2. The Human Population – Demographic Transitionclose

Not all countries have moved through all four phases of the demographic transition. You are a consultant for a developing country that is not yet in phase IV of demographic transition.

In your own words, complete the following:

  • Define demographic transition.
  • Describe the 4 phases of demographic transition, including if the population is stable, growing, or declining in each. ·
  • According to demographers, what factors lead to a decline in the crude birth rates (CBR) and crude death rates (CDR) in the epidemiologic and fertility phases of the demographic transition? ·
  • Briefly describe three living conditions and/or environmental impacts in developed countries that have reached phase IV, and contrast them with these conditions or impacts in developing countries that remain in earlier phases. ·
  • Assuming that the demographic transition phase IV is a goal for developing countries, what two programs or initiatives would you suggest to assist them in progress toward this goal?

The following rubric will be used for grading:

When attending school, one of the first steps you learn is to be organized. Being organized applies not only to your daily life, but to your computer as well. While you are in school, you will write papers, complete spreadsheets, and do presentations for all of the classes you take. After a few classes, you will notice that you have quite a few files. These will be the papers that you turned in as assignments, various rough drafts, and different versions of the items you completed for all of your classes. This can eventually add up to hundreds of files.

 

A good file management system is necessary to organize your files. A file management system is made up of files and file folders. You can copy, delete, rename, and move these files and folders around as you like.

 

For this lab, you will create a file management structure for your classes here at AIU. You will follow the steps listed below to create this file structure. After you create this file structure, you will create a screenshot using Print Screen, or you will use the Snipping Tool that is in Windows 10. This will create a copy of your file structure that you can then paste into a Word document that you will turn in. Please refer to the Web resources section for help with creating a screenshot.

 

You will begin this lab by doing the following:

  • Step 1: Right-click on the Windows Start button, and open Windows Explorer.
  • Step 2: Go to My Documents.
  • Step 3: Under My Documents, create a folder named “(your first name your last name) AIU Courses.” After this folder is created, open the new folder.
  • Step 4: Create a new subfolder named “COMP102.”
  • Step 5: Start Word
  • Step 6: Save a new document as (your last name_your first name)_U1_LDA.docx (e.g., Doe_John_U1_LDA.docx) in the COMP102 subfolder.
  • Step 7: Go to Windows Explorer. Take a screenshot of how your directory looks by using the Snipping Tool in Windows 7 or by doing a Print Screen. The copy command (Ctrl + C) will put a picture of your file structure in your clipboard.
  • Step 8: In your Word document, paste the picture of your directory structure. It should look similar to the example below, but it will likely contain other folders. It does not have to look exactly like this, but it should show the AIU Courses folder and the COMP102 folder.

  • Step 9: Save this document with the name in the COMP102 subfolder as (your last name_your first name)_U1_IP.docx (e.g., Doe_John_U1_IP.docx).
  • Step 10: Submit your Word document.

Engulf and Devour Arguments

/in /by

 

In M1: Assignment 2, you identified and explained the weakest or strongest argument in a set of articles. You identified the premises and conclusions, discussed whether or not an inference was warranted, and discussed matters of truth and consistency within the specified subject.

 

Review your work in M1: Assignment 2 where you analyzed the sets of articles assigned to you.

 

Using these articles, complete the following:

 

  • Construct an original “engulf and devour” argument.

 

Or

 

  • Develop a “counterexample” argument.

 

You may use the M1: Assignment 2 readings as sources for evidence and facts. Be sure to do the following:

 

  • Use additional references to support your arguments and provide evidence as needed.
  • Use key language and phrases suggested in your textbook.

 

If you have difficulty getting started use the “quick start” techniques listed in the textbook.

 

Write your initial response in 1–2 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

ASSIGNMENT 2: ECO

Assignment 6 Project Part 2 – Due by midnight 2/17.  Exponential Smoothing Forecast. 

