For this assignment, you will play the part of a reviewer for a journal and provide an in-depth review of a scientific article. The article may cover any scientific topic of your choosing. You article must be:
Peer-reviewed
An original research article (NO review articles)
From a reputable scientific journal
Published within the last five years
Your review document must include:
Your name
Your article’s citation (APA format)
Provide your article’s citation at the top of the document. All other citations should go at the end.
A 350-500-word summary of the article. Include details on all sections of the article, including: brief background, thesis statement/goal of the work, description of methods used and data collected, results, discussion, and conclusions.
An in-depth evaluation of the article. There is no word limit here – you will be graded on thoroughness of your discussion. See the bottom of this entry for a list of information that should be included in the evaluation.
**The evaluation must be clearly organized and use transitional phrases when changing topics.
***In order to make a good grade on the review, you will have to consult at least some of the literature cited in your article. (Be sure to use APA format and in-text citations, where applicable.)
I will add a grading rubric to the assignment later this week. Spelling, grammar, and syntax will count for 30% of the final assignment grade.
The scholarly review is due by 11:59 pm on FRI 02/04. Upload your assignment as a Word document or a pdf. Submission of any other file type will not be accepted.
The evaluation must address the following topics, at a minimum:
Purpose and Argument
How well is the purpose made clear in the introduction through background/context and thesis statement(s)?
How well does the abstract represent and summarize the article’s major points and argument?
How well does the objective of the experiment/study fill a need for the field?
How well is the argument/purpose articulated and discussed throughout the body of the text?
How well does the discussion maintain cohesion?
Presentation/Organization of Information
How appropriate and clear is the title of the article? How could it be changed to better prepare the reader for its contents?
Where could the author have benefited from expanding, condensing, or omitting ideas?
How clear are the author’s statements? Challenge ambiguous statements.
What underlying assumptions does the author have, and how does this affect the credibility or clarity of their article?
How objective is the author in their discussion of the topic?
How well does the organization fit the article’s purpose and articulate key goals?
Methods
How appropriate are the study design and methods for the purposes of the study?
How detailed are the methods being described? Is the author leaving out important steps or considerations?
Have the procedures been presented in enough detail to enable the reader to duplicate them?
Data
Scan and spot-check any calculations. Are the statistical methods appropriate?
Do you find any content repeated or duplicated?
How many errors of fact and interpretation does the author include? (You can check on this by looking up the references the author cites.)
What pertinent literature has the author cited, and have they used this literature appropriately?

Step 1: State a thesis statement on your topic.
This thesis statement does not have to end up being your final position on the subject, but for this workshop, it will serve as the position you will be defending. Your thesis statement is the conclusion of your argument.
Example: If my topic is the moral acceptability of capital punishment, my thesis could be that capital punishment is not morally acceptable.
Step 2: Present your main reason or reasons in favor of your thesis.
These reasons are the premises of your argument. State your argument in standard form.
Example: If my thesis is that capital punishment is not morally acceptable, and my reason is that it sometimes kills innocent human beings, then my argument would be the following:
Premise 1: Capital punishment sometimes kills innocent human beings.
Conclusion: Capital punishment is not morally acceptable.
Step 3: State the new premise (or premises) that would be needed in order to make this argument valid.
This new premise provides what is needed to link (in a valid way) the first premise(s) to the stated conclusion. For more guidance on how to do this, review the assigned sections of Chapter 3 in your textbook, and watch the videos What Is a Valid Argument? and How to Make a Sound Deductive Argument.
In the above example, the new premise needed to make the argument valid would be the following:
Premise 2: It is not morally acceptable to do anything that sometimes kills innocent human beings.
The new premise connects the first premise to the conclusion in a way that makes the argument logically valid.
Step 4: Discuss whether the new premise is true (in your view) and why.
Does it have any counter examples? If it is not true (in your view), then how could you modify it so that it is true but still supports the conclusion? If it is true (in your view), how might you respond to a likely objection to it?
In the example above, the new premise may not be true. A counterexample could be war. Wars typically kill at least some innocent human beings, but that does not make all of them morally unacceptable.
To figure out how to modify the premise, one can ask the following: What is the difference between good wars and capital punishment? Perhaps it is that good wars are necessary to prevent greater overall harm.
So, one might change the premise to, “It is not morally acceptable to do anything that sometimes kills innocent human beings, unless it is necessary to prevent greater overall harm.” This new version of the premise shows what is wrong with capital punishment without also entailing that war is always wrong.
Step 5: State the new version of the argument in standard form, adding any other premises needed to complete the reasoning (meaning to make it valid).
The new argument becomes the following:
Premise 1: Capital punishment sometimes kills innocent human beings.
Premise 2: It is not morally acceptable to do anything that sometimes kills innocent human beings unless it is necessary to prevent greater overall harm.
Premise 3: Capital punishment is not necessary to prevent greater overall harm.
Conclusion: Capital punishment is not morally acceptable.
Step 6: Discuss whether the new argument is deductively valid and whether all of its premises are true.
If your argument meets both of these requirements (namely that it is valid and all premises are true), then you have an apparently sound argument; great job! If not, then go back to the steps above and repeat until you have a sound argument and revise Step 5 until it meets both requirements. (so that what you post under Step 5 above is your final, sound version).
Step 7: Once you have an (apparently) sound argument, present an objection to it.
Imagine for a moment that you are a smart person with the opposite perspective on this issue. What would be your best objection to the argument that you just gave? It can be an objection to the truth of one of the premises or to the validity of the reasoning, or it can be a counter argument intended to override your argument. In any case, express here what you take that best objection to be.
The Creating a Sound Argument Workshop paper,
Should be 1 to 2 pages in length.
Must include a separate title page with the following:
Title of workshop in bold font
Space should appear between the title and the rest of the information on the title page.
Student’s name
Name of institution (University of Arizona Global Campus)
Course name and number
Instructor’s name

