____/8pts
Paragraph development is flawed: no clear topic sentences. Paragraphs frequently have multiple topics. The writing has a limited or missing introduction and/or conclusion or summary of argument.
Paragraph development is ineffective or inappropriate for the assignment: topic sentences are present but not well connected to the rest of the writing. The introduction paragraph is incomplete or underdeveloped. Conclusion argument does not go beyond a brief repetition of points.
Paragraph development is appropriate for the topic and assignment: topic sentences introduce or summarize the content of the paragraph. The introduction paragraph is appropriate and complete for the topic and assignment. Concluding argument appropriately synthesizes key points.
Paragraphs are well developed and appropriate: there are strong topic sentences, clear ideas that naturally lead reader through the writing. The written piece is structured in a logical fashion that supports the presentation of complex content, including in the introduction and conclusion.

ASSIGNMENT 2: INFORMATIVE ESSAY
Draft due Week 5 and worth 50 points
Revision due Week 7 and worth 150 points
Have you ever needed just the facts?
At times a formal, objectively written approach is more appropriate or even critical for establishing credibility so that your
audience will listen and get informed! The key to informative writing is making the shift from personal opinion to objec-
tive facts. This assignment will provide you with the important opportunity to practice making this shift to a style that is
required in so many workplaces and throughout your academic program.
For this assignment, you will write an informative essay on the topic you have previously chosen. You will need to identify
a problem, need, or process related to your topic. Then you will inform your audience and provide supporting evidence
from a minimum of two credible sources that have been provided in the webtext. Keep in mind, you will continue to use
the standard essay format: Introduction paragraph with a thesis statement, body paragraphs that specifically support the
points in your thesis statement, and a conclusion paragraph.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Compose a three-four (3-4) page paper in which you do the following:
1. Use third person point of view (POV) and the appropriate voice and tone throughout your paper.
a. Did you use third person pronouns? (he, she, they, their)
b. Do you sound impartial, informative/explanatory, and professional? How do you want your reader to feel?
(trust, smarter/informed)
c. Is the tone formal and factual?
2. Write an introduction paragraph, which includes your thesis statement. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7
sentences.
a. Does my introduction get the reader’s attention by using an intriguing statistic, quote, question, or scenario?
b. Does my introduction explain the context and state the importance of the problem/issue?
c. Does your thesis statement include three supporting reasons that can be debated from a different perspec-
tive?
d. Is your thesis statement clear and concise?
3. Write a supporting/body paragraph for each of the three (3) points/reasons from your thesis statement. It is suggest-
ed that each paragraph contain at least 5-7 sentences.
a. Do your body paragraphs support each point of your thesis with relevant examples or statistics?
b. Do you address the opinions or concerns that your audience might have?
c. Did you paraphrase, quote, or summarize properly to avoid plagiarism? Did you comment on each quotation?
4. Write with logic and with transitions throughout your paper.
a. Are your ideas consistent and well-organized, i.e., chronological order or order of importance?
b. Do your ideas flow from one sentence to the next and one paragraph to the next, in the order presented in your
thesis statement?
5. Write a conclusion paragraph. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7 sentences.
a. Did you paraphrase or restate the thesis in a new way?
b. Did you.

Does not have title, and has missing or indiscernible thesis statement and minimal evidence to support main ideas. The writer gives the problem no presence. Argument includes elements of a proposal, but the argument does not center on the proposal. The writer does not use strategies that support proposal arguments.
Title may not suggest subject and does not spark interest. Thesis statement and/or the controlling idea are not clearly stated. The writer gives the problem little presence. Argument includes elements of proposals, but the argument does not center on a proposal and/or the writer does not use strategies that support proposal arguments very well. Ideas are underdeveloped and clichéd. They do not support the thesis. Evidence from outside sources can be irrelevant.
Title suggests subject but does not spark interest. Thesis statement identifies the main point the author is trying to make. The writer gives the problem some presence, though the problem could be explained more forcefully. Most of content relates to thesis statement, but lacks sufficient support through appropriate strategies for making proposal arguments (categorical, ethical, and/or cause and effect claims). Argument may not center specifically on a proposal. Cited evidence sometimes does not justify ideas.

ASSIGNMENT 2: INFORMATIVE ESSAY
Draft due Week 5 and worth 50 points
Revision due Week 7 and worth 150 points
Have you ever needed just the facts?
At times a formal, objectively written approach is more appropriate or even critical for establishing credibility so that your
audience will listen and get informed! The key to informative writing is making the shift from personal opinion to objec-
tive facts. This assignment will provide you with the important opportunity to practice making this shift to a style that is
required in so many workplaces and throughout your academic program.
For this assignment, you will write an informative essay on the topic you have previously chosen. You will need to identify
a problem, need, or process related to your topic. Then you will inform your audience and provide supporting evidence
from a minimum of two credible sources that have been provided in the webtext. Keep in mind, you will continue to use
the standard essay format: Introduction paragraph with a thesis statement, body paragraphs that specifically support the
points in your thesis statement, and a conclusion paragraph.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Compose a three-four (3-4) page paper in which you do the following:
1. Use third person point of view (POV) and the appropriate voice and tone throughout your paper.
a. Did you use third person pronouns? (he, she, they, their)
b. Do you sound impartial, informative/explanatory, and professional? How do you want your reader to feel?
(trust, smarter/informed)
c. Is the tone formal and factual?
2. Write an introduction paragraph, which includes your thesis statement. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7
sentences.
a. Does my introduction get the reader’s attention by using an intriguing statistic, quote, question, or scenario?
b. Does my introduction explain the context and state the importance of the problem/issue?
c. Does your thesis statement include three supporting reasons that can be debated from a different perspec-
tive?
d. Is your thesis statement clear and concise?
3. Write a supporting/body paragraph for each of the three (3) points/reasons from your thesis statement. It is suggest-
ed that each paragraph contain at least 5-7 sentences.
a. Do your body paragraphs support each point of your thesis with relevant examples or statistics?
b. Do you address the opinions or concerns that your audience might have?
c. Did you paraphrase, quote, or summarize properly to avoid plagiarism? Did you comment on each quotation?
4. Write with logic and with transitions throughout your paper.
a. Are your ideas consistent and well-organized, i.e., chronological order or order of importance?
b. Do your ideas flow from one sentence to the next and one paragraph to the next, in the order presented in your
thesis statement?
5. Write a conclusion paragraph. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7 sentences.
a. Did you paraphrase or restate the thesis in a new way?
b. Did you.

