Advertising and Public Relations: MKTG320

QUESTION

Assignment Details

There is a difference between public relations, known today as earned media, and advertising, also known as paid media. Both disciplines are important in the overall marketing campaign of a brand, whether it is a product, business, company, service, person, idea, or place. Social media has also become an important way to advertise and publicize anything.

Key Concept Snapshot: Advertising is paid media, meaning the marketer crafts and pays for the message that they want to present to the audience. The marketer controls the published or presented message.

Key Concept Snapshot: Public relations is earned media, meaning the information being marketed through persuasive messaging is earned and the public develops its own opinions about the product, service, idea, and business and beyond. The marketer does not control the published or presented message.

There are several advantages to using both disciplines in crafting and marketing a message to sell products and services. To prepare for this assignment, do the following:

Create your assignment.

Scenario

Question

The Prostate Dataset

The prostate dataset comes from a study on 97 men with prostate cancer who were due to receive radical prostatectomy.

The data contain the following variables:

lcavol: log(cancer volume in cm3)

lweight: log(prostate weight in gm)

age: age in years

  • lbph: log(benign prostatic hyperplasia amount)

svi: seminal vesicle invasion

lcp: log(capsular penetration)

Gleason: Gleason score

  • pgg45: percentage Gleason scores 4 or 5

lpsa: log(prostate specific antigen in ng/mL)

Question 1

  • Validate that the prostate data frame contains 97 observations.
    Hint: First install the faraway package (if you haven’t already) as instructed on Lesson 1, Slide 49. The following R statement will load the prostate data frame:

data(“prostate”, package = “faraway”).

Use the nrow() function to see how many overvaluations (rows) the data frame has. For example: the following statement prints the number of observations in the car data frame: nrow(cars).

  • Question 2

Calculate descriptive statistics of each of the variables.
Hint: Use the summary() function. For example: summary(cars).

Question 3

  • Create a new data frame that includes the following variables: lcavol, lweight, age and lpsa.
    Use this new data frame for all questions below.

Hint: In the following example, we select two variables (agegp and alcgp) from the esoph data frame and name the new data frame esophSubDf

esophSubDf <- esoph[c(“agegp”, “alcgp”)]

  • Question 4

Calculate descriptive statistics of each of the variables using the new data frame.

Question 5

  • Create a scatter plot matrix for all the variables using the new data frame.

Hint: Use the pairs() function (see Lesson 2, Slide 50).

Question 6

  • Create a (Pearson) correlation matrix for all the variables.
    Hint: Use the cor() function (see Lesson 2, Slide 48).

Question 7

Show the same matrix again, but round the correlations (use two decimal places).

  • Hint: Use the round() function. The following example calculates the correlation matrix for the cars data frame and rounds the numbers:
    round(cor(cars),2)

Question 8

Create a regression model:
The predictor variable (X) should be lpsa.
The outcome variable (Y) should be lcavol.
Show the summary of the model.

Hint: Use the lm() and summary() functions (see Lesson 2, Slide 51).

Question 9

Visualize the two variables and the model you just created by doing the following:

Create a scatter plot. Put lcavol in the y-axis and lpsa in the x-axis. Include the regression line and label the axis.

Hint: See Lesson 2, Slide 52.

Question 10

Update the regression model by adding a second predictor: age
Show the regression model summary

QUESTION

Off-label prescribing is when a physician gives you a drug that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved to treat a condition different than your condition. This practice is legal and common. In fact, one in five prescriptions written today are for off-label use.

—Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality

Psychotropic drugs are commonly used for children and adolescents to treat mental health disorders, yet many of these drugs are not FDA approved for use in these populations. Thus, their use is considered “off-label,” and it is often up to the best judgment of the prescribing clinician. As a PMHNP, you will need to apply the best available information and research on pharmacological treatments for children in order to safely and effectively treat child and adolescent patients. Sometimes this will come in the form of formal studies and approvals for drugs in children. Other times you may need to extrapolate from research or treatment guidelines on drugs in adults. Each individual patient case will need to be considered independently and each treatment considered from a risk assessment standpoint. What psychotherapeutic approach might be indicated as an initial treatment? What are the potential side effects of a particular drug?

For this Assignment, you consider these questions and others as you explore FDA-approved (“on label”) pharmacological treatments, non-FDA-approved (“off-label”) pharmacological treatments, and nonpharmacological treatments for disorders in children and adolescents.

Your Instructor will assign a specific disorder for you to research for this Assignment. (  Autism Spectrum Disorder )

Use the Walden library to research evidence-based treatments for your assigned disorder in children and adolescents. You will need to recommend one FDA-approved drug, one off-label drug, and one nonpharmacological intervention for treating this disorder in children and adolescents.

  • THE ASSIGNMENT
  • Recommend one FDA-approved drug, one off-label drug, and one nonpharmacological intervention for treating your assigned disorder in children and adolescents.

Explain the risk assessment you would use to inform your treatment decision making. What are the risks and benefits of the FDA-approved medicine? What are the risks and benefits of the off-label drug?

Explain whether clinical practice guidelines exist for this disorder and, if so, use them to justify your recommendations. If not, explain what information you would need to take into consideration.

QUESTION

Please answer this question: 

“Life under autocracy is nasty, brutish, and short.” Do you agree with this statement? Does life under autocracy differ fundamentally from life under democracy? If so, in what ways? Be sure to consider political life (and not only social life) when answering this question.

·Write a response to the question of 6-8 pages in length using 12-point font. 

·Grading will be based on the clarity of the thesis statement, reasoned support of the argument, and inclusion of material from the course. 

·The use of non-class material is allowed but discouraged. 

·You may use your notes, course readings, and lecture slides.

