For this assignment you will complete research using scholarly sources to locate and discuss two different diseases. One disease example must be of microbial origin and the second disease example must be of non-microbial origin. As a reminder, microbes that cause disease are called pathogens. A pathogen is a micro-organism that has the potential to cause disease. The most common microbial causes of diseases and infections are bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. Examples of non-microbial causes of disease include immune or nervous system disorders, psychological stress, traumatic injury, chemicals, etc. You will create a PowerPoint presentation. For each disease, discuss the following: pathophysiology prevalence etiology clinical manifestations diagnosis treatment - when discussing treatment, it will be imperative that you discuss medication administration and dosage. Presentation Use PowerPoint Include a title slide Make sure that each slide is clearly labeled Use the notes area of the slide to use as speaker notes (script) as if you were presenting the slide to an audience/class Minimum of 13 slides Include slide transitions Make sure the design is professional and the text is readable.

Pathogenicity and Immunology; Host resistance and the immune response
Modular Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to satisfy the following outcomes:
· Case
· Explain the components of the human immune system.
· Discuss a disease state of the immune system.
· SLP
· Explain and discuss host resistance and its importance in controlling pathogens.
· Discussion
· Discuss vaccines and the immune system.
Module Overview
In Module 3 we examined chemical control of microbes. We have our own biologic methods of controlling microbes that inhabit or attempt to invade our bodies. The concepts of immunity and the immune response will help you to understand how the human body fights infection and the components of the immune system that target specific pathogens.
First let's examine disease transmission and epidemiology. In our modern society and advanced medical skill in the U.S., we don't often think about outbreaks of disease. When you click on this link, notice the regions that have experienced outbreaks and how recently these outbreaks occurred.
As humans, we have several sophisticated systems that are constantly at work to protect us from disease. A pathogen's ability to cause disease depends on virulence factors that enable it to penetrate host tissues, and evade our defenses. It is particularly fascinating that some pathogens can actually render our defenses useless and even turn them against us!
Hospitals and the workplace are often incubators for disease. Read this article about Infectious Diseases in the Workplace to learn about some shocking diseases that are spread more and more easily throughout our country as travel becomes easier, our marketplace becomes more global, and employees are exposed to new threats.
Proceed to your Case and SLP assignments to review these concepts, explore some current disease epidemics in the U.S., and learn more about our immune system.

Case Study: Ebola virus
How to create a case study
The case studies are meant to be an enjoyable, interesting, and informative assignment. This is your chance to show that you understand the key teaching points about a microbe and to communicate these points to in a written format. Have at least 3-4 key referenced points in each of the five areas. The chart below suggests the type of information requested for the pathogen. Outlines can be in whatever form you prefer (bullets/charts/outlines/diagrams or a mix). Be sure to include two discussion questions (and provide complete answers) that you can incorporate into your case study (place them at the end of your write-up). These questions should help connect your case to other material in the course. For example, what other microbes have an A-B toxin? What other viruses are transmitted by fecal-oral spread? Pertinent references can be listed at the bottom of your outline in a small font. Use Council of Science Editors (CSE) Style format for all references. Your textbook may be listed as “Microbiology: A Human Perspective Eugene W. Nester et.al. McGraw-Hill Publisher 7th edition/ 2012”.
Typical Case
What does a typical case look like? Use the standard format for a patient presentation with chief complaint (CC), history of present illness (HPI), key physical exam details (PE), lab findings, signature signs, and any other important findings.
Description of the infectious agent
If it is a bacterium, how is it classified? If it is a virus, what kind of nucleic acid does it have? Does it target specific cellular types (tropism)? Does it form a spore? Is it aerobic? Is it intracellular? Can it only be grown in a specific type of media? How is it distinguished from other members of the species? Does the pathogen have a significant history with humans or animals?
Epidemiology
What do you feel are the most important points about the epidemiology of the disease? Incidence? Portal of entry? Source? Is it a normal microbiota component in the human body? Does it only occur in certain populations or certain geographical areas? Is there a vector involved? What and who is the vector? Is it zoonotic? Does it appear seasonally? Are there currently any outbreaks of this pathogen? What is its ecological niche? Is there a reservoir? Are there currently any outbreaks or epidemics of disease from this pathogen?
Pathogenesis
What is the range of diseases caused by the agent? What organs are affected? What symptoms might the patient have? What is the disease course? Will the patient recover? Are there any long-term sequelae of infection? Latency?
Prophylaxis/Treatment
Is there an antitoxin? Specific antibiotics or a class of antibiotics that are used? Is there a vaccine available? Is treatment curative? Does infection make you immune? Is this immunity life-long? Is there drug resistance? Are there novel treatments?

