October 18th, 2020 APA (edition "APA 7"), Law Comments Off on Mythbusters and Null Hypotheses

Mythbusters and Null Hypotheses

One of the funniest episodes of the Mythbusters is also one that is full of different experiments and hypothesis testing examples. Adam and Jaime try 4 different techniques for sobering up and make conclusions either busted (i.e., fail to reject the null) or plausible (i.e., reject the null) about each. Do you agree with their conclusions? Which ones do you agree with? Why do you agree or disagree?

Alterations in Renal and Musculoskeletal System (Pathophysiology)

A 30 year old woman recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), complains of general fatigue and weight loss along with symmetric joint welling, stiffness, and pain.  The stiffness is more prominent in the morning and subsides during the day.  Laboratory measures reveal an Rheumatoid Factor (RF) of 120 IU/ml

Range for RF (nonreactive, 0 to 39 IU/mL; weakly reactive, 40 to 79 IU/ml; reactive, > 80 IU/ml).

Q1. Describe the immunopathogenesis of the joint changes that occur in RA.

Q2.  What is the significance of her RF test results?

Q3. How do her complaints of general fatigue and weight loss related to the RA disease process?

October 18th, 2020 APA (edition "APA 7"), Social Sciences Comments Off on See instructions

See instructions

Briefly present an organization and summarize some problem/issue/challenge that the organization seeks to address using evidence to support their description.

Next analyze how dynamics of power, privilege, and oppression create, support, or inhibit the resolution of the challenge. This will entail identifying factors internal and external to the organization (staff, service users, limited resources, municipal policies, etc.) that contribute to the issue.

Then identify the role of the social worker as a change agent in addressing this challenge and identify the organizations readiness to change, which includes specifying existing (internal and external) barriers and supports.

Then identify three possible alternative change interventions and explain which of these they consider to be the optimal choice. They must justify this choice using the social work values of social, economic, and environmental justice.

Then provide an evaluation strategy to assess the effectiveness of the intervention.

All citations and references must be written in APA style.  Use below text as needed.