Argument includes elements of a proposal, but the argument does not center on the proposal. The writer does not use strategies that support proposal arguments.
Title may not suggest subject and does not spark interest. Thesis statement and/or the controlling idea are not clearly stated. The writer gives the problem little presence.

Choose one of the three major religions discussed in this course.
Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper that addresses the following questions:
· In what ways do the common characteristics of the three religions, including their ethics, contribute to their challenges in the modern world?
· How is this religion responding to challenges in the modern world?
· What has changed about the roles of women in the religion over time?
The writer does not demonstrate cursory understanding of subject matter, and the purpose of the paper is not stated. The objective, therefore, is not addressed and supporting materials are not correctly referenced.
0 to 5 points
The writer demonstrates limited understanding of the subject matter in that theories are not well connected to a practical experience or appropriate examples, though the attempt to research the topic is evident, and materials are correctly referenced.
5.1 to 7.6 points

( 3 Points)
Paragraphs do not focus around a central point, and concepts are disjointedly introduced or poorly defended (i.e., stream of consciousness). The writer struggles with limited vocabulary and has difficulty conveying meaning such that only the broadest, most general messages are presented. There is no introduction or conclusion.
0 to .8 points
Topics/content could be organized in a more logical manner. Transitions from one idea to the next are often disconnected and uneven. The introduction does not give clear direction and the conclusion does not communicate what was learned.
Some words, transitional phrases, and conjunctions are overused. Ideas may be overstated, and sentences with limited contribution to the subject are included.
.9 to 1.7 points
The writer focuses on ideas and concepts within paragraphs, and sentences are well-connected and meaningful. Each topic logically follows the objective. The introduction clearly states the objective or ideas leading to the purpose of the paper, and a conclusion draws the ideas together.

a. Paragraphs and transitions: providing one main point per paragraph instead of mixing ideas, using strong topic sentences and smooth transitions.
(The information to use)
Paragraphs for the most parts have been good but I've struggled with transitioning to a new paragraph. Otherwise, I don't really mix ideas when I have a certain topic in mind for a paragraph.
b. Sentences: using sentence-combining skills and different types of sentences for effect.
(The information to use)
This has been somewhat rocky for me just because of the word requirements. I've been trying my best at it but I have let a few sentences slide just so I've been able to reach the word requirements.
c. Word choice: carefully choosing the best words, using appropriate diction.
(The information to use)
I feel like my wording has been good most of the course except for the second essay (proposal essay). I'm not really sure why I struggled so much with the essay. For the most part my word choice has been decent.

Eng 101
e3 The “Summary + Response” ESSAY: Writing based on reading about language, culture & identity
The summary+response essay requires you to use and engage with other written materials - that is, ideas and quotations from other writers - in an essay.
Articles: Tan, "Mother Tongue" (127-132)
In your essay, you will (A) present the writer's ideas accurately and fairly, using your skills in summarizing, paraphrasing, and using quotations. And you will (B) present a thoughtful response, in which you take a stand on the major issue of the original.
You don't need additional information from the internet and you don't need to look for any more sources. If you do want to use another source, you need to clear it with your instructor.
Preliminary Steps
1. Read, re-read, annotate the article you chose.
2. Complete the "Responding to Writing" worksheet to help clarify and organize your thoughts on the issues.
3. Be able to summarize and paraphrase the material accurately.
A Possible Outline for Your Essay
Your essay might be organized something like this, in which each of the first-level bullets would be one or more ¶s:
• Open: Introduce the issues in a general way, possibly without mentioning the article/author yet.
• Introduce & briefly summarize the main article:
· Summarize the main, relevant ideas of the article and include important details. (Include the author's full name and title of the article.)
· Note that you will also refer to and summarize and quote from the article in the response section of the essay, so you don't need to provide a complete, detailed summary here.
• Respond:
· You will probably use some of the ideas you generated in the "Responding to Writing" worksheet.
· Discuss and offer some analysis of the issues raised in the article, and possibly comment on how the author has presented them, how convincing her/his evidence is, and so on.
· Present your own perspectives, thoughts, and perhaps feelings on the issues. You might describe your own life experiences or experiences of friends, as they relate to the issues in question.
· In this response section you need to be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them (with logic, with illustrative examples, maybe with more quotes from the article).
· If you wish, you can bring in a couple of ideas/quotes from one or two of the additional articles to supplement or support your points.
· This section should be presented in logically organized, focused paragraphs.
• Close: Wrap up the essay in a meaningful and satisfying way.
Think it through!
Don't just grab onto the first thought that comes to you, an initial and superficial reaction. Consider your thoughts and feelings, think hard about the topic and what you have read about it, and form a coherent and thoughtful response.
In a thoughtful response, you don't need to solve or resolve the problem or the issue. You don't have to try to have the "last word" on the topic. Saying that it's troubling (or not) or an im ...

