
health care professionals’ decision to use a qualified medical interpreter, thus
disregarding policies regarding language laws. The purpose of this literature
review is to increase understanding of the benefits of interpreter utilization,
which acknowledges the rights of Limited English Proficient (LEP) patients, and
maximizes the use of collaboration among health care professionals.Judi Wheatley Godsey, PhD, MSN, RN, Faculty mento

Challenges in Analyzing K-3 Mathematics Data
No full textThe Kentucky Center for Mathematics (KCM) is a state supported entity charged with
improving effective mathematics teaching and learning, involving early childhood
through adulthood. The KCM primarily does this by facilitating professional learning
experiences (PLE) for early grade teachers across the state of Kentucky.
Early grade students are administered various math tests throughout the year (fall,
winter, and spring). Some of the tests are Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) Test,
Star Math Assessment, iReady Math Test, etc. Additionally, the KCM administers
surveys to early grade teachers who participated in the PLE’s.
The Burkardt Consulting Center (BCC) partners with KCM, applying statistical
techniques to assess the effectiveness of KCM PLE’s. PLE effectiveness can be
measured by looking at teacher satisfaction through surveys and student improvement
through test scores.
