The next step in the process of acquiring information is to move past what we can think of onto what we can see. That is, we have the way things are done and how to do them but we have not yet touched the work. In this case, we begin by reviewing some information regarding a trend towards bipedalism based on an arbitrary scale. That is, we use diagnostic features we can see and judge for ourselves.
Although some may believe arbitrary assessments to be vague or assumptive, this step is sometimes used by those who know about the subject. That is we have spent many weeks getting to the point where you are trained observers. That is what you see matters and you will now “show what you can do with what you know.” This quick step is used to give immediate feedback to guide the path of inquiry. For example, an arbitrary scale can give values which can be interpreted as useful or not.
The values can also be added to a graph which may show connections, divergence, and trends. Although the arbitrary assessments may be cursory they can be used to help make predictions. The predictions can aid in a direction of inquiry such as future experimental design to pursue a lead or quickly and simply rule out an assumption.
An assumption in science can be either a premise for an idea based on experience, or a prediction based on prior data. That is, the premise from an informed previous statement can lead to inquiry. Informed statements come from experience or existing data. Therefore, an assumption in science is very different from how assumptions are used in daily activities by many non-scientists.
Here we may assume that the diagnostics features listed in the drawing plantigrade, digitigrade, unguligrade highlight things of interest in relation to patterns of locomotion, in this case distinctions of speed and power compared to bipedalism.
Grade scale x/30 x 20 = score
12.1. Bipedalis.Start with an ABC about each foot grade.
Now that we have gone past the basics and the surprise that other animals have very similar skeletal structures it is time to review the basics of locomotion. Later, other forms of locomotion will be investigated in depth, but, for now it is wise to stay with what is familiar and the basic three.
On the drawing for anthbiolab.mckendricksj.footgrades.plantigrade.digitigrade.unguligrade above, observe the normal standing postures and note the following for each species A, B,and C:
(3 points) On the drawing above note the angle of the hip to the femur by the scribed line(s) down to the caudal line (a line towards the tail) of the hip in connection to the femoral line (of the femur). Estimate the angles of hip to femur by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) for each species:
Species A what is angle 1 =
Near to 180 deg
Near to 115 deg.
Near to 95 deg.
Species B what is angle 1 =
Near to 180 deg
Near to 115 deg.
Near to 95 deg.

On-ground- and greater than 90 deg.
Off-ground- and greater than 90 deg.
(1 point) If a species has an angle of femur to hip bone is closer to 90 deg., then they are better at jumping without a run. Select the species one or more which has that by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) best for power related to speed and jumping:
A: human
B: Dog
C: Deer
(1 point) If a species has a calcaneus not in contact with the ground and has a longer length relative to the tibia, then they are able to have a burst of speed and jump easily exceeding what humans can do. Select the species, one or more, which has that characteristic by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) best for power related to speed and jumping:
A: human
B: Dog
C: Deer
(1 point) If a species has a relatively longer calcaneus length when compared to the other species then they are better at jumping without a run. Select the species one or more which has that by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) best for power related to speed and jumping:
A: human
B: Dog
C: Deer
(1 point) If a species has pedal phalanges in relation to the metatarsals which are not in line and have less contact overlength to the ground then they are able to have a burst of speed and jump easily exceeding what humans can do. Select the species, one or more ,which has that characteristic by selecting the one answer which fits (delete the wrong answers) best for power related to speed and jumping:
A: human
B: Dog
C: Deer
10. (1 point) If a species has the tibia in relation to the pedal phalanges which are in excess of 90 degrees then they are able to have a burst of speed and jump easily exceeding what humans can do. Select the species one or more which have that by selecting the one answer which fits (delete the wrong answers) best for power related to speed and jumping:
A: human
B: Dog
C: Deer
11. (10 points) From questions 1 thru 5 fill in the table to evaluate which species ranks the lowest for power for speed and jumping. Total each time A species scored a 1.
12. (2 points) Questions 1 thru 5 and 11 indicate that Species A is unique. What are they limited by, what can’t they do?
13. (2 points) Questions 6 thru 10 indicate that species B and C have less limitation and can do what?
14. (6 points) Why is this interesting to learn that humans even when compared to dogs and deer, to say nothing about them to top predators, have far less abilities in relation to their bipedalism?

