Mike Adams is the editor of The Health Ranger. Adams has lost many family members to cancer and believes we need to reconstruct how we view science in order to heal patients or prevent disease. He proposes that we are leaving out many possibilities when it comes to “cause and effect”. Visit his Health Ranger site at:

Molly Payne Wynne Biography | genius home works

/in /by

Molly is the Monitoring Coordinator for the Penobscot River Restoration Trust, an unprecedented collaborative effort to restore 11 species of sea-run fish in New England’s second largest river, the Penobscot. Molly has pursued a variety of research topics in fisheries; most recently, river herring habitat use patterns through otolith chemistry at the University of Southern Maine and otolith growth and microchemistry as a research assistant at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) in Syracuse, NY. She loves the water and exploring Maine and awaits her next scientific adventure.

Materials to Review
While marine biology (and many other types of field science) is often seen as a glamorous job where people catch sharks and play with dolphins all day; Molly describes some of the not-so-nice aspects of research in aquatic field biology. Listen to this Story Collider podcast

Compose your 250 word or more reflection on the following questions. This is due by Thursday at 11:59 in Week 4. No credit will be given for posts after.

  1. What was most interesting or most confusing about Ms. Wynne and her work?
  2. What did you learn from Ms. Wynne’s experience about how research is conducted in aquatic biology?
  3. What did you learn from Ms. Wynne’s story about fish biology?
  4. What do the podcast and the background information on Ms. Wynne tell you about the types of people that do science.

Motivation, structure, and cohesiveness of argument

/in /by

Analyse college-level texts to distinguish motivation, structure, and cohesiveness of argument.
• Articulate the main message in a piece of communication
• Outline the structure of a piece of communication
• Summarize a piece of communication

An effective summary demonstrates a student’s ability to provide a concise and accurate rephrasing of a text with enough information so that the reader can understand the main idea and purpose of the original text based on the summary.

The effectiveness of body camera technology in law enforcement.

/in /by

Your department’s leadership, to improve community/ police relations, is examining the effectiveness of body camera technology in law enforcement. Your Captain has the task to gather data on camera technology and how it is used in contemporary policing. He must present his findings to the command staff in three weeks. The Captain has tapped you as the resident expert on using body cameras in law enforcement. You are instructed to research the body camera issue and gather information on best practices and policies. Your Captain is particularly interested in how body cameras affect police decision-making during enforcement? What is the effect body cameras have on citizens’ complaints? What are the logistical issues associated with housing recordings and storing the technology? How was criminal behavior (if any) impacted after implementing body cameras? What concerns did union leadership have with implementing body camera technologies?

Patient’s obstetrician recommendations | genius home works

/in /by

Background: So, this is our patient below:
Your patient is Sara Smith, 22-year-old single woman, pregnant with her first child, working full-time at a local beauty supply store a few blocks from her house, making minimum wage (currently $14.14 in Oakland), earning $29,411 a year. Her job does not provide benefits. She lives in East Oakland and a small apartment for $1000 a month above Reina’s Restaurant at 9098 International Blvd, Oakland. Currently takes the bus when she needs to go further than walking distance and does not own a car. She is concerned how she will support herself after the baby comes, given the cost of childcare. (FYI- Oakland’s minimum wage is one of the highest in the country. CA’s minimum is $12.00/hr., and the Federal minimum is $7.25/hr.)

Education has been strongly linked to health outcomes. Our patient’s obstetrician recommends that our patient go back to school to get her GED. She went to a local public high school but dropped out to work full time after 11thgrade because her mother had been in car accident and had lost her job. Our patient will be sending her child to local public schools like the ones she attended. Research educational attainment and reproductive outcomes. Investigate school funding, teacher tenure, class size, school appearance, resources, graduation rates. Research how someone finishes their GED, especially when working and raising a child. Go visit these schools. Talk to people working there about their challenges. What is the community doing to work on this issue? Compare educational resources that our patient will access to those available in people in a high-income neighborhood.

So, we are not going physically to visit these schools and other areas because of the COVID so research everything online around that area.

Evidence-based practice project proposal | genius home works

/in /by

Write a 500-750 word paper on your proposed problem for your evidence-based practice project proposal. Complete the following:

  1. Identify a problem, issue or concern in a professional health care setting that you would like to address for your evidence-based practice project. Research current literature for evidence-based solutions to ensure there is sufficient evidence to support your proposed topic. Note: As you research, you may find there is very little research to support your topic and you will need to choose a new topic. Remember, in order for this to be an evidence-based project proposal, you must have enough evidence to introduce this as a practice change. If you find that you do not have enough supporting evidence to change a practice, then further research would need to be conducted.
  2. Once you have determined there is sufficient research for your chosen topic, develop an initial reference list of five sources to demonstrate there is support for your evidence-based practice project. Follow the “Steps to an Efficient Search to Answer a Clinical Question” box in Chapter 3 of the textbook. Refer to the “Search Method Example” as the format in which to compile this data. The majority of references on your list should be research articles. However, national sources such as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Department of Health and Human Resources (HHS), or the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and others may be used when you are gathering statistics to provide the rationale for the problem.
  3. Provide a summary of the problem, include relevant background information, the current impact of the problem or issue in health care, and why it deserves attention. Provide rationale and support using professional literature sources.
  4. Describe the practice setting where the identified issue or problem is occurring. Explain the current impact to the practice setting and the potential consequence if the problem or issue were to continue.
  5. Identify the stakeholders who will be involved in this project. What organizations are concerned about, may benefit from, or are affected by this proposal? List the interested parties, patients, students, agencies, Joint Commission, etc.
  6. State the purpose of the project and project objectives in specific, realistic, and measurable terms. The objectives should address what is to be gained. This will focus your PICOT statement as you develop and refine it over the next few weeks. Remember, measurements need to be taken before and after the evidence-based practice is introduced to identify the expected changes.

Representations of Women and Gender in Art

/in /by

The purpose of this project is to examine representations of gender over time and place in order to learn about gender norms and roles, social status, and perceptions of beauty. The sources are online exhibits at many museums and websites. I did a wide-ranging google search of virtual exhibitions, so this is a random sampling.

view exhibits on three of the sites provided below. Examine representations of women as well as presentations of gender. Some of the sites also address race. Identify a theme (bodies, gendered roles – such as motherhood, fashion, race and relationships with white women, body and identity). The way you approach the themes is up to you. What do you see when you look at the images? What was the artist attempting to convey about womanhood, gendered relationships, female bodies and sexuality? How are women posed? How are they touched?

Challenges with Maintaining Weight Loss

/in /by

Compare your habits to those that have been shown to be successful at maintaining weight loss according to the National Weight Control Registry and to practice reading and evaluating research studies.

According to the National Weight Control Registry there are many factors that help people to keep weight off once they have lost it. Some of these factors include: maintaining a low calorie, low fat diet; eating breakfast every day; weighing themselves at least once a week; watching less than 10 hours of TV per week; exercising about 1 hour per day.

  1. Looking at your own diet and lifestyle habits, comment on how successful you would be at maintaining weight loss. Be sure to comment on your success at each of the habits listed above plus any additional factors listed in the National Weight Control Registry.
  2. If you were trying to maintain weight loss, what additional barriers do you think you might encounter? Describe a minimum of three barriers in detail.
