On the Discussion Board we will be exploring conceptual models. Hamric’s Integrative Model of Advance Practice Nursing This week you will describe how this model may help APNs articulate professional role identify and function. Conceptual models will serve as a framework for organizing beliefs and knowledge about your professional roles and competencies and provide a basis for further development of knowledge. Question: Select one model from the above list and read the original source description. Address how well the model meets the following purposes: a. Helping to organize your beliefs and knowledge about advanced practice nursing b. Providing structure for research on advanced practice nursing c. Providing a coherent structure in which concepts important to advanced practice nursing are identified and related to one another d. Guiding curriculum development for advanced practice nursing e. Allowing practitioners to see the bigger picture so that they can provide holistic and comprehensive care Guidelines: Support your responses with scholarly academic references using APA style format. You are not writing an APA paper–but citing your sources in APA format.  Assigned course readings and online library resources are preferred. Weekly lecture notes are designed as overviews to the topic for the respective week and should not serve as a citation or reference.

1. What is unique about the science of geography? Based on information in this chapter, define physical geography and review the geographic approach 2. Assess your geographic literacy by examining atlases and maps. What types of maps have you used—political? Physical? Topographic? Do you know what projections they employed? Do you know the names and locations of the four oceans, seven continents, and individual countries? Can you identify the new countries that have emerged since 1990? 3. What does timekeeping have to do with longitude? Explain their relationship. How is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) determined on Earth?

Our Op-Ed Recommendations Now that you have learned a bit more about Op-Eds, scour the media for Op-Eds you like. Read a few and then post one here. Tell us what you what interesting or intriguing about the Op-Ed. Is the topic timely or timeless? What makes the article thought-provoking? Does the argument add value to what has already been said about the issue? What do you think of the “voice” and the writing? Did you feel moved to act, share, or engage in some other way? To add your Padlet contribution, click anywhere on the wall, then use the link button to embed a link to your recommended article. Write your comments on the article, and you’re done. Be sure to add your name, either at the top as the title, (eg. Rami Khaled’s recommendation), orby signing up for Padlet and logging in under your name. You can see the full sized Padlet by clicking on the enlarge button top right (with everyone posting, it can be easy to miss your classmates’ work).

Please engage at least one of this week’s authors (Christopher Anderson and Michael Kackman) and both of the week’s screenings (Hopalong Cassidy, “The Feud” and Disneyland, “Davy Crockett, Indian Fighter”) to craft an organized and coherent 300-400 word response to the week’s material. You may choose to address any one or multiple of the below prompts and/or pose your own questions, critiques, and assessments. Please address specific and relevant aesthetic/thematic/narrative details about the episode(s), though, and use direct quotes or substantive paraphrases of the readings. You may start with some summary but synopsis should not comprise the bulk of your post. Some questions you might choose to consider (you do not need to answer all of them): How do Disneyland and Hopalong Cassidy reinforce or challenge American postwar ideals/values for children/young audiences? What appear to be the selected episodes’ main goals/purposes in terms of address and messaging? Where to you see the episodes as incorporating advertisements and other transmedia properties into their narratives, aesthetics, characters, or formats? How do the programs speak to kids as “citizen consumers”? How are these programs constructed as “educational” texts for young people and to what social/ideological effect(s)? What might they “teach” children about U.S. race and gender dynamics? How do “The Feud” and “Davy Crockett, Indian Fighter” compare/contrast in terms of their visual styles and genre orientations? How do these similarities and/or differences speak to Walt Disney’s and William Boyd’s modes of authorial branding?  In what ways do these children’s episodes diverge from or align with other 1950s television genres/programs? How might we distinguish TV’s approach to teen/adolescent marketing from advertising directed towards kids?  Do these programs seem “adaptable” to numerous markets/audiences or relatively “niche” in their appeal? How and why so? Screen link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zmiD3Y-AznkCUEVRLz2tFvN4XMuC1Qip/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LbCO06rMQ7yfazbDqK7s4XnAg5-Le_b-/view?usp=sharing

Please answer the following questions .the essays should be minimum 800 words for each question. Try to answer the question directly without going into details of other issues. Please write a concise clear essay directly tackling the question with properly cited footnotes when necessary.  Make sure that your similarity index is not higher than 14%. Higher similarity scores will lead to reduced points. Make sure that you comply with these requirements 1- How/ why is intersubjectivity important in dealing with the theoretical and practical issues of IR? Make sure to indicate how intersubjectivity is utilised in different theories and what their implications are.  2- Why is there no international theory as Martin Wight claims? And why is there no nonWestern IR theory? Please deal with both parts of the question by uniting them under a single problematique, linking issues of Western and non-Western IR theory

Some podcasts have the ability to change lives. Find at least one and describe how this happened. As usual, double spaced with 5 paragraphs.

The boundaries of an ecosystem are often defined in terms of the general characteristics of the plants and animals that live in an area, For example the boundaries of a desert ecosystem might be where moisture increases and vegetation becomes more abundant. All ecosystems are open with regard to energy sources (usually the sun), but consider the sources of water, air, food, building material and other resources.  Describe the sources and explain where fo they come from.