The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week based on the course competencies covered.
For this assignment, make sure you post your initial response to the
Discussion Area
by
the due date
assigned.
To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use outside sources. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of week.
Epidemic, Endemic, and Pandemic Occurrence of Disease(s)
One aspect of epidemiology is the study of the epidemic, endemic, and pandemic occurrence of disease(s). Some critics may argue diseases and conditions such as bird flu are endemic in many countries, and some may argue human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or AIDS is a series of epidemics.
Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research about the various epidemic, endemic, and pandemic occurrence of disease(s).
Based on your research and understanding, answer the following questions:
At what point does a disease become an epidemic, endemic, or pandemic? What are the parameters that define each of these states of a disease's effect?
Do you agree that bird flu, HIV, or AIDS could be described as a series of epidemics? Why or why not?
Should we study epidemiology and disease control as a complement to the provision of healthcare services? Why or why not?
Disease control has evolved since the discoveries and achievements of these epidemiological pioneers— Hippocrates, John Snow, Pasteur, and Koch. Explain the impact of at least one major historical contribution on the current status of epidemiological practices. How can history potentially shape and impact our future work in public health and clinical medicine? Explain.

Directions-Many of us have been impacted by outbreaks of disease in ou.docx
Directions:
Many of us have been impacted by outbreaks of disease in our lifetimes. Throughout history, humans have battled outbreaks of disease; many have lost their lives to diseases before treatments and cures were discovered. Modern science and medicine have become efficient in developing vaccines and medications to control and treat outbreaks, but whether the diseases will ever truly be eradicated is in question. Considering how many of these infectious diseases exist and how easily they spread, it is important to remember safety issues to reduce and prevent transmission.
For your initial post
, reflect over the past decade and recall a news-breaking infectious outbreak of a disease that made an impact on you. Please include a link to a news article or video related to your outbreak in your initial post. Include the following in your post:
Disease name
Infectious agent (is the disease bacterial, viral, or fungal? List the specific organism (genus species)
Mode of transmission
Signs and symptoms of the disease
Treatment (or treatments) available
Try not to duplicate another classmate’s topic (make your subject line is your disease so it is easy to check)
Explain how that story changed the way you interacted with people, family, or friends.

CASE STUDY RUBRIC MICROBIOLOGY For the Case Study assig.docx
CASE STUDY RUBRIC MICROBIOLOGY
For the Case Study assignment the current pathogen selections may be requested by sending
an email to your instructor!
Assigned Case Study Problem:
You will create a case study for a microbial infection selected from the current pathogen list. Your case
study will be assembled using a detailed rubric (see below). Upon completion, you will submit your
case study to the Blackboard gradebook in Unit 5 and to SafeAssign.
How to create a case study
The case studies are meant to be an enjoyable, interesting, and informative assignment. This is your
chance to show that you understand the key teaching points about a microbe and to communicate
these points in a written format.
What information belongs in my case study?
Have at least 3-4 key referenced points in each of the five areas shown in the Case Study Information
Chart (see below). The left-hand heading in the chart suggests the type of information requested for the
pathogen. Outlines can be in whatever form you prefer (bullets/charts/outlines/diagrams or a mix). Be
sure to include two discussion questions (and provide complete answers) that you can incorporate
into your case study (place them at the end of your write-up). These questions should help connect your
case to other material in the course. For example, what other microbes have an A-B toxin? What other
viruses are transmitted by fecal-oral spread?
How much information should I provide for my case study?
For the Case Study, you are asked to provide at least the information requested in the chart below. The
boxed questions are suggestions for the minimum amount of information within each category. The
more detailed the information, the better the study. You may consult your textbook, CDC, WHO, Access
Medicine, Google Scholar, NCBI, WebMD, etc. to find the information. For example, if you perform a
Google search using the name of the pathogen and the word ‘vaccine’, you will find information on
current vaccines (if any), those in clinical trials, vaccines used only in animals, etc.
Case Study Information Chart
Typical Case What does a typical case look like? Use the standard format for a
patient presentation with chief complaint (CC), history of present illness
(HPI), key physical exam details (PE), lab findings, signature signs, and
any other important findings.
Description of the infectious
agent
If it is a bacterium, how is it classified? If it is a virus, what kind of
nucleic acid does it have? Does it target specific cellular types
(tropism)? Does it form a spore? Is it aerobic? Is it intracellular? Can it
only be grown in a specific type of media? How is it distinguished from
other members of the species? Does the pathogen have a significant
history with humans or animals?
Epidemiology What do you feel are the most important points about the
epidemiology of the disease? Incidence? Portal of entry? Source? Is it a
normal microb.
Please write an essay in which you first clearly identify a single m.docx
Please write an essay in which you first clearly identify a single major achievement in Epidemiology (e.g., Smallpox, HIV/AIDS, Tobacco Use, Cholera). Then briefly describe one important tool that is used to measure its occurrence in a population. Briefly identify one source of public health data on that issue. Finally, incorporating the concepts of risk and rates, briefly discuss at least one major factor that influenced its occurrence.
Instructions
You can submit your paper in Question and Answer format. In other words, list the questions and provide a short answer to each.
Which single achievement in Epidemiology is of particular interest to you? (Some examples include Smallpox, HIV/AIDS, Tobacco Use, and Cholera). Please write 2–3 sentences maximum.
Briefly describe that achievement in Epidemiology (1–2 paragraphs). In what era did this achievement occur? Be sure to cite sources rather than simply stating your opinion.
Briefly describe one important tool that can be used to measure its occurrence in a population. Examples of Tools include surveys, surveillance, and biological monitoring. Please write 2–3 paragraphs about this, and be sure to cite sources rather than simply stating your opinion.
Please identify one specific source of public health data on that issue and write one paragraph about it. Provide a description of the source and a link (i.e., hyperlink or URL) directly to the data source.