· Assessment of essays
All essays returned to you will have a marking matrix attached with comments. These are meant to be constructive and are made to point out errors and areas where improvements could be made. The comments will explain why you got the mark you did. They are, therefore, usually ‘critical’. You should consider these comments carefully, and try to understand why they were made. If you do not see the point, or want further comment, please take this matter up with whoever marked your essay, preferably via the course coordinator A/Prof Lara Lamb.
The following points will be noted particularly in marking essays:
1. Relevance to the topic set.
2. Organisation and effectiveness of argument, and proper use of anthropological concepts and principles as outlined during the course of your reading.
3. Evidence of reading outside the set texts and accuracy of facts presented in the essay.
4. Originality – careful and critical thought about the topic, and use of illustrative material from independent reading and also, to some extent, from observation and experience.
5. Accuracy and clarity of written English, including grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Overall legibility and general setting out will be noted, especially of essay structure and referencing.
How to write an essay/presentation
Do not go over the word limit. This is set specifically to help you develop a sharp and concise style. Going under the word limit is preferable to ‘padding out’ your answer with vagaries or ‘waffle’ to reach the word limit.
Do not use value judgements of subjective terminology such as: primitive, backward, surprisingly advanced, superior or developed. You must be objective and indicate clearly what you mean by your terms.
Writing an essay is a gradual process; the final version of an essay should have been developed over several drafts, prepared as you explore the topic and compile notes from reading material.
You will usually need to do some reading before you can grasp the significance of the set topic. Begin with the suggested references in your book of reading and, as you read, keep a copy of the actual wording of the topic/question in view. Initial reading will enable you to:
1. Recognise the implications underlying the actual wording of the topic.
2. Understand key ideas and terms.
3. Identify all parts of the set question.
After some preliminary reading, when you feel you are beginning to grasp the topic, draft an outline plan for your essay. This will involve drawing up headings for each major section of your essay, writing a statement, in .

Higher Education for the Twenty-First Century: Re-designing Student Success
For essay #3, perform a significant revision to last unit's essay. Revise your work by doing the following:
• Include at least two additional outside perspectives on the future of higher education. (You will discover these outside perspectives by conducting
library research, and you will include them via quotation, paraphrase, and/or summary, which we will practice in this unit's discussion.)
• Argue for specific recommendations about how higher education could be re-designed for the students of the twenty-first century.
As you revise last unit's essays to meet these new goals, you may also expand, edit, restructure, and delete from your second essay, in order to make a
clear, effective argument about how to adjust college education for today's students. This unit's essay should not merely be last unit's with a few new
paragraphs tacked on, but should be a re-envisioned essay.
You might begin by designing a working thesis about how higher education needs to change. Then, begin researching what other writers have said
already about your ideas. Start with an search on your subject using the Park University McAfee Memorial Library’s Pirate Search feature
(http://www.park.edu/library/) , but also consider consulting Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com) . We will spend time this unit discussing and
analyzing sources together.
Think about what you would like to teach your readers about how higher education should change. Consider making precise, practical
recommendations. Be sure to provide explicit reasoning, and describe the implications of your ideas for today's college students of history. Make sure
that every paragraph of Essay #3 points your readers toward your particular focus and argument.
Some of you may find it possible to use some material from essay #2, and others will simply use essay #2 as a launching off point. Either way, I will be
looking for a revised thesis, enhanced supporting arguments, incorporation of new research, etc. Remember the difference between revision and
editing; this is a revision project, not an exercise in editing essay #2. In short, although you will use essay #2 as a basis, essay #3 should be a significant
re-envisioning, with a revised thesis and development. Essay #3 should have a new title to reflect this revised content.
Please craft a short description (this can be in bulleted list form if you would like) of the changes and transformations you made in revising essay #2 to
create essay #3. Submit this description as either a second file or as a new page (after Works Cited) at the end of your essay #3 file. Failure to submit
this required information will result in a letter grade deduction from essay #3.

Choose one of the three major religions discussed in this course.
Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper that addresses the following questions:
· In what ways do the common characteristics of the three religions, including their ethics, contribute to their challenges in the modern world?
· How is this religion responding to challenges in the modern world?
· What has changed about the roles of women in the religion over time?
The writer does not demonstrate cursory understanding of subject matter, and the purpose of the paper is not stated. The objective, therefore, is not addressed and supporting materials are not correctly referenced.
0 to 5 points
The writer demonstrates limited understanding of the subject matter in that theories are not well connected to a practical experience or appropriate examples, though the attempt to research the topic is evident, and materials are correctly referenced.
5.1 to 7.6 points
The writer demonstrates an understanding of the subject matter by clearly stating the objective of the paper and links theories to practical experience. The paper includes relevant material that is correctly referenced, and this material fulfills the objective of the paper.

ORGANIZATION
( 3 Points)
Paragraphs do not focus around a central point, and concepts are disjointedly introduced or poorly defended (i.e., stream of consciousness). The writer struggles with limited vocabulary and has difficulty conveying meaning such that only the broadest, most general messages are presented. There is no introduction or conclusion.
0 to .8 points
Topics/content could be organized in a more logical manner. Transitions from one idea to the next are often disconnected and uneven. The introduction does not give clear direction and the conclusion does not communicate what was learned.
Some words, transitional phrases, and conjunctions are overused. Ideas may be overstated, and sentences with limited contribution to the subject are included.
.9 to 1.7 points
The writer focuses on ideas and concepts within paragraphs, and sentences are well-connected and meaningful. Each topic logically follows the objective. The introduction clearly states the objective or ideas leading to the purpose of the paper, and a conclusion draws the ideas together.
The reading audience is correctly identified, demonstrated by appropriate language usage (i.e., avoiding jargon and simplifying complex concepts appropriately). Writing is concise, in active voice, and avoids awkward transitions and overuse of conjunctions.

This has been somewhat rocky for me just because of the word requirements. I've been trying my best at it but I have let a few sentences slide just so I've been able to reach the word requirements.
c. Word choice: carefully choosing the best words, using appropriate diction.
(The information to use)
I feel like my wording has been good most of the course except for the second essay (proposal essay). I'm not really sure why I struggled so much with the essay. For the most part my word choice has been decent.

