The case scenario provided will be used to answer the discussion questions that follow.

Case Scenario

Mr. C., a 32-year-old single man, is seeking information at the outpatient center regarding possible bariatric surgery for his obesity. He reports that he has always been heavy, even as a small child, but he has gained about 100 pounds in the last 2–3 years. Previous medical evaluations have not indicated any metabolic diseases, but he says he has sleep apnea and high blood pressure, which he tries to control with sodium restriction. He current works at a catalog telephone center.

Objective Data

Height: 68 inches; Weight 134.5 kg

Fasting Blood Glucose: 146/mg/dL
Total Cholesterol: 250mg/dL
Triglycerides: 312 mg/dL
HDL: 30 mg/dL
Critical Thinking Questions

What health risks associated with obesity does Mr. C. have? Is bariatric surgery an appropriate intervention? Why or why not?

Mr. C. has been diagnosed with peptic ulcer disease and the following medications have been ordered:

Magnesium hydroxide/aluminum hydroxide (Mylanta) 15 mL PO 1 hour before bedtime and 3 hours after mealtime and at bedtime.

Sucralfate/Carafate 1 g or 10ml suspension (500mg / 5mL) 1 hour before meals and at bedtime.
The patient reports eating meals at 7 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m., and a bedtime snack at 10 p.m. Plan an administration schedule that will be most therapeutic and acceptable to the patient.

Assess each of Mr. C.’s functional health patterns using the information given. (Hint: Functional health patterns include health-perception – health management, nutritional – metabolic, elimination, activity-exercise, sleep-rest, cognitive-perceptual, self-perception – self-concept, role-relationship, sexuality – reproductive, coping – stress tolerance.)
What actual or potential problems can you identify? Describe at least five problems and provide the rationale for each

1.You can decide the Essay title, Research Question , Essay type e.g Cause and effect, Definition, Comparison and contrast, Expository, Process, Classification – Division? , Purpose and reader.

2. The paper should three main points and a good thesis statement(please underline it)

3. The paper should include the four essay that I will upload. Must use these essays as references and include in the paper.

4. It is very important to paraphrase the following sentences well, then underline and use it in the essay.

Working holiday:

“But the nature of working holidays is different from that of short-term travel; working holiday programs involve different work content and relevant issues of cultural adaption, where consumers are often engaged in a more complicated decision-making processes.” (p. 96)

From: Yu-Ting Huang and Chin-Shang Hsu, (2013) “ A Confirmation of the Behavioral Intention of College Students in Recreational Sports Related Departments in Taiwan towards Overseas Working Holidays Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior”, The Journal of Human Resource and Adult Learning, 9 (2): 95-104

Events: Look back and come up with at least three to five significant changes in the stock – I won’t force a timeframe on you, but try to have some Company Specific and Market Specific (so if it is the Market – show that the Company was down e.g. 5% and market down 9% or vice versa and comment). You should probably have a sense of the company’s beta – risk is same as the market, less than or more thanвЂВ¦ If it is Company Specific it could be e.g. the company announced a delay in introducing their new product – stock fell 7% while market was 0% changed.

Below is what you gonna to write. Company description and Industry Description that are seperate, use small title, labal which paragraph is Company Description , which one is industry Description.

Extra Learning Options
Film: Standing in the Shadows of Motown by Paul Justman
Film: “Festival!”: Filmed at the Newport Folk Festival by Murray Learner
course material topics:
• Rock and folk-rock
• Soul music
• The marginalization of country music

ou will want to briefly summarize the material you read/what you saw in the film (see the course syllabus for the list of approved articles and films) and/or what you saw at the concert you attended (concert must have taken place during the quarter), and then discuss how it relates to the course material. Follow the same general format of the lesson board posts.

In order to earn credit for ELOs, you must:

1.Write an original discussion board post of 150-300 words summarizing the work or experience, and relating it to course material (6 points).

2.Respond to two other students (2 points per response): Read the posts of other students, and thoughtfully respond with questions, suggestions for further consideration, or your own insights.