Chapter 1 Invitation to Biology Chapter Review Book Title Biol.docx
Chapter 1: Invitation to Biology Chapter Review
Book Title: Biology Today and Tomorrow with Physiology
© 2016 Cengage Learning, Cengage LearningChapter Review
Summary
Section 1.1 Biology is the scientific study of life. We know about only a fraction of the organisms that live on Earth, in part because we have explored only a fraction of its inhabited regions.
Section 1.2 Biologists think about life at different levels of organization, with new properties emerging at successively higher levels. All matter consists of atoms, which bond together to form molecules. Organisms are individuals that consist of one or more cells, the organizational level at which life emerges. A population is a group of interbreeding individuals of a species in a given area; a community is all populations of all species in a given area. An ecosystem is a community interacting with its environment. The biosphere includes all regions of Earth that hold life.
Section 1.3 Life has underlying unity in that all living things have similar characteristics:
1. All organisms require energy and nutrients to sustain themselves. Producers harvest energy from the environment to make their own food by processes such as photosynthesis; consumers ingest other organisms, or their wastes or remains.
2. Organisms keep the conditions in their internal environment within ranges that their cells tolerate—a process called homeostasis.
3. DNA contains information that guides an organism’s growth, development, and reproduction.
The passage of DNA from parents to offspring is inheritance.
Section 1.4 The many types of organisms that currently exist on Earth differ greatly in details of body form and function. Biodiversity is the sum of differences among living things. Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotes, single-celled organisms whose DNA is not contained within a nucleus. The DNA of single-celled or multicelled eukaryotes (protists, plants, fungi, and animals) is contained within a nucleus.
Each species has a two-part name. The first part is the genus name. When combined with the specific epithet, it designates the particular species. With taxonomy, species are ranked into ever more inclusive taxa on the basis of shared traits.
Section 1.5 Critical thinking, the self-directed act of judging the quality of information as one learns, is an important part of science. Generally, a researcher observes something in nature, forms a hypothesis (testable explanation) for it, then makes a prediction about what might occur if the hypothesis is correct. Predictions are tested with observations, experiments, or both. Experiments typically are performed on an experimental group as compared with a control group, and sometimes on model systems. Conclusions are drawn from data. A hypothesis that is not consistent with data is modified or discarded. The scientific method consists of making, testing, and evaluating hypotheses, and sharing results with the scientific community.
Biological systems are usually i ...

