This weeks reading comes to us from the long tradition of performing arts, theater, and performance studies more generally. For this Discussion Board, you should reflect on what it means to act and to enact emotions.
How I would approach such a conversation is as follows: Address first: Are the two verbs different? If Im acting am I also enacting? How do you know? Then: How do your answers correspond to the action and enacting of emotion? Do I act angry? Or am I enacting a feeling by showing my anger in performative ways? Lastly: Why does it matter? Think of issues like authenticity, identity, truth, and morality.
To receive full credit, you should respond to the above with no less than 250 words and respond to at least two peers posts by Saturday.

Please read and strictly follow:

The essay/term paper (essay itself and please include a formal outline of the essay in a separate file) must be an in-depth, comprehensive analysis of the topic (stated below). I have noted specific issues that you must respond to, but those issues are not intended to be the total issues you should analyze; the essay should be a comprehensive summary of the topic, with key issues and threshold values well identified. The purpose of your paper is to be read by other medical school students to understand the topic.

The essay should be based on the focused depth of analysis, logical organization, and support (appropriate citations) for the assigned topic. Please do not proceed off-topic, or only respond to a portion of the assigned topic. As explicit instructions: do not spend / waste time presenting any unrelated issues (such as religious views, specific / individual cases, medical symptoms, diagnoses, any opinions, other specific countries views / actions / laws, etc.), specific diseases, etc.; stay exclusively focused upon the assigned topic which is a human medical ETHICAL analysis for the Philippines.

I am attaching to this order four (4) exemplar essays (not including their Attachment files). This is the level of quality, organization, and detail that will be expected. Below, I note their assigned topics;

(Carillo) Identify (with citations & attachments) all of the rules, laws, & guidance for human medical gene / genome editing (e.g., CRISPR) in the Philippines. Distinguish ethical issues re treatment of a living person (e.g., for infection / hereditary disease) vs. human germline modification (e.g., designer babies). What non-Philippine model(s) would work best for the Philippines, and why (not just your opinion)?

(Solatorio) The UK uses a QALY method for determining How Much Money (resources) should be expended on patients (HMMP) in their national health system (individuals may also purchase more resources) see: “A Health Economic perspective on COVID-19″ above. With Phil. Health now being provided to all Filipinos, what would be an appropriate formula and cap for determining a Philippines HMMP? Does any country of equivalent economics and population use such a system as you propose?

(Cantero) Identify (with citations & attachments) all of the rules, laws, & guidance defining vulnerable persons regarding human medical research in the Philippines, and how such must be treated. Provide a footnoted tabular list (1) defining each and every group deemed to be vulnerable regarding medical research, (2) noting which Philippines organization(s) must be involved in ethical oversight for medical research on such defined vulnerable persons, and (3) then distinguish the group-entries in the Philippines List from the WHO list. What substantive changes are necessary in the Philippines List(s), and why (not just your opinion)? Rules regarding how vulnerable persons must be treated in Philippines Human research may be found in: National Ethical Guidelines for Health and Health-Related Research 2017 (Version 2, Mar 2018) (copy attached) hyperlink at: http://www.ethics.healthresearch.ph/index.php/2012-04-19-05-10-10/297-2017-national-ethical-guidelines-revision.

(Apostol) Identify (with citations & attachments) all of the rules, laws, & guidance for medical social responsibility in the Philippines; then summarize how each of the NIH, Hospitals, and individual physicians are required and guided to follow. Is the Philippines system effective / efficient? What substantive changes are necessary, and why (not just your opinion)?

This essay/term paper must be focused (100%) on Philippines or International Body that the Philippines has membership with (e.g., United Nations, WHO) laws, policy, rulings, procedure, standards, and implementations, do not waste time discussing other countries practices, unless those rules directly affect or define Philippines practice (e.g., Philippines ratified treaties).

All stated / noted facts must have citations to substantive / scholarly references (not to opinions or News articles). Do not use the terms: may,” “might,” “could,” “would,” and “seem” or their adverbial counterparts, “possibly” and “probably”. Please study the facts and then declare your conclusions in clear and definitive terms with citations to scholarly secondary or primary sources. (adapted from http://www.usu.edu/markdamen/WritingGuide/02defin.htm)

Avoid citations to tertiary references. Cite only references that you have actually read and understand, a few appropriate citations are worth greater value than many poorly considered citations. For ALL references please attach (not counted in the page limit) a clear version in PDF format. For all references and attachments, you also must cite to a current and valid hot-link / hyperlink (https://wikidiff.com/hotlink/hyperlink) of the web-page(s) where it was obtained.

For the PAPER FORMAT: normal (1.5) spacing, margins at 1, indents at 0, 10-12 point Times New Roman font (headings at 14-16 point); The noted attachments MUST be attached with the essay and outline. Please also take note any of the following errors: (a) mislabeled or unreadable file, (b) improper spacing/font, (c) insufficient References section (must contain hyperlinks to each document found on-line), (d) use of any personal pronoun referring to the reader or author, (e) any rhetorical question(s), (f) any undefined acronyms or any contractions.

Essay length must be between 5-7 pages, which will not include space taken by any/all images, photos, tables, charts, graphs, cover page (if any), quotes, or the References section, (g) you must not have cited ANY tertiary references, other than merely to cite included photos, tables, or graphs.

I am also attaching a Medical School Resource List as an aid. I am also sending some materials related to this topic, however those materials were insufficient and in many cases were wrong / incorrect or not-on-topic. The “AGUSTIN, LARAH – MANDATORY VACCINE” file (attached) has the graphic that i am aiming for Please use THAT FORMAT for both the voluntary and mandatory vaccine administration sections of the essay. (See also PPTs of: CAMAGANACAN JAEL – MANDATORY VACCINE & Dominice, Cherry – Mumps)

Complete and in-depth analysis of the entire topic from a Philippines medical ethics perspective (not religious; not other countries practices; not your opinion or others opinion; not medical science, treatment, or diagnosis; etc.) is the exclusive focus for this essay.

If you have questions or concerns, please message me as soon as possible.

Topic:

Generally, you are identifying and providing (with citations & attachments) all of the rules, laws, and guidance as to when is it ethically appropriate to (a) offer and administer (e.g., voluntary, by informed consent) a vaccine AND (b) mandate administration of (police power / force, not simply offer) a vaccine? At the very least, you must provide and cite the minimum thresholds regarding the (i) Pathogen [e.g., contagiousness, virulence, prevalence, and other available treatments which would limit / reduce contagion]; (ii) Vaccine [e.g., effectiveness, and safety]; as well as (iii) Society valuation of personal rights versus collective / societys rights. You will likely need to develop a matrix as well as using versions of the chart provided to you. It is imperative that each and every sub-issue must have a clearly identified minimum threshold with an explicit citation showing the source of such threshold as applying to the Philippines.

Remember that if a vaccines administration is voluntary (autonomy is upheld) then it is a medical treatment subject to the four ethical principles (autonomy, justice, beneficence, non-maleficence); but if vaccine administration is mandated (use of societys police power to enforce administration) then it is absolutely a violation of personal autonomy, so the ethical justification must be sufficiently rigorous to permit such violation which has historically been to control a severe epidemic by developing a herd immunity in the societys population.

Once you have completed these minimum requirements, you must also discuss (1) other required issues, if any; (2) interrelated thresholds, if any (e.g., for a highly virulent & contagious pathogen, would the Philippines ETHICALLY permit (either voluntarily or under mandate) a less effective and / or less safe vaccine? give numerical thresholds with citations); (3) duration of vaccine effectiveness; (4) whether the virulence issue is affected by whether the pathogen is more deadly or causes long-term disability / crippling rates; (4) whether the issue of cost / price of the vaccine matters, and how.

Then DISCUSS the issues do not recite in words what the reader can see in the charts / matrices.

In this forum, you will use you will use skillsets you have developed in this module related to the sampling process by responding to the following discussion prompt and answering all (4) questions. You may want to use the internet in addition to resources provided in Module 7.
A researcher based in Miami wants to learn about the experiences of homeless people in the United States by conducting interviews with them. He plans to conduct in-person interviews with the homeless people he samples. He is having trouble deciding how to draw a representative sample of homeless people because homeless people are difficult to find, often move from place to place, and are often cycled in and out of homelessness. The researcher has one year and a $5,000 grant with which to conduct his interviews.
Your task is to help this researcher.

1. What is the population he wants to generalize to?
2. What are possible sampling frames (sources) from which he can draw his sample?
3. What do you think would be a good/realistic sample size?
4. What sampling methods would you suggest he uses? Why?

Please review the John Hopkins Nursing Research Evidence Appraisal (JHNREA) Tool attachment. To help you navigate the tool, I have shaded areas to not use and prevent you from answering sections that do not apply. You are asked to appraise a quantitative research article of a single quantitative study for your EBP Project. That is why that section (single study) is not shaded. Do not select a systematic review, meta-analysis, any type of review article, quality improvement study or a non research article (does not have IMRAD format) for your appraisal. Hint: if you are struggling to answer the questions using the single quantitative research study appraisal, chances are you have selected an incorrect article. Please feel free to email it to me for approval before you appraise the article.
Please answer all the non-shaded questions related to the quantitative appraisal part of the form and submit as word document via the above submission link. You will also need to submit the PDF (not a link) of your study article (so I can read and analyze it too).

for a quantitative single study complete and submit this form only with your article
Complete the Quantitative Appraisal Assignment (Due by Wednesday by 11:59 pm)
*** Complete page one of the JHNREA tool and all non-shaded sections of the form.
Prior to submission please perform a self audit
1. Is this a research article? Refer back to week one. Does it have the IMRAD format?
2. Is this a single study quantitative research article related to my EBP research question and not a quality improvement study (level V)? Refer back to the method comparison assignment.
3. Did I submit a completed appraisal form as a word document? Are ALL non-shaded sections completed?
4. Did I identify the evidence level using the John Hopkin’s evidence level guide? Hint: if this study did not conduct an experiment it is not a level I or II but a level III as long as it is quantitative in design and not a literature review/meta analysis or a QI project. For example a study that is looking for association is usually correlational in design and does not conduct an intervention or experiment so it is a level III.
5. Did I identify the quality appraisal rating for example A High ?
6. Did I complete the section about EBP findings related to my EBP research question?
7. Did I submit the research article as a PDF I appraised, so the professor can grade this assignment? The assignment will not be graded until this action has been taken.

-you’re having to design a game that has different events happening …. rolling one die or rolling two dice or even three….AND…. spinning on a spinner…..
-you set the introductory bet ($)
-you design the spinner as to the sectors winning and losing values
-you designate the value of the rolling dice outcome… for example, if the player rolls a 3 they get a payout of +$3…..
-you then have to figure out the THEORETICAL PROBABILITY of each event (spinner and dice)….
-you then have to play using the online spinner game and online dice roller to determine the EXPERIMENTAL PROBABILITY of each possible event after a certain number of trials (let’s say 20+ trials)….
-you then have to write a report as to your findings as to the relationship between THEORETICAL vs. EXPERIMENTAL PROBABILITY…..
-in the final report you determine if the Casino Games were FAIR (expected values = 0)

Do you think that there are universally accepted examples of right and wrong and what constitutes a crime, after reading about the standards set forth by the United Nations? Compare and contrast some examples of how different cultural values and traditions influence ethical behavior. Research this subject to find examples and post your results. You may also draw upon personal examples in your community or workplace that demonstrate the impact and influence of culture on ethical behavior and values.
