Identify data issues such as possible anomalies or outliers and their potential impact on the analysis.

Lab M report on DNA extraction

Paper written in standard scientific format.
Use Lab M itself as an information resource.
No citations are needed for this assignment. The research question was whether we could evaluate the comparative ploidy values of different samples.
INTRO: A little background context is expected. Be sure to include a clear hypothesis statement, supported by a rationale, and ending with a prediction statement that connects the idea of the hypothesis to the basic concept of the planned testing.
METHODS: Boil it down to the basics that might affect results. The idea is to allow someone to replicate the experiment so that they will be able to compare their data to ours.
RESULTS: A results statement includes a very short summary of key findings and a graph. Work with the compiled class results to create a bar and whisker graph that compares the means and ranges for the extracted (spooled) mass of DNA from strawberries, peas, and bananas. The graph can be computer-generated, hand drawn, or a hybrid. In results, include an n=___ statement in your narrative summary.
CONCLUSION: Evaluates results in the context of the hypothesis.
DISCUSSION: Identify data issues such as possible anomalies or outliers and their potential impact on the analysis. Identify experimental issues that might explain outliers, including the most likely sources of error and any potentially confounding variables.

Learning Objectives After studying this chapter, learners will be able to:

Discuss how evidence-based practice (EBP) assists hospitals and healthcare systems achieve the quadruple aim.

Describe the differences among EBP, research, and quality improvement. identify the seven steps of EBP. Discuss barriers to EBP and key elements of cultures that support the implementation of EBP.

The evidence is irrefutable. Evidence-based practice (EBP) enhances healthcare quality, improves patient outcomes, reduces costs, and empowers clinicians; this is known as the quadruple aim in healthcare (Bodenheimer & Sinsky, 2014; Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, ow 2015; Tucker, 2014). Hospitals and healthcare systems across the United States are continu-ally striving to reach the quadruple aim and improve the safety of care. However, problems with quality persist; for example, preventable medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States, and clinician burnout is a public health epidemic (Johnson et al., • 2017; Makary & Daniel, 2016; Melnyk, 2016a; Shanafelt et al., 2015). Although EBP is a key strategy for reaching the quadruple aim, it is not the standard of care in many healthcare systems because practices steeped in tradition and organizations that foster a culture of Imo “this is the way we do it here” continue to thrive across the United States and the world. Recently, there has been an explosion of scientific evidence available to guide health pro-fessionals in their clinical decision making. Even though this evidence is readily available, the 0. implementation of evidence-based care is still not the norm in many healthcare systems across the United States and the globe because clinicians across the United States lack competency

What is being done about the problem or what do people propose should be done?

Your report needs four sections plus the literature cited. These sections can be separate with headings or part of an overall paper. There is no minimum length, but you probably need at least one full page (and two is better).

The four sections are:
1. Basic overview of the entire issue – what is it?
2. History of the problem
3. What is being done about the problem or what do people propose should be done?
4. Your thoughts on the issue – synthesize all of the above sections and try to draw some conclusions of your own

You will also need a literature cited.

Grades will be based on:
1. having all four sections completed appropriately and thoroughly
2. submitting an electronic version
3. basic grammar and spelling
4. proper citations in the text and in the literature cited (CSE scientific style)
5. quality of citations. You need a minimum of four citations and at least two should be solidly reliable and objective.

My topic is over pollution

What is the correlation between HDI and mortality rate due to pneumonia (measured in number of deaths per 100,000 of population),in countries with a HDI of above 0.75?

What is the correlation between HDI and mortality rate due to pneumonia (measured in number of deaths per 100,000 of population),in countries with a HDI of above 0.75?

Attached a sample of a biology ib internal assessment with the same question,but a different disease. Instead of stroke, it will be about pneumonia. Want it to be the same structure. Data collected about death counts and other information should be taken from reliable sources.

Explain why animal and human experimentation are necessary for the development of new cancer treatments and be aware of their governance.

Investingating human health and disease

Overview
Prepared for the S290 module team by Dr Francesco Crea and Dr Dan Berwick.
The biological basis of cancers touches upon every aspect of cellular function, and cancer incidence in human populations. As such, this topic provides an opportunity to explore many aspects of this multifaceted disease. The topic will detail cancer definitions, global epidemiology of cancer, genetic aspects (oncogenes and tumour suppressors), microevolutionary aspects of cancer (initiation and progression, metastasis), cell signalling and the core principles of gene structure and expression. Cancers will be explored using different approaches including histopathology, immunohistochemistry and gene and protein expression assessment techniques. Investigative aspects will include digital microscopy and analyses of gene expression and life expectancy data in relation to gene expression in malignant tumours. The topic will also explore the ethics of human and animal experimentation, introduce statistical tools used in cancer analysis, and allow you to explore the relevant health science literature.
The assessment for this topic comes in TMA 02.

Learning outcomes

After studying this topic, you will be able to:

Define and use in context, or recognise, definitions and applications of each of the items in bold in the text and defined in the Glossary.

Identify and discuss the main differences that distinguish normal tissues from benign and malignant tumours.

Describe the principles of diagnosis in oncology and of multimodal cancer therapy.
Collect, interpret and present data from tumour sections using microscopy.

Describe the different types of mutation – how they are inherited, affect gene expression and contribute to cancer risk.

Explain how bioinformatics approaches are used to study cancer.

Outline the general principles of signal transduction and the mechanisms by which external signals modify cell behaviour.

Outline how antibodies can be used to investigate expression of specific proteins.

Interpret cancer survival plots (Kaplan−Meier plots) and correlate gene expression with prognosis and therapeutic efficacy.

Explain why animal and human experimentation are necessary for the development of new cancer treatments and be aware of their governance.

