Slowly read and annotate James Madison’s Federalist Paper Number 10. Madison’s argument highlights the central concerns and key justifications for the design of the Constitution.
Write a paper includes a brief summary of the article’s main idea(s) and your response but you need to make certain that it addresses the questions below.
The response paragraph should focus on your own ideas related to the arguments offered in the article. You may agree, disagree, challenge, critique, expand upon, synthesize and apply your own ideas regarding the concepts and the author’s critique of it. Support your argument using the text, your knowledge of American politics and outside sources (if necessary).
Each paragraph should be a minimum of 8 sentences long and written in your own words.
You need to make certain that your paper addresses ALL of the following questions.
1. What is the main concern identified in Federalist Paper No. 10?
2. Is this issue still relevant to American politics today? Use recent examples to defend your position
3.The author argues that pure (direct) democracy is unable to govern effectively. Do you agree? Why or why not?
4. The author argues that the new federal republic created by the Constitution solves the main concern that worried the founders. Do you agree with his assessment? Use examples to support your claim.

Please watch the following Ted Talk video on modern urbanization and city planning, relating to our discussions on the historic urbanization transformation at the turn of the century. Video is around 19 minutes long.
Answer the following questions after watching the following video. Answers may be short and to the point, no long paragraphs necessary for this assignment.

1) What impact occurred in Chinese cities when they shut down factories and asked people to not drive for 12 days?
2) What factor “ruled” the streets in American cities during the late 1800s and early 1900s? Was it cars on freeways or something else more personable?
3) How did the Federal Highway Act impact American cities? Think in terms of people migrating away from city centers and moving into suburbia.
4) Using Detroit as an example, during one of the Great Migrations of the African American population, how did highways impact black-owned businesses and community interaction?
5) What impact did the destruction of city trolleys and streetcars have on city populations? The speaker utilizes a term called “white flight” in relation to this trend.
6) Currently in the U.S., even in Los Angeles as a close-to-home example, is there a significant price impact when new housing is required to build parking spaces?
7) In what ways did the slow transition from walking/biking everywhere to now driving everywhere impact Americans personally with their health?
8) What counter-intuitive assessment does the speaker give in terms of giving or taking away “capacity” for driving in cities? What demand is created from this?
9) Especially in terms of offering more sustainable housing in America, very useful in California for the growing homeless populations, what recommendation does the speaker give for repurposing large parking garages?
10) Personal Commentary Question: Although the turn of the last century saw urbanization change in a number of ways for the average American, typically in terms of growing slums/poverty/disease-spreading population, it paved the way for our current model of cities. Now that we are a century into our current city design structure, some glaring problems are now occurring as a result of the last few decades of policy. If you were in charge of city-planning and engineering/design of U.S. cities in the 21st century, what implementations would you make to benefit people in this new-age urbanization transformation? Discuss freely.

Assignment Content:
Theories are made up of ideas attempting to structure thinking around a specific happening. Your readings for this week introduce the ideas of phenomena, concepts, propositions, and assumptions. This assignment is designed to help you think about those four aspects and explain the connections between each to help strengthen your understanding of
the foundations and working parts of theory.
Define the following fours term in your own words, citing at least one
source: phenomena, concept, preposition, and assumptions.
Review your definitions, and think of an example from your day to day
life or your practice experience that includes each of the four ideas.
For example, falls in clinical practice is a phenomenon you encounter.
The idea that dementia patients are at great risk for falls is a related
concept. The related proposition is that dementia is related to falling in some way. An underlying assumption is that patients with dementia do not intend to fall.
Explain how all four aspects of your example work together to form the basis for a testable theory
Cite a minimum of two sources in-text and in an APA-formatted
reference page

Consider Marcus Aurelius and Stoicism (chapter 2). Is Marcus’ view that virtue of character is the only intrinsic good plausible? Consider Marcus’ conception of the cosmos and Camus’ conception of the cosmos. Explain the radical differences between the two.

