Description

Because knowledge of human physiology and pathophysiology has grown rapidly over the past 100 years, it is no longer logical to teach each discrete disease process in a single pathophysiology course. Instead, we focus on educating students to identify deviation from normal physiology by identifying themes of alteration that can be applied to various diseases within body function systems so that they will be able to apply principles of pathophysiology to unfamiliar disease processes and infer general mechanisms of disease, appropriate treatment modalities. The final essay in this course will ask you to demonstrate this essential skill. You will also be creating a concept map and a case study as a part of this project.

Instructions

For your final essay, you will write a 4-8 **CANNOT EXCEED 8 PAGES** page paper examining the pathophysiology of a complex, multi-system disease process.

A complex, multi-system disease process is defined as a condition or disorder that either affects the whole body or involves multiple organs. Your textbook uses diabetes as an example of a complex, multi-system disease process; while fundamentally a disease of dysfunctional glucose regulation, it affects nearly every system in the body and leads to altered elimination, altered perfusion, and so on.

You may select any complex, multi-system disease process that interests you except diabetes–the text has covered this disease in great detail. Some examples of disease process which may be explored include chronic kidney disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjgren’s syndrome, or vasculitis. There are, of course, many other diseases which would be appropriate to explore as nearly every disease process in the human body affects more than one physiologic system. If you have concerns about the appropriateness of your selected disease process, please contact the instructor early in the process of your project to review.

The essay should include four major sections.

1. First, you should describe the altered physiology that leads to the disease state you have chosen. This may include more than one specific alteration.

2. Second, you should describe the clinical manifestations present in the disease, and explain why these manifestations present using pathophysiologic concepts to form your explanation.

3. Third, you should explain how the physiologic alteration causes multi-system alterations in function.

4. Finally, you should describe the treatment modalities used to restore normal function and give a simple explanation as to how the normal function is restored.

Your must follow APA format with appropriate citations

You are to submit a 2-3-page paper, answering the questions listed below.

Consider you are starting your own business. Would it be a for profit or nonprofit? Defend your choice.

Describe the business, and discuss any business plan components necessary to start your own business. Make sure you provide enough detail to demonstrate that you have thought it through.

You need to provide a minimum of two academic or peer-reviewed references (each reference must be cited within the paper). The page length does not include the title or reference pages. APA formatting (7th Edition) is required. Your paper is to be an original composition, with any quotes or paraphrasing supporting your thoughts, not replacing your thoughts. Your paper must begin with an introduction and end with a conclusion or summary.

*** Please use the template provided and write about a Non-profit***

This my essay we call it chevy:
Higher education is a concept that is highly regarded and associated with the development of society. It focuses on creating and initiating prepared minds for graduates in handling issues arising in the global construct (Williams, 2017). It functions to ensure that knowledge acquisition attains relevance by creating specialized programs that promote social cohesion. Since higher education affects most people across the culturally diverse world, it is considered a public service entity. It means that it becomes a human right that should be accessed by every individual (Shaw, 2018). It enables people to get ahead of work and life by developing relevance through the development of skills. Through this, higher education creates more benefits, which helps in reforming processes across the globe.

Based on the public nature of higher education, it should be funded as a public good. The government is responsible for handling issues regarding the public domain (Shaw, 2018). They also play a vital role in controlling the funding allocated to different sectors of the economy (Santiago et al., 2019). It is, therefore, their mandate to pay for education by making it available to most of the people within the country.

Higher education is, therefore, essential and plays a significant role in facilitating development. Ideas generated within this context does not make a difference with which institution is discussed (Santiago et al., 2019). As described through the Overview of Higher Education in the United States, institutions vary in purpose and mission. The existence of public and private institutions ensures that they have diverse responsibilities (Williams, 2017). The institutions developed within the US are essential in making higher education accessible and affordable to the adverse category of people. The difference in the structural and initial implementation of processes creates a synergy where competition is enabled. It is essential to consider that the purposes of the institutions may vary.

My first colleagues is Ford essay:
Higher education should be seen more as a way to raise the level of education knowledge. America is known to be one of the nations that the world looks up to and continue to keep this status the citizens need to have the knowledge to achieve excellence, enter better careers, and operate this country well. It should be a culture to want to have educated citizens and this means that investment needs to be focused here by our government. Many colleges and universities may see higher education as a “private good”, due to the fact that they earn money from students (NYU,20). Though there are many schools that focus on the main cause and this is top quality, effective education for students. As I personally would like to see this as a public service it is not. All individuals must pay and work to gain more knowledge and enter a professional field of their choosing. Colleges and Universities enable students to be able to do this.       

