Graduate research & critical analysis jan 19
STOP: (1) Have you watched the HW video on APA 7 Basics and Cover Page? (2) IF you were absent, have you watched the class recording? Do not continue to the assignment until these things are complete.
ASSIGNMENTStep 1, Brainstorm: Think about your field of study as a master’s student. Use one of the two methods taught in class and find two news articles that report on relevant problems related to the industry associated with your master’s degree program (think about scandals within the last 5 years). Come up with two examples using the format below in a simple Word document, using APA 7 Basics and an APA 7 cover page learned through the HW video (see p. 20 in Foundations for a sample cover page)
Step 2, Create your Word Document and Answer Questions (it should look similar to p. 5 in Foundations):
FOR EXAMPLE: If my major is public health or even education, I would come up with something like Issue/Problem 1 below (MPH students, you cannot use this as your own). We have started one together in class, so you must complete what you started in class and find a second research problem proposal:
Issue/Problem 1: Depression and anxiety among young adults 1) People Involved: College students, parents2) Link to Article: https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/college-students-and-depression3) My Research Question: What have researchers learned about the impact of COVID 19 on depression and anxiety among young adult students?
I would then fill out my second Problem proposal below:
Issue/Problem 2:1) People Involved: 2) Link to Article: 3) My Research Question: What have researchers learned about

Geology of the Earth Essay
The second and final paper of the semester is based on the following attachments. Please thoroughly read the attached material. You can organize your paper in whatever way you would like but please be sure to address all of the points/questions, based on the attached articles.If you just look up this information online, without thoroughly reading the attachments, you will not meet the requirement of this assignment. After reading the attached PDF research papers please address the following. Feel free to use any information we covered in class as well as any outside sources if you choose to.When trying to interpret earth’s ancient climate we must rely on the findings and/or the assumptions from the sister field of climatology, namely geology.As an important side note, a portion of the final exam will come from the material presented in the PDF (in addition to lecture) so it’s a good study resource. What information is presented and why is it significant? What’s the argument within the field of geology and are both perspectives being equally portrayed in the education system? Why or why not? What is uniformitarianism? Give evidence, if any, for the support of this view.What is catastrophism? Give evidence, if any, for the support of this view.Can both really be true?What are the implications of this question and why does it matter?Has there been any suppression in the public-policy or scientific community regarding any one of these views as it relates to geology, climatology or any other sciences and why might this be so?
The Implementation & Application of EBP Discussion Response
Please respond with a paragraph to the following question:When implementing evidence-based practice (EBP), it is important to understand the local health care system when it will be implemented. If one is in a rural area with limited resources, an EBP practice change made for a large facility in a large city may not work the same as in the rural area. Models for EBP implementation provide stepwise guidance; however, particular contextual factors act as facilitators or barriers to the process (Kueny, Shever, Mackin, & Titler, 2015, para. 5). For example, attempting a trial of labor after cesarean section (TOLAC) has numerous studies of being safely implemented pending the patients obstetrical history. In the city I am originally from, it is a rural area where anesthesia does not have to be in house and there is no neonatal intensive care unit. Due to health care system there, they do not allow women to have a TOLAC due to lack of resources in the area.One thing my mentor has mentioned to me is to also consider the population I am wanting to educate in regard to the benefits of breastfeeding. We live in a poor state that is 50th for education, therefore that needs to be considered when presenting evidence-based research to be implemented. She also pointed out that since we do live in a poor state and Medicaid is the main insurance for a lot of our population, cost factors must be assessed as well. My research has to prove to be cost effective and done in a frugal way.
Three Speech Introductions Discussion
As we move closer and closer towards the major speech assignments in this course, it is time to start thinking about how you can learn from all that you have read, observed, and learned this semester. In this weeks discussion board you will start thinking about the start of your speeches. Your task this week is to film yourself giving THREE separate introductions for your upcoming speech. By now, you should have begun planning your speech. Remember that it is those first words out of your mouth that really get your audience engaged. In your initial post, Film yourself in three separate clips (not one giant clip) giving a potential intro for that speech. Note that all intros will be on the same topic and for the same speech. Each intro should be decidedly different from the others; use different tactics in each. After getting our attention, please be sure to clearly state your thesis and give a preview of the points you will share in your speech at the end of each clip.Additionally, make sure to write a short statement in your post explaining which of your three introductions you think is the best and why?
Ou (if you have one that is not on the list that is also acceptable
Write a 1-2 page, double spaced paper in which you explore your data plan in depth. Please be sure your paper contains the following information
Choose a popular diet plan. Some suggestions are
The Mediterranean diet
The DASH Diet
Vegetarian Diet
Vegan Diet
Intermittent Fasting
The Paleo Diet
The Keto Diet

Choose one diet plan that interests you (If you have one that is not on the list that is also acceptable as long as it is a well-known diet plan you can find information about). Research some information from a reputable source (such as a library article or a site like the Mayo Clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/) related to the diet plan you choose.
Introduction: A brief overview of the diet plan, including two benefits and two drawbacks. Do you feel the claims are accurate why or why not? (Answer this question using the research you did to prepare)
Based on the benefits and drawbacks, consider who might choose this diet plan and who may not want to choose this plan and why?
Plan a meal: Find one recipe that would fit this diet plan. Provide all ingredients in this recipe. Explain why it fits the parameters of the diet plan.
Conclusion: Would you consider following this diet plan based on what you have learned? Why or why not?
Remember to cite any source you used to find your information. All references should have a full citation at the end of your paper as well as in text citations to show where they were used. If you have questions about this Assignment, please email your instructor.
The Future of Legal Research Discussion
In connection with preparation of Week 5’s Case Study, please access the link posted under Week 5’s Required Resources to material developed by the California Western School of Law outlining the history and relevance of West’s Digests. (link below) “Modern legal researchers do not search for rules with the print digest and facts with computers. Instead, they prefer to search for everything using an electronic resource that is fast and easy to use. Unfortunately, tomorrows lawyers are unaware of some common shortcomings of electronic research and do not possess the strategies to compensate for them. The blame for this situation does not lie with the vendors who trained them, the college librarians who failed to teach them information literacy skills, or the databases that are not easy enough to use. The blame must be placed squarely upon law librarians who have not recognized the needs of their patrons and who must do more to make them excellent legal researchers in the electronic environment.” [The Death of the Digest and the Pitfalls of Electronic Research: What Is the Modern Legal Researcher to Do? (Lee F. Peoples)]After your review of this weeks course material regarding digests, please answer the following questions:

Sociology Threats to The Global Environment Presentation
Congratulations! The United Nations has hired you as a consultant on global issues.Many of the UN members are not satisfied with the progress of the Millennium Development Goals. They believe that the goals focus on the wrong issues. There is a disconnect between the types of issues the developed countries in the UN believe are priorities versus the issues that developing countries of the UN want to prioritize. For example, the country of Burundi has requested that one of the goals be focused on food security. However, Austria is adamant that the major current global issue is to mediate ceasefires within countries experiencing a civil war.You have been asked to provide an unbiased perspective and identify the four issues that have the biggest impact on the global environment.Of the eight major threats listed below, choose the four that you consider the most critical.Energy sourcesCivil warGlobalizationPoor health of entire populationsLack of educational opportunitiesCultural taboosInappropriate uses of technologyClimate changeYou will present your findings at the next UN General Assembly. Your goal is to provide a brief history of each issue, the number of countries affected, and the effects of this threat on the world population.The completed version of this assignment will include the following:
