Summative Assessment: Global Health and Policy

Navigate to the Global Health Estimates: Life Expectancy and Leading Causes of Death and Disability page by the World Health Organization.

Click the Indicators tab.

Select an indicator significantly affecting the U.S.

Select another country that is not affected or slightly affected by the same indicator you reviewed for the U.S.

Explore the data related to this indicator, including mortality rates.

For example, if you select number of deaths attributed to non-communicable diseases, by type of disease and sex as your indicator, you will then explore the relevant information pertaining to this indicator, such as any visualization, data, and metadata. For metadata, note how the data can be disaggregated and how the indicator is defined.

Include the following in your presentation:
Describe the U.S. mortality data you selected.
Compare the data of the U.S. to the data of another country that has lower mortality rates.
Provide an evidence-based rationale for the other country’s management of the problem surrounding the social determinants of health and health inequity.
Provide a comparison of the health policies of both countries that improve or negatively impact the problem.
Determine if a new policy is needed or if an existing policy should be changed to improve the incidence and mortality rate of
the problem.
Identify leadership competencies and skills that would be required to create a change to positively impact the problem.
Discuss possible platforms nurses can use to influence change in managing this problem.

Discussion Thread: Effectiveness of Technology Uses Replies

I need a reply to the following post
Jeremy Ramlal
“In the eyes of the community, computers in the classroom have come to symbolize a school curriculum that is up-to-date and instruction that is benefiting from “the latest technology.” This is, of course, a silly leap of faith.”
The above quote means to me that teachers have adopted ways to include computers in the classroom, but some may feel like computers or technology should not be in the classroom. Communities and schools have come to the realization that students can learn through a computer because it has curriculum and instruction that is up-to-date and will help prepare scholars for the future. Others feel as if students learn best from a teacher and not a computer or latest technology.
Computers or technology in general have helped shaped today’s community. Technology is everywhere you look. This can be in school or outside of school. Computers or iPads play a huge role in my classroom. I personally use iPads to actively engage a group of students so that I can pull small groups or have different learning centers in the classroom. When my students learn on an iPad, they know only to do the things that I have assigned. There are different resources like IXL and EPIC that help keep students engaged and continue their learning when I am not with them. Outside of the classroom, I have seen menus for restaurants, money, and even tickets for events all been digital. Chapin (2013) states that there are different programs like Pearson Digital Learning that help teachers. “Using these programs allows teachers, administrators, and in some schools parents, to keep track of student and class progress on curriculum objectives” (Chapin, 2013, p 105). These types of programs make learning more visible to the teacher by identifying student’s strengths and weaknesses so that teachers can intervene before it is too late (Chapin, 2013).

I do not agree with the statement above. I personally feel as if technology is a great resource that helps students enhance their learning. Today, one would be lost if they did not know how to operate any sort of technology. Incorporating technology into schools will help prepare students to live in the world today. Meador (2019) gives us a few technology tools that every teacher needs. First is the internet. “For teachers, the internet provides access to a massive library of lessons, activities, and digital resources that can be used to enhance classroom curriculum” (Meador, 2019, par 2). Second is a document camera. “Using a document camera, teachers can place any materials they want to share under the camera, which captures an image and delivers it to the LCD projector” (Meador, 2019, par 4). Third is a SmartBoard. Smartboards are an interactive whiteboard that have replaced chalkboards and whiteboards (Meador, 2019). “Teachers can create engaging, active lessons using the many tools the SmartBoard provides” (Meador, 2019, par 5).
A scripture that I feel relates to this discussion post is from 2 Timothy 3:17. This verse states “That the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” I’ve picked this verse because technology will help students complete different assignments and equip students to produce excellent work.

Good evening,
The statement is something that I neither agree with nor disagree with. Every day we are in a world that is consumed with technology. For example, you have cell phones, smart televisions, smart cars, smart boards and the list is forever growing. My biggest concern with the utilization of so much technology is when do your kids really get to be kids. When you work with technology you must plan lessons that will incorporate the technology in a manner that is beneficial to the student as well as the objective. With a computer you cannot really observe the whole class to make sure they are staying on task. “Technology integration is the classroom is seen as an important educational innovation to enhance teaching and learning processes in the 21st century.” (Backfisch,2021).

One thing I have learned this week is RAT. RAT stands for Replacement, Amplification and Transformation. It is a tiered guide for how technology is rolled into the classroom. The lowest level is a simple replacement of traditional technology. An example of this would consist of a book is transferred to a PDF document or tablet. The intermediate level is more implementation and efficient teaching methods. An example of the intermediate level would be the smartboard as mentioned above. Finally, the last level is the highest which consists of methods that can be utilized based solely on technology. An example of this would be virtual reality or tours. One thing COVID-19 did successfully was show us how to function with technology to have communication and a small resemblance of life. “It plays an important role in many aspects of communication, information access, business and finances, education, medicine, to name a few.” (Lengel, 2020). Our world largely relies on email, texts, Zoom, Google Meet, and other applications to function and stay connected to everyone else. The pandemic pushed teachers to have a better understanding of how to work with a computer to still teach while all the students were at different locations. It was largely successful, but some students really suffered with mental aspects and academically.

“The modern-day student requires active engagement, novelty, and content deliveries that are fun and exciting.” Computers are one thing I’m not sure can give them that. At home and everywhere they go they have screens. I know there is a benefit to utilizing technology but fully relying on it is a totally different topic. Virtual field trips and videos to engage would be great but having a student read the book online and do all their work on the computer is just not ideal. Technology offers multimodal representations. Through technology students can get text, pictures, audio, video and this is something that can benefit all learners. With everything you will always find positives and negatives.

The Cell Cycle

The continuation of the genetic make-up of a species relies on the information on the chromosomes being efficiently and correctly passed down generation to generation. Describe the processes by which cells are able to pass down their genetic inheritance. Include in your discussion the phases of the cell cycle, the process of mitosis (including what occurs during each phase), and the cell’s ability to regulate its own division. Further, occasionally, when a cell is unable to properly replicate its DNA or there is an error in the attachments of microtubules to kinetochores, there may be alterations chromosomes of the daughter cells. Describe the varied ways in which chromosomes may be altered between parent cells and daughter cells in meiosis. Include in your discussion aneuploidy, polyploidy, 4-5 types of chromosome mutations, and what the consequences of each are for plants and animals.

Assignment 3: Comparative Analysis of Texts in a Profession

In this assignment, you’ll select two pieces of writing from a profession of your choice (though I
suggest you choose whatever profession you plan to join) and compare how those texts succeed
in achieving their rhetorical purposes.

Two pieces of writing you will use:
ARTICLE 1: Podgorica, Nertila, et al. “Identifying Ethical and Legal Issues in Elder Care.” Nursing Ethics, vol. 28, no. 7/8, Nov. 2021, pp. 1194–209. EBSCOhost, https://doi-org.libproxy.csudh.edu/10.1177/0969733020981761.

ARTICLE 2: Norton, Wendy, and Elaine Wright. “Barriers and Facilitators to Fertility-Related Discussions with Teenagers and Young Adults with Cancer: Nurses’ Experiences.” Journal of Adolescent & Young Adult Oncology, vol. 9, no. 4, Aug. 2020, pp. 481–89. EBSCOhost, https://doi-org.libproxy.csudh.edu/10.1089/jayao.2019.0092.

You will use the two texts that talk about the same subject matter, but
differ in the audience – with one being written to members of the profession/discourse
community and one being written to outsiders/laypeople.

Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to consolidate your knowledge about rhetorical
situations and discourse communities, and then apply this knowledge to a professional discourse
community. It also demonstrates your ability to do research.

Audience: Your audience for this project will be your peers in this classroom. You can assume
that they have the same general knowledge of rhetoric that you do (since they’ve read the same
material about it), but that they’re not familiar with the discourse community you’re describing.

Length: Six pages minimum

Key concepts: RHETORICAL SITUATION, DISCOURSE COMMUNITY. GENRE

Be sure to cite all sources in proper MLA format and include a Works Cited Page. At this
the juncture of the semester, you must know who to clearly cite sources and include an
accurate Works Cited page.

Refugees and Healthcare

Using library and Internet resources, you will research a group of refugees and answer the following questions:

1) What ethnic, linguistic, or national groups, in particular, from this country or region sought refuge in the United States?

2) Under what political, economic, and social circumstances did people leave this country or region in the past decade?

3) What organizations, foundations, or other community groups are in place to support refugees from this country or region?

4) What is the primary religion of this group?

5) What are some of the general health and healing beliefs of this group?

6) How is their religion tied to their health care beliefs?

7) Where have the majority of refugees from this country or region settled within the United States? How might a hospital of clinic in this region practice cultural competency for this group?

8) Can you find a case study or example of a refugee from this group seeking health care in the United States? If so, briefly describe the story.

Please explore the following refugee communities based on the first letter of your last name. I have divided the class to ensure that not everyone is researching the same group. When you do your classmate response, you should respond to a classmate who wrote about a different group than you researched.

Group 1st letter of last name

Bosnians A-D
Somalians E-H
Cubans I-L
Sudanese M-Q
Iranians R-U
Congolese V-Z

Black Widow Marvel Movie

You will watch the Marvel Movie “Black Widow”(2021 film) and IN YOUR OWN WORDS” discuss the significance of the olfactory nerve.
You will discuss how the olfactory organ works and discuss why it is key in the movie.
How was the character “Natasha” able in the movie to sever her olfactory nerve and why was what that important. The more detail and example you give better. Also include and describe what pheromones are.
What is the cranial nerve involved-where is it located, how do these cells work? What is a sense organ, what is olfaction?

some aspect of Marian art, music, and/ or devotion based on one of the “names of Mary” that we find in Pitre’s book or in other devotions

Please proofread papers carefully (reading out loud to oneself if usually fairly foolproof!); bear in mind that your paper will be graded for writing style, proper grammar, flow of ideas, etc., as well as content. The difference between an A and an A- can depend entirely upon the quality of the prose, even if the content is comparable.
This project will include an five to seven-page research paper, complete with scholarly apparatus (bibliography, footnotes), on some aspect of Marian art, music, and/ or devotion based on one of the “names of Mary” that we find in Pitre’s book or in other devotions discussed throughout the course. You can choose to highlight a particular piece of art, or music, or composer/art, genre of art, time period, etc. Pick something that you are interested in and ask a question about it!
The steps to write this paper include: 1) asking a question, 2) researching to find the answer, 3) using that answer as your thesis, and 4) using your research to back up your thesis.
