Using the Biomechanics & Running Economy Article, please answer the questions below.

1. What is the traditional measure that is/has been used to represent Running Economy (RE)? Why is running economy (or economy of effort for that matter) important to endurance athletes?
2. What does Dr. Anderson mean when he refers to aerobic power?
3. Why would it be difficult to define/determine true mechanical efficiency of running?
4. What effect would the variables of height, weight, limb length and distribution of mass have on running performance?
5. In regards to gait, what two components of gait combine to determine running speed?
6. Why would stride length vary greatly between individuals (i.e., why would each individual have their own, specific, stride length)? Why would purposely increasing or decreasing this length most likely have a negative effect on performance?
7. Why would the stretch-shortening cycle play a significant role in improving RE? Which type of muscle contraction(s) would augment/increase the storage of elastic energy in tendons?
8. How might training influence RE?
9. What happens to connective tissue as we age? What implications does this have for running performance?

Instructions
For the Final Paper, students will design their own peacekeeping operation. Students should choose an existing international or intra-state conflict for which there is not currently a UN peacekeeping operation assigned OR design an alternative peacekeeping operation that differs significantly from an existing UN peacekeeping operation.. Please note that the conflict from our simulation is not an option. Students will develop their own multi-dimensional UN peacekeeping operation for their chosen conflicts using the Integrated Mission Planning Process. This operation must involve at least two humanitarian, two security, and two development tasks. In a 5-7 page paper, students will complete the following planning steps:

1. Background information on conflict (very brief);
2. A statement that identifies the mandate;
3. Define the six tasks and identify techniques/methods for achieving them;
4. Discuss the concept of operations, mission planning, the chain of command, force structure, considerations for the unity, security, and cohesion of the force, training and equipment, risk assessment, potential threats to success, and strategy and timeline for deployment;
5. Discuss Basic Principles (strategies for obtaining consent, maintaining impartiality, and non-use/use of force)
6. Discuss strategies and timeline for transition and exit.

Post a brief summary of your peacekeeping operation on the corresponding Forum by Thursday of Week 8 and respond to at least two other students’ postings by Sunday of Week 8. The final paper should be saved as a Word file, uploaded into the assignment sheet and submitted for grading by Sunday of Week 8. Be sure to cite your sources appropriately!

Leadership Style

October 27, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 7"), Business and Management

Directions:

Locate the annotated bibliography and outline you created in the Module 2 assignment. Using the outline you developed, the information from the annotated bibliography, and the feedback provided by your instructor, write a paper (2,000-2,250 words) that synthesizes three of the articles assigned in the first two modules of this course with the two (or more) topically-related, empirical articles you selected. Do that by including the following:

A statement of at least three common themes addressed in all of the articles.
A statement of the conclusions that can be drawn when the articles are taken together as a single entity. What is the overall message of the group of articles? Focus specifically on the connection between leadership style and leadership theory in areas such as individual identity, culture, and worldview. What are the potential effects of these and other individual leadership characteristics and style; how do they influence the methods leaders choose to guide groups or organizations?

(I will attach the articles mentioned in the directions to this portal, there are still two more empirical articles with the related topic that need to be included.)

Earthquakes and People
We have been hearing about disastrous earthquakes and Tsunamis all
over the world these days. This and other geological phenomena are described
in chapter 27 of your textbook. Your learning in this course will be incomplete if
those topics are untouched. Make a media production of the following aspects of
the Tsunami and/or earthquake, making special reference to the earthquake
and/or Tsunami of significant magnitude that happened in any part of the world
in 2017/2018/2019/2020. The following are the topics you need to cover through
the activity.
1. How are earthquakes caused? Explain the different types of seismic waves.
How are they detected? How are earthquakes predicted? Why are tsunamis
difficult to detect? What is a Tsunami? How are earthquakes and Tsunamis
related?
2. Describe the earthquake you have chosen. Make a PowerPoint presentation
of the cause, origin, places hit, and the disaster caused by these events.
Use maps, pictures, and clear information in an organized manner.
3. Using appropriate visuals, discuss the social and economic impact of the
Tsunami and/or the earthquakes on the people affected and the world in general.
4. How does this earthquake of 2017/18/2019/2020 you chose to study
compare with those of two previous years? What were the differences/
similarities this time? Were there any forecasts or alerts? Describe them.

The PowerPoint Presentation should include all the information required in the Project from reliable sources, all cited “in-text” and on one or more Reference slides in correct APA, and presentation notes.
