A Pew Research Center study (Mitchell, Gottfried, Barthel & Sumida, 2018 (https://www.journalism.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2018/06/PJ_2018.06.18_fact-opinion_FINAL.pdf) explored peoples ability to distinguish between factual and opinion statements in the news. This is obviously an important research topic in age of partisan politics, denigration of the news media and accusations of false news.

The study of some 5,000 U.S. adults asked participants to distinguish between five factual statements and five opinion statements. A majority of participants correctly identified at least three of the five statements in each set, but this result is only a little better than random guessing. Far fewer got all five correct and roughly a quarter got most or all wrong.

Assume that in response to such data your campus has initiated an across-the-curriculum program to ensure that all majors graduate with a basic ability to distinguish fact from opinion. Follow-up surveys of graduating seniors indicate that they have an acceptable ability to do this. However, as we know, surveys do not address causality.

What experiment(s) might you design to help assess whether the ability of graduating seniors to distinguish fact from opinion is a function of the campus instructional program and not of other relevant experiences such as being politically active, or having taken other relevant courses such as philosophy, logic, debate, political science or media criticism?

Assume that your dependent variable is the ability to distinguish a statement of fact from an opinion.

Hint: In this Pew study, a factual statement is defined as one that can be proven or disproven by objective evidence.

impact statement

This short impact statement is for my special considerations application in university, Uni ask me to provide an impact statement to describing how I been affected and an affected period (start and end dates) indicating the duration  were affected for the assessment task. I don’t know how to write a formal impact statement, so here’s my brief description of the situation, and then I hope you can help me write it.

The official examination time for ECOS3010  is April 9 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., the duration is one hour. When the exam lasted for forty minutes, my computer suddenly crashed down, and then also can not turn on, even its still get charging , in fact, this sudden black screen situation my computer has appeared before, but I did not pay attention to. At that time I immediately sent an email to the professor and his email reply is to let me directly apply for the special consideration, and take screenshot or pictures as evidence, but at that time my computer has been unable to open it, so I can not take any screenshot.But i took an short video to prove that I cannot open the laptop, I don’t know weather its helpful. so the duration that I been affected is between 2:40-3:00 pm on 9th april.

Financial Metrics Project

JOHNSON & JOHNSON is the company to be used in the project.  The student will determine for the company, its cash flow, growth rate, and discount rate. The student will use a discounted cash flow technique as well as relative valuation for determining the value of the companys common stock.     

The specific components of the assignment should include:
1.    A discussion of how the cash flow, growth rate, and discount rate were determined.
2.    Implementation of the discounted cash flow valuation method.
3.    A description of why the comparable companies were selected for implementation of the relative valuation method.
4.    Implementation of the relative valuation method.
5.    Recommendation of whether or not the companys stock should be bought

NB. Use the GuruFocus screenshots of Johnson & Johnson to find the necessary financial numbers for the project.

Attached below is a sample and an example of Tiffany & Co. of the calculations and methods for the valuation and relative valuation method.

            Pressure injuries and ulcers are very important to keep discussing because of their commonality, ease of being acquired amongst our vulnerable populations, and associated complications. Pressure ulcer damages from my experience can develop very quickly and complicate a patients condition severely. In Dlugasch and Story (2021) it is mentioned how pressure injuries can even result in as fast as one hour for some. They are also very expensive to treat and painful.

As for the pathophysiology of pressure injuries and ulcers, unrelieved and applied pressure against tissues, from ones own bones or devices, and reperfusion injury is involved. When pressure exceeds skin arteriolar pressure of 32 mmHg, hypoxia occurs (Dlugasch & Story, 2021). If this pressure isnt frequently relieved, for adequate perfusion to be restored, necrosis occurs. Often by this point, skin tissues die and slough off. The longer the pressure sustains, the more tissue becomes involved. Normally however, one frequently moves and constantly repositions themselves, even if it isnt noticed; therefore, avoiding pressure injuries without realizing it. Affected tissue, previously pale due to pressure cutting off circulation, might then be pink and have blanchable redness as reperfusion occurs; non-blanchable redness however might represent affected and dying tissue. Furthermore, pressure injuries also occur within the body over several tissue layers receiving increased pressure over a bony area. For example, when one sits, 300 mmHg of pressure is applied over the ischial tuberosities and onto surrounding tissues (Dlugasch & Story, 2021). Again, one might not realize it, but they often move and reposition their weight; constantly reperfusing tissues before they necrotize. One unable to reposition their weight and restore timely perfusion however, will develop necrosis in affected and deeper tissues. Additionally, the pathophysiology of pressure injuries also involves reperfusion injury (Dlugasch & Story, 2021). When reperfusion is restored, inflammation and reactive oxygen species further damage cellular membranes leading to further cellular death.

Lastly, the development of pressure injuries depend on various health factors, which is why some are more affected than others. Those developing pressure ulcers often have underlying diseases affecting circulation, have sensation impairments from neuropathies, cognitive or motor issues impairing mobility, and malnutrition making any wound healing more difficult than normally.

The pathophysiology of acne vulgaris is complex, with both internal and external triggers characterized by increased sebum production and abnormal desquamation of epithelial cells; this condition develops initially with the formation of microcomedo that obstructs the follicular canal, which is aggravated by the fusion of  corneocytes and hyperkeratosis of the follicular lining resulting in keratin and sebum formation in the follicle (Well, 2018). In addition, the process of acne vulgaris formation continues with the obstruction by the plug also called comedone that triggers the inflammatory process, the sebaceous gland duct and the cells continue to pack into the follicle, the plug expands behind a small follicular opening to the skin resulting in distension of the follicle and formation of a closed comedone, dilating the pores, and reopening the plug, and the final result is the formation of blackhead (Well, 2018). Acne vulgaris is caused by Propionibacterium that lives in the pilosebaceous follicle, originates from the normal flora of the skin and it causes inflammation  and irritation associated with acne vulgaris; hormonal changes such as menses, testosterones, sex hormones, androgen hormones, polycystic ovarian syndromes, medications like Litium, phenytoin, cosmetics products, tight clothing and under garments can all contribute to acne vulgariS as external factors (Well, 2018). Acne vulgaris pathophysiology mechanism follows four common steps including formation of excessive keratin in the hair follicles, overproduction of of sebum by the hair follicles, invasion of the bacteria called Propionibacterium that is part of the skin normal flora, and the inflammatory process; and acne vulgaris is generally noted on the face, neck, shoulders, trunk, arms, legs and buttocks, varying in severity (Dlugasch, Story, 2021). Overall, Acne Vulgaris affects over 65 millions people worldwide with physical, psychological, financial, esthetic impacts on the patients; usually diagnosed with history and physical examination and treated based on the severity using medications such as Azelaic acid, Salicylic acid, Benzoyl Peroxide; alternative therapies such as tea tree oil, brewers Yeast, micro dermal and laser therapies; diet and proper hygiene (Dlugasch, Story, 2021).
