Advocacy and Social Transformation

/in /by

Discussion – Advocacy and Social Transformation

The concept of advocacy relates to behavior change and social transformation. As humans, we have an innate tendency toward avoiding challenge and maintaining the status quo. However, change requires us to defy that tendency and take action. As you explore the advocacy priorities that impact society and culture, you become aware of how the smallest changes in your attitudes and actions can affect the greatest changes in the world around you.

For your initial post, you will define and reflect on the factors that influence advocacy orientations and social transformation. Your post should address the following:

  • In your own words, define advocacy and describe its relevance to social change agency.
  • What aspects of your personality or lived experience inspire the advocate in you?
  • Describe why you believe resilience and coping skills are critical to the success of an advocate.
  • Describe one simple way that you could advocate for a social cause in your workplace, group, or community that would not require significant time, energy, or resources.
  • Describe how advocacy and social transformation connect to one of the following programmatic themes:
    • Self-care, Social justice, Emotional intelligence, Career connections, or Ethics

 

How does salmon mariculture affect the environment

/in /by

using the documentary and article below please answer the questions below 400 Words. How does salmon mariculture affect the environment

Documentary: https://youtu.be/D_fg1MV5YCI

Shinn 2018: https://www.nrdc.org/stories/something-fishy-trouble-atlantic-salmon-pacific-northwest

Taking salmon mariculture as an example, answer the questions below on the limits and potentials of mariculture.

  1. According to Shinn (2018) and the documentary Estado Salmonero, what are the specific problems associated with growing salmon under human control? How does salmon mariculture affect the environment, the people (including those who grow or eat salmon), and the fish (both farmed and wild salmon)?
  2. Given these problems, do we still need to eat salmon? If so, how can we address the existing problems and grow salmon differently? If not, what can be our alternatives to salmon?
  3. Let’s scale up the issue. Do you think mariculture leads us to a sustainable future of seafood? If not, what are its limits? If so, what are its potentials? How can we carefully grow fish, while minimizing ecological and social impacts?

Biostatistics Practice Quiz

Question 1

Researchers study the relationship between interpersonal violence and health in college age women. The researchers report an OR for psychological distress among abused versus non-abused women (OR 1.37 95% CI 1.03-2.21). Based on this information, you know:

  1. Abused women are significantly more likely to have psychological distress.

This is a clinically significant result

In this study women who were abuse were 37 times more likely to report psychological distress.

There is no significant difference in psychological distress for abused and non-abused women

 

Question 2

Researchers study the relationship between interpersonal violence and health in college age women. The researchers report an OR for somatic symptoms among abused versus non-abused women (OR 1.03 95% CI 0.79-1.71). Based on this information, you know:

There is no significant difference in somatic symptoms for abused and non-abused women.

Abused women are significantly more likely to have somatic sypmtoms

This is a clinically significant result

No answer text provided.

 

Question 3

A study examined the relationship between having a baccalaureate degree and passing a cultural competency exam among a group of 987 randomly selected registered nurses at your hospital. The researchers report that more registered nurses with a baccalaureate degree passed the cultural competency exam (OR 1.54, 95% CI 0.98-1.79). Interpret this information.

More nurses with a baccalaureate degree passed the exam but this was not a significant difference

Nurses with a baccalaureate degree were significantly more likely to pass the exam.

98% of the nurses passed the exam and the 2% that didn’t did not have a baccalaureate degree.

  1. This is an example of a type II error.

 

Question 4

A study examined the relationship between having a baccalaureate degree and passing a cultural competency exam among a group of 87 randomly selected registered nurses at your hospital. They report an OR of 1.73 (95% CI 0.44-2.79) for passing rates among nurses with vs. without a baccalaureate degree. If the results of the study were incorrect it would be an example of:

A type II error

A type I error

Sampling bias

Sampling error

 

Question 5

A nurse at Lakeside hospital conducts a study that reports a when there is ice on the road the risk of traumatic injuries is higher (RR=5.3, 95% CI= 2.3-8.1). You know this measure means:

Ice on the road is a significant risk factor for traumatic injuries

It is time to buy snow tires

Ice on the road is a clinically significant risk factor for traumatic injuries

Ice on the road appears to be a risk factor but it is not significant

 

Question 6

An emergency room nurse at Rochester Regional Health conducts a study that reports if an emergency travel advisory is issued during a storm the risk of traumatic injuries is impacted (RR=0.89, 95% CI=0.74-0.98). You know this means:

An emergency travel advisory is a significant protective factor decreasing traumatic injuries.

An emergency travel ban means the storm is worse and traumatic injuries increase 95%

There is no relationship between an emergency travel ban and traumatic injuires

About 89% of traumatic injuries occur when an emergency travel ban is in place

 

Question 71 pts

Your study reports that among sexually active female patients those who do not take birth control pills  (BCPs) every day are more likely to get pregnant than those who take birth control pills every day (RR=8.4, p<0.05). You know this means:

Those who don’t take BCPs each day are more than eight times as likely to get pregnant when compared to those who do take BCPs QD

The results are insignificant so you reject the null

A type I error was made

If patients do not use OCPs they will be 8x as likely to get pregnant

 

Question 81 pts

A study that examines the relationship between eating citrus fruit and getting cold sores finds a relative risk of 1.89 with a p value of 0.047. The results indicate:

Individuals who eat citrus fruit are significantly more likely to develop cold sores

There is not a significant relationship from eating citrus fruit and developing cold sores

Eating citrus fruit is a significant protective factor for developing a cold sore

If individuals have a cold sore and eat citrus fruit they can get better significantly faster