Policy Brief
Infectious Diseases, Tuberculosis in India
From: Secretary of Health, India
To: Minister of Finance, India
Introduction:
400,000 Indians die each year from TB. It is the leading cause of death in the ages 15-45 and has the greatest affect on the poverty stricken regions. Several risk factors for TB are HIV, lack of knowledge, urban congestion and pollution, barriers in health care, and cultural differences. TB causes large economic losses, financial burdens to poor families, losses in education, and even familial rejection of infected women. To address TB we must promote DOT in the poorest sectors to improve knowledge and treatment, ensure efficient technology for diagnosis, and target HIV prevalent areas for proper treatment for co-infected patients.
Nature and Magnitude of the Problem:
India accounts for one-fifth of global TB incident cases . Roughly 1.9 million people develop TB every year and 0.87 million cases are infectious. Approximately 23,000 of those incidents are in HIV+ patients . TB represents 3.7% of India’s burden of disease, which is 11 times that of malaria . About 2 million people worldwide die of TB per year and roughly 400,000 of those deaths are in India.
Affected Populations:
TB is the largest single cause of adult illness and death in India out of every other communicable disease. It is the leading cause of death in the age group of 15-45 years old. Children are also affected but are not seen as the main agents in spreading TB. Adults are affected the most due to their contact with numerous people in public areas, such as work or the market place. Each year more TB cases reported of men than of women.
TB primarily has the greatest impact on the pooriii and 240 million people live below the poverty line in India . TB incidence also is much higher in urban areas as compared with rural. Since TB spreads fastest in crowded areas, lower income people are at higher risk of infection due to their lifestyles and jobs.
Risk Factors:
Barriers in access to primary health care systems lead to numerous untreated cases of TB. The financial costs for health care as well as access to health care centers can be very difficult, especially for people from poor regions. A person with untreated TB can infect Prevalence of HIV makes people more susceptible to TB infection. Those with a co-infection of HIV and TB are at a higher risk of the TB infection becoming active. Roughly 60% of those with active TB are HIV+ .
Lack of knowledge about the disease is another factor to consider. If people do not know the symptoms they will be less likely to seek help. Urban congestion, pollution, and areas with high population density are breeding grounds for TB. Small crowded areas with poor ventilation are common places where the disease can spread.
The stigma attached to TB has a large affect on women in Indian society. Women with TB are stigmatized which can lead to less chance of them seeking help.
Economic and Social Consequences:
Economic growth of a country can be correlated with TB prevalence. TB is a long-lasting illness with a six-month duration of treatment. A study showed that those sick with TB lost roughly 3 months wages. They also spent approximately one quarter of national income per capita on care and treatment. Also, every 10% increase in TB incidence was associated with lower annual economic growth of 0.2-0.4%v.
The stigma associated with TB in Indian society can cause women to be shunned by their families. Each year more than 100,000 women in India are rejected from their homes. Due to this, many women may not seek a diagnosis or treatment. Additionally, young girls at the marrying age may try to hide their disease for fear of not marrying. The stigma attributes to a number of unreported and untreated TB cases.
TB affects education and growth of children. Around 300,000 children leave school every year due to TB . It is also important to consider the affect on families. If a mother dies her children are at higher risk of dying as well.
Priority Action Steps:
To begin addressing the high rates of TB infection we need to push for Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) in high-risk areas. DOT is very cost-effective, costing from $5-$50 per DALY gained. To ensure effective DOT there must be efficient supervision in each community. We must begin by educating the community of TB and encourage participation. The supervisors must make sure that the medicine is delivered to the patient and that the drugs are being taken accordingly by that patient.
Another method of ensuring efficient treatment, which was tried in China, is providing financial incentives to doctors for enrolling patients and completing their six-month treatmentv. We also must make sure that there is access to quality-assured sputum tests and microscopy for proper diagnosis.
We cannot ignore those co-infected with HIV and TB and must target HIV prevalent areas to ensure that those patients are receiving proper care. TB is rapidly causing unnecessary deaths that can be prevented from proper, enforced treatment. We must act now to begin saving lives.

Instructions: Cooperative Learning Groups
Research Design Exercise
This exercise is designed to help you choose a research design for your proposal. Use your cooperative learning group to help you settle on a final design. I don’t expect anyone to be able to answer all of these questions right now. However, finding the answers to these questions will help guide your final proposal.
Instructions
Take 15–20 minutes and answer as many of the questions that follow as possible. You have answered some of these questions in the past; others will be new for you. Remember, it is okay for your research questions or design to change as you learn more about the feasibility of your evaluation. Questions you don’t feel comfortable with or are unsure about, leave blank and ask your cooperative learning group for help.
1. What is your research question?
What are the major effective measures to support mental health program?
2. What is the outcome you are studying or what are the variables you are studying if it is not an outcome study?Better effectiveness in implementing mental health care program for individuals in the community.
3. Is this a qualitative or quantitative study? Does it have elements of both? Explain.This will be a Quantitative data in order to help one see the big picture of my research.
4. Is it a formative or summative evaluation? Explain. It will be a summative for me to be able to analyze my achievement in the end of my research.
5. What is the design of your study? What are the strengths of this design? What are the limitations? A case study design
6. From whom will you collect data? Staff members /co-workers
7. Will you use a sample? If so what is your sampling strategy?
8. What method will you use to collect the data (survey, interviews, administrative or secondary data, etc.)? Convenience
9. Are there any ethical or IRB issues with your study?
After completing as many of these questions as possible, meet with your cooperative learning group. Each member of the group will present your research question(s) and summarize his or her design. Then, the presenting group member should share questions with which they are struggling. As a group, discuss next steps for the presenting member’s final research or evaluation proposal. We will discuss requirements for the final research proposal during next week’s session. In addition, provide the following feedback to each presenter:
1. If he or she has presented a design, identify one threat to the internal validity of the study (Remember, this does not mean you have to change your design, you just have to be aware of this limitation. All studies have limitations.).
2. Provide one suggestion for how you think the study can be improved or made more feasible. 1 page / approx 275 words | APA | English (US) 🇺🇸 | Research Proposal | Social Sciences | Undergraduate |