Eng 101
e3 The “Summary + Response” ESSAY: Writing based on reading about language, culture & identity
The summary+response essay requires you to use and engage with other written materials - that is, ideas and quotations from other writers - in an essay.
Articles: Tan, "Mother Tongue" (127-132)
In your essay, you will (A) present the writer's ideas accurately and fairly, using your skills in summarizing, paraphrasing, and using quotations. And you will (B) present a thoughtful response, in which you take a stand on the major issue of the original.
You don't need additional information from the internet and you don't need to look for any more sources. If you do want to use another source, you need to clear it with your instructor.
Preliminary Steps
1. Read, re-read, annotate the article you chose.
2. Complete the "Responding to Writing" worksheet to help clarify and organize your thoughts on the issues.
3. Be able to summarize and paraphrase the material accurately.
A Possible Outline for Your Essay
Your essay might be organized something like this, in which each of the first-level bullets would be one or more ¶s:
• Open: Introduce the issues in a general way, possibly without mentioning the article/author yet.
• Introduce & briefly summarize the main article:
· Summarize the main, relevant ideas of the article and include important details. (Include the author's full name and title of the article.)
· Note that you will also refer to and summarize and quote from the article in the response section of the essay, so you don't need to provide a complete, detailed summary here.
• Respond:
· You will probably use some of the ideas you generated in the "Responding to Writing" worksheet.
· Discuss and offer some analysis of the issues raised in the article, and possibly comment on how the author has presented them, how convincing her/his evidence is, and so on.
· Present your own perspectives, thoughts, and perhaps feelings on the issues. You might describe your own life experiences or experiences of friends, as they relate to the issues in question.
· In this response section you need to be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them (with logic, with illustrative examples, maybe with more quotes from the article).
· If you wish, you can bring in a couple of ideas/quotes from one or two of the additional articles to supplement or support your points.
· This section should be presented in logically organized, focused paragraphs.
• Close: Wrap up the essay in a meaningful and satisfying way.
Think it through!
Don't just grab onto the first thought that comes to you, an initial and superficial reaction. Consider your thoughts and feelings, think hard about the topic and what you have read about it, and form a coherent and thoughtful response.
In a thoughtful response, you don't need to solve or resolve the problem or the issue. You don't have to try to have the "last word" on the topic. Saying that it's troubling (or not) or an im ...

Argument centers specifically on cause/effect and effectively uses strategies that support cause and effect arguments (cause and effect chains and inductive reasoning). Specific, cited evidence justifies ideas and enriches the essay.

· Assessment of essays
All essays returned to you will have a marking matrix attached with comments. These are meant to be constructive and are made to point out errors and areas where improvements could be made. The comments will explain why you got the mark you did. They are, therefore, usually ‘critical’. You should consider these comments carefully, and try to understand why they were made. If you do not see the point, or want further comment, please take this matter up with whoever marked your essay, preferably via the course coordinator A/Prof Lara Lamb.
The following points will be noted particularly in marking essays:
1. Relevance to the topic set.
2. Organisation and effectiveness of argument, and proper use of anthropological concepts and principles as outlined during the course of your reading.
3. Evidence of reading outside the set texts and accuracy of facts presented in the essay.
4. Originality – careful and critical thought about the topic, and use of illustrative material from independent reading and also, to some extent, from observation and experience.
5. Accuracy and clarity of written English, including grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Overall legibility and general setting out will be noted, especially of essay structure and referencing.
How to write an essay/presentation
Do not go over the word limit. This is set specifically to help you develop a sharp and concise style. Going under the word limit is preferable to ‘padding out’ your answer with vagaries or ‘waffle’ to reach the word limit.
Do not use value judgements of subjective terminology such as: primitive, backward, surprisingly advanced, superior or developed. You must be objective and indicate clearly what you mean by your terms.
Writing an essay is a gradual process; the final version of an essay should have been developed over several drafts, prepared as you explore the topic and compile notes from reading material.
You will usually need to do some reading before you can grasp the significance of the set topic. Begin with the suggested references in your book of reading and, as you read, keep a copy of the actual wording of the topic/question in view. Initial reading will enable you to:
1. Recognise the implications underlying the actual wording of the topic.
2. Understand key ideas and terms.
3. Identify all parts of the set question.
After some preliminary reading, when you feel you are beginning to grasp the topic, draft an outline plan for your essay. This will involve drawing up headings for each major section of your essay, writing a statement, in .

Higher Education for the Twenty-First Century: Re-designing Student Success
For essay #3, perform a significant revision to last unit's essay. Revise your work by doing the following:
• Include at least two additional outside perspectives on the future of higher education. (You will discover these outside perspectives by conducting
library research, and you will include them via quotation, paraphrase, and/or summary, which we will practice in this unit's discussion.)
• Argue for specific recommendations about how higher education could be re-designed for the students of the twenty-first century.
As you revise last unit's essays to meet these new goals, you may also expand, edit, restructure, and delete from your second essay, in order to make a
clear, effective argument about how to adjust college education for today's students. This unit's essay should not merely be last unit's with a few new
paragraphs tacked on, but should be a re-envisioned essay.
You might begin by designing a working thesis about how higher education needs to change. Then, begin researching what other writers have said
already about your ideas. Start with an search on your subject using the Park University McAfee Memorial Library’s Pirate Search feature
(http://www.park.edu/library/) , but also consider consulting Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com) . We will spend time this unit discussing and
analyzing sources together.
Think about what you would like to teach your readers about how higher education should change. Consider making precise, practical
recommendations. Be sure to provide explicit reasoning, and describe the implications of your ideas for today's college students of history. Make sure
that every paragraph of Essay #3 points your readers toward your particular focus and argument.
Some of you may find it possible to use some material from essay #2, and others will simply use essay #2 as a launching off point. Either way, I will be
looking for a revised thesis, enhanced supporting arguments, incorporation of new research, etc. Remember the difference between revision and
editing; this is a revision project, not an exercise in editing essay #2. In short, although you will use essay #2 as a basis, essay #3 should be a significant
re-envisioning, with a revised thesis and development. Essay #3 should have a new title to reflect this revised content.
Please craft a short description (this can be in bulleted list form if you would like) of the changes and transformations you made in revising essay #2 to
create essay #3. Submit this description as either a second file or as a new page (after Works Cited) at the end of your essay #3 file. Failure to submit
this required information will result in a letter grade deduction from essay #3.