Source relevant research papers in the Open University Library.
Provide examples of roles played by health scientists in the health science sector.

Demonstrate understanding of the major issues currently debated within population genetics.

Ecological genetics of Ursus americanus (American Black Bear)

The species that it needs to be on is Ursus americanus.

Have been told that mine should be on the topic of gene flow.

Am not sure if this is standard but the introduction needs to have definitions in it, the species needs to be introduced and the importance of the essay needs to be explained.

For the methods part it need to be brief so just things like markers (eg microsatellities/mtDNA), sample size and location. I’ve been told that figures of maps can be included for the location.

For the wider context part it can be linked to stuff like conservation issues and subspecies status.

Have been told that they don’t want a long paragraph on each study.

It can include the odd old reference if its really relevant but needs to be mainly recent ones. Ideally no books and websites.

Make sure the Learning Objectives are met:

1) Demonstrate understanding of the major issues currently debated within population genetics

2) Demonstrate understanding of the processes leading to variation and speciation

Am not sure what stuff you will have assess to so have attached some journal articles just encase you want them. The one called Ursus americanus is defiantly not open access. Feel free to let me know if there is a paper you can’t read because I might have access to it. I do have the book that it talks about in the guidelines too and I can send photos of the pages if you need that.

Describe how this change or new organ would enable the humanoid to function better on this planet than on Earth.

Proxima Centauri

Prompt:

The closest star to our own, approximately 4.2 light-years away or 25 trillion miles, is the red-dwarf, Proxima Centauri. This low-mass star is about 12% the mass of our Sun, however, a planet has been observed rotating around this red-dwarf star called Proxima c. This exoplanet is approximately 1.3 times the size of earth and appears to have a rocky terrain. Because of its rotation, Proxima c would have approximately 22 Earth days between sunrises and the surface temperature would be approximately -40C. Evidence of both atmospheric and liquid water on the surface has been observed. Because of the closeness of this planet to the Proxima Centauri, the planet is flooded with 400x more radiation than Earth and a solar wind pressure 2000x that experienced on Earth. Due to these factors, the inhabitants of this planet would most likely live underground and would only venture above ground for resources. They would be bipedal humanoids, resembling humans in their anatomy and physiology. However, considering the differences between Proxima c and Earth, there will be adaptations that would ensure their survival on Proxima c.
Analysis:
Using this information, you should describe and justify one adaptation to the nervous system that this organism would have to inhabit Proxima c. This analysis should include the following:
• Description of the physiology of the human nervous system (using your textbook as a primary information source).
• An explanation of how the environment of Proxima c may affect the functioning of the human nervous system.
• Propose an adaptation to the human nervous system the Proxima c humanoid would have to compensate for the environment.
o The adaptation can be based on changes in a human organ to make it work more efficiently on Proxima c or can be an organ that is not found in the human nervous system.
• The proposal should include justification as to why that particular adaption would benefit the humanoid more than any other adaptation to the nervous system.
o Justifications should be based on known scientific principles and research.
• Describe how this change or new organ would enable the humanoid to function better on this planet than on Earth.
• Use reliable sources and identify the relevant information used for your analysis and justification.
Format:
1. Length should be a minimum of 2 pages (down to the bottom of the margin for page 1) and maximum of 3.
2. Analysis should be typed, using 1” margins and double-spacing.
3. Font size must be 12 and should be one of the following: Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri
4. You must use a minimum of 3 reputable sources in addition to your textbook. Reputable sources include peer reviewed scientific journal articles, accredited websites, or books. Google, Wikipedia, etc. are not acceptable sources. Remember to cite all sources and cite your textbook. Citations should be in the APA format, including parenthetical (in-text) citations. Visit the Purdue Owl Writing Lab (opens new window) for instructions on proper formatting.
Submission:
The paper MUST be submitted via the submission link in Blackboard and must be in word document format. It will not be accepted if turned in any other way or if it is not in the correct format.
The submission link will check your paper for plagiarism using SafeAssign software. Any paper showing more than 25% plagiarism will be an automatic zero (this means even if you cite your sources, your writing must be in your own words-paraphrase!).
You will be allowed 2 submissions for this assignment (You do not have to submit it more than once, its an option). I will provide general feedback letting you know what areas could be improved upon for a higher grade OR if you need to completely redo the assignment (A redo will count as submission 2).
Plagiarism:
Plagiarism is using another person’s ideas and/or writings without acknowledging that you are doing so and is a serious offense. All students should take all precautions to ensure that no plagiarism, intentional or unintentional, is present in their work.

Plagiarism includes (but is not limited to)
• quoting a source word-for-word without enclosing the material in quotation marks (even if you cite the source).
• summarizing an article by copying from the abstract or critical summary (even if you cite the article).
• paraphrasing closely another’s writing (e.g. modifying sentences slightly, but expressing the same ideas with copied phrases) even if you cite the source.
• using another author’s points about a topic without acknowledging that you are doing so, and/or reviewing exactly the same studies in the same way (e.g., using a criticism or essay or textbook treatment of a topic as the basic outline for your paper and reviewing only the studies that the author used and making the same criticisms that the author does). It is fine to get a general idea for a topic from a text or other source, but you must then develop and cover the topic in your own way.
Students are expected
• to use their own ideas and their own words in any paper they write.
• to write about material they have read, but express their own understanding and their own comments on it.
• to use occasional quotations but to identify them as quotations.
• to avoid close paraphrasing which is not their own writing. Using more than five (5) consecutive words from the original source without using quotation marks reflects close paraphrasing (i.e. to take an author’s writing and to change a few words here and there). This is not acceptable even if the student cites a reference.