        The cost of gaining more knowledge in a higher institution is pricey. It is up to the student to decide how they are going to pay for classes. Though the government has a huge role to play in helping finance it’s citizens in paying for school. Colleges and Universities are financed in the idea of limited government involvement and the belief of market competition to improve quality and efficiency (Acenet.edu). Universities make revenue through tuition and fee payments from students. This meaning it is their responsibility to figure out how to pay for the services. The government backs the institutions by offering grants, federal/state loans, etc.         

        It is important to realize that the American Council of Education explains how community colleges receive revenue from local governments, but universities do not as often. There are many methods for universities to help students prepare to pay for schooling, and it is up to the individual to figure it out.         

        It does make a difference when it comes to what institution is being discussed. The “Overview of Higher Education” presentation goes into great detail about this. Liberal arts colleges and Universities offer students to obtain up to Master’s Degrees. Community Colleges offer associates degrees to prepare students to transfer to four-year institution’s (Laureate-media, 20). These institution’s offer different programs depending on the path that the student wants to take. Some are more affordable and have higher acceptance rates while others are vice versa. They all hold different responsibilities of what they offer for the student. It creates a diverse atmosphere for individuals to decide what school to attend based off programs, pricing, classes, etc.       

    In conclusion, I believe that higher education is greatly needed in this nation. I believe people have many options in choosing how, where, and when they want to attend a higher institution. It truly is a “private good” because it enables us to educate ourselves and get positions that other individuals may not qualify for.

This essay ford compare it to my own essay and follow the instructions that is above make sure their good reference and strong body

The essay is chevy compare it to my own essay.the second person essay we call Dodge:::The purpose of a public service is to help others and/or expand the greater good of society. Higher Education takes part in advancing the knowledge and culture in society, meaning it benefits society, thus it should be seen as a public service.  In Defense of American Higher Education, Gumport (2001, p. 87) reports that some see higher education as a corporate model, but even producing and selling goods and services, training the workforce, advancing economic development and performing research can also be seen as ways in which higher education is benefiting society, therefore is still a public service.
Society is its people, businesses and government, and since higher education benefits society, then the alliances that make up a society should take part in paying for higher education. Many people argue about the cost of Higher Education, but do they really know what a Higher Education needs in order to ensure the success of its students? Higher Education is not only instructors and students, its administrators, business officers, legal experts, student affairs staff, countless student services and facilities (Altbach, 2001). Each of these requires people, knowledge, commitment, technology and/or equipment and time. If one is missing, it may alter the success of the student and possibly the success of the next generation.
Although there are several types of institutions such as private, public, religious, specific population, community colleges and technical schools (U.S. Department of Education, 2005), all serve a purpose to educate and train students to become successful in their career field and pass it on to the next generation. Some institutions may only specialize and focus on particular subjects and/or trainings, but once these students have completed their schooling, they are prepared to enter the career field. At Research Universities instructors are presumed to focus more on their research than their teaching (Altbach, 2001), but this research can be used to enhance higher education and since higher education is a public service, it improves society. Society never remains the same there are constant changes, so we need this research to prepare us for whatever society throws at us.

This week, we are really focusing on the end of that introduction: Now, we can see that this is rather inconsequential when talking about water bottles, but the overall concept is important. What happens when we are talking about issues of race, class, gender, sexuality and so on? That is, how do my ideas of groups of people (immigrants, African-Americans, women, gay people, transgender people etc.) get confirmed or challenged in social interaction?

In Salvaging Decency, Kusenbach (ISL #32) presents a very interesting study of how mobile home residents manage the symbols or social stigma attached to their homes, their communities and their values.

In a complete 2-3 page reflection paper, do the following: (1) discuss three main ideas emerging from Kusenbachs study about mobile home residents; (2) describe your neighborhood/community and any symbols or social stigma (good neighborhood, bad neighborhood, etc.) attached to it, similar to what emerges in Kusenbachs study; and, (3) discuss any ways in which you see yourself, or others around you, engaging in the distancing, bordering or fencing that Kusenbach describes. The task here is to reflect upon the ideas emerging in Kusenbachs study in relationship to your own neighborhood/community. What racial, cultural, social, economic or political symbols or stigma are attached to your neighborhood/community?

As a reminder, when discussing assigned course material, the task is always to incorporate direct quotations. You will need to do that here for Kusenbach.
