Stereotypes in Media

Choose an advertisement or an article published in a newspaper. The selected article/ advertisement must engage some aspects of a current social issue in Canada or elsewhere in the world. For example you might want to choose an article that discusses ongoing controversy around wearing the hijab while driving. Avoid reading for information. Look for ways of thinking about the subject matter. Your goal is to provide a critical analysis of the article/advertisement, looking carefully at how the writer and or advertiser use language to communicate an argument or a message. For example, are there any biases? What does the title reveal? Does the image reproduce or suggest stereotypes?

Best Practices: Religious and spiritual life at the two schools

The topic is set as the “religious and spiritual” life at the two schools. They both have offices “Interfaith Center” at Swathmore and “Office of Religious life” at Princeton but there’s more as they have listed different religious organizations on their campuses.

Using information retrieved through the internet, submit a report which assesses and compares the programs of two US higher education institutions in one specific area of diversity. Only web-based information is required.

The two colleges/universities must be of different types–i.e., 4 year liberal arts or research university; public or private; small, medium or large enrollment sizes, and/or rural or urban. Attention should be paid to the practical and logistical aspects such as facilities, staffing and assessments/evaluation processes as well as the relevance of the program to the mission, student body enrollment, endowment and other institutional factors of the institution. Do not limit the review to student affairs but also to academic areas when appropriate. Evaluate services in relation to published policies and student or college-sponsored programs.

Maladaptive Responses to Immune Disorders

Review Chapter 5 and Chapter 7 in the Huether and McCance text. Reflect on the concept of maladaptive responses to disorders.
–Select two of the following immune disorders: HIV, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, or systemtic lupus E (SLE).
–Identify the pathophysiology of each disorder you selected. Consider the compensatory mechanisms that the disorders trigger. Then compare the resulting maladaptive and physiological responses of the two disorders
–Select one of the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age,or behavior. Reflect on how the factor might impact your selected immune of the disorders

Please address the following below for the DISCUSSION:
–A brief description of the pathophysiology of your selected immune disorders
–Explain how the maladaptiive and physciological responses of the two disorders differ.
–Finally, explain how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of each disorder

Team Based Health Care Delivery

Write a paper that discusses the team-based approaches to the delivery of health services. The focus of the paper should be one type of health care environment, such as a hospital, primary care, or long-term care facility.

Within your paper, be sure to do the following:

Present a patient case (this does not need to be detailed).
Describe the team that would deliver care and their individual roles.
Identify and describe the indicators and determinants of health that would influence or impact this case.
Describe the impact this team-based approach would have on management and line staff.
Provide an analysis of key financial and resource savings for consumers and insurance companies as they apply to this model.
From a leadership position, explain the advantages of using a team-based approach.
Your paper should contain the following parts:

Introduction

Statistics and research method: Explain the difference between a RMANOVA and a-test. When are each used when analyzing statistics

I need help in statistics and research method in some question related to nutrition, but any stat expert and researcher in the medical or human filed should be able to answer it. i am willing to add one more page or so. and also willing to add more 16 hours for the deadline:

1) Explain the difference between a RMANOVA and a-test. When are each used when analyzing statistics

2) Develop a research question and corresponding hypothesis for a clinical trial investigating the effect of resveratrol on health and chronic disease. You can select the population and outcome variables. Identify independent and dependent variables. What statistical procedure would you use to analyze your data and why?

3) Explain why sample size calculations are used. Does a cross-over design effect sample size calculations compared to studying two homogenous groups?

4) If studying two homogenous groups, how do you determine if they are homogenous? If they are not homogenous, what statistical procedure needs to be followed when analyzing the results of a research project?

5) If recruiting participants for a study, how do you assure groups are homogenous prior to initiating the study?

6) The following excerpt is from a research article. The purpose, study design, statistics are provided as well as two figures of the results. Based on the purpose and study design, are the correct statistical procedures performed. Explain why or why not.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a moderate dose of ibuprofen (400 mg/d) consumed on a daily basis after resistance training on muscle hypertrophy and strength. A secondary purpose of our study was to examine whether ingesting ibuprofen after exercise has any effect on perceived ratings of muscle soreness. Our hypothesis was that chronic consumption of ibuprofen would lead to decreased muscle hypertrophy, strength, and muscle soreness compared to placebo.
Design

A counter-balanced double-blinded design was used where subjects were randomly assigned to ingest ibuprofen (two 200mg tablets/ day) immediately after training the biceps of one arm and placebo after training the other arm the next day. The counter balancing ensured that the number of subjects receiving ibuprofen after training their dominant arm was equal to the number who received ibuprofen after training their non-dominant arm. Peak plasma concentration of ibuprofen is reached about 1-4 hours after ingestion (Davies 1998), which corresponds to the time at which muscle protein synthesis is significantly elevated after biceps exercise (Chesley et al. 1992; MacDougall et al. 1995). The active moiety of ibuprofen is virtually entirely excreted within 24 hours following administration (Davies 1998); therefore, the ibuprofen would have negligible effect on the arm, which received the placebo. Subjects trained 5 days per week for 6 weeks; therefore, each arm was trained over 15 exercise sessions. Muscle thickness and strength were determined before and after the 6 weeks of training and muscle soreness was evaluated everyday during the training program.

Statistics

All data are reported as mean ± SE. T-tests were performed on baseline data to determine if groups were the same at baseline. T-tests were also performed to determine the effect of ibuprofen on training adaptations and to determine if ibuprofen arm’s response was different from the control arm’s. All data were analyzed using Statistica 7.0 (StatSoft, Tulsa, OK). Significant was set at p<0.05.
