Invervention Proposal (all assignments mentioned below are attache.docx
Invervention Proposal (all assignments mentioned below are attached)
In Week Three, you created a literature review around the scenario that you selected in Week One (scenario is below). For the Week Six assignment, you will create an intervention proposal that contains a professional recommendation for the chosen case study. The Intervention Proposal should incorporate the Week Three Literature Review and Week One Annotated Bibliography assignments.
In a 10- to 12-page paper (not including the title page or references page) the student will:
Briefly restate the problem from the chosen case study.
Compose a thesis statement that contains the student’s professional recommendation. The thesis statement should be located near the end of the second paragraph of the report.
Explain the relevant theories and empirical studies that have led to the student’s professional recommendation. The explanation must include evaluations of seven to eight, peer-reviewed articles from the Annotated Bibliography that was created in Week Two. At least one of these articles must be about a specific empirical study. In addition, the explanation must:
Evaluate each article (comparing and contrasting them with the other articles) and answer the following questions:
What was the researchers’ research question?
What was their hypothesis?
How many participants did they have?
Was the research design method appropriate for that particular hypothesis? Was it valid?
Did their findings support the hypothesis?
What are the implications?
What are the limitations?
Discuss the opposing sides to the student’s recommendation and explain:
Why it is relevant.
Why it should be considered.
Why it should be discounted for this recommendation.
Discuss any limitations or gaps in existing research.
Restate the professional recommendation in one to two concluding paragraphs.
The paper must include a title page and references page, and it must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Organization tip: It is best to start with the least related and most broad article and move toward the most relevant. It can be helpful to think of the organization for this report as a funnel: The articles evaluated should get more and more specific and narrow in breadth throughout the report.
Language Note: This report is being written for an audience that is not familiar with the theories and material that are discussed. This means that the paper needs to be accessible to all individuals. All technical terms, acronyms, and theories should be explained and jargon should be avoided.

double-spaced, 12-font with 1-inch margins. No cover page is required. Have your name written at the top of the first page, with a title and page numbers
.
Your paper needs to be organized in paragraph form, including an intro and a conclusion. The intro paragraph needs to have a
specific
thesis statement
that gives an overview of your analysis of the material in its entirety (This is best written AFTER doing all the research and writing for the paper).
Any photographs, maps, tables, etc., need to be attached at the end of the paper only, and they
do not
count as part of the length of the paper. If you want to attach a cover page, it will also not count towards the paper length.
The amount of writing on each of your two countries should be roughly equal in length.
Sources, Bibliography:

cited in the body of your paper (see “In-Text Citations” below) AND listed in a bibliography
, otherwise you will receive a score of ZERO for the paper and potentially an F for the entire course!
Copying and pasting over 20% of your paper from another source, without providing citations, is an automatic F.
The 4 parts of the course paper:
Part 1: Lithosphere
- For each country, what is one major geologic feature (can include mountains, desert, plains, coast, etc)?
- Briefly describe these features, how they came to look like how they do today.
- How are humans using these features (tourism, nature reserve, sacred lands, extracting resources, etc)?
- Does human use of these features create concern for the future of these features, or the wildlife found on them? If so, explain how.
- Print pictures of the geologic features, or maps showing where these features are located, and attach them to the back of the paper.
Part 2: Atmosphere
- For each country, describe the year-round climate found in the majority of the country (climate maps will help with this). If there is a wide variety of climate types in one country, just pick one city and describe its climate. Be sure to include information about temperature, precipitation, and seasonal changes in both, such as the extremes of the temperature and precipitation differences.
- Has climate change already impacted these nations (whether the people or the natural environment)? How so?
- What is one major concer.

