I have read and reread the materials and I am still at a loss for how to approach the subject because I have this problem with having to say what I really think. To the best of my knowledge NASA/Space Science is the only one of these programs that really led to the popularization of science but NASA’s hay-day passed a long time ago, crashing with the Challenger and Columbia disasters.

I would say for most of my life there has been a culture of anything “big” (banks, government, business, pharma, religion) is automatically suspicious and labeled with words like corrupt, wasteful, and inefficient. Publicly funded comes with lots of challenges and tension, especially when so many are having are hard time just getting by. Science brings as much fear as it does potential and progress. The Manhattan project brought us the possibility of self-annihilation. In spite of all the good possible through the human genome project, it had caused fears about genetic discrimination, cloning, designer babies, privacy issues, etc. What little hope I remember about the super collider ended with the loss of funding for the project in America.

The rock star astronaut iconography of the past has been replaced with the science nerd. A normal part of human development in young people is to want to be accepted by their peers, being a nerd and getting acceptance from peers just doesn’t go together. This sets a bad stage for the future of the popularity of science. So, for there to be a (re)-popularization of science, we are going to have to overcome the challenges of fear, economics and negative stereotypes.

It has not been talked about much in here but there are large swaths of Americans who have basically rejected science. There are the creationists, climate change deniers, anti-vaxers, the organic food movement, environmentalist that want to get back to a more natural state and an endless amount of religious conflicts for one reason or another. Maybe if I lived in silicon-valley, I might see things differently but from my perspective science has a long row to hoe to get to popularity in the general population.

My topic is Anxiety of Asian student in US.

Culture and Mental Health Outline: Students will complete a culture and mental health research project for the course. This project will involve choosing a mental health condition that has a culturally specific manifestation (idiom of distress or culture bound syndrome) or a mental health condition (broadly defined) that develops from, or is shaped by, a social/cultural/behavioral process. Students will complete a detailed outline of their paper and complete a final paper on their chosen topic. The outline and paper will reflect a detailed review of the literature focused on the mental health problem, a review of culturally-specific aspects of the problem, and potential (culturally appropriate) methods of addressing the problem. Example titles of projects are ‘Globalization and farmer suicides among rural Kenyan men, ‘The legacy of colonialism on substance abuse in the Caribbean’, or ‘Suicide among Information Technology workers in Bangalore, India’.The Outline should be 4-5 pages in length, single spaced, and contain a references list with at least 5 relevant articles or books to be discussed in the presentation and final paper.

Please use the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) citation style. A guide for JAMA style is uploaded.

When you review various curricular plans, you may see a variety of terms. Some programs use the term “program outcomes” while others use the term “terminal objectives” for those actions that the student is expected to accomplish upon graduation. The same is true for individual courses. Some programs call the knowledge and skills that a student should master by the end of the course “course outcomes” while others use the term “course objectives.” All of the terms have a specified definition in literature and according to accreditation agencies. What are the similarities and differences between the terms according to the literature and to accrediting agencies? Select a program or course   and critique their use of these terms. Do they use them in a manner consistent with the literature and/or accreditation agencies or do they use them differently? Include your review of the program in your response to this discussion question. Support your response with literature. Your critique could be at the program level or at the course level. You do not need to do both levels.

Your organs are composed of the four tissue types; epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues. Organs are wondrous things, each one with a different function vital to the homeostasis of your body. While it is easy for us to view a particular organ as a single item, it is in fact comprised of many different types of cells and structures, each one unique and yet each one working together to perform the functions of the organ.

In this Assignment, you will research an individual organ and its complexity. Your APA-formatted essay should include:

A general description of your assigned organ in the introduction. In the general description, you will include the following: a brief description of the primary functions of this organ, its general shape, and the location of this organ in the human body.

Describe in detail the importance of this organ to the function of the body as a whole. What are the functions of this organ and how is it critical for survival?

Identify and describe which of the four tissue types (epithelial, connective, muscle, and/or nervous tissues) are present in the organ.

Describe any organ-specific cell types that are present and if these cell types have any special structures (e.g., presence of microvilli and/or abundance of particular organelle such as mitochondria).

Discuss in detail how these different cell-types work together to provide the overall function of the organ.

Include a discussion of why each organ requires the different tissue types as well as unique cell types to function. Why can the organs not be comprised of just one cell type? What is the advantage of having so many different types of cells?

First Letter of Last Name	Organ
I-M	Kidney

Basic Writing Requirements:

Related to relative and relative cumulative frequencies: 

In statistics, sometimes few numbers in the given data are repetitive a couple of times. This repetition of a particular number is called its frequency. The frequency of an item represents how many times that item appears in the data. On the other hand, relative frequency of a number is its frequency as compared to the total frequencies of all the numbers. Relative frequency is evaluated by dividing the individual frequency of an item by total number of frequencies. The formula for the relative frequency is given below

Where,

f = Frequency of an individual item
n = Total frequencies.

