Assignment Topic

Research and discuss the causes of cardiovascular disease and its relationship to diet and exercise. Compare and analyze your own personal lifestyle choices (Portfolio Lab assignments) to determine your risk of the disease and form a conclusion as to what changes you can make to decrease your risk. Finally, share information with others in order to encourage healthy behaviors within the community. The following information will help you with the type of information that should be included. You are not limited to this, it will just give you a general idea of what I am looking for in the assignment.Part #1 – Research and discuss the causes of cardiovascular disease.(Use at least 2 credible sources for Part #1- be sure to cite source IN THE TEXT and in the bibliography at end of the paper).

  • What are the causes pf cardiovascular disease?
  • Why is it a health concern?
  • What is the incidence of the disease/how many people are affected?
  • Is it preventable? If so, how?
  • What is the cost of the disease to the U.S.?

Part #2 – What is the relationship between cardiovascular disease and diet and exercise? (Use at least 1 credible source for Part #2- be sure to cite source IN THE TEXT and in the  bibliography at the end of the paper).

  • What types of foods contribute to our risk? What foods help in the prevention of the disease?
  • Does physical activity help in prevention? If so, how?
  • How does inactivity increase our risk?

Part #3 – Compare and analyze your own personal lifestyle choices that contribute to YOUR risk of cardiovascular disease. Cite the lab assignments that you refer to. Example: “According to my BMI lab assignment, I am at greater risk…” or, “After reviewing my Nutritional Analysis Lab assignment, I realize…”What are the lifestyle choices you are making that increase your risk?Look at data from the following assignments:

  1. BMI assignment
  2. How Healthy is Your Lifestyle? Survey
  3. Fast food nutrition
  4. Nutritional analysis
  5. Food color chart assignment
  6. Sugar assignment

Be sure to cite the source of this information. (Example: “According to my Nutritional Analysis I do consume too much…”)Part #4 – Form a conclusion as to what changes you can make in your own personal lifestyle choices in order to decrease risk.

  • Specifically what can you do to decrease your risk NOW.
  • How will those changes benefit your future health.

Part #5 – Civic Engagement and Social ResponsibilityHopefully your workouts have allowed you to experience the positive benefits of physical activity. It is now time to share that with others. Physically inactive individuals are at greater risk for cardiovascular disease. According to the Center for Disease Control, if every physically inactive person became active, we would save $77 billion in health care costs every year. Only 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 3 children get the recommended amount of physical activity.Invite at least 1 person (adult or child) to participate in a workout with you. It can be your regular workout or you can do something different (ride bikes, take a free class at gym, try a new workout DVD).Reflect on this experience and include the following information:

  • Who did you invite to workout  with you and why did you choose that person?
  • What information did you share to encourage them to participate?
  • Did you notice a difference in the individual’s attitudes toward physical activity with regards to their age, ethnic background or socioeconomic background?
  • Explain the possible implications on our nation if everyone who is active encouraged others to become active too.
  • What other ways could you encourage physical activity in adults and children?

Experimental research paper

/in /by

Experiential Research Paper:  

An experiential research paper/ project, based on Kolb’s experiential learning cycle, is a formal paper that asks students to identify a particular experience (problem, challenge) at a service site (workplace, school, church, and so on) and analyze that experience within the broader social context in order to make recommendations for change; students are asked to identify an underlying social issue (problem) they have experienced at the service site. Students then research the social issue and read approximately three to five articles on the topic. Based on their experience and research, students make recommendations for future action. This reflection activity…provides students flexibility to pursue (examine/analyze) issues experienced(encountered) at the service site. – (Julie Hatcher, IUPUI).  

Organizational Framework/Outline: 

1. Outline & Thesis: 

Example: Would the implementation of an employee evaluation system or process at the XYZ Company improve organizational effectiveness, productivity, and employee morale and work attitude?

2. (I}. Description of company/organization/service site:a. Brief history and culture* (* see “Organizational Culture” handout). b. Location and related vital statistics c. Organizational structure, duties, responsibilities, and services: 

Briefly identify and describe the mission, vision, and mandate of your organization or agency (service site). Why is your agency in business? What specifically does it do? Why does the company offer the services or products it does? What is the philosophy and assumptions on which the agency bases its services/products to clients?  

