Week 5 Microskills ScenarioLaura is a relatively new client w.docx
Week 5: Microskills Scenario
Laura is a relatively new client who presented with a reduced level of motivation and difficulty concentrating at her job. She has experienced difficulty falling asleep and has been eating more junk food than usual. Laura shared that she has some doubts about her ability to work at the same level as others in her department; these feelings increased after a recent promotion which required her to relocate. She sees herself as typically not needing help and as the “one who gets things done,” so her loss of motivation is quite distressing to her. She described herself as someone who is usually taking care of others. This tendency was fostered in her family of origin due to her parents’ spending a lot of time outside of the home in their jobs, which left Laura to take on a lot of parenting duties with her two younger siblings.
During the most recent session, Laura focused on her relationship with her partner, Tamara. Tamara is
still living in the city where they met, which is a three-hour drive from where Laura is now living for her new position.
She disclosed that Tamara has a history of cheating on her partners and also blaming them for not fulfilling her needs. Laura wants to set boundaries with her because she needs more time for herself and her job, but she worries that if she does not give Tamara enough time, Tamara will cheat on Laura. Laura also noted that about a month ago, Tamara lied to her about where she was going, and Laura found out through someone else that Tamara was at a sporting event with a woman she dated in the past. When Laura confronted Tamara about this, she justified it by saying that it was innocent. Tamara said she did not tell Laura because she did not want Laura’s feelings to get hurt. Ultimately, Laura believes that no matter what she does or how much she tries to meet Tamara’s needs, if Tamara does not work through this issue for herself, she may still look outside the relationship to get some needs met. At the end of the session, Laura said it felt really good to talk about this issue. She has been thinking about it a lot but did not want to talk to friends because she did not want them to look at or treat Tamara differently and because she did not want her friends to think that they were having problems. But it has been on her mind, and she felt very good about being able to talk about her concerns in therapy.

Week 4Cardiovascular DisordersVeins and arteries are vital eleme.docx
Week 4
Cardiovascular Disorders
Veins and arteries are vital elements of the cardiovascular system. They carry the blood supply through the body and are essential for proper function. Sometimes veins and arteries malfunction, resulting in cardiovascular disorders. Malfunctions of arteries and veins are similar to malfunctions of a water hose. Consider the structure and function of a hose. A tap releases water, which then travels through the hose and comes out the other end. If the hose has been dormant for several months, dirt and rusty particles might build up inside, resulting in a restricted flow of water. Similarly, buildup of plaque inside the coronary arteries restricts blood flow and leads to disorders such as coronary heart disease. This disease is one of the most common cardiovascular disorders, and according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (2011), is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. In this Discussion, you examine the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders such as coronary heart disease.
To prepare:
·
Review this week’s media presentation on alterations of cardiovascular functions, as well as Chapter 23 in the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders.
·
Select one patient factor
: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or
behavior
. Consider how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders.
·
Select one of the following alterations of cardiovascular disorders
: peripheral arterial disease, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease,
congestive heart failure,
or dysrhythmia. Think about how hypertension or dyslipidemia can lead to the alteration you selected.
Post a 1 page paper APA format
1 a thorough description of the
pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders
, including how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology.
2 Then, explain how hypertension or dyslipidemia can lead to the alteration you selected for patients with the factor you identified.

This file contains some information about a collection of movies.
How many observations are there in this file?
In this file, there are three variables, labeled Smokers, ETS, and No ETS.
The dataset was collected for a study of second-hand smoke. The
sample data consists of the
measured serum cotinine levels
in three different groups of people.
·
The NOETS group lists the cotinine levels for subjects who are nonsmokers and have no exposure to environmental tobacco smoke at home or work.
·
The ETS group lists cotinine levels for subjects who are nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke at home or work.
·
The SMOKERS group lists cotinine levels for subjects who report tobacco use.
Serum cotinine is a metabolite of nicotine, meaning that cotinine is produced when nicotine is absorbed by the body. Higher levels of cotinine correspond to higher levels of exposure to smoke that contains nicotine.