Cumulative relative frequency is a statistical calculation figured by adding together previously tabulated relative frequencies that makes a running total along a frequency table. For instance, the first relative frequency of an occurrence is two out of 20 and the second relative frequency is five out of 20. The two frequencies are added together to make seven of 20, or 0.35 for a cumulative relative frequency.

Discussion Question 2

TJ is a fifty-five-year-old police officer who presents to the clinic with complaints of epigastric pain for two weeks. He has been taking over-the-counter (OTC) Zantac without relief. He was diagnosed about a year ago with a bleeding ulcer, and he expresses concerns that the current symptoms remind him of that event. At that time, he was given “multiple prescriptions” for his stomach, but he did not complete the course of therapy because he began to feel better. He also has osteoarthritis in his wrists and hips, for which he takes OTC NSAIDs. He smokes one to two packs per week and drinks an average of one alcoholic beverage daily. His vital signs and blood work are all within normal limits. Answer the following questions:

• What additional testing would you suggest at this point?
• Describe any and all variables that could be contributing to his symptoms.
• What alterations would you suggest in his treatment? Be sure to consider additional diagnoses and whether prophylaxis would be appropriate for NSAID-induced ulcers.

Please use on peer-view article no later than 3 years old, and current evidence-based clinical guidelines for treatment and diagnosis testing needed. APA format, please

Debbie Vestica decided to look for a new job on a day that should have been filled with joy. She had just completed a master’s degree in nursing and had been given a substantial increase in pay, along with new benefits. Other factors, however, greatly diminished the reward she had just received.

Debbie began working as a nurse in a local pediatric physician’s medical group. Three doctors and three nurses made up the medical staff. Two of the nurses completed training at the licensed practical nurse (LPN) level, while Debbie held the rank of registered nurse (RN). Due to this difference in educational attainment, Debbie was expected to supervise the other two nurses. The problem she faced was that the two nurses often treated her more as a peer, or even as a subordinate, rather than as a supervisor.

To complicate matters, the two LPNs had been on staff for four and five years, respectively, while Debbie had only been employed by the organization for two years. Still, when hired, she was told to assume a supervisory role. At first, Debbie chose not to confront the two more experienced nurses, hoping that over time she would be able to manage them more effectively by not trying to use forceful or directive tactics.

One year later, Debbie discovered that although her pay was slightly above average for RNs in the area, her pay differential with the LPNs was only $3 per hour. She earned $30 per hour ($60,000 per year), whereas the LPNs earned $27 per hour ($54,000 per year). Their pay ranked them above nearly all LPNs in the state. Given the additional duties she was expected to complete, Debbie found the pay differential to be unsatisfactory.

After two years on the job, Debbie began a master’s program designed to achieve the designation of clinical nurse specialist with an emphasis in children’s health. She devoted considerable time and money to obtaining the degree, although the physician’s group did contribute 50% of her tuition and book costs.

On graduation day, Debbie met with the three physicians. They all generously praised her efforts and promised her a new status level that included having her own office in the complex. They also granted her a raise of $7 per hour, raising her annual salary to $74,000, in return for additional duties and responsibilities.

The turning point occurred when Debbie overheard the two LPNs talking in the office break room. Upon finding out about Debbie’s new pay raise and status, the LPNs confronted the three physicians, demanding an additional increase in pay as well. Sensing a major confrontation, the physicians had decided to raise the pay of the two by $5 per hour, to $32 per hour or $64,000 per year. That amount was higher than what Debbie had earned as an RN and as an RN attending graduate school. Believing that she would never receive the proper pay differential that she deserved in this practice, Debbie decided it was time to seek employment elsewhere.

1. Use Herzberg’s two-factor theory to explain Debbie’s level of motivation.
2. Use Adams’s equity theory to explain Debbie’s decision to look for work elsewhere.
3. Use Vroom’s expectancy theory to explain this situation.
4. If you were advising the three physicians in the organization, what would you tell them they should have done when confronted by the two LPNs? Defend your advice.

Identify specific numbers of ATP generated and used in the different parts of the cycle, in conjunction with your response from part B1. Can you point out where I’m going wrong in this question??

The process will use two molecules of ATP in the following processes:

Phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate uses one molecule of ATP.

Phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate uses one molecule of ATP.

Because the process will only stop at the glycolytic pathway, the following amount of ATPs will be made at the energy payoff phase of glycolysis:

Two molecules of NADH are produced in the reaction involving oxidation of glyceraldehyde phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. The two molecules of NADH will enter the electron transfer chain reaction to produce six ATP.

Two molecules of ATP is produced in the substrate level phosphorylation reaction in which 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate converts to 3-phosphoglycerate.

Two molecules of ATP are produced in the dephosphorylation reaction of both PEP molecules to two pyruvates.

This reaction will produce ten ATP molecules.

