Public health surveillance and prevention efforts in the U.S. reflect the involvement of numerous health care providers and organizations. Government agencies such as the CDC often function as a hub for the collection, coordination, and communication of public health-related data. Common applications of public health IT to promote and improve the health of populations include (but are not limited to) biosurveillance, disease registries, and immunization tracking. The timely and appropriate implementation of these applications can have a significant impact on the ability of providers to deliver health care to the their patients, which, in turn, can have a profound effect on a community’s overall state of health and wellness. Consider the dire impact a SARS outbreak might have, for example, if patient diagnoses were not reported and shared regionally, nationally, and internationally.

Prepare for this Application as follows:

• Conduct a literature review of a specific application of health information technology in public health and locate an example in which the application was used to address a public health-related concern. (You might wish to begin by researching a particular surveillance program, disease outbreak, disease registry, prevention program, or other public health-related event, and then identify the technology involved in this activity.)
• Find out how this application has impacted the public’s health. Learn also about any ways in which health care providers and organizations were involved in the use of this information technology.

Then write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

• Describe the specific application you selected and the ways in which it addresses a public health-related concern. Summarize the potential benefits to the public, as well as any possible drawbacks, arising from the use of this application.
• Explain the role of hospitals and other health care organizations in contributing to or making use of this public health-related IT application.
• Discuss other implications of this application for health care providers and organizations. How has it impacted (or might it impact) clinical or administrative practices in hospitals or other health care

Here’s What Happened . . .

Understanding the various criminological theories and their interrelated concepts is a daunting task. From classicism to the Chicago school, key terms, theorists, and other important information can get lost in the shuffle.

Here’s What You Need To Do . . .

Create a PowerPoint presentation. Organize the information you have learned in this course and complete the following points:

1. Demographic Information:
   1. Select 12 (APA 6 only requires numbers to be spelled out to nine, 10 and above are ok numerically) theories and arrange them in chronological order in a column. Be sure to select at least two to three theories from each criminological category (biological and psychological).
   2. Identify the year and period of time in which each theory originated.
   3. Identify the theorist or theorists associated with each theory.
   4. Examine the history and origination location of each theory.
2. Empirical Foundation: Examine the foundational research that grounded each theory and any current research that supports the theory today.
3. Theoretical Components:
   1. Identify each theory’s school of thought and the type of theory it is (biological and psychological).
   2. Examine the major premises of each theory.
   3. Examine the minor premises of each theory.
4. Application: Examine where the theory has been used in practice or how it is being used in the criminal justice system today.

Explain what makes a good theory. Address the following questions for each theory:

1. How does the theory address the problem of crime?
2. How are cultural influences on crime integrated into the theory?
3. What solutions for the individual, family, community, and society does the theory suggest?

Optional: Create any additional column headings with information you believe is important to understand each theory, its explanation of criminal behavior, and its application to the criminal justice system.

Note: Be sure to cite the sources of your information by stating the URLs from the web pages or from other sources.

Be sure to build in-text citations for the web pages and create references for the web pages that link

Reflect on the topic of the chapter, and provide an overview of the key points.

 

 

Analyze the information presented, incorporate additional readings or current news information related to the topic, and provide your opinion on relevant issues (referring to facts that you present to back up your point).

The American Cancer Society estimates that by the end of 2012, more than 226,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 241,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer (American Cancer Society, 2012a; American Cancer Society 2012b). With such prevalence of women’s and men’s cancers, patient education and preventive services are essential. In clinical settings, advanced practice nurses must assist physicians in educating patients on risk factors, preventive services, and for patients diagnosed with cancer, on potential drug treatments. The clinical implications of women’s and men’s cancer greatly depend on early detection, which is primarily achieved through preventive services. In this Assignment, you consider the short-term and long-term implications of cancer and drug treatments associated with women’s and men’s health, as well as appropriate preventive services.

To prepare:

• Select a type of cancer associated with women’s or men’s health such as breast, cervical, or ovarian cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.
• Locate and review articles examining the type of cancer you selected.
• Review the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force article in the Learning Resources. Think about available preventive services that providers might recommend for patients at risk of this type of cancer.
• Select two of the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how these factors might impact decisions related to preventive services.
• Consider drug treatment options for patients diagnosed with the type of cancer you selected including short-term and long-term implications of the treatments.

To complete:

Write a 2- to 3- page paper that addresses the following:

• Describe available preventive services that providers might recommend for patients at risk of the type of cancer you selected.
• Explain how the factors you selected might impact decisions related to preventive services.
• Describe drug treatment options for patients diagnosed with the type of cancer you selected. Explain the short-term and long-term implications of these treatments.

you will write an essay that compare and contrasts. Your essay’s focus needs to be on theme and setting and/or characterization; your essay’s focus will depend on which prompt you choose.

You may choose one of the following prompts, or you may choose your own:

1. Compare/contrast Mary in “Lamb to the Slaughter” to one of the women in “A Jury of Her Peers” (Minnie Foster, Mrs. Hale, or Mrs. Peters — or possibly all three), paying particular attention to theme as well as setting and/or characterization, and make an argument about justice and the role of gender and the resolutions.

2. Compare/contrast the parent/child relationships in “Everyday Use” and “Marriage Is a Private Affair,” paying particular attention to theme as well as setting and/or characterization, and make an argument about the conflicts that can exist between generations, as well as the main characters’ epiphanies and the resolutions.

3. Compare and contrast the grandmother in “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” and Mathilde in “The Necklace,”  paying particular attention to theme as well as setting and/or characterization, and make an argument about the pitfalls of pride.

Again, Unit 2 will cover, in detail, how to write a comparison/contrast essay. In brief, “an essay in comparison and contrast shows how two works are similar to and different from each other” (Abcarian and Klotz 57).

For this particular essay, you must demonstrate your understanding of characterization, setting, and/or theme.

Your essay must be between 750-1000 words and adhere to MLA formatting. It needs to quote directly from your chosen text(s) for support (at least 4), but it should not use any secondary research.

Keep in mind that the comparison/contrast essay should not just summarize the story or stories, nor should it just state how two things are alike and/or different: the essay should move beyond th