(II). Description of the Problem or Issue: 

a. Problem (Thesis Statement/Hypotheses) b. History (duration) c. Analysis: 

Identify a current and specific problem/issue at your service site. Write about why you think it is a problem. Specify (or speculate) the factors or forces you think keep the problem in place or allow it to continue. Identify, both from within and outside (internally and externally) the agency, the key players and/or conditions that help maintain the problem or situation.  

(III). Possible Problem Solutions (Alternate Course of Action):  

a. Description/ Definition b. Importance/Significance c. Benefits, improvements, and so on d. Recommendations: 

Discuss the specific changes you believe the agency/company should take in order to correct the problem/issue. If you could change the problem/situation, who/what would be the key personnel and/or resources on which you would focus your attention? Why? Discuss the kind of responses, challenges, or “resistance” you are likely to encounter as you attempt to initiate/implement change. Outline/discuss the specific steps you would take to bring about this change and the strategy or strategies you would use for each step. How would the process of initiating/implementing change at your service site impact you (make you feel)? 

(IV.) Conclusion: 

a. Revisit the thesis/hypothesis b. Personal anecdote/example that illustrates the thesis c. Interesting/arresting close 

(V). Works Cited Page 

(VI). Appendices? – (if applicable)

Short Fiction Essay 1- Final Draft

/in /by

Provide your final draft here. It should be in MLA format and should contain 700-800 words. It should be edited thoroughly and should conform to the assignment parameters that I have laid out in previous assignments. Look at the essay example I provided in the Week 5 module and be sure that your final draft looks just like it, same font and size (Times New Roman, 12), skipped lines, Works Cited page, header, heading, etc. Be sure that you use or convert to .doc or .docx saved file format so that I can download it into Canvas Speed Grader.  I will be giving detailed feedback with comments on the essay itself and a final comment at the end that will address overall content, grammar, and MLA format in that order. Be sure to edit carefully for careless errors, grammar errors (especially major errors, like run-on sentences, fragments, subject verb agreement, pronoun confusion etc.), clarity, etc. Be sure that you have a narrowed topic and controlling idea in your thesis and that it is provided at the end of your introductory paragraph. Read over your essay carefully one final time before you upload it in addition to your careful editing and proofreading to be sure to catch all of those little mistakes that sneak through. I always end up finding one or two careless errors or a few places where I can add some extra information for the sake of clarity when I do this even though I edit carefully while writing.

Option 1

Problem: Adapted from I.11-66 in the textbook.

Sonny Corporation has never been audited before the current year. An audit is now needed by a CPA because the company is expanding rapidly and plans to issue stock to the public. A CPA firm has been doing preliminary evaluations of the Sonny Corporation’s accounts and records. One major problem involves the valuation of inventory under GAAP. Sonny Corporation has been valuing its inventory under the cost method and no write-downs have been made for obsolescence. A review of the inventory indicates that obsolescence and excess spare parts in the inventory are two major violations of Accounting Periods and Methods. The CPA states that for GAAP the company will be required to write down its inventory by 25% of its stated amount, or $100,000, and charge this amount against net income from operations for the current period. Otherwise, an unqualified (i.e., a “clean opinion”) will not be rendered. The company controller asks your advice regarding the tax consequences from the obsolescence and spare parts inventory write-downs for the current year and the procedures for changing to the lower-of-cost-or-market (LCM) method for tax purposes. Sonny Corporation uses a calendar year for both book and tax purposes, and the date of your contact with the company is December 1 of the current year.

204 ADiscussionsSpotlight and investigative reporting

/in /by

https://xinghe.tv/play/25954475

 

Purposes: For today’s class, we will learn the processes of conducting investigative reports and skill sets required of journalists by watching the Academy Award’s 2016 Best Motion Picture of the Year: Spotlight.

Synopsis: Spotlight tells the riveting true story behind the 2003 Pulitzer Prize-winning Boston Global investigation that would rock the city and cause a crisis in one of the world’s oldest and most trusted institutions. When the newspaper’s tenacious “Spotlight” team of reporters delves into allegations of abuse in the Catholic Church, their year-long investigation uncovers a decades-long cover-up at the highest levels of Boston’s religious, legal, and government establishment, touching off a wave of revelations around the world.