Week 4 - AssignmentCreating a Unit Plan Once you’ve gotten.docx
Week 4 - Assignment
Creating a Unit Plan
Once you’ve gotten to know your students through learning profile inventories that identify individual areas of strength and learning styles, you can design multimodal lessons that incorporate instructional technology that engage the 21st century learner. This week, you will create a three-day unit plan outline that addresses students’ diverse learning styles and multiple intelligences, acknowledges cultural and language differences, and integrates digital tools and technology.
Using the textbook as guidance, create a Unit Plan outline, using the
provided template
that includes:
Introduction:
Describe the demographics of your current (or fictional classroom) including:
Grade Level and Subject Area
Total number of students – ability levels, gender, students with special needs, English Language Learners (ELLs)
Other relevant information (such as socioeconomic status, family background, recurring behavior issues, etc.)
Stage 1:
The first stage is to determine the “Big Picture”; what you want students to learn, conceptually, at the unit’s conclusion. You must:
Identify the content, unit title, unit subject, and at least one Common Core State Standard (CCSS) that aligns with the unit.
Create at least two measurable unit objectives that align with the CCSS.
Describe what you want the students to master including key concepts, “big ideas”, and major understandings (see the textbook, Chapter 4 for guidance).
The following resources are helpful when creating Stage 1:
Common Core Standards - The Standards
Writing measurable learning objectives
.
P21 common core toolkit
Stage 2:
The second stage outlines evidence of learning including pre-assessments, formative assessments, and a summative assessment.
Pre-assessment:
Explain how you will measure student’s level of readiness and preexisting knowledge specific to the content chosen. Include how you will take into account student strengths, interests, and learning needs.
Formative Assessment:
Explain how you will use formative assessments to drive differentiated instruction throughout the unit specific to the content you’ve chosen. Be sure to include how these assessments address UDL principals.
Summative Assessment:
Design a summative assessment that will measure the student’s level of unit mastery. You must include how this assessment addresses UDL principals and DI theory and how the assessment takes into account your diverse student population.
Stage 3:
The final stage of the unit plan involves developing the activities and experiences, building upon what you determined in Stage 1. “This stage involves tailoring learning activities to the identified strengths, learning styles, and interests of students, organizing lessons in a meaningful way that emphasizes the relevance of the learning, and engaging the learners with active learning strategies”(Chapter 4, pp. 5-6). In addition, this stage should also incorporate self-regulation strat.

Week 3 Homework Questions1)The following questions are based.docx
Week 3 Homework Questions
1)
The following questions are based on the same scenario I used for question 3 in your week 1 homework.
That question addressed violations of the Code of Conduct.
I want to apply the same scenario to legal liabilities.
Here is a copy of the scenario:
John Smith owns a small, privately held firm.
He hired you to audit its financial statements.
He told you that the audit was to be completed in time to submit audited financial statements to a bank as part of a loan application.
You immediately accepted the engagement and agreed to provide an auditor's report within three weeks.
John agreed to pay you a fixed fee plus a bonus if the loan was granted.
You hired two accounting students to conduct the audit and spent several hours telling them exactly what to do.
You told the students not to spend time reviewing John's internal controls but instead to concentrate on proving the mathematical accuracy of the ledger accounts and on summarizing the data in the accounting records that support John's financial statements.
The students followed your instructions and, after two weeks, gave you the financial statements, which did not include footnotes.
You studied the statements and prepared an unqualified auditor's report.
The report, however, did not refer to generally accepted accounting principles or to the fact that John had changed to the accounting standard for capitalized interest.
Here are the new questions:
a)
After the audit was completed, John used the financial statements to secure a loan from a bank.
Within a year, John was unable to make payments on the loan.
In the process of investigating the reason why, the bank determined that the financial statements were material misstated.
John, however, was near bankruptcy and could not pay off the loan.
The bank sued you for the balance due on the loan.
Given the violations I discussed in my solution to the week 1 homework, do you think the bank will prevail?
You answer should provide an analysis of the legal issues involved to include what basis the bank would have to sue, what you level of liability would be(proportionate or joint and several), and a clear statement of why or why not you think the bank would prevail to include how effective your defenses might be.
b)
Now assume that instead of applying for a bank loan, you knew that John was planning to use the financial statements as part of a prospectus for an initial public stock offering (IPO), i.e., John's firm sold stock directly to the public.
John did and a potential investor read the prospectus and did a comprehensive analysis of the financial statements as a basis for his decision to buy a significant portion of stock in the new corporation.
A year later, the firm was doing so badly that its stock price was down to 10% of what it was after the IPO.
The investor sued both the John'
s new corporation
and you for his investment losses.
During the trial, the investor was able to show.