This assignment addresses forecasting your selected Y data (dependent variable) using an exponential smoothing technique.  Note:  Do not use the X (independent) variables in this exercise.  Use only one exponential smoothing method — the best that applies. Do not use any other forecasting techniques in this assignment.

a) Tell me why you selected the appropriate exponential smoothing method by commenting on your Y data characteristics. (you should use a time series plot and autocorrelations to do this), 

b) Apply the appropriate exponential smoothing forecast technique to your Y variable excluding the last two years of data (hold out period).  Show the Y data, fitted values and residuals in excel format and show your exponential smoothing model coefficients. (Find the correct coefficient and not just use the default values.)

c) Evaluate the “Goodness To Fit” using at least two error measures — RMSE and MAPE.

d) Check the “Fit” period residual mean proximity to zero and randomness with a time series plot; check the residual time series plot and autocorrelations (ACFs)  for trend, cycle and seasonality.  

e) Evaluate the residuals for the “Fit” period by indicating the residual distribution using a histogram (normal or not and random or not), 

f) Comment on the acceptability of the model’s ability to pick up the systematic variation in your Fit period actual data.

g) Develop a two year forecast  (for the hold out period). 

h) Evaluate the “Accuracy” of the forecast for the “hold out period” using RMSE and MAPE error measures used from forecast period residuals and comment them.  

i) Do the forecast period residuals seem to be random relative to the hold out period data? Check the forecast period time series plot of the residuals.

j) Did the error measures get worse, remain the same or get better from the fit to the hold out period?  Do you think the forecast accuracy is acceptable?

Show your work and graphs in a Word document.  Make sure that you comment on statistics and graphs relevant to answering the above questions.  DO NOT leave statistics and graphs alone without an comment.  If you show something write about it. Again, this is a single Word document with any Mintab results copied and pasted in it.

Diagnosis and Management of Hematologic and Metabolic Disorders

 

 

 

Case Study 2:

 

 Jimmy is a 3-year-old “picky” eater according to his mother. He refuses to eat anything but waffles for breakfast and macaroni and cheese or chicken nuggets for lunch and dinner. He will eat apples and bananas but refuses all vegetables except corn. After a normal physical examination, you obtained blood testing that revealed the hemoglobin is 11.4 mg/dl and his hematocrit is 30% (both obtained by venipuncture). The CBC revealed microcytic hypochromic RBCs.

 

 

 

To prepare:

 

•Review “Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders” and “Hematologic Disorders” in the Burns et al. text

 

•Review and  Analyze the patient information.

 

•Consider a differential diagnosis for the patient in the case study you selected. Think about the most likely diagnosis for the patient.

 

•Think about a treatment and management plan for the patient. Be sure to consider appropriate dosages for any recommended pharmacologic and/or non-pharmacologic treatments.

 

•Consider strategies for educating patients and families on the treatment and management of the hematologic or metabolic disorder.

 

TO COMPLETE

 

POST   1 TO 2 PAGES DISCUSSION PAPER ON :

 

  1.An explanation of the differential diagnosis for the patient in the case study you selected.

 

2. Explain which is the most likely diagnosis for the patient and why.

 

3. Include an explanation of unique characteristics of the disorder you identified as the primary diagnosis.

 

4. Then, explain a treatment and management plan for the patient, including appropriate dosages for any recommended treatments.

 

5. Finally, explain strategies for educating patients and families on the treatment and management of the hematologic or metabolic disorder.

Questions on the biographical film, Miracle directed by Gavin O’Conner

/in /by

The 2004 biographical film, Miracle (directed by Gavin O’Connor), depicts the true story of the 1980 United States Olympic Hockey team. This team of young college kids shocked the world by beating the mighty Soviet Union on the way to winning the gold medal at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, United States of America. After watching this film, please write a reflection piece including responses to the following questions (written as a continuous piece, not question/answer). In your writing, please incorporate your own thoughts on the events depicted in the film.

 

1. How did the rest of America respond to the events surrounding the 1980 Winter Olympics (particularly the potential boycott of the Russian team) and the US team performance throughout the Games?

 

2.   Do you think this magnitude of national pride is still prevalent on the international stage (i.e., in the 2008 Beijing Olympics)? Why or why not?

 

3. Do you think the success of the US Hockey team at the Winter Olympics in 1980 had any impact on the decision of the US Olympic Committee to boycott the 1984 Summer Olympic Games?
