Consider when you are listening to a new patient who says they have had a fever for 3 days. You would use your knowledge and experience with probability to come to a diagnosis. What changes those probabilities? Is it age, is it other symptoms, is it new study results? What is the source of these probabilities and what causes these probabilities to change? This discussion is not to debate diagnoses, but to focus on the sources and influences on probabilities. Remember to use 2 outside resources in the main post, which needs to be on or before Wednesday. Once can be a textbook and the other a scholarly source. Also cite the sources. APA format for in-text citations and list of references

Comparing Magazine or Online Nutrition Information* with Published Research.

Comparing Magazine or Online Nutrition Information* with Published Research. Scientific research sometimes contraindicates nutrition information in Health and Fitness magazines or from retail supplement stores. The information may not be completely false, but the information could be exaggerated, embellished, or simply not based on research. However, the information could be very accurate. Select an article about a specific nutrition recommendation or a specific nutrition supplement from a Health and Fitness magazine or website. Most Health and Fitness magazines and websites now hire a Nutrition and/or Fitness professional to write their nutrition related articles.

Thus, instead of an article, you can choose information from a retail website, an online advertisement, or information listed on a supplement container. Please note supplements that are very new (so new that research has not yet been conducted) would not be a good choice for this assignment. Also, do not select Creatine, as its proposed benefits are well documented. Research the same nutrition recommendation or supplement using sources such as published research, scientific journals, textbooks, or reliable websites (commonly ending with .edu, .gov, or .org). Instructions 1. List your selected Nutrition Recommendation or Supplement. 2. List the exact source of the claims or proposed benefits (magazine, website, advertisement, actual supplement container, etc.). If possible, provide a web link. If using a print advertisement or supplement container, submit a picture or photo. 3. List the exact claims and/or proposed benefits from your selected magazine article, website, advertisement, commercial, or supplement container. 4. Using reputable sources, summarize actual research results of the claims or benefits from #3. Two paragraphs minimum. 5. Provide at least 2 references. Our textbook can be used for 1 of the 2 references. Use APA style and format when listing and citing your references. See the Week 2 folder for information on APA style. 6. Compare the information from #3 and #4. One paragraph minimum. This assignment must be typed, and please number the various parts of your submitted assignment (as noted in the Instructions above: 1, 2, and so on). *Or information from health and fitness websites, retail and online supplement stores, advertisements, or supplements containers.

Description

Both parts to be completed in similar word count and please add harvard referencing. Part 1a Explain the two branches of law within the English Legal System, and with relevant cases, please examine the usefulness of the Alternative Dispute Resolution and whether it should replace the courts as the venue in resolving legal disputes. Part 1b Paul is constructing his new holiday home on an exposed sea front site. He goes to ‘Brick-for-All’, a local building supplies firm, to buy bricks.

Paul says that the bricks are required for external use, but does not say where his house is being constructed. Brick-for-All shows the range of brick types to Paul, who chooses one called the ‘Sparkling Brick’. Aileen, Brick-for-All’s manager wishes to discuss the limitations on the ‘Sparking Brick’, however she hesitated as Paul appears to be in the rush to purchase the bricks. Paul signed the contract with Brick-for-All and the bricks are delivered and Paul uses them in the construction of his house. ‘Sparkling Bricks’ are made not of clay, like other types of brick, but of compressed paper. In respect of the bricks used on the front of the house, which face the sea, a chemical reaction caused by contact with significant amounts of sea salt renders them porous so that damp enters the houses.

The bricks used on the walls at the rear and sides of the house, which do not come into contact with seawater, do not allow damp into the house. As a result of the damage to the front walls, the houses are unfit for human habitation and Paul has no option but to demolish them. Advise Paul on his entitlement under the terms of the contract, specifically under the Consumer Rights Act 2015

The Dynamic Hijab: A Veil that Uncovers Identity and Difference

The Dynamic Hijab: A Veil that Uncovers Identity and Difference

Safar, which means travel or journey in Arabic, is a photographic project with the hijab, the head cover worn by Muslim women, as the main subject. The project consists of printed photographs of different pieces of hijab, video projections representing the process of the tying of hijab, and a musical track using the Oud as its sole instrument playing in the background. This paper discusses how the subject matter in this artwork, the hijab, is used to represent and connect the concepts of identity and belonging, difference and sharing, and cultural roots and self development. This is done by exploring the multidimensions of the hijab, and employing an understanding of a dynamic concept for the hijab in an artistic self expression. These broader concepts of identity, difference, and self development are better understood and connected through a lense of intersectionality, as it is explained in this new context.

Public trials and mentions Estes v. Texas a case in which the U.S

Judicial system

 

Paper details:

In an approximately 500-word post (can be longer if necessary),

please respond to the following prompt: Your text discusses public trials and mentions Estes v. Texas, a case in which the U.S. Supreme Court reversed a defendant’s conviction because the presence of television cameras was a distraction to the parties in the case. Of course, cameras are still allowed in the courtroom at times. In fact, at times we have the opportunity to watch trials on television or even watch them streamed live on the internet.

What are your thoughts on having trials publicized not just to those in the courtroom, but to individuals across the country and maybe even the world? For instance, does this impact the integrity of trials/the criminal justice process? Why or why not? Does this serve as a distraction to those participating in the process because they know the trial is being broadcast (even if there are not as many cameras there that concerned the Court in Estes)?

In the alternative, do you believe all criminal trials should be made available to the public? In other words, should we be able to watch all criminal trials (e.g., online or on TV) even if we are not able to be present in the courtroom to observe the trial? Why/Why not? Have you ever taken the time to watch a criminal trial that was being broadcast on TV or on the internet? Why/Why not? Please be sure NOT to copy and paste information from the internet as your discussion post.

A fundamental issue established at the outset of this course is the fact that becoming involved in terrorist activities is a process, where numerous factors can affect the mindset and actions of an individual. We have covered many of these issues and influences, so concerning this matter, compare and contrast at least two different radicalization models that explain terrorist motivations in a 4 page paper. In this research paper also summarize behavioral and psychological factors associated with disengaging from terrorism and describe what efforts or programs are most effective in countering radicalization and why. Recommended Source: King, M. and Taylor, D. M. (2011). The Radicalization of Homegrown Jihadists: A Review of Theoretical Models and Social Psychological Evidence.