Week 2 LeonLeon is a 52-year old man who describes his family.docx
Week 2: Leon
Leon is a 52-year old man who describes his family of origin as "extremely dysfunctional," with both parents having "addictive personalities." His father was an alcoholic, and fathered many children by several woman. Leon's father was also verbally and physically abusive. Shouting and violence were common family experiences.
His parents divorced when Leon was six. As a divorcee with illegitimate children, his mother became an outcast in his small town, so she moved his family to Mexico City. There, his mother dealt with the stresses of life by becoming extremely angry and violent with her children. At age 17, Leon had reached the limit of his ability to endure this violence. He moved out of the house, along with his brothers and sisters. As the oldest child, Leon became the main source of support for his younger siblings.
Leon studied to be a plumber, and later a general contractor.
He had deep anxiety about committing to marriage and family, and especially feared being abandoned. Eventually, Leon married a designer, and they had two daughters, and have been married for 27 years. He describes himself as “committed, but distant” from his wife, feeling himself disengaged from family activities and finding little joy in anything. Mostly apathetic, recently, his older daughter chose to work instead of attending college, Leon noted that he reacted with frustration and anger, reminding himself of his mother.
Leon feels lack of energy, occasional heart palpitations, insomnia, and constipation (since age six, when his parents divorced).

Week 2 Discussion
Design Basics Used to Create Balance
The Chinese have a theory that you pass through boredom into fascination and I think it’s true. I would never choose a subject for what it means to me or what I think about it. You’ve just got to choose a subject, and what you feel about it, what it means, begins to unfold if you just plain choose a subject and do it enough.
––Diane Arbus
Diane Arbus was a highly original photographer who has greatly influenced the course of contemporary photography. In her
Photography: A Cultural History
(2002), Mary Warner Marien writes:
Arbus turned normalcy on its head, making the ordinary bizarre and naturalizing the unusual. In her photographs of people, many of them made while she roamed the streets of New York, clothes and cosmetics are futile efforts to camouflage psychic emptiness or damage. When Arbus photographed children, she revealed them as little versions of bad-tempered, mean-spirited adults. […] On the other hand, her photographs of people at the margins of society, such as female impersonators, show them to be more virtuous for having unmasked their subjective inclinations. For Arbus, marginal people were symbols for her own psychological fragility and trauma (p. 352).
The thematic power of Arbus’s work is based on the masterful composition of her subject matter, balancing key elements within a square frame format, which is uniquely identified with her mature style.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review Chapters 2 and 3 in your course text,
The Photographer’s Eye.
Review Diane Arbus’s photograph,
Child with Toy Hand Grenade, 1962
.
Review the websites from this week’s Learning Resources for more inspiration and examples of photographs.
Consider the following questions regarding the Arbus photograph:
How does the use of a square frame impact the balance of the photograph?
What elements contribute to the balance of the photograph presented here? Would you say this is a balanced photograph? Explain your response.
Does this composition draw your eyes more to the center of the frame or more to the edges? Give evidence for your response.
How does the photograph demonstrate contrast, tension, rhythm, and/or depth?
How does the subject of the photograph relate to the background?
How is perspective created in the photograph?
Is the photograph more weighted toward information or emotion? Explain your response.
While considering the questions above, compare the assigned photograph with Arbus’s 1967 photograph,
Identical Twins, Roselle, N.J., 1967
. Explain how these photographs differ and how they are similar.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3
a response that addresses
three
of the questions. Analyze how Arbus uses placement to create or disrupt a sense of balance in her composition. (Approximately
250 words

Week 4Cardiovascular DisordersVeins and arteries are vital eleme.docx
Week 4
Cardiovascular Disorders
Veins and arteries are vital elements of the cardiovascular system. They carry the blood supply through the body and are essential for proper function. Sometimes veins and arteries malfunction, resulting in cardiovascular disorders. Malfunctions of arteries and veins are similar to malfunctions of a water hose. Consider the structure and function of a hose. A tap releases water, which then travels through the hose and comes out the other end. If the hose has been dormant for several months, dirt and rusty particles might build up inside, resulting in a restricted flow of water. Similarly, buildup of plaque inside the coronary arteries restricts blood flow and leads to disorders such as coronary heart disease. This disease is one of the most common cardiovascular disorders, and according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (2011), is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. In this Discussion, you examine the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders such as coronary heart disease.
To prepare:
·
Review this week’s media presentation on alterations of cardiovascular functions, as well as Chapter 23 in the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders.
·
Select one patient factor
: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or
behavior
. Consider how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders.
·
Select one of the following alterations of cardiovascular disorders
: peripheral arterial disease, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease,
congestive heart failure,
or dysrhythmia. Think about how hypertension or dyslipidemia can lead to the alteration you selected.
Post a 1 page paper APA format
1 a thorough description of the
pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders
, including how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology.
2 Then, explain how hypertension or dyslipidemia can lead to the alteration you selected for patients with the factor you identified.