·Do not include a bibliography, but cite sources using the Harvard citation system—e.g., “The sky is blue (Nellis 2023, p. 45).” 

·Rewards for being ambitious: think creatively across classes (don’t focus on material from a single class, or even only two classes)

Question

One mechanism of beginning to gain familiarity with determinants of health within a community is to perform a windshield survey.  This can be accomplished by either driving or walking through your community of interest (My community of interest for practicum setting is People with developmental disability that lives in a group home. They also attend day program), optionally spending some time in public spaces in observation, and assessing services related to health, economics, and social structure of the environment. 

Rector and Stanley (2022) provide guidelines for a Community Familiarization (Windshield) Survey (Figure 15-3, p. 433) that should be used as the outline for your assessment.  Please become acquainted with the survey categories prior to conducting the assessment. You will notice that the guidelines also asks at several points for information that you may need to research outside of your observation ( e.g. rates of unemployment).
 

Directions:
 

Compose a scholarly paper to summarize your windshield survey.  Write the paper in APA style, using the windshield survey guidelines on p 433 of our textbook and the following guidelines for structure of the paper. Note that there a specific points that should be addressed in the analysis/conclusion. Include a properly formatted title page and reference page, in addition to 4-6 pages of content. Support your content with at least five scholarly references. Primary sources of community data ( e.g., US Census) will be considered as scholarly references for this assignment. 

Components of the Paper:

Title Page –      create a page header with the page number in the upper right corner; omit      the running head

Body of the      paper

Use       the Title of the Paper as a level 1 heading for your       introductory paragraph. This heading is centered, in title case,       with a bold font.

Physical       Environment (Level       1 heading)

Economic       Considerations (Level       1 heading)

Services (Level 1 heading)

Social       Structure (Level       1 heading)

Analysis       and Conclusion (Level       1 heading)

From your        observations: what community level determinants stand out to you as        potential contributors to population health, community and /or public        health. How so? (please choose 3) Do these determinants have the        potential to affect health equity? How so? Do these determinants have        the ability to affect preparation or impact for disaster or public        health emergency*? How so?

Exhibition Review #1

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

If you have not read the PDF of the Sylvan Barnet chapter on writing an exhibition review on the previous page, go back and read that now.

The arts are all forms of communication, so they need audiences. The conventional way visual artists have shared their work is to collect it and put it on display in one or more rooms, using walls, pedestals, the floor, or any manner of framing device. Once a member of the public becomes familiar with the conventions of museum or gallery display, they can begin to evaluate the way particular collections of artworks have been put together for their gaze. In this first Exhibition Review assignment you will take your new knowledge and analytic skills to a local gallery or museum exhibition, and compose an informed review.

Instructions

Select one of the free local exhibitions listed below to attend, then follow these steps:

Take a selfie at the exhibition in front of the title wall to prove you’ve attended. 

Take careful notes while walking through. How has the curator organized the space for your gaze and movement? Is there information about the concept of the show or the individual works? Too much information or too little? Note where the curator seems to have put works in conversation with each other. What works stand out or play supporting roles? Consider the lighting, the color of the walls or other staging elements, and the physical relationship you have with the works of art, which has been carefully created for you to experience.

Draft an exhibition review that has the following elements:

  1. A title that engages the reader
  2. An opening paragraph that informs the reader on the premise of the show
  3. A thesis that consists of your argument about the value of the exhibition as a whole (not whether it was good or bad)

Body paragraphs explaining the significance of what is on display (What stands out and why? Are the objects telling a story? Are they rarely seen by the public? etc); QUESTION of the installation, The setting; High points in the exhibition and weaker choices (if there are any); 

  • A conclusion that summarizes your evaluation

Question

Relate to another journal article

  • Peer response to Jenna
  • The most plausible diagnosis presented in this case appears to be benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). While the HPI and PE lead directly to BPH, there are other diagnoses to consider to properly diagnose and treat this 65-year-old gentleman. The following diagnoses should be considered: cystitis, bladder calculi, and neurogenic bladder (Cash et al., 2021). The patient does not appear to be exhibiting signs of infection; however, it would be prudent to order a urinalysis to definitively rule out infection as the cause of the patient’s symptoms. Cystitis can be ruled out due to the patient not having any pain with urination, bladder discomfort, or ejaculatory pain (Clemens et al., 2022). The diagnosis of bladder calculi is also easily ruled out without the presence of hematuria, cramping or abdominal pain, nausea, fever, chills, and malaise (Ferreria Fontenelle & Dias Sarti, 2019). Lastly, neurogenic bladder can also be ruled out due any concern for a neurological condition causing neurogenic bladder. While the prompt does not provide a full detailed history of the patient, it can be assumed the patient is not experiencing these symptoms because of an associated neurological condition. Based off the frequent urination without burning, pain, hematuria, or difficulty voiding, there is high suspicion for an enlarged prostate obstructing or occluding the urethra in the case of benign prostatic hypertrophy.

           Multiple treatment modalities exist for BPH; however, a practitioner should always evaluate the severity of the condition and start modestly. The patient has already tried to initiate lifestyle modifications to improve his symptoms. The literature recommends limiting fluids through restriction, avoiding diuretics, and reducing trigger substances (Sandhu et al., 2024). In this case, lifestyle modifications have failed to improve symptoms. Treatment should progress to the inclusion of an alpha blocker such as terazosin, dozazosin, silodosin, Tamsulosin, or alfuzosin (Sandhu et al., 2024). The most common medication is Tamsulosin. The prescription would be Tamsulosin 0.4 mg orally once a day, a quantity total of 30 with 3 refills. The patient should follow up in two to three weeks to assess the improvement of symptoms and any need for medication adjustment (Cash et al., 2021).
