Methodology
Dall’Ora et al. (2015) and Stimpfel et al. (2012) both used qualitative methods with large sample sizes; 31,627 (Dall’Ora et al., 2015) and 22,275 (Stimpfel et al., 2012)
Both studies (Dall’Ora et al., 2015; Stimpfel et al., 2012) found a strong association between longer shifts and job dissatisfaction and the negative effects on patient satisfaction.
Both studies (Dall’Ora et al., 2015; Stimpfel et al., 2012) suggest policy makers to use the findings to reconsider their current approach of increasing hours due to nurse shortage

Assessment
Part One: Comparative Analysis
1. Compare and Contrast
a. Methodology
It is important to note that Boylan and Hull (2022) utilized qualitative research design to
gain more in-depth insight into how fraudulent activities manifest in accounting. However, both
T&R Staff (2022) and Associated Press (2022) are secondary sources that rely on the utilization
of primary data to make their conclusions. Therefore, the methodological comparison is greatly
different between these sources, but T&R Staff (2022) and Associated Press (2022) are similar to
each other.
b. Findings
Both T&R Staff (2022) and Associated Press (2022) find that there is a substantial risk
behind cryptocurrencies due to the potential of fraudulence and volatility if left unregulated.
However, all three sources (Boylan & Hull, 2022; T&R Staff, 2022; Associated Press, 2022)
recognize the great opportunity offered by block chain technology, which is increased
accountability.
c. Recommendations
The study (Boylan & Hull, 2022) suggests using block chain technology to improve
accountability and recommends its use to combat fraudulent activities. However, both T&R Staff
(2022) and Associated Press (2022) acknowledge that there are risks associated with the current
state of cryptocurrencies, which is why they suggest adopting the technology but not the existing
forms of electronic money.
Part Two: Review
2
Fraud and Block Chain
Fraudulence is a core problem in accounting and finance overall, which has ethical,
economic, and legal implications. Boylan and Hull (2022) assert that prevention of fraud is
impossible to prove, and fraudulent activities can be reduced through the use of automatic
identification system (AIS) systems. In contrast, T&R Staff (2022) claims that the wild volatility
of cryptocurrencies makes them unappealing as a solution to the issue. Similarly, such currencies
carry their own host of fraudulence, such as pyramid schemes (Associated Press, 2022). In other
words, electronic solutions are possible, but the existing ones are problematic.
Accountability Through Block Chain
It should be noted that fraudulence in finance is best combatted through transparency,
accountability, and openness. Recent developments in money and payment methods, such as
instant payment systems and stable coins, are two examples of innovations that have the
potential to have far-reaching implications. It is reported that there are five technological systems
that can help in the improvement of the accounting role (Boylan and Hull, 2022). According to
Boylan and Hull (2022), the use of block chain can improve accountability, which leads to a
reduction in the rate of fraudulent activities. Similarly, cryptocurrencies can help ordinary
citizens to fight inflation, but with a surge in demand, new forms of fraudulence take place as a
result. However, on the contrary, some experts suggest that “the wild volatility in
cryptocurrencies’ value has made it easy for many corporate treasurers to ignore the opportunity
hidden behind the substantial risk” (T&R Staff, 2022, para. 2). In other words, one should not
dismiss cryptocurrencies entirely, because they bring a higher level of accountability despite
their flaws.
Block Chain is the Answer
3
By reviewing the literature, it is evident that the answer to fraudulence and other major
accounting issues is block chain technology, not cryptocurrencies. The study (Boylan & Hull,
2022) suggests using block chain technology to improve accountability and recommends its use
to combat fraudulent activities. On the contrary, both T&R Staff (2022) and Associated Press
(2022) acknowledge that there are risks associated with the current state of cryptocurrencies,
which is why they suggest adopting the technology but not the existing forms of electronic
money.

EFFECTS OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY ON STUDENTS 2
Literature Review
Research suggests that digital technology has an effect on users, especially students (Gano, L. R.
2011; Hua Pang 2018, as cited in Chen, L., Nath, R., & Insley, R. 2014). Due to the negative
effect of digital technology on students affecting their achievements, it is essential to manage the
classroom environment. The literature review includes research articles and literature that
contain information on the effect of digital technology on users, especially students. Factors such
as In-class digital distraction, WeChat intensity, and fitting technology into the pedagogy were
reviewed. The databases that were utilized in the research included EBSCO and ProQuest from
Monroe College Library. Search terms were utilized to obtain relevant literature, such as digital
technology, social media effects on students, students’ distraction, and class management, among
others.
Review of Literature
In class, Digital Distraction
Chen, L., Nath, R., & Insley, R. (2014) performed a study in various universities in Africa,
China, and the United States in 2012 and 2013 by using mixed methodology with the aim of
showing an in-class digital distraction and identifying factors that influence students’ in-class
digital distraction from a cross-cultural perspective (Chen, et., al, 2014). The researchers found
that the digital distraction of students is addiction level.
The same observation was shown by a study conducted by Gano, L. R. (2011) at university of
east in 2011 with the aim of comparing the academic achievement and efforts of the students.
The researcher applied mixed methodology, and data was collected in teaching college Algebra
to twenty-one students of the university of east (Gano, 2011). Researchers found that there are
possible effects on students’ academic achievement.
EFFECTS OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY ON STUDENTS 3
WeChat Intensity
As opposed to previous studies, Hua Pang (2018) conducted the research with the aim of
exploring the intensity use of WeChat. The data was collected in 2018 from 212 Chinese
international students in Germany. The data was collected using a qualitative methodology (Hua
Pang, 2018). The findings of this research are that the Use of WeChat is positively related to life
satisfaction and negatively related to loneliness and relationship among WeChat users.
Analysis of Literature
The negative effect of digital technology includes addiction to students, the distraction of
students from the main lesson, and affecting their academic achievements. Therefore, Chen, L.,
Nath, R., & Insley, R. 2014; Gano, L. R. 2011 recommend effectively integrating technology in
the classroom and practicing classroom management as the starting point for avoiding distracting
the students with Information technology devices incorporated in the class. Those observations
indicate and target those actions that ought to be taken in the future to prevent the digital
distraction of students in class. Chen, L., Nath, R., & Insley, R. 2014 recommend that there ought
to be a multi-faceted approach in order to reduce digital distraction to students, therefore, making
information technology a valuable education tool.
