Dating and relationships – survey study exploring relationship status, jealousy, sexual orientation, and dating behaviors. Collected by PEW Research Center in October 2019.

Goals: The goal of this assignment is to get practice writing using standard scientific conventions. As we’ve discussed, scientific writing is different than narrative writing or other forms of expository writing. Later, we’ll develop strategies for structure and including appropriate content in our Introduction sections.

Instructions: This brief writing assignment will have two elements:

1. An introductory paragraph that introduces your reader to your final paper. This will eventually become the opening paragraph of the Introduction to your final paper, which we’ll complete for Writing #2.

2. At least three entries of an annotated bibliography. This will eventually form the literature review section of the Introduction to your final paper. You may find it helpful to refer to the module on Reading and Interpreting Scientific Literature before attempting this piece.

If you’re doing your final paper on Covid and mental health/personality, you can use this paper downloadas one of your sources

If you’re doing your final paper on dating and relationships, you can use this paper downloadas one of your sources

Forecasting Stock Price for XPO Logistics Company

You are an investment advisor, and your client is interested in buying the XPO Logistics company stock. To make the best financial decision for your client, you want to forecast the direction of the stock and determine whether your client should buy the stock based on forecasting and quantitative analysis. You start the process by gathering data and determining what forecasting technique to use.

Complete the following steps.

Retrieve data on the closing price of the XPO stock (Symbol XPO) from January 1, 2020 to July 31, 2020. You can do this on multiple websites by using a search engine and inserting the name of the stock.

Using the time series forecasting method, moving average, compute the 10–, 30–, and 50–day continuous moving averages.

Show all data and computations for your moving averages.

Take each number computed for the 10–day moving average, and record it in a table. Do the same for the 30– and 50–day averages.

You can now either plot these data points in a graph or just compare them against each other to complete the next step.

Write your final analysis, and make a recommendation to your client:

What is the data telling you?

How do you explain it to your client?

How accurate is this forecast for XPO?

Can you develop a forecasting system or model that may be more reliable and accurate? Explain.

Obligations II – Tort Law

‘The question of what amounts to “such care as in all the circumstances of the case is reasonable” depends on assessing not only the likelihood that someone may be injured and the seriousness of the injury which may occur, but also the social value of the activity which gives rise to the risk and the cost of preventative measures.” (Lord Hoffmann)

To what extent should these factors be balanced against each other in determining whether a defendant has breached the standard of care? Critically discuss this statement in light of the authorities.

Discuss cultural criminological theory suggest

Essays are major form of assessment at university. Through essays you develop your understanding of discipline specific content, strengthen your critical thinking and your ability to translate that thinking into a persuasive written form. With this essay you will develop and demonstrate your understanding of major criminological theory

In this essay you are required to answer one of the following questions:

  1. The issue of young people and ‘sexting’ – the sending and receiving of sexually explicit images, usually using devices such as mobile phones – has been criminalised in some places. How would cultural criminology explain the issue of teenagers and ‘sexting’. What response to this issue would cultural criminological theory suggest? In your response you should describe the theory and consider its strengths and weaknesses when used to examine this issue.
  1. Illicit drug use is sometimes dealt with as a criminal issue, and is accordingly sometimes managed through a law enforcement response. How would classical theory explain the issue of drug addiction? What response to illicit drug use would classical theory suggest? In your response you should describe the theory and consider its strengths and weaknesses when used to examine this issue.
  1. White-collar crime is often argued to be carried out by both individuals and corporations who are socially, financially, and economically powerful. How would Marxist theory explain the issue of white-collar crime? What response to white-collar crime would Marxist theory suggest? In your response you should describe the theory and consider its strengths and weaknesses when used to examine this issue.

 

The concepts of epidemiology provide the framework for the study of infectious and chronic health issues/diseases, which provides a rich source of data for the analysis of trends in disease and health.This assignment will offer the learner the opportunity to explore the population health effects of a topic which will be assigned by your course faculty.

The concepts of epidemiology provide the framework for the study of infectious and chronic health issues/diseases, which provides a rich source of data for the analysis of trends in disease and health.This assignment will offer the learner the opportunity to explore the population health effects of a topic which will be assigned by your course faculty.

As an example, you may be asked to identify populations at risk for oral health issues or, for instance, issues related to the frail living at home, and design a population health focused educational intervention for your target population.

In addition, you will look at what outcomes will be addressed to determine if your interventions are effective.  This paper should integrate HP2020 and CDC information into your paper.

Activity Learning Outcomes

Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:

  1. Identify appropriate outcome measures and study designs applicable to epidemiological sub-fields such as infectious disease, chronic disease, environmental exposures, reproductive health, and genetics. (CO3)
  2. Identify important sources of epidemiological data. (CO6)

Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due. Assignments submitted after the due date and time will receive a deduction of 10% of the total points possible for that assignment for each day the assignment is late. Assignments will be accepted, with penalty as described, up to a maximum of three days late, after which point a zero will be recorded for the assignment. Quizzes and discussions are not considered assignments and are not part of the late assignment policy.

  1. Research Topic:  Your course faculty will provide you with topic/s for this assignment. Please check the NR503 Course Announcements.
  2. Identify your target population (for instance, age or other demographic, aggregate population); this must be in your city or state.

Holistic Assessment and the Social Determinants of Health

The social determinants of health play an important role in shaping the health and well-being of individuals across the lifespan. As with all health assessment, it is imperative for health care professionals to strive to keep an open mind, respect differences, and be aware of personal implicit biases as they assess for social, cultural, economic, educational, and environmental factors influencing health.

Reflect upon the learning accomplished during Week One regarding these variables, and respond to the following:

Identify three of the social determinants of health and explain the impact of each determinant on individual health and person-centered care.

Using a holistic approach to assessment, what strategies would you use to determine how social determinants influence the individual’s health? Provide three questions that might aid in assessing these variables.

How might the Synergy Model provide a framework for the MSN-prepared nurse to collaborate with individuals in order to assess health literacy and the impact of social determinants?

Provide feedback to your peers for considerations related to age appropriate and culturally inclusive considerations which would demonstrate an open mind and respect for differences.
