Project 3

/in /by

Please note, this will need to be completed as a Power Point Presentation. Attached are the questions that were posed in project 2. I am looking for someone not to rush to put something together. 

  • Prompt

Using the question that you posed in Project 2, explain why the answer is important for understanding yourself, other people, and the world around you. In addition, you will discuss how the natural sciences have developed to help us answer these important questions. Your presentation should include speaker notes so that your instructor knows what you would be saying if you were actually giving the presentation. The critical elements of this project will be evaluated by the information in your presentation. Be sure your actual question is apparent in the presentation.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I. Why is the question you identified important to you as a member of society?

II. Explain how finding the answer to your question might impact others around you. For example, who might be most interested in the answer to your

question?

III. Explain why studying the natural sciences is valuable. In other words, what is the benefit of studying topics in the natural sciences?

IV. Describe the major developments in the natural sciences related to your topic. Use course resources to back up your discussion. 

V. Detail the major developments in scientific thinking that support the study and advancement of the natural sciences as necessary and valuable. Use

course resources to back up your discussion.

VI. How do these developments in the natural sciences and scientific thinking inform questions about the topic in your news story? In other words, what is

the relationship between major developments in the natural sciences and the questions that natural scientists are interested in?

VII. Discuss the obligation that you have as a citizen of your society to understand the science behind issues that impact you every day. For instance, how

can being a more scientifically informed member of society benefit you and your community?

Within the Discussion Board area, write 400-600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments.

Topic I pick last week.

Rain

Communication is the essential means to bring understanding among different people and share different ideas. Mostly, people may tend to show or express themselves well through communication and present themselves to the surrounding that they live. With poor or no communication, it brings unawareness and lack of update to the current trends in the community, or communication can be verbal and non-verbal depending on the audience that the information is being delivered. Oral communication is important as it delivers a message at first hand through speaking to people. The speaker conveys the correct message to their audience about certain occurrences and information. This information informs the public and keeps them dated with trends that keep occurring. Oral communication can describe or explain certain things, such as why we need the sun and why rain is important to both humans and animals. We can explain the various importance of rain through oral communication and bring a common understanding to both the audience and the speaker.

When we consider rain as a point of discussion, the communication experts may look for facts about rain and use the facts to share the information with the audience or the public. Rain can be both dangerous and important. This is especially evident when it comes to excess rains, which causes flooding of areas. The speaker explains the effects of rain and how to tackle the problems associated (Dachez & Ndobo, 2018). The speaker explains to his or her audience the importance of rain and why we require rain. Mostly, most people understand that rain is essential to plants that have been grown by people and the nourishment of the vegetation (Salla, 2019). The speaker adds to the people’s understanding of the importance of rain by adding more factual importance of the rainwater to plants, animals, and human beings.

Most speakers may come with scientific facts that the audience may not accept or that may not be accepted to be factual. Some communities may believe that specialists help call the rains, and for it to rain, they must offer sacrifices. Such activities may make the speaker and the audience not understand each other as they explain their information about rain. Most speakers involve their audience during their oral presentation and use various skills to explain well received and interesting. When the speaker talks about rain, he can include stories of thunderstorms and how rain is formed through visual representation, not just explaining from start to end. When explaining the roles of rain to their audience, the speaker ensures that everyone is well and conversant with the mode they use to convey the messages. This is essential as some people may not understand due to impairments. The speaker should also be equipped with facts about rain and its usefulness to plants and animals as most people may maintain a traditional mentality. Rain is very important and is a result of the water cycle that is brought about naturally. After explaining the usefulness of rain, most people should understand why we need rain and practice activities that do not lead to drought, such as destruction to the vegetation. The explanatory communication also informs the audience of the use of rain and that we need it to help in the vegetation growth and plantation.

Manage Discussion Entry

Hi, Su

Rain is a good topic, but  let me simply say that for it to be a strictly informative speech be sure to avoid points about climate change, which has controversy and would make it persuasive. Let me give you a bit more information about the informative speech. You need to map out 3 main points you want to make. The time limit is only 3-4 minutes long, so this might dictate the points you choose. You will need to verbally cite at least two credible sources (no blogs) during the speech.

Module 1 Assignment: Case Study Analysis

An understanding of cells and cell behavior is a critically important component of disease diagnosis and treatment. But some diseases can be complex in nature, with a variety of factors and circumstances impacting their emergence and severity.

Effective disease analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond isolated cell behavior. Genes, the environments in which cell processes operate, the impact of patient characteristics, and racial and ethnic variables all can have an important impact.

An understanding of the signals and symptoms of alterations in cellular processes is a critical step in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For APRNs, this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.

In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify cell, gene, and/or process elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.

To prepare:

By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.

The Assignment (2-page case study analysis)

Develop a 2-page case study analysis in which you:

  • Explain why you think the patient presented the symptoms described.
  • Identify the genes that may be associated with the development of the disease.
  • Explain the process of immunosuppression and the effect it has on body systems.
By Day 7 of Week 2

Submit your Case Study Analysis Assignment by Day 7 of Week 2.

Reminder: The College of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references. The sample paper provided at the Walden Writing Center provides an example of those required elements (available at https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/templates). All papers submitted must use this formatting.

In your Week 2 Assignment, you displayed data based on a categorical variable and continuous variable from a specific dataset. In Week 3, you used the same variables as in Week 2 to perform a descriptive analysis of the data. For this Assignment, you will calculate a confidence interval in SPSS for one of the variables from your Week 2 and Week 3 Assignments.

To prepare for this Assignment:

  • Review the Learning Resources related to probability, sampling distributions, and confidence intervals.
  • For additional support, review the Skill Builder: Confidence Intervals and the Skill Builder: Sampling Distributions, which you can find by navigating back to your Blackboard Course Home Page. From there, locate the Skill Builder link in the left navigation pane.
  • Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you chose) from Week 2.
  • Choose an appropriate variable from Weeks 2 and 3 and calculate a confidence interval in SPSS.
  • Once you perform your confidence interval, review Chapter 5 and 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.

For this Assignment:

Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your results and include a copy and paste of the appropriate visual display of the data into your document. If you are using the Afrobarometer Dataset, report the mean of Q1 (Age). If you are using the HS Long Survey Dataset, report the mean of X1SES.

Based on the results of your data in this confidence interval Assignment, provide a brief explanation of what the implications for social change might be.