Instructions: Watch the Spotlight on your own (or with friends). As you watch the movie, pay attention to the following questions and take some notes. Share your thoughts on this discussion thread.

Questions: 

  1. Spotlight: The four-person investigative team at the Boston Globe work closely and confidentially on the widespread historical abuse in the Catholic Church. When you watch the movie, pay attention to the role, work and responsibility of each reporter (and/ or editor). Use the space below to takes notes on what the journalists and editor did respectively. In particular, consider how they work both independently and collectively: in what situation/ scenario did they work independently, and what collectively?
  2. People Trials: The key to successful investigative reports is to find and develop sources – both on background and on the record. This is what we call the “people trails”. Use the space below to take notes on the “people trails” in this movie: who did the journalists talk to? How many different directions of various sources have they followed? What documents/ records/ archives have they researched into?

Background:  With some   understanding of the legal system, the GC owners can now shift focus to   examining specific areas of law that create potential risks and liabilities   for their business.   The group knows from their business   experience, that businesses face serious and costly risks and legal   liabilities stemming from tort law. 

Unintentional harm resulting from   accidents, such as in the unintentional torts of negligence and product   liability, can result in costly litigation.  For example, Madison’s   remodeling business was sued by a client injured when one of the roofing   employees accidentally dropped a ladder on that client’s leg. 

The GC owners are concerned about the   possibility of accidents occurring in Green Clean public offices that could   create risks of premises liability under negligence. 

Instructions:  Winnie and Ralph   have given you the responsibility of analyzing and summarizing potential negligence   and premises liability risks that GC might face in its business   operations.  Specifically, you are tasked with creating a presentation   report of your findings for GC owners at their next meeting with TLG.

The presentation should address only the   tort of negligence and include the following parts.

Analyze and describe specific potential   tort risks and liabilities that GC could face under negligence for each of   the following:

1.  Injury to GC employees occurring   during the performance of cleaning services on clients’ commercial property

· include a specific example as part of the   analysis report

2.  Injury to any GC office employee   working within the scope of his/her job occurring during business hours in   GC’s public offices.

· include a specific example as part of the   analysis report

3.  Injury to any GC customers   occurring on the premises of the GC’s public offices.

· include a specific example as part of the   analysis report

Format Instructions:

Prepare the analysis in a report,   addressed to Winnie and Ralph, to be used in discussion with the GC owners.

The report should address the questions in   the Instructions above.  Follow the format below.

Frontal Crash Avoidance (Even On An Ice Rink)

Many car, truck and SUV models now have frontal crash avoidance systems. You can start your research on them at:

http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/t/crash-avoidance-technologies/topicoverview

These systems detect closing speeds between your vehicle and the one in front of you. If the closing speed suggests an imminent collision, the car will either 1) warn the driver and rely on the driver to activate the brake or 2) newer models will actually bypass the driver altogether and apply the brakes without any driver intervention. These systems, though new, are showing evidence of decreasing the number of collisions and the severity of injuries. However, frontal crash avoidance systems no matter how advanced still ultimately rely on braking force. The braking force is proportional to the frictional coefficient and thus, when traction is compromised, the effectiveness of a frontal crash avoidance system is diminished. 

Imagine a vehicle closing fast on a vehicle up ahead. The frontal crash avoidance system identifies the problem and applies the brakes but the car is on black ice and the brakes can only exert a very small force, not nearly large enough to stop the car before a collision occurs. What could the next innovation be? Look no further than Newton’s Third Law. If the car was equipped with rockets, the crash avoidance system could stop the car very quickly in any road conditions. 

Your task is to design a new frontal crash system that includes rockets. You will do so for a particular model vehicle of your choice (no repeats). 

You must include relevant energy, impulse and momentum calculations to show that your vehicle can perform within certain performance criteria that you will also define. Include a labeled sketch of your design, a discussion about limitations of your system, and highlight important design considerations that might affect safety of the vehicle occupants and bystanders.