Instructions: 1) Explain the context of your primary text (what are the various issues at stake, positions people take, and relevance to our discussions?)
2) What’s your thinking so far on that text? (remember that that thinking may change as you conduct your research)
3) Discuss the kinds of research you expect to have to do in order to explore that topic more thoroughly (will you be looking exclusively at scholarly journals? Are there relevant popular resources you may use?).
While your particular primary and secondary texts are up to you, everyone must select from within the following three umbrella topics:
• The empowerment or disenfranchisement of particular social groups through the use of comedy, including race, class, and/or gender
o Consider comics who take on race, class, gender, sexuality explicitly in their work and examine how they engage those topics and to what end.
• The rhetorical value of irony
o Consider comics like Stephen Colbert who employ irony as their primary method of advancing an argument – what are they able to accomplish through those ends and are there limits?
• Rhetorical transgression
o Consider comics who “go too far.” What can an examination of how a particular comic has gone too far help us understand our culture and society? What’s the difference between Tig Notaro and Dave Chappelle?

Instructions: Assignment Guidelines:
Select one artist covered in the lecture and one of their artworks to critique.
Title the essay in a way that provides anticipation for the content of the essay.
In the introductory paragraph of your essay, introduce the artist and artwork providing background information for each.
For example: What is the artist’s name? What is their nationality? Where do they live? What type of work do they make? What artwork are you going to cover? What is its title? What materials is it made out of? When was it made? How is the piece experienced?
At the end of the introductory paragraph, provide your thesis. This is your critique of the artwork.
There are many judgements you may have for the work of art you are writing about and it is up to you to develop those into your critique. If you are struggling to develop your critique, start with considering the effectiveness or impact of the artwork. Does the artwork change the way you think about something? Does it not? Does it make you think differently about some ideas, but not others? Does the work operate only on sensationalism or shock value? Is the work well-researched and nuanced providing many interpretations by many different people?
In the following paragraphs, describe the artwork at length and provide your arguments that support and flesh out your critique of the artwork. In these paragraphs, you are answering WHY you critique the artwork in this way.
In your concluding paragraph, relay your thesis (that is not just re-stating it) that summarizes your perceived impact of the work of art.
Think about the artwork’s personal impact upon you, the cultural impact of the artwork, the historical impact, and/or the political impact of the artwork.

You have to keep in mind also that your plan is not intended to summarize the results of analysis and responses. It is supposed to describe how the communications management processes would be executed and who would do that work. Think of your plan as providing instructions to the project team as to how to do the necessary work in this area.
Do your own work and make sure you answer all the questions.

Instructions: Discussion – Week 1 (preferred related to Psychiatric care since I work as a Psych Nurse)
COLLAPSE
Defining Quality
As health care consumers, we all expect quality care and positive outcomes. It is important as professionals that we meet these demands of health care consumers. Consider the work of the major theorists you examined in this week’s Resources, and think about how these theories apply to your own experience as a health care customer and/or practitioner.
By Day 3
Post your definition of quality, and apply it to the work of one major quality theorist (e.g., Donabedian, Juran, Deming, Triple Aim (IHI) – Berwick). Identify a practice problem that you have had some experience with as a customer or as a practitioner, and explain how eliminating wasteful practices could have improved the experience. Include how your definition of quality applies to that experience.
Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature. Your posts need to be written at the capstone level (see checklist).
Notes for Initial Post: A 3-paragraph (at least 350 words) response. Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations. Utilize essay-level writing practice and skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames. Avoid quotes; paraphrase to incorporate evidence into your own writing. A reference list is required. Use the most current evidence (usually ≤ 5 years old). (Refer to AWE Checklist, Capstone)
By Day 7
Read two or more of your colleagues’ postings from the Discussion question.
Respond with a comment that asks for clarification, provides support for, or contributes additional information to two or more of your colleagues’ postings.
Post a Discussion entry on three different days of the week. See the Discussion Rubric found in the Course Information area.

Hard Times Generation Families living in cars YouTube
According to the narrator, Scott Pelley (NBC 60 Minutes, 2011), close to 25% of children in the US (that is 1 out of 4) live in poverty. In the video, Pelley interviews a number of children (and family members) who have experienced homelessness, living on the streets, in cars, and in shelters. As you reflect on the video and on Chapter 1 of the text Behavior Management: Principles And Practices of Positive Behavior Support, consider how various theorists would assess the needs of children living in poverty.
Select two of the following theoretical frameworks:
Developmental
Psychodynamic
Ecological
Social Learning
Discuss how proponents of each framework would analyze two of the children or families in the videos. What would they want educators to know or be aware of as they structure learning environments for each child? What were some sources of strength for the child (children) or the family? How might teachers make use of those sources of strength in creating educational environments that support learning? 2 pages / approx 550 words | APA | Essay | Psychology | Undergraduate |
