Course Description
(For students majoring in both science and nonscience disciplines.) A survey of the mechanisms of disease and their expression in major
organ systems of the human body. The goal is to use scientific reasoning to make informed decisions about matters related to human biology
and health. Topics include infections, cancer, heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, stroke, malnutrition, poisoning by environmental toxins,
stress, inflammation, disorders of the immune system, and aging. Emphasis is on analysis of factors that cause disruption of healthy body
functions, leading to disease, and on prevention of disease through control of risk factors and early detection. Students may receive credit for
only one of the following courses: BIOL 301 or BIOL 398H.
Course Introduction
Human Health and Disease is an upper-level science course. You will learn about the human body and its structural components and
mechanisms that help the body maintain optimal working order. We will explore the relationship between the body's structure (anatomy) and
function (physiology), learning how the body works when it is healthy and what happens when it is affected by a disease.
We will learn to distinguish between healthy and diseased function of the various levels of organization in the body starting from the smallest
living units?cells?and moving on to tissues, organs, and organ systems. We will discuss how the coordination of metabolic activities at each
level benefits the body and explore how all parts of the body work together to maintain a stable internal environment that allows the body to
function properly within set limits.
We will then discuss general categories of diseases caused by pathogens, genetic defects, and environmental factors, and learn how a single
disease agent affects not just one organ, but ultimately causes disruption in the body's homeostasis. We will also explore diagnostic
procedures, treatment options, and potential outcomes of various diseases as they pertain to specific organ systems. We will learn to
recognize the risk factors leading to diseases and identi.

· What constitutes American music? (The first thought that comes to my mind when I ask this question is that if there were a true American music, it would have to be that of the American Indians who were the original inhabitants of this part of the world. This is true but as we all know, the European settlers savagely repressed the Native Americans and so little of their music was absorbed into the Euro/American culture.)
It is impossible to answer this question without considering the effect of African traditions on our musical heritage. Consider this quote from the Czech composer Antonin Dvorak, who spent several years in the United States teaching and conducting concerts of his own music:
“I am now satisfied that the future music of this country must be founded upon what are called "negro melodies". This must be the real foundation of any serious and original school of composition to be developed in the United States."
He was correct of course but I doubt he could ever have imagined the direction and diversity that school of composition would take. The "negro melodies" he was referring to are Negro Spirituals, work songs, field "hollers" and other such styles that developed in the South during the years of slavery. These songs are a blend of European musical traditions and African influences and are unique to the United States. They are rooted in the African American experience of slavery and the continuing struggle for freedom but if you think they are primarily political in that sense or racially exclusive, consider another quote for Dvorak:
"In the Negro melodies of America I discover all that is needed for a great and noble school of music. They are pathetic, tender, passionate, melancholy, solemn, religious, bold, merry, gay or what you will. It is music that suits itself to any mood or any purpose. There is nothing in the whole age of composition that cannot be supplied with themes from this source."
These "Negro melodies"- Spirituals, work songs, ragtime and the blues- are in fact at the heart of what American music has become. Everything from popular songs to jazz to "rock and roll" owe something to the style and energy of these songs.
The goal of this paper is to get an understanding the origins of what has become, with all due respect to native Americans, a truly American music.
To do this, I want you to research and write about the following topics:
1. The Negro Spiritual (pp. 44-46 in the text)
a. What are they and where did they come from?
b. What is their relation to Gospel music?
c. Describe the basic musical elements of Spirituals as best you can, using the concepts of melody, rhythm, harmony, timbre, texture and form as discussed in the text.
d. What elements of these .

NON FICTION STORY
Jazelle James
When I was a child, my isolated locality school closed was shut down and I had to stroll for a nearly a kilometer to get to a better school in the city. I traversed various busy streets and crime-filled regions to get to the school, though I had no idea how cruel and unkind human beings could be. I was still naïve (Jackson, 2008). I would walk to school in the company of my fellow classmates from my neighborhood. Along the way to school, there was a grey colonial household which had a small backyard and it looked like it had been converted into various apartments. I had never noticed how ragged the house was until one day an old lady hailed to us with a surprisingly sweet voice and a deep smile.
“Look up at that tree!” she said, “can you see any Cedar Waxwings?” I had no knowledge about Cedar Waxwings till the lady pointed out to me the birds in her backyard. We would often try to spot the lady gardening her backyard every evening as we left school. Her lawn was always b.