Did you know ....
Did you know soil fertility or the ability for a soil to provide nutrients is seated in the type of minerals it
contains? Chapter 8 will cover the various types of soil colloids including all the layer and non-layer
silicates, cation exchange, anion exchange, and sorption.
Lecture content notes are accompanied by videos listed below the notes in each submodule (e.g. Soil
Colloids (Chapter 8) Videos A though H). Print or download lecture notes then view videos in
succession alongside lecture content and add additional notes from each video. The start of each

20 Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical AttentionV-c.docx
20 Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention
V-codes and z-codes
V-codes and Z-codes are conditions that may be the focus of clinical attention but are not considered mental disorders. They correspond to International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification ICD-9-CM (V-codes) and International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification ICD-10-CM (Z-codes that become effective in 2015. In most instances, third-party payers do not cover charges for delivering services to an individual if the diagnosis is solely a V- or Z-code alone. If the V- or Z-code is not the primary diagnosis then it should be documented following the primary diagnosis. In addition, when writing the psychosocial assessment any psychosocial and cultural factors that might impact the client's diagnosis should be documented. The psychosocial stressors reflected in these diagnoses are widespread across all classes and cultures and have been shown to impact all aspects of an individual's life from the physical and psychological to the financial. Furthermore, these conditions have been shown to significantly impact the diagnosis and outcome for a multitude of mental and medical disorders. V- and Z-codes are grouped into numerous categories including: relational problems, problems related to abuse/neglect, educational and occupational problems, housing and economic problems, problems related to the social environment, problems related to the legal system, other counseling services, other psychosocial, personal and environmental problems, and problems of personal history (APA, 2013).
Broadly speaking, the category “Relational Problems” describes interactional problems between family members (e.g., parent/caregiver-child) or partners that result in significant impairment of family functioning or development of symptoms in the distressed individual, spouses, siblings, or other family members. Relational problems are broken down into two categories, Problems Related to Family Upbringing and Other Problems Related to Primary Support Group. For example, in the first category a Parent-Child Relational Problem involves interactional problems between one or both parents and a child that lead to dysfunction in behavioral (e.g., inadequate protection, overprotection), cognitive (e.g., antagonism toward or blaming of the other) or affective (e.g., feeling sad and angry) realms. Here, the critical factor is the quality of the parent-child relationship or when the dysfunction in this relationship is impacting the course and outcome of a psychological or medical condition.

Case 53
Problems in Pasta Land
by
Andres Sousa-Poza
Old Dominion University
The Food Factory has been operating in an underdeveloped country for approximately 10
years.1 Its parent corporation specializes in wheat milling, and it started the pasta factory as a
“side-line” operation to process lower quality wheat flour, which is a by-product of the
normal milling process. This low-gluten flour is generally not suitable for the production of
bread or for direct sale to consumers.
In 2009, the pasta division is confronted with a major problem. It is too successful!
The factory was designed around the mill. Production capacities matched the amount of
effluent from the mill rather than coming from a sound marketing strategy. As shown in
Table 53-1, by 2006, the pasta plant was no longer able to effectively serve existing
customers. The plant that was designed to produce 600 tons of pasta per month on two
production lines is now facing average monthly orders of approximately 800 tons.
Furthermore, the corporate director of marketing estimates that orders could easily be
increased to 1400 to 1800 tons per month.
1 All monies used in this case are in the local currency, which is one of the more than 40 countries in
the world that use the $ symbol and most of which are called dollars.

Another challenge facing the factory is that the initial equipment was refurbished, not
new, and it is now antiquated and seriously dilapidated. Unless the plant is shut down,
equipment replacement is going to be required. The existing equipment was already a
technological generation behind when it was bought. During the last 10 years a new
generation of equipment has been developed based on high-temperature drying. The new
technology is much more suited for use with low-quality (low-gluten) flour and semolina.
New machinery is significantly more efficient. It requires fewer workers, has lower relative
energy consumption, and produces less waste. The pasta plant still maintains a price lead
through the low cost at which it is able to obtain raw materials from the corporate wheat mill,
but this barely compensates for the plant’s low efficiency.
The new technology is also enabling competitors to use low-quality, low-cost raw
materials and still produce a reasonably high-quality end product. Ultimately, this means that
the cost of higher quality pasta has dropped significantly in price, and the quality of the low-
cost pasta is increasing significantly. The pasta factory’s market is customers wit.

Predictive Analysis at Insta-Buy:
The predictive analytics is termed as what is likely to happen in the future. The predictive analytics is based on statistical and data mining technique. The aim of this technique is to predict the future of the project such as what would be the customer reaction on project, financial need, etc. In developing predictive analytical application, a number of techniques are used such as classification algorithms. The classification techniques are logistic regression, decision tree models and neural network. Clustering algorithms are used to segment customers in different groups which helps to target specific promotions to them. To estimate the relationship between different purchasing behavior, association mining technique is used (Mehra, 2014). As an example, for any product on Amazon.com results in the retailer also suggesting similar products that a customer might be interested in. Predictive analytics can be used in E-commerce to solve the following problems
1. Improve customer engagement and increase revenue
1. Launch promotions that target specific customer group
1. Optimizing prices to generate maximum profits
1. Keep proper inventory and reduce over stalking

