A researcher must be knowledgeable of the different quantitative research designs and be able to effectively apply the best design as dictated by the research question. For this assignment, you will create a 3- to 4-page document following the directions below.

Part I

Compare Methods

Compare and contrast two research methods. Give an example of a situation (related to forensic counseling) in which each of the two chosen methods can be applied.

• Experimental
• Quasi-experimental
• Correlational
• Survey
• Developmental

Part II

Answer Questions

In reference to one of the two example research scenarios that you discussed above in Part I, further explore by answering the following questions (apply these questions to your own research project):

• Determine a suitable research goal.
• Discuss what type of sampling could be used for this study.
• Identify which types of research designs above (from Part I) would be most appropriate to use.
• State your hypothesis of the expected results for this proposed study.

Your final product will be in a Microsoft Word document and be approximately 3–4 pages in length and utilize 2–3 scholarly sources in your research. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

1. Locate a hate group on the Internet. The Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate map” (http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/hate-map) provides a useful starting point.
2. Analyze the site using the following questions:
   • What appear to be the goals of this hate group?
   • How does this group try to rationalize and “market” hate?
   • What prejudices, stereotypes, and “isms” are revealed in this Web site?

 

Post the URL of the hate group you investigated and a written summary of your responses to the questions above. Suggest at least one response to confront the hate group’s position through proactive methods. Cite ideas from your readings as appropriate, particularly the section “Overcoming Diversity Barriers” on pages 83–89 of your text.

 

• Resources:Bucher, R. D. (2015). Diversity consciousness: Opening our minds to people, cultures, and opportunities (4th ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson Education.

Assignment Overview

Cortisol is an important hormone that is released in the stress response. In this module assignment, we will look at this hormone more closely to investigate:

1. the molecular composition of cortisol
2. the signaling pathway that elicits the production and release of cortisol
3. the cellular-, organ-, and organ system-level response that results from this cell signal

Case Assignment

Read the following articles:

The Physiology of Stress: Cortisol and the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis. Randall, M. 2011. Dartmouth Undergraduate Journal of Science.

and

The Relationship between Traumatic Stress, PTSD and Cortisol. Delaney, E. Naval Center for Combat & Operational Stress Control.

After reading these articles, develop a 10–15 slide presentation in the following format.

Slides 1 and 2: The cascade of hormonal signals described by the section titled “Neurochemistry of Stress” of the Randall (2011) article. Use simple ovals or circles to depict the regions that release specific hormones in the hormone cascade that results in the release of cortisol. Label the hormones and regions and organs involved using textboxes (both options appear in the “Insert” tab of the PowerPoint program).

Slides 3 and 4: Label and diagram the kidney and adrenal gland. Include the following:

• Adrenal gland: cortex and medulla; regions associated with hormone production and release; hormones released in each region
• Kidney: cortex and medulla; region of water absorption and filtering; region of urine collection

Slide 5: Diagram and label the HPA axis. Include the hormones released by each component and their effect on the target organ(s).

Slide 6: Using your diagram from Slide 5, include the location of the hippocampus and the negative feedback loop that occurs when the hippocampus detects high cortisol levels. In the notes section, include a brief description of the effects associated with elevated cortisol exposure to the hippocampus.

Slide 7: Using bulleted points, list factors that exacerbate the stress response through activation of the HPA axis.

Slide 8–10: Do some additional research on PTSD. Diagram the regions of the brain believed to be involved with symptoms of PTSD. Explain the relationship between PTSD and depression and include relevant regions of the brain in your labeled regions.

Slides 11–13: In bulleted points, summarize the varied findings in the studies described in the article, “The Relationship between Traumatic Stress, PTSD and Cortisol.” Include the relationships found between cortisol levels and individuals with PTSD. In the notes include some explanations from the article for the variability in cortisol levels in these individuals. Explain the limitations of these studies mentioned by the author at the end of the article.