This file contains some information about a collection of movies.
How many observations are there in this file?
In this file, there are three variables, labeled Smokers, ETS, and No ETS.
The dataset was collected for a study of second-hand smoke. The
sample data consists of the
measured serum cotinine levels
in three different groups of people.
·
The NOETS group lists the cotinine levels for subjects who are nonsmokers and have no exposure to environmental tobacco smoke at home or work.
·
The ETS group lists cotinine levels for subjects who are nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke at home or work.
·
The SMOKERS group lists cotinine levels for subjects who report tobacco use.
Serum cotinine is a metabolite of nicotine, meaning that cotinine is produced when nicotine is absorbed by the body. Higher levels of cotinine correspond to higher levels of exposure to smoke that contains nicotine.

Week 4 - AssignmentCreating a Unit Plan Once you’ve gotten.docx
Week 4 - Assignment
Creating a Unit Plan
Once you’ve gotten to know your students through learning profile inventories that identify individual areas of strength and learning styles, you can design multimodal lessons that incorporate instructional technology that engage the 21st century learner. This week, you will create a three-day unit plan outline that addresses students’ diverse learning styles and multiple intelligences, acknowledges cultural and language differences, and integrates digital tools and technology.
Using the textbook as guidance, create a Unit Plan outline, using the
provided template
that includes:
Introduction:
Describe the demographics of your current (or fictional classroom) including:
Grade Level and Subject Area
Total number of students – ability levels, gender, students with special needs, English Language Learners (ELLs)
Other relevant information (such as socioeconomic status, family background, recurring behavior issues, etc.)
Stage 1:
The first stage is to determine the “Big Picture”; what you want students to learn, conceptually, at the unit’s conclusion. You must:
Identify the content, unit title, unit subject, and at least one Common Core State Standard (CCSS) that aligns with the unit.
Create at least two measurable unit objectives that align with the CCSS.
Describe what you want the students to master including key concepts, “big ideas”, and major understandings (see the textbook, Chapter 4 for guidance).
The following resources are helpful when creating Stage 1:
Common Core Standards - The Standards
Writing measurable learning objectives
.
P21 common core toolkit
Stage 2:
The second stage outlines evidence of learning including pre-assessments, formative assessments, and a summative assessment.
Pre-assessment:
Explain how you will measure student’s level of readiness and preexisting knowledge specific to the content chosen. Include how you will take into account student strengths, interests, and learning needs.
Formative Assessment:
Explain how you will use formative assessments to drive differentiated instruction throughout the unit specific to the content you’ve chosen. Be sure to include how these assessments address UDL principals.
Summative Assessment:
Design a summative assessment that will measure the student’s level of unit mastery. You must include how this assessment addresses UDL principals and DI theory and how the assessment takes into account your diverse student population.
Stage 3:
The final stage of the unit plan involves developing the activities and experiences, building upon what you determined in Stage 1. “This stage involves tailoring learning activities to the identified strengths, learning styles, and interests of students, organizing lessons in a meaningful way that emphasizes the relevance of the learning, and engaging the learners with active learning strategies”(Chapter 4, pp. 5-6). In addition, this stage should also incorporate self-regulation strat.

Week 3 Homework Questions1)The following questions are based.docx
Week 3 Homework Questions
1)
The following questions are based on the same scenario I used for question 3 in your week 1 homework.
That question addressed violations of the Code of Conduct.
I want to apply the same scenario to legal liabilities.
Here is a copy of the scenario:
John Smith owns a small, privately held firm.
He hired you to audit its financial statements.
He told you that the audit was to be completed in time to submit audited financial statements to a bank as part of a loan application.
You immediately accepted the engagement and agreed to provide an auditor's report within three weeks.
John agreed to pay you a fixed fee plus a bonus if the loan was granted.
You hired two accounting students to conduct the audit and spent several hours telling them exactly what to do.
You told the students not to spend time reviewing John's internal controls but instead to concentrate on proving the mathematical accuracy of the ledger accounts and on summarizing the data in the accounting records that support John's financial statements.
The students followed your instructions and, after two weeks, gave you the financial statements, which did not include footnotes.
You studied the statements and prepared an unqualified auditor's report.
The report, however, did not refer to generally accepted accounting principles or to the fact that John had changed to the accounting standard for capitalized interest.
Here are the new questions:
a)
After the audit was completed, John used the financial statements to secure a loan from a bank.
Within a year, John was unable to make payments on the loan.
In the process of investigating the reason why, the bank determined that the financial statements were material misstated.
John, however, was near bankruptcy and could not pay off the loan.
The bank sued you for the balance due on the loan.
Given the violations I discussed in my solution to the week 1 homework, do you think the bank will prevail?
You answer should provide an analysis of the legal issues involved to include what basis the bank would have to sue, what you level of liability would be(proportionate or joint and several), and a clear statement of why or why not you think the bank would prevail to include how effective your defenses might be.
b)
Now assume that instead of applying for a bank loan, you knew that John was planning to use the financial statements as part of a prospectus for an initial public stock offering (IPO), i.e., John's firm sold stock directly to the public.
John did and a potential investor read the prospectus and did a comprehensive analysis of the financial statements as a basis for his decision to buy a significant portion of stock in the new corporation.
A year later, the firm was doing so badly that its stock price was down to 10% of what it was after the IPO.
The investor sued both the John'
s new corporation
and you for his investment losses.
During the trial, the investor was able to show.