22-6 | Reporting the Plight of Depression Families
MARTHA GELLHORN, Field Report to Harry Hopkins (1934)
1. From Martha Gellhorn to Harry Hopkins, Report, Gaston County, North Carolina, November 11, 1934, Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Harry Hopkins Papers, Box 66. Online transcript available at http://newdeal.feri.org/hopkins/hop08.htm.
Journalist and novelist Martha Gellhorn’s heartrending field report describing impoverished Gastonia, North Carolina, families vividly captures the desperate hope of depression-era families. Hired by Harry Hopkins, Franklin Roosevelt’s point man for federal relief efforts, Gellhorn detailed the enormous challenge facing the administration. Compounding the epic humanitarian crisis she encountered was the political opposition, which she singled out as one among many obstacles hampering relief efforts.
All during this trip [to North Carolina] I have been thinking to myself about that curious phrase “red menace,” and wondering where said menace hid itself. Every house I visited — mill worker or unemployed — had a picture of the President. These ranged from newspaper clippings (in destitute homes) to large colored prints, framed in gilt cardboard. The portrait holds the place of honour over the mantel. . . . He is at once God and their intimate friend; he knows them all by name, knows their little town and mill, their little lives and problems. And, though everything else fails, he is there, and will not let them down.
I have been seeing people who, according to almost any standard, have practically nothing in life and practically nothing to look forward to or hope for. But there is hope; confidence, something intangible and real: “the president isn’t going to forget us.”
Let me cite cases: I went to see a woman with five children who was living on relief ($3.40 a week). Her picture of the President was a small one, and she told me her oldest daughter had been married some months ago and had cried for the big, coloured picture as a wedding present. The children have no shoes and that woman is terrified of the coming cold as if it were a definite physical entity. There is practically no furniture left in the home, and you can imagine what and how they eat. But she said, suddenly brightening, “I’d give my heart to see the President. I know he means to do everything he can for us; but they make it hard for him; they won’t let him.” I note this case as something special; because here the faith was coupled with a feeling (entirely sympathetic) that the President was not entirely omnipotent.
I have been seeing mill workers; and in every mill when possible, the local Union president. There has been widespread discrimination in the south; and many mills haven’t re-opened since the strike. Those open often run on such curtailment that workers are getting from 2 to 3 days work a week. The price of food has risen (especially the kind of food they eat: fat-back bacon, flour, meal, sorghum) as high as 100%. It is getting cold;.

Controlled Burn
The Gendering of Stress and Burnout in
Modern Policing
Don L. Kurtz
Kansas State University
Despite the interest in the interplay between subcultural attitudes, organizational
structure, and high stress events, most research on police stress fails to address a
fundamental concern—that of gender. In fact, the majority of research addressing officer
stress fails to mention gender or concentrates on gender as a simple control variable. Data
from the Police Stress and Domestic Violence in Police Families in Baltimore, Maryland,
1997-1999 study were analyzed to examine how gender affects stress and burnout in law
enforcement. Findings indicate that stress and burnout by officers is embedded in the
gender structure and process of policing and not simply a response to high stress events.
Keywords: policing; stress; burnout; masculinity; gender and policing; social construc-
tion of gender; gendered organization theory
Asignificant body of research contends that policing is one of the most stressfulprofessions in American society (Anderson, Litzenberger, & Plecas, 2002;
Harpold & Feenster, 2002; Howard, Howard Donofrio, & Boles, 2004; Liberman
et al., 2002; Lott, 1995). Officer stress is associated with a number of negative
behaviors and psychological outcomes, including high rates of substance abuse,
divorce, suicide, and violence (Harpold & Feenster, 2002; Lott, 1995; Violanti,
1996). Attempts to deal with officer stress and burnout generally focus on psycho-
logical, physical, or psychiatric responses to critical incidents or high stress work
environments (Anderson et al., 2002; Brooks & Piquero, 1998; Liberman et al.,
2002; Loo, 2004; Mashburn, 1993; Purpura, 2001). Some scholars identify a sub-
culture of policing through which selected behaviors and attitudes influence officers’
reactions to organizational and job related stress (Harpold & Feenster, 2002; Purpura,
2001). Despite interest in the interplay among subcultural attitudes, organizational

Abstract - The Vietnamese government have plan to develop the
wind farms with the expected capacity of 6 GW by 2030. With the
high penetration of wind power into power system, wind power
forecasting is essentially needed for a power generation
balancing in power system operation and electricity market.
However, such a tool is currently not available in Vietnamese
wind farms as well as electricity market. Therefore, a short-term
wind power forecasting tool for 24 hours has been created to fill
in this gap, using artificial neural network technique. The neural
network has been trained with past data recorded from 2015 to
2017 at Tuy Phong wind farm in Binh Thuan province of Viet
Nam. It has been tested for wind power prediction with the input
data from hourly weather forecast for the same wind farm. The
tool can be used for short-term wind power forecasting in
Vietnamese power system in a foreseeable future.
Keywords: power system; wind farm; wind power forecasting;
neural network; electricity market.
I. NECESITY OF WIND POWER FORECASTING
Today, the integration of wind power into the existing
grid is a big issue in power system operation. For the system
operators, power generation curve of wind turbines is a
necessary information in the power sources balancing. From
the dispatchers’ point of view, wind power forecast errors
will impact the system net imbalances when the share of
wind power increases, and more accurate forecasts mean less
regulating capacity will be activated from the real time
electricity market [1]. In the deregulated market, day-ahead
electricity spot prices are also affected by day-ahead wind
power forecasting [2]. Wind power forecasting is also
essential in reducing the power curtailment, supporting the
ancillary service. However, due to uncertainty of wind speed
and weather factors, the wind power is not easy to predict.
In recent years, many wind power forecasting methods
have been proposed. In [3], a review of different approaches
for short-term wind power forecasting has been introduced,
including statistical and physical methods with different
models such as WPMS, WPPT, Prediktor, Zephyr, WPFS,
ANEMOS, ARMINES, Ewind, Sipreolico. In [4], [5], the
methods, models of wind power forecasting and its impact on