ECS 111 November 2016
These are suggested homework. You may also choose any of the articles introduced in class as a review topic. As discussed in class, you should not try and answer all of these. Choose one or two and do a complete essay on them. References should not be random blogs, but juried articles or news items from archived media such as NYT or the Economist.
1) Choose a wild animal and discuss its basic habitat and its role in this ecosystem or set of ecosystems. What is its current status relative to conservation concerns? What constitutes its primary food source?
2) Describe one of the major biomes found on earth. Include a discussion of its primary physical and biological attributes.
3) Compare and contrast two of the types of soil profiles discussed during the class. Discuss their distribution and the role they have in maintaining their associated ecosystems.
4) Discuss von Humboldt’s observation that the different biomes seen as one goes from the equator to the poles are also found with altitude in mountain systems. Why does this vary depending on which side of the mountain range is considered? Provide some examples.
5) Consider the following population equations.
Compute the steady states and discuss them. What type of system is this?
6) Discuss the immigration issues currently facing the European Union. How are these being handled by the various member states? Is this a threat to the EU itself? What are the consequences of these demographic shift in the Middle East?
7) Write an essay on the use of fire by human cultures. You might approach this broadly or focus on a particular culture such as the native Americans or the bantu of Africa.
8) What factors are involved in the transition of a forest ecosystem into a grassland? Consider the anthropogenic place in such transitions. What are the evolutionary issues here?
9) Consider a form of energy. Discuss the history of its exploitation and future use.
10) Consider the transport of energy and how technology has influenced particular types of energy sources. How have economics changed the exploitation of this type of energy?
11) Choose a particular disease and discuss its consequences for human health. Describe its role in history and its modern manifestations.
12) Read the section out of Keohane and Olmstead (2016) on competitive markets (pgs 70-78). Choose a commodity such as the one they use, coffee, and discuss the nature of the global market.
13) Using the principles in question 12) discuss the concept of competition in energy markets. How does this change if one is considering transportation costs versus electrical power? (Note: here you might peruse the index for energy topics they introduce. The section of scarcity starting on page 100 is also a useful place to start.)
14) Consider the Keohane and Olmstead (2016) treatment of the economics of habitat management as it pertains to implementation of the Endangered Species Act. See their pages 224- ...

ECS 111 November 2016
These are suggested homework. You may also choose any of the articles introduced in class as a review topic. As discussed in class, you should not try and answer all of these. Choose one or two and do a complete essay on them. References should not be random blogs, but juried articles or news items from archived media such as NYT or the Economist.
1) Choose a wild animal and discuss its basic habitat and its role in this ecosystem or set of ecosystems. What is its current status relative to conservation concerns? What constitutes its primary food source?
2) Describe one of the major biomes found on earth. Include a discussion of its primary physical and biological attributes.
3) Compare and contrast two of the types of soil profiles discussed during the class. Discuss their distribution and the role they have in maintaining their associated ecosystems.
4) Discuss von Humboldt’s observation that the different biomes seen as one goes from the equator to the poles are also found with altitude in mountain systems. Why does this vary depending on which side of the mountain range is considered? Provide some examples.
5) Consider the following population equations.
Compute the steady states and discuss them. What type of system is this?
6) Discuss the immigration issues currently facing the European Union. How are these being handled by the various member states? Is this a threat to the EU itself? What are the consequences of these demographic shift in the Middle East?
7) Write an essay on the use of fire by human cultures. You might approach this broadly or focus on a particular culture such as the native Americans or the bantu of Africa.
8) What factors are involved in the transition of a forest ecosystem into a grassland? Consider the anthropogenic place in such transitions. What are the evolutionary issues here?
9) Consider a form of energy. Discuss the history of its exploitation and future use.
10) Consider the transport of energy and how technology has influenced particular types of energy sources. How have economics changed the exploitation of this type of energy?
11) Choose a particular disease and discuss its consequences for human health. Describe its role in history and its modern manifestations.
12) Read the section out of Keohane and Olmstead (2016) on competitive markets (pgs 70-78). Choose a commodity such as the one they use, coffee, and discuss the nature of the global market.
13) Using the principles in question 12) discuss the concept of competition in energy markets. How does this change if one is considering transportation costs versus electrical power? (Note: here you might peruse the index for energy topics they introduce. The section of scarcity starting on page 100 is also a useful place to start.)
14) Consider the Keohane and Olmstead (2016) treatment of the economics of habitat management as it pertains to implementation of the Endangered Species Act. See their pages 224- ...

The Current Events assignment (due on 34) is designed as a way for .docx
The Current Events assignment (due on 3/4) is designed as a way for students to demonstrate the importance of cultural anthropology in gaining a global perspective on the political, economic, and cultural issues of our contemporary era.
In order to complete this assignment you must choose a current event (local, regional, national, international news) that you would like to explore (you can bring in a newspaper article, blog, notes from a TV news source, etc.). It can be a broad topic, with several key articles focused on a particular perspective. Or it can be an isolated incident, but one which can be related to a broader issue impacting human life today.
You will then write an essay where you will 1) describe and summarize various perspectives on the issue you have chosen (remember, anthropology is a holistic discipline so it is important to consider all sides of a debate) and 2) Explain how it relates to topics explored in class, and 3) offer up your own analysis of the current issue. Do you have any bias for or against a particular perspective? If so, why? An above average Current events assignment must meet the following requirements:
You must write in a manner that is concise, grammatically correct, properly punctuated, and with accurate spelling.
You must turn it in on time.
You should aim for your essay to be between 200 – 400 words.
You must correctly cite all words and ideas that are not your own.
You must use evidence from news articles and the textbook to support any and all claims that you make.
You must demonstrate how the current event chosen relates to topics explored in class.