Week 2 LeonLeon is a 52-year old man who describes his family.docx
Week 2: Leon
Leon is a 52-year old man who describes his family of origin as "extremely dysfunctional," with both parents having "addictive personalities." His father was an alcoholic, and fathered many children by several woman. Leon's father was also verbally and physically abusive. Shouting and violence were common family experiences.
His parents divorced when Leon was six. As a divorcee with illegitimate children, his mother became an outcast in his small town, so she moved his family to Mexico City. There, his mother dealt with the stresses of life by becoming extremely angry and violent with her children. At age 17, Leon had reached the limit of his ability to endure this violence. He moved out of the house, along with his brothers and sisters. As the oldest child, Leon became the main source of support for his younger siblings.
Leon studied to be a plumber, and later a general contractor.
He had deep anxiety about committing to marriage and family, and especially feared being abandoned. Eventually, Leon married a designer, and they had two daughters, and have been married for 27 years. He describes himself as “committed, but distant” from his wife, feeling himself disengaged from family activities and finding little joy in anything. Mostly apathetic, recently, his older daughter chose to work instead of attending college, Leon noted that he reacted with frustration and anger, reminding himself of his mother.
Leon feels lack of energy, occasional heart palpitations, insomnia, and constipation (since age six, when his parents divorced).

Week 2 Discussion
Design Basics Used to Create Balance
The Chinese have a theory that you pass through boredom into fascination and I think it’s true. I would never choose a subject for what it means to me or what I think about it. You’ve just got to choose a subject, and what you feel about it, what it means, begins to unfold if you just plain choose a subject and do it enough.
––Diane Arbus
Diane Arbus was a highly original photographer who has greatly influenced the course of contemporary photography. In her
Photography: A Cultural History
(2002), Mary Warner Marien writes:
Arbus turned normalcy on its head, making the ordinary bizarre and naturalizing the unusual. In her photographs of people, many of them made while she roamed the streets of New York, clothes and cosmetics are futile efforts to camouflage psychic emptiness or damage. When Arbus photographed children, she revealed them as little versions of bad-tempered, mean-spirited adults. […] On the other hand, her photographs of people at the margins of society, such as female impersonators, show them to be more virtuous for having unmasked their subjective inclinations. For Arbus, marginal people were symbols for her own psychological fragility and trauma (p. 352).
The thematic power of Arbus’s work is based on the masterful composition of her subject matter, balancing key elements within a square frame format, which is uniquely identified with her mature style.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review Chapters 2 and 3 in your course text,
The Photographer’s Eye.
Review Diane Arbus’s photograph,
Child with Toy Hand Grenade, 1962
.
Review the websites from this week’s Learning Resources for more inspiration and examples of photographs.
Consider the following questions regarding the Arbus photograph:
How does the use of a square frame impact the balance of the photograph?
What elements contribute to the balance of the photograph presented here? Would you say this is a balanced photograph? Explain your response.
Does this composition draw your eyes more to the center of the frame or more to the edges? Give evidence for your response.
How does the photograph demonstrate contrast, tension, rhythm, and/or depth?
How does the subject of the photograph relate to the background?
How is perspective created in the photograph?
Is the photograph more weighted toward information or emotion? Explain your response.
While considering the questions above, compare the assigned photograph with Arbus’s 1967 photograph,
Identical Twins, Roselle, N.J., 1967
. Explain how these photographs differ and how they are similar.
With these thoughts in mind:

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