Abstract — Personal Data Protection has been among the most
discussed topics lately and a reason for great concern among
organizations. The EU General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR) is the most important change in data privacy regulation
in 20 years. The regulation will fundamentally reshape the way in
which data is handled across every sector. The organizations had
two years to implement it. As referred by many authors, the
implementation of the regulation has not been an easy task for
companies. The question we aim to answer in this study is how far
the implementation of ISO 27001 standards might represent a
facilitating factor to organizations for an easier compliance with
the regulation. In order to answer this question, several websites
(mostly of consulting companies) were analyzed, and the aspects
considered as facilitating are listed in this paper.
Keywords - regulation (EU) 2016/679; general data protection
regulation; ISO/IEC 27001.
I. INTRODUCTION
In recent years, data protection has become a forefront issue
in cyber security. The issues introduced by recurring
organizational data breaches, social media and the Internet of
Things (IoT) have raised the stakes even further [1, 2]. The EU
GDPR, enforced from May 25 2018, is an attempt to address
such data protection. The GDPR makes for stronger, unified data
protection throughout the EU.
The EU GDPR states that organizations must adopt
appropriate policies, procedures and processes to protect the
personal data they hold.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 27000 series
is a set of information security standards that provide best-
practice recommendations for information security management
[3].
This international standard for information security, ISO
27001, provides an excellent starting point for achieving the
technical and operational requirements necessary to reduce the
risk of a breach.
Not all data is protected by the GDPR, since it is only
applicable to personal data. This is defined in Article 4 as
follows [4]:
“personal data” means any information relating to an
identified or identifiable natural person (’data subject’); an
identifiable.

Introduction: The foreclosure process can differ for deeds
versus mortgages. You will conduct research to determine
these differences since it is not only covered in the real estate
exam, but it is important to know this process in professional
practice.
Scenario: Henri and Lila own a restaurant which the
government has caused to close due to widening the road in
front of their establishment. Since this is the main source of
their income, and has caused Lila and Henri to stop payments
on their mortgage, address the following questions.
Checklist:
Explain the action that Henri and Lila should expect from the
bank regarding their property.
Describe how the banks actions would differ if it was a deed of
trust rather than a mortgage.

"The theory of economics does not furnish a body of settled conclusions immediately applicable to policy. It is a method rather than a doctrine, an apparatus of the mind, a technique of thinking which helps its possessor to draw correct conclusions." (John Maynard Keynes)

Week 2 Discussion: Hamilton Depression Rating Scale
COLLAPSE
Top of Form
Depression or Major Depressive Disorder is considered as a mental health disorder that negatively impacts how an individual feel, think and behave. Individuals who suffer from depression exhibit feelings of sadness and loss in interest in once enjoyed activities (Parekh. 2017). It can cause different kinds of emotional and physical problems and can minimize an individual’s ability to be functional in their daily routines. Annually, approximately 6.7% of adults are impacted by depression. It is estimated that 16.6% of individuals will experience depression at some time in their life (Parekh. 2017). Depression is said to manifest at any time, but on average, the first manifestation occurs during the late teens to mid-20s. The female population is susceptible to experience depression than the male population. Some research indicated that one-third of the female population would experience a major depressive episode in their lifetime (Parekh. 2017).
Among all the mental disorders, depression is one of the most treatable. It is estimated that between 80-90 % of individuals suffering from depression respond well to treatment and experienced remission of their symptoms (Parekh. 2017). As a mental health professional, prior to deciphering diagnosis and initiating diagnosis, it is paramount to conduct a complete diagnostic evaluation, which includes an interview and, if necessary, a physical examination (Parekh. 2017). Blood tests can be conducted to ascertain that depression is not precipitated by a medical condition like thyroid dysfunction. The evaluation is to identify specific symptoms, medical and family history, cultural factors, and environmental factors to derive a diagnosis and establish a treatment plan (Parekh. 2017). One of the assessment tools for depression is the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. In this discussion, I will be discussing the psychometric properties of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and elaborate on when it is appropriate to utilize this assessment tool with clients, including whether the tool can be utilized to evaluate the efficacy of psychopharmacologic medications.
The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) was introduced in early 1960. It has been considered as a gold standard in depression studies and a preferred scale in the evaluation of depression treatment. It is the most vastly utilized observer-rated depression scale worldwide (Vindbjerg.et.al., 2019). The HDRS was initially created to measure symptoms severity in depressed inpatient; however, the 17-item HAM-D has advanced in over five decades into 11 modified versions that have been administered to various patient populations in an array of psychiatric, medical, and other research settings (Rohan.et.al., 2016). There are two most common versions with either 17 or 21 items and is scored between 0-4 points. Each item assists mental health professionals or c.

Technet Case Study for Virtualization
Technet is a hypothetical business in the storage manufacturing industry. This paper intend to elaborate the server virtualization concept using Microsoft
virtualization software from Windows server 2012R2. Organization’s Preparedness for Virtualization. As of now, the IT system design is a mishmash of old
frameworks that were obtained through various acquisitions of different providers in the storage industry. In any case, these old frameworks are aging and will soon
need to be upgraded. Generally, these old frameworks support applications that have been in service for about 10 years. The IT system situated in one of Technet
branch in Asia for instance comprise of old servers that have been in service for the last 5 years. These old servers were launched to support production and
productivity applications. The expense for permit of these old applications are presently being inspected to check whether they can be dropped and the
information moved to current Technet Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications. Consequently, since several IT related components are potential
contender for upgrading, this makes the likelihood of changing over current physical server farms into virtualized computing resources appropriate. Microsoft
Licensing of Virtualized Environments
Datacenter and the Standard edition are the two license version for Windows Server 2012R2 offered by Microsoft. There is likewise a free version called
Hyper-V Server which is an independent system that only contains the Windows hypervisor, a driver model as well as virtualization modules. Every window
version underpins Hyper-V, which is Microsoft's Type-1 hypervisor offering, likewise referred to as a bare-metal installation, and each Hyper-V server is known as a