Requirement:
For each discussion board post (including lesson boards and the experiential learning discussion board) please follow this format:

Each posting should be about 150-300 words.
If you quote a source, you must cite the source. MLA (Modern Language Association) style is the standard format for citations in the arts and humanities. Please see http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ (Links to an external site.) for guidelines.
If you express your opinion, give examples of what you like/don’t like, and describe the reasons for your opinion. “I love this,” or “That’s really ugly,” is not sufficient!
You are encouraged to include links to audio or video examples to support your argument (note that “argument” simply means the position you are taking regarding the topic, or the theory you are proposing. It doesn’t mean yelling and insults.).
Avoid inflammatory words and phrases. There are always substitutes you can use. If you disagree with another student’s writings, say specifically why. You are free to express your opinion about what they have said, but not to attack the writer. Quoting outside sources (again, cite your sources!) or offering examples will help support your argument.

response to the post 1:
On September 28th, I attended a concert put on by LANY.
Concert Summary: This is a pop band from Los Angeles. I was actually not very familiar with their music, but a friend wanted to take me. This is only a three man band, but they produce a very large sound by using backing tracks, reverb pedals, and drum pads. The backing tracks were made obvious at one point in the end of the show when there was a glitch and the wrong song’s backing track started playing over the end of the song they were playing. It took a bit for them to figure out what was going on, but they eventually figured it out. Overall, it was a very entertaining concert and it was fascinating to see how they achieved their sound with only three musicians.
Course Material: This concert related to course material we are learning about mostly in song structure and form. A lot of their songs followed the AABA format in a verse-chorus form. This style is common in pop music and allows easy listening for the audience. Verses take up most of the song and the choruses exist to contrast the verses. The reason this is common in pop music is because it is catchy and easy to follow.

response to post 2:
On October 6th, I attended a concert put on by Sam Feldt,
Concert summary:
Sam Feldt is a DJ from the Netherlands. I was only somewhat familiar with his music before I attended the concert. I went because I typically enjoy listening to artists that are similar to Sam Feldts’ style. It is interesting to see how concerts have changed through the years, from a full band with instruments ranging from drums to a microphone, to a single man jumping up and down with his laptop. Overall, I really enjoyed the concert it was interesting to see how Sam Felt produced his sound through use of electronic equipment instead of traditional instruments.
Course Material:
This concert relates to course material because the type music Sam Feldt plays is a prime example of technology changing the types of sounds that can be produced. Music can now be produced electronically, leading to an entirely new sound of music. This is similar to the invention of the electronic microphone. The electronic microphone allowed artists to sing softer, as well as develop the singing technique called crooning. The technological advance of the electronic microphone changed music and the production of sounds. As technology progresses, new sounds are created and music evolves.

Since its a project.
I just need a Docx version and a PDF version.

You can have as many sources you like

The Term Paper should be 6-8 pages and turned in on safe assign. If you have graphs or pictures it should run longer. Please double space using Ariel font 12 pt with normal or narrow margins. List your sources in a format I can referance them if I need to.

The first paragraph should clearly state the topic and summary of the paper, so as I read it I can compare the content with the intent of the paper

Assignment: Pick a transportation topic covered in the course and provide additional research on the topic expanding on the basics from the book. Become the expert on the topic. It is always best to pick a topic you are interested in because the papers are better.

Example of content:

Topic: Driver Hours

History on Topic: What is the history on driver requirements and laws related

Current State: New or proposed laws

Observations/measurements/statistics: Accident statistics, number of trucks on the road

