In how many of the films were the main character a racial or ethnic minority?
Sociology 1 To better understand your own attitudes towards racial bias, take the Race Implicit Bias Test at https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html. Click the I wish to proceed button at the bottom of the page and go to the Race IAT. After you perform the test, print out your results or submit them electronically to your instructor. Are you surprised by the results? Regardless of your race, what was the one question you scored low on? Where you surprised by this? Explain.2 The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is the federal agency charged with investigating claims of discrimination that violate federal civil rights law. Examine a wide selection of cases filed with the commission at the newsroom and statistics sections of their website: (http://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/newsroom/index.cfm and http://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/statistics/enforcement/index.cfm). What patterns do you see in the types of discrimination claimed? Is the discrimination individual or institutional? Is it intentional or unintentional? Are there some areas of the country with more claims than others? Are some types of claims more common than others? Based on this analysis, how big of a problem do you think discrimination is in the United States today?3- Write down a list of fictional films you have recently watched and the genre into which they fall (e.g., romantic comedy, drama, action film, horror, etc.). Next to the titles, note the main characters, their race and gender, and 23 defining characteristics. In how many of the films were the main character a racial or ethnic minority? In films where the main characters were not racial or ethnic minorities, what kinds of roles did minority characters have? Do you detect any pattern in the kinds of roles played by actors of different racial or ethnic groups? Share and compare your responses with classmates.
How did this data help in your decision-making process?
Did you know confidence intervals are also used to project reliability in consumer products? We use confidence intervals in our daily lives, from consumer ratings to election projections. Seeing this data help us make decisions on the best option to choose. If, for example, one brand of refrigerator has a 17% chance of needing repair in the first three years. A different brand may have a 3-year repair rate of 19%. If a footnote says differences of more than 4% are meaningless, we can conclude that the repair rates really are not that different! However, any refrigerator with a repair rate more than 4% higher than 17% is more likely to need repair in the next three years.For this discussion, locate a confidence interval that you have used in your work or professional life.Provide a link to the data and respond to the following questions.How did this data help in your decision-making process?If you had the choice to make that decision again, would you make the same decision and why?Your paper should be three paragraphs in length. Use current APA formatting to cite your sources.

Describe the differences between a board of nursing and a professional nurse association.
Nursing is a very highly regulated profession. There are over 100 boards of nursing and national nursing associations throughout the United States and its territories. Their existence helps regulate, inform, and promote the nursing profession. With such numbers, it can be difficult to distinguish between BONs and nursing associations, and overwhelming to consider various benefits and options offered by each.Both boards of nursing and national nursing associations have significant impacts on the nurse practitioner profession and scope of practice. Understanding these differences helps lend credence to your expertise as a professional. In this Assignment, you will practice the application of such expertise by communicating a comparison of boards of nursing and professional nurse associations. You will also share an analysis of your state board of nursing.To Prepare:Assume that you are leading a staff development meeting on regulation for nursing practice at your healthcare organization or agency.Review the NCSBN and ANA websites to prepare for your presentation.The Assignment: (8- to 9-slide PowerPoint presentation)Develop a 8- to 9-slide PowerPoint Presentation that addresses the following:Describe the differences between a board of nursing and a professional nurse association.Describe the board for your specific region/area.Who is on the board?How does one become a member of the board?Describe at least one state regulation related to general nurse scope of practice.How does this regulation influence the nurses role?How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare?Describe at least one state regulation related to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs).How does this regulation influence the nurses role?How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare?Include Speaker Notes on Each Slide (except on the title page and reference page)
What process was used to identify the genetic composition?
Reply to two prompts in 100 words each. No sites needed, these are just thoughts on the prompts.(Original prompt for you consideration,An important characteristic of a medical professional is to make sense of information and then continue to ask questions to collect additional information. You will practice this as you respond to this weeks question. For each of the following, answer the question and then describe what additional questions you might be able to investigate to gain additional information that might enhance your understanding.What is its genetic composition?What process was used to identify the genetic composition?How has this information been used to identify treatments?)Prompt 1: TheC. trachomatisgenome is substantially smaller than that of many other bacteria encoding approximately 900 genes.Several important metabolic functions are not encoded in theC. trachomatisgenome, and instead, are likely scavenged from the host cell.In addition to the chromosome that contains most of the genome, nearly allC. trachomatisstrains carry a 7.5kilobase plasmidthat contains 8 genes.The role of this plasmid is unknown, though strains without the plasmid have been isolated, suggesting it is not required for survival of the bacterium. According to our text in Chapter 10, the size of a bacteriums genome directly relates to how much the bacterium depends on its host for survival. When a bacterium relies on the host cell to carry out certain functions, it loses the genes encoding the abilities to carry out those functions itself. From a clinical perspective, obligate intracellular pathogens also tend to have small genomes (some around Because host cells supply most of their nutrients, they tend to have a reduced number of genes encoding metabolic functions. The size of the genomes of the organism Chlamydia trachomatis is (1.0 million).Chlamydiaalternates between two morphological forms, the elementary body (EB) and the reticulate body (RB). EBs are extra-cellular, metabolically inert forms, responsible for dissemination of infection by their ability to attach to and invade susceptible cells.Prompt 2: I have been discussing Staphylococcus aureus for the last two weeks in my posts. It was first discovered in 1880 by Alexander Ogston when he noticed that clusters of bacteria were present in the pus of a surgical abscess.S. Aureus is a gram- positive round shaped bacterium that is also a facultative anaerobe, which means it doesnt need oxygen to survive. It is found in grape-like clusters called staphylococci, which can be see when it is looked at under a microscope. S. aureus is produced by binary fission.In order to identify S. Aureus, a sample is taken and sent to a lab to undergo enzyme-based tests. A gram stain is performed and followed by a culture, done by using a salt/agar solution.As a result, yellow-colored colonies begin to form.For susceptible strains of S. Aureus penicillin is the antibiotic that is used to treat this infection. It is able to block the production of peptidoglycan connections, which make up the cell wall of this bacteria. Ultimately, this upsets the balance of cell wall formation and leads to the death of the cells. Penicillin does not work for all strains in present day.Up to 90% of strains are now penicillin resistant.