Which theoretical perspective on personality and moral development most closely represents your view?
Short response required for each question, in text APA citations required for each response (no assigned resource provided)
Did the response apply the following Socratic Approach, using Steps 1 through 4?
Question 1 of 4
Step 1: Identify the elements of the problem, issue, or question. Did the response adequately include this step? Yes or No? If no, what was missing?

Step 3: Consider solutions, responses, or answers. Did the response adequately include this step? Yes or No? If no, what was missing?
Question 4 of 4
Step 4: Choose a solution, response, or answer. Did the response adequately include this step? Yes or No? If no, what was missing?
Sample Response:
In the context of the nature versus nurture controversy, nature means one’s genetic inheritance of traits such as intelligence, physical characteristics, and personality tendencies (Vander Zanden, Crandell, & Crandell, 2009). Nurture means the influence of environment, including parenting, schooling, physical environment, culture, and other factors (Vander Zanden et al., 2009). In the past, social scientists and others argued which factor—nature or nurture —was responsible in a given situation, but it is more common today to ask either how much is due to nature versus nurture, or how they interact (Vander Zanden et al., 2009). Vander Zanden et al. (2009) therefore characterize the current nature versus nurture controversy as asking either how or how much, rather than which.
While there are many theories that address the nature-nurture controversy, behaviorism most closely represents my view. Most of the behaviors needed to succeed in life are within the capabilities of most people, but some people’s environments make success unlikely for them. If a person is raised in an environment that does not support educational activities, that person is unlikely to become a physicist, even if he or she was born with the intelligence traits of an Einstein. Similarly, those raised in a violent environment are more likely to be violent, such as those who were abused as children may subsequently abuse their own children.

AssignmentIn 2017, one of the biggest cyberattacks ever to occur.docxedmondpburgess27164
Assignment
In 2017, one of the biggest cyberattacks ever to occur was caused by the failure of the management and IT staff at a well-known, very large enterprise to take the necessary action to prevent the hacking the personal information of over 800 million customers. The ability of the black hats to penetrate the technology portal at mega-giant Equifax and steal personal information was determined to be the simple failure to apply a patch to fix a known risk referred to as the Apache Struts vulnerability. An alert had been promulgated and the employees at Equifax knew of the vulnerability, and even ran some scans, but never applied the patch that would have prevented the reconnaissance and penetration of the data farm at Equifax. The credit-reporting agency had two months to apply the fix before the cybercriminals began stealing the data.

Case Study
Amazon.com, Inc. – Early Development and Financing
At age 31, Jeffrey Bezos resigned his position as Senior Vice President of D. E.
Shaw & Co., a Wall Street investment firm, to found an Internet venture. Bezos, who
holds a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Princeton
University, had been searching systematically for a way to participate in the growth of
retailing on the Internet. After considering a number of alternatives, he settled on the
idea of establishing an online bookstore.
Overview
Amazon.com was founded in Seattle, Washington in July 1994 with an initial
investment of $10,000 by Bezos. The entire first year of the venture’s existence was
devoted to development of infrastructure: designing the website, establishing relations
with distributors, developing software to manage book orders and deliveries, designing a
search engine, and developing the software to manage the cash flow of the venture. For
the most part, development efforts were performed by Bezos, himself.
Amazon.com opened for business on the Internet in July 1995, billing itself as
“Earth’s Biggest Bookstore.” The Company offers over 2.5 million titles, including most
of the 1.5 million of the English-language titles currently in print. By contrast, even the
largest traditional bookstore does not carry more than 175,000 titles in inventory.
The Company’s objective is to become “the leading online retailer of information-
based products and services, with an initial focus on books.” Amazon expects to compete
against traditional bookstores by offering books that are in high demand at discount
prices that are difficult for the traditional bookstores to match and by offering
convenience and information that cannot be duplicated by traditional bookstores.
Amazon’s reliance on the Internet affords it a cost advantage that canno.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
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.