Sourcing
After 13 years, Kellwood, an American apparel maker, ended its soups!to!nuts IS outsourcing
arrangement with EDS . The primary focus of the original outsourcing contract was to integrate
12 individually acquired units with different systems into one system. Kellwood had been satis-
" ed enough with EDS ’ s performance to renegotiate the contract in 2002 and 2008, even though
at each renegotiation point, Kellwood had considered bringing the IS operations back in house,
or backsourcing. The 2008 contract iteration resulted in a more # exible $105 million contract that
EDS estimated would save Kellwood $2 million in the " rst year and $9 million over the remaining
contract years. But the situation at Kellwood had changed drastically. In 2008, Kellwood had been
purchased by Sun Capital Partners and taken private. The chief operating of" cer (COO), who was
facing a mountain of debt and possibly bankruptcy, wanted to consolidate and bring the operations
back in house to give some order to the current situation and reduce costs. Kellwood was suffering
from a lack of IS standardization as a result of its many acquisitions. The chief information of" cer
(CIO) recognized the importance of IS standardization and costs, but she was concerned that the
transition from outsourcing to insourcing would cause serious disruption to IS service levels and
project deadlines if it went poorly. Kellwood hired a third!party consultant to help it explore the
issues and decided that backsourcing would save money and respond to changes caused by both the
market and internal forces. Kellwood decided to backsource and started the process in late 2009. It
carefully planned for the transition, and the implementation went smoothly. By performing stream-
lined operations in house, it was able to report an impressive $3.6 million savings, or about 17% of
annual IS expenses after the " rst year. 1
The Kellwood case demonstrates a series of decisions made in relation to sourcing. Both the
decision to outsource IS operations and then to bring them back in house were based on a series of
This chapter is organized around decisions in the Sourcing Decision Cycle. The ! rst question
regarding information systems (IS) in the cycle relates to the decision to make (insource) or
buy (outsource) them. This chapter ’ s focus is on issues related to outsourcing whereas issues
related to insourcing are discussed in other chapters of this book. Discussed are the critical
decisions in the Sourcing Decision Cycle: how and where (cloud computing, onshoring,
offshoring). When the choice is offshoring, the next decision is where abroad (farshoring,
nearshoring, or captive centers). Explored next in this chapter is the ! nal decision in the
cycle, keep as is or change in which case the current arrangements are assessed and modi-
! cations are made to the outsourcing arrangem.

The Digestive System
– Food nourishes the body by providing energy for
activity
– Digestion begins in the mouth
• Salivary glands provide moisture that allows food to
have taste
• Importance of good mastication
The Digestive System
The Digestive System
– Food is swallowed and then moves through the
pharynx and esophagus
– Peristalsis moves food through the digestive
system
– In the stomach, food is mixed with gastric juices
so it can be absorbed by the small intestine
– Most nutrients are digested in the small intestine
– Digestion process is complete when waste is
eliminated

Supporting the Gut Microbiome
Dysbiosis = unbalanced gut microbiome
• associated with weight gain, insulin resistance,
inflammation
Probiotics
• contain live microorganisms
• maintain or improve the "good" bacteria (normal microflora)
in the body
• e.g., fermented foods, yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi
Prebiotics
• act as food for human microflora
• helps improve microflora balance
• e.g., whole grains, bananas, greens, onions, garlic

Factors in Weight Maintenance
– Stable weight occurs when calories eaten equal those
expended for body metabolism and physical exercise
[OLD THINKING]
– Complicated interplay of nutrients, hormones, and
inflammation
• Metabolic rates differ from person to person
• Ghrelin, a hormone, stimulates appetite
• Leptin, a protein, signals satiation and fat storage
• Insulin, a hormone produced in pancreas
– unlocks cells for glucose use for energy
– cues hypothalamus for satiation and decreased appetite
Factors in Weight Maintenance
What is obesity?
– Overeating is not the sole cause of obesity
– Various methods to assess body fat
• Skin-fold technique
• Percentage body fat
• Body mass index (BMI)
– Can also be thought of in terms of social and
cultural standards
– ideal body = thinner in past 50 years

2020/2/21 Critical Review #2 - WebCOM™ 2.0
https://smc.grtep.com/index.cfm/smcc/page/2criticalreviews 2/10
1. Every essay that you write for this course must have a clear thesis, placed
(perhaps) somewhere near the end of the introductory paragraph. Simply
stated, a THESIS (or ARGUMENT) expresses, preferably in a single sentence,
the point you want to make about the text that is the subject of your essay. A
THESIS should be an opinion or interpretation of the text, not merely a fact or
observation. The best possible THESIS will answer some speci�c questions
about the text. Very often the THESIS contains an outline of the major points
to be covered in the essay. A possible thesis for an essay on character in
Perry Henzell’s The Harder They Come might read somewhat as follows:
The protagonist of THTC is not a hero in the epic sense of the word, but a
self-centered young man bred of economic oppression and cultural
dependency. The characters in this �lm have no real psychological depth, but
are markers for a society of consumption and momentary glory.
(You might then go on to exemplify from the text and argue in favor or
against this interpretation: your essay need not hold to only one perspective.)
What single, clear QUESTION does the above THESIS attempt to answer?
2. Each essay should be organized into �ve (5) paragraphs, each based on one
of two to four major ideas, which will comprise the BODY of the essay. Each
paragraph must have a topic sentence, often (but not always) towards the
beginning of the paragraph, which clearly states the ARGUMENT or point to
be made in the paragraph. Following the thesis set forth.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