For this Discussion, you will first consider sampling strategies. Then, you will turn your attention to data collection methods, including their strengths, limitations, and ethical implications. Last, you will consider measurement reliability and validity in the context of your discipline. Post a restatement of your assigned position on sampling strategies. Defend your position with examples and support from the scholarly literature. Next, select a data collection method and briefly explain its strengths and limitations. Then, identify a potential ethical issue with this method and describe a strategy to address it. Last, explain the relationship between measurement reliability and measurement validity using an example from your discipline.Specific methods of data collection (e.g., surveys, interviews, observations) produce specific types of data that will answer particular research questions, but not others; so here too, as covered in previous weeks, the research questions inform how the data will be obtained. Furthermore, the method used to collect the data may impact the reliability and the validity of that data.

Position A: Probability sampling represents the best strategy for selecting research participants.

Independence of Developing Nations after a Critical Incident

Without question, there are periods of tough economic times in the United States. For many Americans, this begs the question of whether the U.S. should be in the practice of providing disaster relief to other nations in the first place. If the U.S. makes a policy decision to provide aid to other nations, are there any expectations about what those nations should do in return? Should the U.S. only support disaster relief in developing nations? If so, are there any political implications? Should the U.S. only provide aid to democratic nations, or does this go beyond the altruistic intent of providing relief efforts?

For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider whether disaster relief efforts influence the independence of developing nations. Also think about whether nations should prioritize their aid.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a brief explanation of whether government or NGOs disaster relief efforts influence the independent functioning of developing nations and why. Then, explain whether you think nations should prioritize their aid to other nations based on the economic status of the receiving nation. Justify your position with references to the Learning Resources and current literature.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Introduction

In the USA federal grants are given to people in the form of economic aids so as to support the public. These grants given as financial aids are not to be paid back at a later date provided that they meet all required obligations. The funding formula for the federal grants includes population-based or risk-based formula. In New York, the best grant funding formula in homeland security is the population based.

Population-Based Funding Formula (PBFF)

As the director of homeland security office in New York, I suggest that the Population-Based Funding Formula (PBFF) is the best and most efficient funding formal in the state. Population-Based Funding Formula (PBFF) is a funding formula that considers every individual in a District Health Board (DHB) regardless of age, social status, ethnicity, and gender (Velde, Scholefield, & Plante, 2013, pg 188). Therefore this formula used in funding federal grants does not discriminate against any individuals within the District Health Board (DHB).

Demographics of New York

New York is a state within the USA that is characterized by the presence of ethnically diverse culture. It hosts approximately 23.6 million individuals making it the largest city in the US. This city comprises of individuals of different ethnic backgrounds. This is because it provides a home to many immigrants. Moreover, it is an entry also to many immigrants coming to the USA. Therefore it consists of individuals of various cultures, gender, and social status as well. Therefore using a population-based funding formula in homeland security will be more active in the city.

Argument for PBFF

PBFF is a funding formula that seeks to provide financial aid to many individuals within a District Health Board (DHB). This formula can cover a wide range of health services. It can cater for primary care; hospital and community care for the population within a District Health Board (DHB). Moreover, the formula can also cover the health of older people and those with mental illness regardless of their ethnic backgrounds, age, and gender (In Ludwig & In Shah, 2014, p. 13). Therefore Population-Based Funding Formula (PBFF) aims to cover for financial aids of every individual within the population of a District Health Board (DHB).

In addition, Population-Based Funding Formula (PBFF) funds any District Health Board (DHB) based on the number of population within that area. Therefore it ensures that every individual within the District Health Board (DHB) is catered for regarding financial aids when they need it. As a result, Population-Based Funding Formula (PBFF) aims is to make sure that there is an equitable distribution of funds to individuals in the District Health Board (DHB). PBFF aims to provide every person in the population with health services that meet their needs. This means that during funding the financial aids given to a population in the District Health Board (DHB) are about the needs of all individuals in that area. This ensures that there is an equitable distribution of funds to every person for the purpose of satisfaction of needs of individuals. Therefore the state of New York requires this funding formula for the purpose of giving every individual in the diverse population satisfactory health and care services regardless of their differences.

” I am pleased to see that somebody has argued for a Population-Based Funding Formula. You did an excellent job summarily explaining your point and reasonings. WITH RESPECT TO REESE’S WORK IN THE ANALYSIS OF ISSUES FOR THE 109TH CONGRESS, DO YOU FEEL THAT THE EVIDENCE CONCERNING THREAT LEVELS, RISK ASSESSMENTS, AND THE COPIOUS AMOUNT OF INFORMATION PRESENTED BY OUR COHORTS BRINGS UP ANY CONCERNS WITH RESPECT TO YOUR ARGUMENT? A Population-based funding formula makes more sense to for North Dakota. Their population density per square mile isn’t anything close to New YorK City. 2015 census estimates put North Dakota’s total state population is 756,927 (Population Estimates, 2015). North Dakota’s 3 largest cities are Fargo, Bismarck and Grand Forks total population is around 250,00 combined (North Dakota, n.d.) while in Bronx, NY alone, the population was 1,455,444 (Population Estimates, 2015). I learned a lot from your argument in favor of the population based formula. Your argument makes sense to me but I wonder how you feel about it in regards to my questions asked?