Course Project (Quantitative Literacy Paper)
This assignment will cover the principals of quantitative literacy, and it will also incorporate the ideas of Responding to Objection and Alternative Views as described in Chapter 6 of Writing Arguments, and Argument as Inquiry as described in Chapter 8 of Writing Arguments.
The assignment satisfies both the Quantitative Literacy and Course Project requirements, established by The Writing Program for WRC 1023. (The Course Project parameters, integrated into this assignment description, can be found on Page 47 of the Writing Program Student Handbook 2018-19.)
The Game Plan
1. Initiate research, to include a UTSA Library-hosted dataset, upon discussion of the assignment on Thursday, November 21, submit the Course Project Prep by Monday, November 25, and participate in the Computer Lab Research/Writing Session on Tuesday, November 26.
2. Participate in a peer editing session, and submit the Course Project Peer Editing Session Summary by Tuesday, December 3
3. Submit the paper (which must be at least 1250 words) as Course Project via Blackboard by Wednesday, December 4 at 11:59 p.m.
The Quantitative Literacy Elements
Before writing the paper, you should collect data to support your claim (Exploring), determine which data will help your argument (Understanding), explaining the significance of the data collected (Analyzing), create an original pie chart, bar graph, or other visual representation that showcases the data (Visualizing), discuss how the data applies to the argument you’re making (Translating), and then utilize that in the argument you’re making (Expressing).
Essentials
1. The paper must have a title page and an abstract as the first two pages of your paper, per APA Style.
2. The paper must have an opening paragraph that includes a thesis making an arguable claim, that will then be supported through research. It can be forwarded as a basic claim or as a proposal.
Claim Example: I argue that electric cars are currently more cost-effective and energy efficient than cars using fossil fuels, and this cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency will improve as electric car technology improves.
Proposal Thesis Example: I argue that the United States should increase funding to develop alternative fuels, because it would address the increasing energy crisis, it would help curb global warming, and it would create jobs and revenue for the American economy.
3. The paper must have a paragraph, with a header, addressing your research (the Exploring and Understanding steps).
4. The paper must have a paragraph, with a header, detailing an opposing or alternative position (with at least one source utilized) to the one you’re arguing.

Assessment and Evaluation of Students With EBD
Introduction
Ambiguity and difficulty in defining emotional/behavioral disorders (EBD) causes the numbers of students with EBD to vary widely. Often this group can be the most under-identified category in a school. As stated in the previous lecture, factors causing students to exhibit emotional and behavioral disorder can be from five different theoretical frameworks, including
biological, psychoanalytical, behavioral, phenomenological,
and
sociological/ecological
(Smith, Polloway, Patton, Dowdy, 2004). The aforementioned factors may lead to numerous disorders that are all classified under the heading of
emotional disturbance
.
The debate ranges over which assessments to use and why. The purpose of assessment is not only to identify the disabilities but also to use that information to create a more individualized program for intervention and remediation. "Assessment of problem behaviors requires that the team collect and interpret functional information from a variety of sources" (Yell, Meadows, Drasgow, & Shriner, 2009, p. 76). These assessments include both formal and informal types, and the mandated team determines eligibility.
Overall, when considering students with ED, there are times when the team must determine if the behaviors are truly manifestations of students' disabilities in order to protect them from some disciplinary measures such as suspension and expulsion. No matter what assessments are used, there needs to be clear-cut guidelines and procedur.

The IOM Future of Nursing report calls for an increase in leadership from nurses at all levels. One way nurses demonstrate their role as a leader, is through public policy change. A leader does not always carry an official title or position, but demonstrates leadership through the work and the stance the leader takes to make a change for the good of others. Nurses have been noted by the Gallop poll year after year as the most trusted professionals.
This assignment requires thought about a public policy that is needed or needs to be changed that relates to nursing, health care, or the public. Policy changes can occur by working with members of your legislature, and state or national nurses associations, to introduce a new bill and/or change to a current law in your state or federal government.

Discuss who would be the champion for the bill/law change from your state advocates (legislators, federal legislators, local or national state nursing organizations). Are these individuals also influential in making changes occur? Did you vote for the individual in office that you want to help you make this change?
Resources:
Review different pieces of legislation for ideas on wording.
Visit your state’s legislative governmental affairs website site to understand the process your policy change could take if you wanted to introduce to into legislation.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