Unit IV Case StudyThe relationship between an agency and the media.docx
Unit IV Case Study
The relationship between an agency and the media is important to ensure that a strong flow of information is maintained
during a crisis. However, an agency must maintain control over the information released and the methods used to provide
a consistent and effective message. This is important in ensuring that the public maintains their trust and faith in the
agency. One of the best ways to make sure this occurs is through a strong standard operating procedure that focuses on
information release and media relations.
Develop a two- to three-page standard operating procedure regarding media interaction and information sharing. At a
minimum, ensure that the following items are addressed in a professional manner (not just bulleted items):
1. Who will serve as the public information officer? Address any secondary points of contact.
2. What information can and cannot be released? Consider the implications of HIPAA and potential ongoing
investigations.
3. What methods of media will be used? If social media is used, what information will be shared and who is
responsible for the content?

Assigned Case Study Problem:
You will create a case study for a microbial infection selected from the current pathogen list. Your case
study will be assembled using a detailed rubric (see below). Upon completion, you will submit your
case study to the Blackboard gradebook in Unit 5 and to SafeAssign.
How to create a case study
The case studies are meant to be an enjoyable, interesting, and informative assignment. This is your
chance to show that you understand the key teaching points about a microbe and to communicate
these points in a written format.
What information belongs in my case study?
Have at least 3-4 key referenced points in each of the five areas shown in the Case Study Information
Chart (see below). The left-hand heading in the chart suggests the type of information requested for the
pathogen. Outlines can be in whatever form you prefer (bullets/charts/outlines/diagrams or a mix). Be
sure to include two discussion questions (and provide complete answers) that you can incorporate
into your case study (place them at the end of your write-up). These questions should help connect your
case to other material in the course. For example, what other microbes have an A-B toxin? What other
viruses are transmitted by fecal-oral spread?
How much information should I provide for my case study?
For the Case Study, you are asked to provide at least the information requested in the chart below. The
boxed questions are suggestions for the minimum amount of information within each category. The
more detailed the information, the better the study. You may consult your textbook, CDC, WHO, Access
Medicine, Google Scholar, NCBI, WebMD, etc. to find the information. For example, if you perform a
Google search using the name of the pathogen and the word ‘vaccine’, you will find information on
current vaccines (if any), those in clinical trials, vaccines used only in animals, etc.
Case Study Information Chart
Typical Case What does a typical case look like? Use the standard format for a
patient presentation with chief complaint (CC), history of present illness
(HPI), key physical exam details (PE), lab findings, signature signs, and
any other important findings.
Description of the infectious
agent
If it is a bacterium, how is it classified? If it is a virus, what kind of
nucleic acid does it have? Does it target specific cellular types
(tropism)? Does it form a spore? Is it aerobic? Is it intracellular? Can it
only be grown in a specific type of media? How is it distinguished from
other members of the species? Does the pathogen have a significant
history with humans or animals?
Epidemiology What do you feel are the most important points about the
epidemiology of the disease? Incidence? Portal of entry? Source? Is it a
normal microb.
Please write an essay in which you first clearly identify a single m.docx
Please write an essay in which you first clearly identify a single major achievement in Epidemiology (e.g., Smallpox, HIV/AIDS, Tobacco Use, Cholera).

Chapter 1: Invitation to Biology Chapter Review
Book Title: Biology Today and Tomorrow with Physiology
© 2016 Cengage Learning, Cengage LearningChapter Review
Summary
Section 1.1 Biology is the scientific study of life. We know about only a fraction of the organisms that live on Earth, in part because we have explored only a fraction of its inhabited regions.
Section 1.2 Biologists think about life at different levels of organization, with new properties emerging at successively higher levels. All matter consists of atoms, which bond together to form molecules. Organisms are individuals that consist of one or more cells, the organizational level at which life emerges. A population is a group of interbreeding individuals of a species in a given area; a community is all populations of all species in a given area. An ecosystem is a community interacting with its environment. The biosphere includes all regions of Earth that hold life.
Section 1.3 Life has underlying unity in that all living things have similar characteristics:
1. All organisms require energy and nutrients to sustain themselves. Producers harvest energy from the environment to make their own food by processes such as photosynthesis; consumers ingest other organisms, or their wastes or remains.
2. Organisms keep the conditions in their internal environment within ranges that their cells tolerate—a process called homeostasis.
3. DNA contains information that guides an organism’s growth, development, and reproduction.
The passage of DNA from parents to offspring is inheritance.
Section 1.4 The many types of organisms that currently exist on Earth differ greatly in details of body form and function. Biodiversity is the sum of differences among living things. Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotes, single-celled organisms whose DNA is not contained within a nucleus. The DNA of single-celled or multicelled eukaryotes (protists, plants, fungi, and animals) is contained within a nucleus.
Each species has a two-part name. The first part is the genus name. When combined with the specific epithet, it designates the particular species. With taxonomy, species are ranked into ever more inclusive taxa on the basis of shared traits.
Section 1.5 Critical thinking, the self-directed act of judging the quality of information as one learns, is an important part of science. Generally, a researcher observes something in nature, forms a hypothesis (testable explanation) for it, then makes a prediction about what might occur if the hypothesis is correct. Predictions are tested with observations, experiments, or both. Experiments typically are performed on an experimental group as compared with a control group, and sometimes on model systems. Conclusions are drawn from data. A hypothesis that is not consistent with data is modified or discarded. The scientific method consists of making, testing, and evaluating hypotheses, and sharing results with the scientific community.
Biological systems are usually i ...

