Question

THE BOOK YOU WILL NEED : Human Geography: People Places, and Culture by Fouberg, Murphy, and DeBlij, 12th Edition, Wiley.

1. Study the cultural landscape of San Francisco’s Chinatown in Figure 1.14 (in the textbook). Using the geographic concept scale, consider what role San Francisco’s Chinatown plays at three different scales: locally (in San Francisco), nationally (along the west coast of the U.S.), and regionally (as part of the larger Pacific Ocean region). If you were to walk around San Francisco’s Chinatown, what might you see in the cultural landscape that reflected this Chinatown’s identity locally, nationally, and regionally?

2. Look at the map pattern in Figure 1.26E (in the textbook). Note that this map is more “zoomed in” than 1.26 B, C, and D (in the textbook), and the three Hawai’ian islands to the farthest north, Nihau, Kauai, and Oahu, are placed to the west of the other four islands so that you can see more detail on the map of each island. Describe the pattern of likely mosquito habitats on the map. Then, describe the relationship between mosquito habitats and populated areas. Finally, imagine you are advising the government of Hawai’i who wants to conduct a pilot study on the island where dengue will have the biggest impact on people. Which island should Hawai’i use for its pilot study and why?

3. Geographers who undertake fieldwork keep their eyes open to the world around them and, through practice, become adept at reading the cultural landscape. Take a walk around your campus or neighborhood and try reading the cultural landscape. Choose something that you see and ask yourself, “What is that and why is it there?”

ENGL 1040 Reading Literature: Coming of Age

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

Purpose
The purpose of this essay is to explore the novel Paper Towns by paying attention to the story’s use of literary devices. Writers will use their own opinions and reasoning, coupled with research, to craft a meaningful commentary on the novel.

Content
Writers may choose one of the following prompts for their essay:

1. Watch the film version of Paper Towns (20th Century Fox, 2015) and compare and contrast the book with the movie. Writers may consider differences or similarities in theme, characters, plot, or other elements. Ultimately, the essay will decide which genre is most effective in getting the message of the story across, and how meaning is changed with the difference of genres.

2. Discuss the genre of Coming of Age literature in general, by using scholarly research that explores or defines this genre. Writers will then use Paper Towns as an example, showing how the novel highlights or challenges aspects of the genre.

Format
This essay should be between 3-5 pages (double-spaced, size 12 font) in length. Writers may choose to use either MLA or APA, but must pick one and cannot blend the two.

All essay prompts will use Paper Towns as a source, and additional research will be required depending on the prompt used. All essays must use at least three total sources: Paper Towns + a minimum of two additional sources.

Writers may choose the types and content of sources they feel best support and/or add background to their ideas. Writers should take care to find high-quality, verifiable sources. Scholarly sources are highly preferred (and in the case of prompt 3, they are required). The JSTOR database (jstor.org) is recommended.

Quality Healthcare: Measuring NP Performance

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

Preparing the Assignment

The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) was formed to ensure the quality of patient care and measurement of patient outcomes with set standards.

Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a performance measurement tool used by millions of health insurance plans. There are 6 domains of care:

  • Effectiveness of Care
  • Access/Availability of Care
  • Experience of Care
  • Utilization and Risk Adjusted Utilization
  • Health Plan Descriptive Information
  • Measures Collected Using Electronic Clinical Data Systems

You may access the 6 domains of care by clicking this link:

(NCQA, n.d. https://www.ncqa.org/hedis/Links to an external site.)

As an APN, productivity will be an important measurement for the practice to determine reimbursement and salary. Fee-for-service practices will require a set number of patients per day to maintain productivity. A capitated practice will require the APN to have a large panel of patients but also will focus on controlling costs. This can be accomplished through effective primary care that is accessible, convenient for the patients, and has a method of measuring the quality of care.

Write a formal paper in APA format with a title page, introduction, the three required elements below, conclusion, and reference page.

You are now employed as an NP in primary care. Choose one performance measure from one of the six domains of care, i.e. Adult BMI Assessment, Prenatal, and Postpartum care, etc.

