interpret quantitative information to determine effects of human activity on the environment and to evaluate environmentally sustainable decisionseffectively communicate and use scientific evidence regarding human impact on the environment with emphasize on sustainability and global citizenshipDescriptionThis data project will be composed of two parts.In Part I of your report, you will compile class data from the Week 5 Eco Moment on your water usage (found in the “Shared Data” Discussion, under Water Calculator Data) and summarize/analyze it with Excel (or similar spreadsheet program). Discuss what trend(s) you see in the class data that relate to course concepts. Think about the best way to present your findings–tabular or graphical form? There is no “right answer” here, as long as you pick a format that highlights your main findings and support your table(s) and/or graph(s) with clear text that interpret the results. Do any of the findings surprise you? Why or why not?In Part II, you will research and discuss possible solutions to the environmental problems reflected in the class data. Here, you will want to support your argument with reliable, scientific resources (e.g., peer-reviewed scientific papers, white papers, and government websites). Be sure to end with a strong concluding paragraph that summarizes the main data trend(s), along with the merits and relevance of your chosen solution(s).FormatThe page limit for your written report for both Part I and Part II is 2 pages, plus 1 page for the data table/graph(s) you use to present your findings in Part I. The page limit does not include an optional title page, the reference list, and the appendix with the raw class data. The report should be double-spaced with one-inch margins all around and use a 12-pt font.Here is the order in which to present the various project components:Part I = describe the class data we collected, include the methodology, relevant web tool (if applicable), the mean and sample size for each result, table/graph(s) that depict the main findings and/or trends; interpret the table/graph(s) for the readerPart II = summarize research on possible solutions; be sure to incorporate reliable in-text citations and focus on relevant, attainable solutionsReference ListAppendix of Raw Data = screenshot or copy in the Excel table showing all the class data (no analysis or mean)

Go to the EPA website and learn about “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”Are any of these options and/or types of programs available in YOUR local community/village/town? Which ones? Explain.What about in your home? Explain.If none are used in your local town or home, which could be? Explain.Please outline in your own words, one new thing you learned this week in the course. How does it apply to your life?Tell me, the professor, how this course is going for you so far? How do you find the material?

InstructionsReading scientific literature is important in professional development for anyone in the medical field. However, reading research articles and scientific articles can be challenging. This activity will reinforce your understanding of microbiology, as well as teach you how to read, comprehend, and apply concepts useful for microbiology.ActivityRead the following articles:”How to Prevent the Spread of Respiratory Illnesses in Disaster Evacuation Centers” (Links to an external site.)Citation: CDC: Center for Disease Control and Prevention. (n.d.) How to prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses in disaster evacuation centers. https://www.cdc.gov/disasters/disease/respiratoryic.html”Respiratory Diseases” (Links to an external site.)Citation: Matteelli, A., & Saleri, N.

Travel Medicine, 561–572. https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-323-03453-1.10057-4Answerthe following questions in 1–2 double-spaced pages following APA (7th ed.) format.How are the majority of respiratory diseases spread?Identify three important control measures to help decrease the spread of respiratory disease? Which of these measures is most effective in your locale?Identify two diseases from the articles that you found most interesting. Explain.

Have you ever wondered what infections look like from the pathogen’s perspective? If our immune systems are so amazing, why do we get sick at all? During this simulation, you’ll undertake a series of challenges in preparation for an important global health investigation. Can you complete each task and add to the planet’s immunological understanding?ActivityResearch and answer the following questions:How does the immune system protect against pathogens?What are the similarities and differences between the innate and adaptive immune systems?What is immunological memory and why is it important?This assignment should be 2–3 double-spaced pages in APA (7th ed.) format and have at least one outside resource. Be sure to cite your resources.

During the meeting, review the Microbiological Diseases: Nonrespiratory Infectious Diseases Case Study below:Mr. Jones is a 69-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital 10 days earlier with a diagnosis of acute diverticulitis. He was given intravenous fluids and empiric antibiotic coverage with ceftriaxone and metronidazole. His antibiotics were stopped after 7 days, and he continued to do well until today, when he developed abdominal pain, fever, and diarrhea. A diagnosis of Clostridium difficile colitis was made, and antibiotic treatment was initiated.Discuss the following questions:What diagnostic test would confirm the diagnosis?What risk factors did Mr. Jones have to acquire a Clostridium difficile infection?Why is oral but not intravenous vancomycin a potential treatment option for this infection?One person from each group should respond to this discussion with a link to their group’s recording and a summary of the discussion that took place.

Reflection Paper 2 (2/15)Choose this prompt for Reflection Paper 2 OR the prompt for 3/8. Do not submit both.General instructions are found in your syllabus (pgs. 5-6). Please review these first, since some of you missed the idea of the reflection paper because you only followed the specific prompt, not the general instructions!Reflection Paper 2: InfancyReflect on the birth of a child you know in their family context. Look at how this birth impacted family members, changed the course of development for adults (e.g., caring for an infant with Down syndrome or physical disability), and/or was impacted by or impacted larger contexts as well (for instance, someone lost a job, birth required parents to get to know deaf culture, an adoption). OR a lternatively, you may observe or interact with an infant and reflect on what you noticed about infant development and parent or caregiver-infant interaction.AssignmentReflection Paper 2 (3/8)General instructions are found in your syllabus (pgs. 5-6). Please review these first, since some of you have missed the idea of the reflection paper because you only followed the specific prompt, not the general instructions!Reflection Paper 2: Early ChildhoodFor this paper, you should take some time to observe a small child or children (18 months to 5 years), or to interact with one you know. Write a reflection paper on what aspects of development you noticed, including communication, frustration tolerance, emotion expressed, word usage, cognitive development, body coordination, and so on. Possible places to observe, in addition to homes: with family or friends, at grocery store, Saturday Farmer’s Market, library, neighborhood, religious service, outdoor space). ORIn family life, a young child is both impacting and being impacted by the family into which they are born. How we were experienced by our parents and family members as babies and small children may become part of the family narrative, with implications for attachment, temperament and goodness of fit, family dynamics, and larger family and cultural ideas and myths. You may write about how you were experienced as a young child. Or you may write more generally about family dynamics in your early years