Unit IV Case StudyThe relationship between an agency and the media.docx
Unit IV Case Study
The relationship between an agency and the media is important to ensure that a strong flow of information is maintained
during a crisis. However, an agency must maintain control over the information released and the methods used to provide
a consistent and effective message. This is important in ensuring that the public maintains their trust and faith in the
agency. One of the best ways to make sure this occurs is through a strong standard operating procedure that focuses on
information release and media relations.
Develop a two- to three-page standard operating procedure regarding media interaction and information sharing. At a
minimum, ensure that the following items are addressed in a professional manner (not just bulleted items):
1. Who will serve as the public information officer? Address any secondary points of contact.
2. What information can and cannot be released? Consider the implications of HIPAA and potential ongoing
investigations.
3. What methods of media will be used? If social media is used, what information will be shared and who is
responsible for the content?

Unit II Reflection PaperReligious Ceremony ObservanceY.docx
Unit II Reflection Paper
Religious Ceremony Observance
Your task in this assignment is to observe a religious ceremony (any ritual, festival, or worship) and write a reflective paper about that experience.
You may observe a ceremony of a different denomination or sect of your religion as long as the ceremony is different in some way from what you are used to. For instance, if you are Roman Catholic, you can observe a Pentecostal worship service, as the liturgy is vastly different.
This assignment is about observation, not participation. You may observe a ceremony in video form, if necessary, but it is better to witness the ceremony first hand so that you may use all of your senses to describe the event.
Reflective Writing
Reflective writing is very similar to journal writing, but there is less focus on you as the writer, and more focus on the event and an academic reflection of that event. You are more likely to use readings from the course or other outside sources to support your analysis of the event.
Reflective writing consists of two main parts: a description and a reflection. The writer must first describe the event or situation that is the topic of the writing. The description should be objective—facts and detailed observations. Then the writer reflects on the experience with personal feelings and opinions, followed by an analysis of those feelings.
What is the point of reflective writing in an academic setting? Reflective writing helps you examine why you think the way you do and thereby provides a learning experience. By careful analysis of the facts of an event or situation, and then the same careful analysis of your own preconceived ideas and whether they are strengthened or changed by the experience, you will be able to gather and observe practical and personal evidence to support or challenge what might be an abstract idea in your profession or in the area of academics being studied.
This is one of the few times in academic writing when it is appropriate to write in the first person.

Unit II Essay
For this homework assignment, you will be asked to put yourself in the role of an investigative reporter for a nationally published magazine. Crime rates in the United States are a hot topic recently, and your magazine has assigned you to be the lead reporter for a report on procedures being put into place within the field of corrections, specifically those involving diversion and probation.
Your editor has designated this as the cover story and featured article within the magazine, and has asked that you be sure to include the following in your report:
1. Describe diversion and probation and what they involve; include how they are alike, and how they differ.
2. Examine and briefly describe the original concept and evolution of each within the United States.
3. Explain how diversion and probation have been used within the field of corrections.
4. Based on research you discover, analyze the pros and cons to using diversion and probation. Are there different pros and cons to using them for different types of offenders?
5. How does the use of diversion and/or probation impact the recidivism rate, if at all? Is either tactic, or both, more effective with certain types of offenders?
6. Finally, examine the work of a probation officer. Provide supporting evidence that the work of a probation officer helps reduce the crime rate. Conclude with the dangers that they face in their line of work, specifically citing one researched incident since 2013, and examine ways that could help improve the environment a probation officer is a part of.
Your response must be a minimum of two pages, double spaced, and in 12 point Times New Roman font. You are required to use at least one outside source, which does not include the textbook. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA citations.

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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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.
