Discuss traditional ways of diagnosing respiratory diseases

/in /by

Start with discussing respiratory viruses (airborne and droplet) and the dangers they pose and hence the need for diagnoses and treatment measures for such diseases

Then discuss masks: how they are used now on a daily basis such as managing disease spread and in the medical field as well as how they are used in diagnosing diseases (sampling masks)

Discuss traditional ways of diagnosing respiratory diseases like covid and TB (using sputum, PCR testing, etc) and how this compares in terms of accuracy and how early they can detect viruses to sampling masks.

The evolution of sampling masks throughout history and what current research is done on them/ further areas that have not yet been researched

Discuss different types of masks with emphasis on the ones used in diagnosis (e.g. duckbilled masks), what materials these masks are made from, and the material’s impact on the environment.

The manufacturing process of current sampling masks used and cost if possible and ways that this can be improved (?)

what are the alternative materials these masks can be made out of in order to reduce its cost and/or environmental impact?

Ethical Decision-making For Human and Social Services

/in /by

Ethical Decision-making For Human and Social Services; As you explored, ethical dilemmas are referred to as such because they involve conflicting values and are not easy to resolve. Furthermore, ethical standards and codes do not often give prescriptive advice for specific situations. For these situations, it is useful to employ ethical decision-making models. These models are frameworks that provide sequential steps to guide your research, thinking, and actions regarding dilemmas you may face.

Your course text presents one ethical decision-making model in detail, but it mentions several others. In your current or future roles as a human and social services professional, the organization for which you work may have adopted models they wish you to use, or you may be free to choose your own. As you become more familiar with the models available, you may wish to select models that closely align with your professional values and perspectives. Finally, remember that when you make ethical decisions in your professional practice, clients should be included in this process whenever possible.

For this Assignment, you apply the ethical decision-making model in your course text to a specific event or issue relevant to working within a family system.

To Prepare:

Select a current event or issue related to ethics for human and social services professionals working within a family system. It is not necessary to select an issue for this Assignment that contains cultural elements, although you may if you wish.
Review the “Ethical Decision Making Model” found in Chapter 3 of your course text Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions. Consider how you would apply this model to the event or issue you selected. If your selected issue does contain cultural elements, you may consider applying the transcultural integrative ethical decision-making model discussed in the article “A Transcultural Integrative Model for Ethical Decision Making in Counseling.”

Using the ethical decision-making model, write a paper in which you:

Describe your selected ethical event or issue related to working within a family system. Be concise yet specific about the ethical issues present.
Explain how you, as a professional, would resolve the dilemma using the steps of the ethical decision-making model. Use the NOHS standards as your relevant code of ethics to clarify the dilemma. For the step regarding consultation, explain what type of professional(s) you would need to contact for consultation

Explain what Rome I Regulation is about

/in /by

The two questions are :
1) Critically evaluate whether Art 6 of Rome I provides sufficient protection for consumers who enter into cross-border contracts. (1500 words)

Link to Rome I Regulation: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32008R0593&from=en

Link to Giuliano and Lagarde Report: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:31980Y1031(01):EN: HTML – this report may be considered in ascertaining the meaning or effect of any provision of the Rome Convention.

*IMPORTANT* : there should be mention of how UK would be affected due to Brexit as it is no longer a part of the EU and a short discussion on how protections under Art 6 might change for an independent state like the UK that is not part of the EU but deals with cross-border contracts with member states of the EU. This can be a short paragraph towards the end of the essay.

A brief outline of question 1 :

Introduction: Explain what Rome I Regulation is about, then move on to Article 6 of the regulation on the applicable for consumer contracts. End introduction with what the essay intends to discuss – that Art 6 does not provide sufficient protection/that it does provide sufficient protection.

Body: Article 6(1) of Rome I, where applicable law is governed by the country in which the consumer is habitual resident to (Art 19 for what constitutes ‘habitual residence’) and go through the 2 instances where an exception can be made. Use case law to reference examples of cases within the scope of Rome I and art 6 as well as the exceptions.

Next, critically evaluating whether article 6 provides enough protection by identifying the limitations of article 6 and use case law to support arguments.a

After identifying limitations, there should be some suggestions made as to any amendments that could be made to afford further protection to consumers and why there should be more protection, referencing case law to support argument.

Conclusion :
should include a summary of whether after critical evaluation if article 6 provides adequate protection to consumers in cross-border contracts and how the amendments suggested can help provide more protection.

Moderata Fonte and Lucrezia Marinella

/in /by

The women that this paper will be focusing on are Moderata Fonte and Lucrezia Marinella. Moderata Fonte and Lucrezia Marinella were writing during the late 16th century and the early 17th century in Venice. Many of their pieces included debates about men, women, marriage, motherhood, and what it meant to be an intellectual. Women writers throughout the Renaissance are often overlooked and not recognized nearly enough in education today. These women were pushing against the status quo and wanted their voices to be heard. These women were considered radical for their creative expression and their mindset about education and writing served as a catalyst for young women in education during the Renaissance. Moderata Fonte and Lucrezia Marinella were talented female writers who should have a greater historical presence in society because of their literary accomplishments. Their writing in the Renaissance is still prevalent in modern-day society specifically relating to its relation to the modern-day feminist.

The lens of sociological research methodology

/in /by

Utilizing nonparticipant observation, participant observation, ethnography or ethnography observe and record a detailed account of a social context or virtual social context that you are no stranger to (think local coffee shop, shopping mall, church or night club, a blog, Twitter feed, or Instagram) from a sociological perspective. Be careful to be objective and ethically neutral. Do not include judgments or opinions of behaviors but rather, as best as possible, systematic observations.

Third, discuss how a common-sense view of that social setting may look different from a sociological one. Does looking through the lens of sociological research methodology transform how that social space may be viewed. Substantiate your views.

Fourth and finally, post a response to another classmate’s posting discussing your thoughts in a respectful and thoughtful manner. What stood out to you about their observations and the behaviors occurring?

The nuclear disaster at Chernobyl

Testimonial Narrative Genre in the Voices of Chernobyl

In addition to using quotes from the book, support your argument with evidence from 3 additional sources. In the U.S., Alexievich’s work has not received a lot of attention, much of which is due to traditional assumptions about what a literary text should look like and do. As a result, you will not find many scholarships about her work in academic journals; however, you can find book reviews of her work as well as articles in newspapers, magazines, or journals that give you some background knowledge of the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl and Alexievich’s method of gathering information and writing her books.

Suggested sources: book reviews, interviews with the author (check YouTube), Alexievich’s website, and any of the sources linked in our Canvas site (for example, the article “The Memory Keeper”)