Intro. To Law Enforcement
S.A.R.A. Model Assignment
Based on the following scenario and what you have learned in class regarding the S.A.R.A. Model, prepare a comprehensive step-by-step overview of how the S.A.R.A. model could be applied to this scenario. Your methods utilized to address the incidents may incorporate any policing operation/philosophy/tool that we have discussed in class, to include: community policing and problem solving, predictive policing and statistics such as crime mapping, crime prevention techniques, the CHEERS Test, the Complete Problem Solving Triangle and various patrol strategies.
You are expected to be creative and will be required to hypothesize the results/outcomes to complete the response and assessment sections. Be sure to discuss how you would measure the results of your efforts (numbers of calls for service, numbers of arrests, etc.).
Be sure to address each step thoroughly. Your project must be typed, double-spaced, in essay format, with 1” margins.
**There is a 3-page minimum (no maximum) for this assignment – the project will be graded on the totality of information provided, an understanding of the model and its application, and the thoroughness of the step completions.
You should begin with an introduction of crime hot spots, what a crime hot spot is, and how this scenario provides qualifications for hot spot policing. The rest of the paper should be broken down by each step of the S.A.R.A. process. Use headings for each S.A.R.A. step. Incorporate class material and your findings from your literature review to justify your tactics for addressing this problem.
For the Response and Assessment sections, it is expected that you hypothesize your results and indicate how you would respond to any issues that failed to be resolved. As always, be sure to cite all sources within the text using APA format and include a reference page (not included in the page count).

Scenario:
The Ashford County Police Department has been experiencing recurring burglaries during the hours of 9:00 am and 1:00 pm Monday-Friday in the High Street Apartment Complex close to a local high school. Approximately 30 calls for service have been received from renters in the complex reporting burglaries and filing police reports for the last two months. Electronics equipment and prescription drugs appear to be common items stolen.
The apartment complex is very old and sits in an urban area where people move in and out frequently and there is a high level of fear among the residents. The apartment complex is organized in a layout that creates a maze-like design with narrow walkways and one-way streets that make it difficult for responding patrol officers to address the problems effectively when they arrive on a call for service in their patrol cars. Many of the buildings appear worn down, several doors are missing the proper locks, many windows are cracked or broken and are covered in plastic, and bushes in many areas are overgrown and obscure the sidewalks. There is a lack of proper lighting and a large commercial trash bin is blocking the “private property – tenants only” sign that marks the entrance to the property.
Residents have also reported that a park that sits next to the apartment complex has been encountering problems with juvenile gangs that have been hanging out after school and into the evening. Lighting at the park is poor and there are no signs to indicate when the park is open or closed and that the park sits on private property. Property in the park has been vandalized resulting in broken windows, graffiti, and littered beer bottles and drug paraphernalia.
There are also anonymous reports to police that the nearby “Big J” convenience store has been giving alcohol to minors in return for electronics, that are then sold to a nearby pawn shop.
A county recreational soccer coach in the same area has contacted police to express concern that some of his players have been harassed by gang members on their way to practice at the nearby ball field. The gang members offered the players prescription drugs and the coach believes that some of the juveniles may have been armed.
Police believe that juvenile gang members from the High Street Complex are skipping school and may be the prime suspects. Increased patrols have been assigned to the area on the weekends and several summonses have been issued in response to some of the calls for service, but the problems continue.

Analyze this problem and provide a step-by-step S.A.R.A. response.

Instructions: Use this template to answer final exam question #2. You may delete the questions, but keep the roman numerals to separate your answers. This part of the midterm should be no more than 5 pages, 12 pt. font, double-spaced.

I. Briefly summarize the nature of this policy debate (one paragraph). II, III, and IV—Together around 2 pages
II. (i) Who are the major actors and what are their policy positions? (ii) Then explain why these actors have policy positions that were reported in the news by discussing the readings in the course. Are their policy positions consistent with what the readings/lecture have taught us? If they differ, discuss your thoughts about why they differ from what we expect from the existing literature.
Supporters of TPP: Opponents of TPP:
III. Which actors do you think have more influence over the Japanese government’s decision to pass ***
IV. Conventional wisdom in Japanese politics is that consumers are powerless compared to producer groups who are more organized and well-resourced. Do you think the politics of TPP confirm or disconfirm this view? Discuss.
V. Your Own “Mini” Research (1-2 pages)
What is missing from these newspaper articles? Find something that you would be
interested in finding out about this policy debate that was not discussed in the
newspaper articles. Do some preliminary research on it using newspaper database
(e.g., Factiva, see http://ucsd.libguides.com/c.php?g=90813&p=584415), library, and Google (Google, Google Scholar). Briefly summarize the question you wanted to find an answer to, how you went about finding the answers (i.e., sources) and your preliminary findings. Also, provide possible explanations for your findings. Don’t forget to cite! And no Wikipedia as a source, please.