Slides 14 and 15: references cited, additional notes if necessary

Assignment Expectations

For this Case Assignment you will develop a PowerPoint presentation that is approximately 15 slides in length and addresses the requirements outlined above. Place the text containing the answers to the questions above in the Notes section of your slide presentation. Reference all of your answers in your Notes sections with citations, such as (Murray 2014). Your slides should contain labeled images that illustrate the text that you included in your Notes sections. Do a Google search that includes the term “image” to find diagrams of the required organs and systems (e.g., search for “adrenal gland image”). Provide the website or reference used for each labeled image. Be sure your last slide is a references slide that contains the full references cited on your slides. Many resources are provided for you. Include these in your references section. This assignment should not require m

Research a recent real-life marketing campaign, providing links to the organization, product, or campaign being discussed. In a well written paper, assess the marketing campaign using the following questions as a guide:

• What marketing concepts and tools did the campaign utilize?
• What marketing concepts and tools were overlooked or not used?
• How was integration important to the campaign?
• What do you think makes the campaign successful or unsuccessful?
• What recommendations would you make to improve this marketing campaign?
• What information does this marketing campaign give you about overall marketing management at this organization?

Support your discussion with research.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be 3-4 pages in length
• Cite a minimum of two credible sources
• Be formatted according to APA requirements
  

Conduct research using the Internet regarding the differences in culture, management styles, and communication strategies between the U.S. and Cambodia.  Analyze at least three potential management conflicts that may arise due to the identified differences and propose solutions for each to help combat these conflicts. Use at least one chart or graph in your PowerPoint presentation.

 

Create a PowerPoint presentation (approximately 10 slides) containing both your assessment of the differences, as well as the potential conflicts. All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources. Please be sure to cite, in proper APA format, the information sources you used both within the body of your presentation and on a reference slide at the end of your presentation.

Also, you may use PowerPoint’s notes feature to further articulate your reasoning for the selection of the identified conflicts.

Unit 6 Assignment: Responsibilities of the Office Manager  Unit outcomes addressed in this Assignment: • Differentiate among the types of management styles as listed in the textbook. • Discuss the goals and management principles of an office manager. • Illustrate the importance of a medical office policy manual. • Develop the basic groundwork of an office policy manual. Course outcome(s) addressed in this Assignment: MO270-3: Describe methods of personnel management in the medical office. Instructions:  The Final Project for this course is for you to design and develop an effective Policy and Procedure Manual based on the information you have learned throughout this course. You will begin working on this manual now, with the completed manual due at the end of Unit 9. For your Unit 6 Assignment, you will need to turn in an outline of the first four sections of your Policy and Procedure Manual.  The first four sections need to include the following 1. A mission statement (at least three sentences) 2. About the practice: Name of office and doctor(s), any specialty they practice, location, office hours, list of holidays office is closed 3. Employee benefits (add descriptions for each one): Vacation, sick leave, medical, dental, retirement, bereavement, FMLA 4. Employee conduct and discipline (add descriptions for each one)

Focus is on institutional, procedural issues. Background on concepts of partnerships, what do we mean by governance/partnership convey a sense that strategic planning on any level (local, regional etc) is about partnership/governance/multi-agency networking. In general, (not focused on Manchester) explain governance/partnerships how has evolved, background on policy matters, why local planning authorities have to work certain way etc this is quite general overview of governance and it doesnt need to be more than 500 words.

Economic and social context: from this section on the focus is on Manchester. Background on Manchester, what type of place it is, City of Manchester / Manchester City Region and its strategy with surrounding authorities. Devomanc etc.

Planning challenge(s): focus on single issue/topic HOUSING

Mapping of stakeholders involved How is housing managed through partnerships/governance – Evaluation of relationships, what are the patterns of governance etc.

Learning outcomes: conclusion – How does Manchester demonstrate strategic planning and partnership. Are there too many agencies involved? Does Manchester represent the best attempt to bring order to the chaos – Manchester has complex system of governance.

There are three possible conclusions, depends on evidence and literature available:
1.Manchester is the best example of doing best in the existing complex, imperfect UK planning system and incoherent governance.

2.Manchester is too elitist, highly economic, attracting foreign investments but it doesnt do anything about social cohesion, governance of Manchester.

3.Manchester is a bit of both as mentioned above.