The collection of evidence is an
activity that occurs with an endgame in mind. For example, law
enforcement professionals collect evidence to support a decision to
charge those accused of criminal activity. Similarly, evidence-based
healthcare practitioners collect evidence to support decisions in
pursuit of specific healthcare outcomes.
In this Assignment, you will identify an issue
or opportunity for change within your healthcare organization and
propose an idea for a change in practice supported by an EBP approach.
To Prepare:
Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you critically appraised
in Module 4, related to your clinical topic of interest and PICOT.
Reflect on your current healthcare organization and think about
potential opportunities for evidence-based change, using your topic of
interest and PICOT as the basis for your reflection.
Consider the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an audience.
The Assignment: (Evidence-Based Project)
Part 4: Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change
Create an 8- to 9-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:
Briefly describe your healthcare organization, including its culture
and readiness for change. (You may opt to keep various elements of this
anonymous, such as your company name.)
Describe the current problem or opportunity for change. Include in
this description the circumstances surrounding the need for change, the
scope of the issue, the stakeholders involved, and the risks associated
with change implementation in general.
Propose an evidence-based idea for a change in practice using an EBP
approach to decision making. Note that you may find further research
needs to be conducted if sufficient evidence is not discovered.
Describe your plan for knowledge transfer of this change, including
knowledge creation, dissemination, and organizational adoption and
implementation.
Explain how you would disseminate the results of your project to an
audience. Provide a rationale for why you selected this dissemination
strategy.
Describe the measurable outcomes you hope to achieve with the implementation of this evidence-based change.
Be sure to provide APA citations of the supporting evidence-based peer reviewed articles you selected to support your thinking.
Add a lessons learned section that includes the following:
A summary of the critical appraisal of the peer-reviewed articles you previously submitted
An explanation about what you learned from completing the Evaluation
Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template (1-3
slides)

It would be hard to disagree with the way in which one scholar assessed the importance of the media: “The media have the potential to dramatically impact the way that most people view world events. Since we do not witness most events live and in person, we rely upon the media to show us a picture of the world that would otherwise be impossible.”
Think of any political event that has been reported in the media (online, television, newspapers) within the last two weeks overseas which involved the United States in one way or another (no domestic events can be used for this assignment; rather, please focus on international events only).
1. Discuss the impact it has had upon people – did it demonstrate how the power of the media influences the political agenda? 30 points
2. Compare and contrast how said event was discussed by the left- and right-wing media: what were the major differences in how the event was reported and analyzed? Was the coverage more factual and intellectual or rather lowbrow and biased? 70 points
Please be sure to cite the sources you use for the assignment; otherwise a significant point deduction will be applied. Please be sure to use at least one left-wing and one right-wing source for the assignment.

In Module 2, we explored inequities in medicine, medical knowledge, health and health care. We also examined multiple radical health movements (Women’s Health Movement & Black Panther Party) and the strategies they utilized that were designed to end those inequities. Today, inequities continue to exist for many groups and in many areas connected to medicine, medical knowledge, health and health care.
Thinking as an ES/WGQS scholar-activist, what should today’s radical health movements learn from these earlier efforts?
Strategies/approaches
Identify and describe at least 2 strategies/approaches utilized by the Women’s Health Movement that today’s radical health movements should emulate (use as model).
Identify and describe at least 2 strategies/approaches utilized by the Black Panther Party that today’s radical health movements should emulate (use as model).
What’s different and what’s the same between the Women’s Health Movement & Black Panther Party strategies/approaches and what can we learn from this?
Failures or problems or un-successes
Then, identify and describe at least 1 thing that today’s radical health movements can learn from failures or problems or un-successes by the Women’s Health Movement.
Then, identify and describe at least 1 thing that today’s radical health movements can learn from failures or problems or un-successes by Black Panther Party health activism.
What’s different and what’s the same between the Women’s Health Movement & Black Panther Party failures or problems or un-successes and what can we learn from this?
Overall, make a recommendation for how today’s radical health movements should or should not engage with past radical health movements as part of their organizing. (You can make recommendations in general or to a specific radical health movement.)
This answer should be at least 750 words. Please include a word count.
Include at least 2 quotations from course materials in each answer – note: these and other quotations do not count towards your total word count. Use the file below for women’s health movement

Module 1 Discussion Question: Development of the Modern IPE System

In this era of globalization, the fates of countries are increasingly interconnected such that an economic crisis in a single countries can spread quickly and effect the entire globe. In light of this, should countries take steps to withdraw from international trade and finance, or would such a move be counterproductive?