Write an essay of 10-12 pages in length, double spaced, not counting a title-page or bibliography and appendix, in formal academic style with citations.
We require Chicago Style citations, in notes-bibliography style– here is a how to video on this for you
(Links to an external site.)
You will start from an argument stated clearly in the introduction, the body paragraphs will analyze and present evidence to support it, and a short concluding paragraph will sum it up and re-emphasize your thesis.
Your thesis will appear underlined and your topic sentences will be in bold.
The paper is worth 25% of your final grade (including review) and is due on to Canvas (in Word or Pdf format) for peer review. Failure to hand in a full complete draft means not doing the peer review, and hence losing 5% of course grade. The reviewed copies you will return to your classmate on June 25 at 11:59pm, and the final revised version (to Canvas, in Word or Pdf format) is then due to me on June 27 at 11:59pm.
TOPIC:
The paper should address a particular specific set of events or themes related to WWI, but may, within these bounds, deal with any aspect of the time and war etc.
After perusing your reading list, skimming through course readings, and thinking on lectures, select a key theme that the course has focused on (see weekly topics) and then consider why this is important in a broader sense, for the war or just in terms of history more broadly.
When you have a time, place, and issue in mind, fashion an argument statement (thesis) about the significance of the particular topic/event – but try to think of something that is clear, specific, and provable.
You should consider its impact in larger terms—for instance of politics, gender, class, religion, economics, culture, health, and/or military developments. You need not cover all these, but certainly some should appear in your essay.
THESIS:
The best kind of thesis will be narrower, e.g. from Aregay: “the growth of the coffee trade may be directly related to Ethiopian Shawa’s rising power and autonomy in the early nineteenth century.”
An impossible thesis would take on a huge topic, e.g. “sugar was significant to Caribbean slavery in political, economic, cultural, and social ways.” This would make a good book, but not a good 12 page paper.
SOURCES:
Your paper must use (and cite) the following as a minimum:
2 monograph sources (single author books)
3 peer reviewed articles or anthology chapters
3 primary sources
Important note: By USE I mean that the source must PROVE some point of your argument, it is NOT sufficient to include sources for ornamentation!
You should also enter your topic into a search for books or articles on our library website: http://www.library.fullerton.edu/
(Links to an external site.)
which may lead you to interesting and useful sources for your paper.
Additionally, I am posting a short list of other web-links to Canvas where you can get primary sources. You may also analyze a contemporary image as a primary source (photo, painting, sketch, statue etc.). If you choose to do this, please clear it with me first, and append a copy of the image to the end of your paper.
And PLEASE, come see me early as possible if you are having any difficulties gathering sources.
Some ways to improve your paper: 1) ensure that all presentation items are followed, spell and grammar check your work 2) spend 20 minutes alone reading it out loud, see if it makes sense/sounds right 3) see me for clarification if you are unsure about question or terminology 4) cut-and-paste your thesis, topic sentences, and conclusion onto a separate doc; is there still a clear and convincing argument without the filler? 5) if you describe something, ask yourself how it relates to your thesis, i.e. is it useful or necessary—university level work demands analytical thinking, not regurgitation of the text 6) write this at least a day in advance, revise it after letting it sit for minimum of one day
Good luck, and I am confident that you will dazzle me with your brilliance with this paper!!

NURS6521 PHARMCO WEEK4 assignment

Symptoms of various gastrointestinal (GI) and hepatobiliary
disorders often overlap, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. For
example, symptoms such as vomiting, constipation, and bloating are non-specific
and could also be the result of underlying medical history or current
prescription drug use. As an advanced practice nurse, you could be potentially
responsible for providing care to a patient who may present with non-specific
symptoms related to the gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary systems.

In module 3 / Week 4, you will have the opportunity to
assess a patient case and ask specific
questions regarding drug interactions, potential differential diagnoses, and how
you would proceed forward with creating a treatment plan for your patient.

Case study
Patient HL comes into the clinic with the following
symptoms: nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The patient has a history of drug
abuse and possible Hepatitis C. HL is currently taking the following
prescription drugs:

Synthroid 100 mcg daily
Nifedipine 30 mg daily
Prednisone 10 mg daily

Assignment

Explain your diagnosis for the patient, including your
rationale for the diagnosis.
Describe an appropriate drug therapy plan based on the
patient’s history, diagnosis, and drugs currently prescribed.
Justify why you would recommend this drug therapy plan for
this patient. Be specific and provide examples.

Requirement:
A total of 7 – 8 paragraphs is required for the assignment (an introduction, 1-2 background paragraph(s), 4 body paragraphs, and a conclusion). It should follow the patterns for paragraph organization and sentence structure according to the class lessons, additional notes, and as available in the course pack. The thesis statement should closely resemble the model discussed in the lectures.
Resources & Evidence.( Within America and Canada)
You will be required to provide at least 15-20 sources of evidence, including expert theory/testimony/interpretation, statistics, agreement, facts, case studies, & examples.
Please strictly follow the Format that I provided.

Introduction
You are an office manager for a large private physician practice. With the recent changes to the fee for service model, to a value-based care model, it is important for the physicians to understand the role of Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) and Merit -based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). These two initiatives will greatly impact provider revenue potential and ultimately profit for the practice.
The managing partners (founding providers) of the practice have asked you to draft a memo to all the providers explaining the key differences between the change from fee-for-service and quality or value-based care model. You will need to discuss why value-based care will need to be the new focus for all providers. You should plan to discuss MACRA and MIPS. Traditionally, fee-for-service focuses on the individual patient versus quality or value-based care focuses on outcomes for community level changes.
Directions
Carefully Read:
Saunders, C. (2018). 4 Steps for Success in a Changing Payment Landscape. HFM (Healthcare Financial Management), 1–7. Retrieved from http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&AuthType=shib&db=c9h&AN=131554665&site=eds-live&custid=083-900

Based on their observations, in this scenario, and upon a careful review of the available literature, the student is to consider him or herself an office manager for a large private physician practice.
The student is to prepare a formal memo which will go out to all the provider’s in the practice.
As a reminder, the student must describe the key differences between the change from fee-for-service and quality or value-based care model.
You will need to discuss why value-based care will need to be the new focus for all providers.
You should plan to discuss MACRA and MIPS.
The document should reflect higher-level cognitive processing (analysis, synthesis, and evaluation).
Support with at least 3 references of credible or peer-reviewed sources. The in-text citations and the list of references should be consistent with the APA writing style (7th ed.). To earn the maximum number of points for the initial posting, the overall quality of the writing should be consistent with that expected of a college student and industry professional.