Develop three different patient interventions for that one performance measure and how you would specifically implement the intervention and measure the outcomes for that particular performance measure in clinical practice.

How would these primary care interventions result in improved patient outcomes and healthcare cost savings?

How can these interventions result in improved NP patient ratings?

does the concept of the “third side”

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

Thinking about your Week 6 project and the conflict you chose to analyze, does the concept of the “third side” seem relevant to the international negotiation process? Why or why not?

I look forward to reading your posts and providing feedback on the discussions! I may ask follow-up questions after you have presented the initial post, 

feedback 

This is an interesting paper on the Arab-Israeli conflict and the negotiation efforts of the international community. This conflict is categorized as an “ethno-territorial conflict,” meaning that one group’s gain in territory results in the other group’s loss. The Israelis are firm believers in a unitary state, while the Palestinians advocate for a partitioned country. Unfortunately, neither side is willing to accept the compromise solution or consociationalism, which makes the conflict incredibly challenging to resolve. In addition to this, the conflicting ethnic and religious identities of various sectarian groups living in the region add to the complexity of the situation. If one group prevails, the other group’s territorial identity will be erased. To complicate matters further, non-state actors such as Hamas and Hezbollah make finding a negotiated solution even more difficult. In my opinion, it would be beneficial to allocate more space for the analytical aspects of future discussions and less for descriptive ones.

With all that said, In the future, please, use more space for the analytical part and less for the descriptive one. This could have been done by incorporating the points on the relevance of Steven Walt’s “too-hard box” to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Most importantly, you need to use your own analysis and less points borrowed and paraphrased from others.

INSTRUCTIONS

? Articles must present original research (quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, or
meta-analysis are acceptable). Do not choose articles that argue a position but don’t
present new research. These are important articles but don’t help you build the skills you
will need to successfully complete a dissertation
? When composing your reviews, practice using graduate professional writing. Do not
begin with “This article is about…” and don’t relate your personal stories.
? Current APA format must be used, including:
o A title page,
o A reference page, and
o Writing in third-person. Avoid “I” statements or personal stories. The reader
knows something is your opinion because you are the one writing it. You don’t
need to statements like “I think that …”, or “I believe …”
? Critiques must be 2–5 pages in length, not including the title page or reference page.
The following general format should be followed:
? Statement of the problem: What is the issue this research is trying to address? You need
to make a case for why the research is important based upon the background information
provided in the article. For example, when reviewing an article about a new reading
methods instruction you could report poor student reading outcomes.
? Statement of a research question: The research question is almost always found in the
paragraph directly before the methods section. The research question is a clear, one-
sentence explanation of what the researchers wanted to find out in their research. How
will this research expand what we know about SPED?
? Methods: In this section, you need to explain how the researchers conducted their study
to answer the research question. Who participated in the study? What did they do? How
was the data collected?

Disucssion Board: Presidents’ Foreign Policy Decisions

This week you will watch a video, titled  “The Most Dangerous Man In America  This video should be free through Kanopy – you should not have to pay to watch this. If you have trouble accessing it, then email your Professor immediately. 

The Most Dangerous Man isn’t a gangster or a terrorist, but rather he is a whistleblower, Daniel Ellsberg.  A whistleblower is someone who tells the truth about another’s illegal behavior.  In this instance Mr. Ellsberg worked for a military contractor, Rand Corporation. This business was responsible for a study of the Vietnam War, which concluded in 7,000 pages that president after president was told that the war in Vietnam was unwinnable, but each one of them continued to send thousands of troops and spend billions of dollars to keep communism from spreading.  Mr. Ellsberg was so horrified by what he read that he leaked the whole study to The New York Times.  Once you watch the film, answer the questions below in a discussion post.  If you use any other resources in your discussion post be sure to include  correct MLA citation format for

each source.Links to an external site. Additionally, this response needs to be your own, original thoughts. You may not use Artificial Intelligence to answer this post, if you do you will receive a zero. 

Questions: 

Summarize the film.

What shocked you most about the revelations in the Pentagon Papers?

Who should declare war, Congress or the President? And, why?

What did you learn?
