For  this assignment, you will be learning about how NASA climate scientists  arrive at their conclusions concerning sea level rise and you will have  a chance to consider some consequences of sea level rise. You will also  see how “climate change deniers” generate their claims and learn about  the tactics they use in their attempts to popularize these claims.

These are the topics of the 2015 Vice News Documentary: Our Rising Oceans. Watch the documentary here:

You  have already learned about the nature of inductive reasoning and that  inductive reasoning is the backbone of the scientific method. Some very  savvy thinkers have utilized facts about inductive reasoning to attempt  to sow doubt about scientific claims as they relate to ethical issues.  In the documentary, you hear about the Heritage Foundation and its role  in generating climate change denial. You will also hear that the same  organization helped tobacco companies develop arguments denying that  their products cause cancer. Question 2, below, will address their  tactics. The following two videos will help you to further understand  the “problem of induction” and how it factors into these tactics: 

Skepticism: David Hume

The Problem of Induction

For this assignment, answer the following questions fully:

1. In  “Our Rising Oceans”, you witnessed a conference of “climate change  deniers” at which scientific claims about climate change are called into  question. What are three things that stood out to you about this  conference? Explain.
2. At  the conference of “climate change deniers”, you heard a speaker state  that “observation claims are not knowledge: they are not universal,  necessary, and certain.” What this speaker is referencing is called the  “problem of induction,” and this problem is simply a fact of inductive  reasoning. In short, if a conclusion depends on our observations rather  than on necessary logical relationships, those conclusions cannot be  guaranteed. Consider the following:

• “universal” means true in all cases
• “necessary” means could not be otherwise 
• “certain” means cannot be doubted

With  these things in mind, it should be clear that there is nothing that we  know from experience or observation that is “universal, necessary, and  certain.” But does this mean that nothing we “know” from observation or  experience actually counts as “knowledge?” That would imply that you  don’t “know” whether it is day or night, whether the screen you are  reading this on actually exists, or whether you even have a body at all!  I don’t think, for most of us, that our standard of knowledge is quite  that strict.

Your  supplementary materials above include two YouTube videos that offer  short explanations of the problem of induction for your consideration.  Consider what you have read here and what you saw in these videos. Here,  then, is question 2:

Is the problem of induction sufficient to dismiss scientific claims about climate change? Why or why not?

1.  In  the documentary, you saw some consequences of climate change that are  already occurring in Bangladesh. What are three things that stood out to  you from that section of the video? Explain what you found significant  about these things.

*One  thing I find interesting is that we are seeing the same sorts of  rejections of scientific claims regarding COVID-19 as we see with  climate change. Maybe you have heard these arguments addressing ethical  issues related to the pandemic. We also see them in debates surrounding  vaccinations.

Paper details

In Part 1 of this two-part assignment, you will analyze four interview transcripts by developing a code book and coding the data presented in the transcripts. This will mimic the process and feeling of coding a large study, though on a much smaller scale. The codes and code book you develop will be used in Part 2 of this assignment to identify themes in the four transcripts.

General Requirements Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

• Refer to the resource “Qualitative Analysis Assignment Directions
  

Assignment Content

1. Imagine you are an office manager at a health care facility that includes cardiology, respiratory, gastroenterology, and urology departments. As the office manager, you have been given the task of creating a newsletter for new and existing patients. The newsletter will inform patients about different body systems, including their structure, function, and different diseases that affect that system. Patients will learn how a disease is diagnosed in a particular system and the type of doctor they would see if they have an ailment within a body system. Create a word document with images. Strive for less than 15% similarity index. I will be assessing. Be sure to also include images. I am not able to accept a shared drive link for the assignment. Do not submit the working table worksheet as your assignment.

   The Provider Newsletter assignment will be completed weekly. You will create one section for your newsletter each week. Each section will focus on the body system covered for the week.

   • Week 2: Cardiovascular
   • Week 3: Respiratory
   • Week 4: Gastrointestinal
   • Week 5: Urinary
   • Think of your audience when writing your newsletter; make it informative as well as visually appealing.

     Create an informative newsletter for your patients (260 to 350 words minimum). Use the following prompts as sections for your newsletter:

     Part 1: Cardiovascular and Circulatory System

   • Identify the structure and function of the cardiovascular and circulatory system.
   • Identify the major structures found in the system.
   • Define the function of this system.
   • Describe major diseases that affect the cardiovascular and circulatory system.
   • Identify 1 or 2 major diseases that affect the system.
   • Describe the disease(s) identified.
   • Describe major laboratory and diagnostic tests that are used to assess cardiovascular and circulatory diseases.
   • Using the disease(s) identified in the previous prompt, identify the most common laboratory and diagnostic test used to access the disease(s).
   • Describe the test identified.
   • Describe the main health care providers for the cardiovascular and circulatory department.
   • Identify the main health care providers in this department.
   • Describe the role they play (to the patient, facility, or community) and the types of patients they see (typical demographics, age, gender, etc.)
   • Cite at least 2 peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar references. For additional information on how to properly cite your sources, log on to the Center for Writing Excellence.

     Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.

Case Study:  – 1,300 word

Choose a business having a substantial mobile e-commerce presence and one ideally with which you have had some experience. In  1300-word case analysis, critique the suite of services provided by the business by analyzing the advantages and possible deficiencies of this service. Ideally, if you use the service yourself, use your own personal experiences as data for this analysis, but also indicate how other people might have differing perceptions in regard to the value of these mobile services. Make sure that you use the frameworks and concepts articulated in your readings. Other questions to reflect on in this analysis include the following:

What specific value or customer needs are being served via these mobile services?

Do you find that you value the features offered by these mobile services? Support your position with specific examples.

How might the mobile services of this company be improved? Again, support your argumentation with specific examples.

Postulate how these mobile platforms in this specific company might evolve into what has been termed u-commerce in your readings. What kinds of functionality would be offered? Do you think customers would value such functionality? (if you need to segment potential customer populations please do so).

What ethical issues surround this deployment of mobile commerce?

Must be done in APA format with credible references.
