Singer argues that there is no moral justification for denying moral consideration to animals. Can you think of a good moral reason why our moral consideration should include all humans, even those without the ability to reason yet denied to all non-human animals (some of whom have that ability)? What response might he have to your way of drawing the line between the types of beings that should get moral consideration and those that should not? .

Understanding the
Motivational Contingencies
of Team Leadership
D. Scott DeRue1, Christopher M. Barnes2,
and Frederick P. Morgeson3
Abstract
Despite increased research on team leadership, little is known about the
conditions under which coaching versus directive forms of team leader-
ship are more effective, or the processes through which team leadership
styles influence team outcomes. In the present study, the authors found that
coaching leadership was more effective than directive leadership when the
team leader was highly charismatic and less effective than directive leader-
ship when the team leader lacked charisma. Directive leadership was more
effective than coaching leadership when team members were high in
self-efficacy and less effective than coaching leadership when team members
lacked self-efficacy. The moderating effects of leader charisma and team
member self-efficacy were mediated through motivational pathways involving
team member effort.
Keywords
teams, leadership, motivation
A growing body of research highlights how important leader behaviors are
for team performance (DeRue, Nahrgang, Wellman, & Humphrey, in press;
622 Small Group Research 41(5)
Druskat & Wheeler, 2003; Durham, Knight, & Locke, 1997). In fact, Zaccaro,
Rittman, and Marks (2001) suggest that effective leadership is one of the
more important factors in the success of organizational teams. Yet at the same
time, we still have a limited understanding of how leaders create and manage
effective teams (Burke et al., 2006; Kozlowski, Gully, Salas, & Cannon-
Bowers, 1996; Zaccaro et al., 2001).
Research indicates that team leaders engage in a variety of behaviors
aimed at facilitating team functioning and performance (Morgeson, DeRue,
& Karam, 2010). One approach involves encouraging the team to manage its
own affairs and developing the team’s capacity to function effectively with-
out direct intervention from the team leader. First identified by Manz and
Sims (1987), and later analyzed by many other scholars (e.g., Hackman &
Wageman, 2005; Morgeson, 2005; Wageman, 2001), this form of leadership
focuses on coaching the team and empowering its self-management. This
coaching form of leadership is particularly important given that team leaders
are sometimes external to a team and not involved in its daily task activities.
Using in-depth interviews and survey-based research, Manz and Sims found
that team leaders who encourag.
Small mistakes are the steppingstones to large failures. How mig.docx
Small mistakes can often lead to larger failures or consequences as described in the saying. For example, a pilot's small mistake of missing important checklist items before takeoff resulted in an airplane crash that killed everyone on board due to the ensuing systems failure. While small errors may seem insignificant, they can sometimes snowball into much worse outcomes, as shown in this real-world tragedy.

Small Group Lesson
I am highly satisfied with the lesson plan, particularly because it yielded the desired results proving that it was carefully crafted right from the beginning. My goal at the end of the lesson was to offer a good learning experience to the learners, and I achieved that. I was able to put into perspective all the factors which played a huge role in influencing the learning outcomes of the learners in the small group. I executed the lesson plan effectively. I engaged the learners and strengthened their understanding of the course content. By sharing the lesson plan with the learners through highlighting a visible agenda on the board about what they will be learning and doing during class time, I was able to keep them on track. I made a conscious effort to maintain eye contact in class, and this enhanced the involvement of the learners with the course content. I conveyed the content and instructions in a clear and specific manner so that the learners with poor listening comprehension were not left behind.
When attempting to put a point across in class, I ensured that my voice was loud enough and clear. This, coupled with the developed rules and regulations, enabled me to successfully maintain a degree of order and control in the class, and fully grasped the attention of the learners. Using relevant examples and analogies to demonstrate the mathematical concepts was successful as the learners were able to understand the topic more. I also succeeded in building a rapport with the learners thanks to the warm and friendly class atmosphere that I created. Additionally, I was successful in time management. I did not run out of time as all that I had planned to cover was completed within the stipulated timeline. Using a collaborative approach for teaching also succeeded in boosting involvement among all the learners. In regard to the improvements, apart from winding up the lesson by simply summarizing the main points learned, it would be a good idea to conclude by also previewing the next lesson. This means briefly striking a connection between the finished concept and the next coming concept. A combination of summarizing and previewing would spur the interest of the learners in the coming lesson and enable them to connect the various ideas within a much larger context.
The other improvement would have been establishing strategies to obtain learners’ feedback in order to gather insight into any shortcomings in my teaching technique. The lesson plan was effectively assessed since I had created several productive questions for each learning concept which I was to use to check for understa.

Small Group Discussion Guiding Principles
The ideas and beliefs underpinning the small group discussions (GDs) guide students through engaging dialogues as they achieve the desired learning outcomes/competencies associated with their course in a manner that empowers them to organize, integrate, apply and critically appraise their knowledge to their selected field of practice. The use of GDs provides students with opportunities to contribute level-appropriate knowledge and experience to the topic in a safe, caring, and fluid environment that models professional and social interaction. The GD’s ebb and flow is based upon the composition of student and faculty interaction in the quest for relevant scholarship. Participation in the GDs generates opportunities for students to actively engage in the written ideas of others by carefully reading, researching, reflecting, and responding to the contributions of their peers and course faculty. GDs foster the development of members into a community of learners as they share ideas and inquiries, consider perspectives that may be different from their own, and integrate knowledge from other disciplines.
Participation Guidelines
Each weekly group discussion is worth a maximum of 50 points. Students must post a minimum of four times in each discussion. One of these posts must be a summary of learning for the week. The initial response to the discussion prompt must be posted by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. MT, of each week. Each of the subsequent posts must occur on days following the initial response. The final posting deadline for all subsequent posts is by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT of each week. For week 8 only, subsequent posts must occur by the Saturday deadline-11:59 pm MT. If the student does not meet the Wednesday posting deadline for the initial posting, a late penalty is applied of 5 points. Not meeting the requirements for subsequent postings, either in number or deadline, will result in a loss of 5 points.
Group Discussion Responses
Small group discussions provide the opportunity for deep exploration and new knowledge discovery of course topics. This type of exploration requires synthesis of various sources of information. Responses in group discussions should be substantive, reflect the student’s personal position on the topic, thoroughly address the information being asked for by the prompt, and include insights based on others’ postings. Direct quotes in group discussions should be a rare occurrence. These are to be limited to one short quotation (not to exceed 15 words). The quote must add substantively to the discussion. Points will be deducted under Scholarliness and/or Course Knowledge rubric categories.

You are tasked to create a marketing ad and social media campaign for a nonprofit you choose. Visit the nonprofit website to understand their purpose and align the ad campaign you create.
Choose one of the following charities on the website to build a social media ad campaign.
https://charity.lovetoknow.com/Top_100_Charities
The below items are to be turned in on Blackboard in a Word document. Each student is responsible for submitting their own unique work. Check SafeAssign at submission for plagiarism; unintentional plagiarism is still plagiarism.
Ad Content
1) Ad/image that can standalone (if posted on a social media platform in smartphone or desktop view). Ad should be unambiguously clear, easy to read within moments, and eye-catching. Content needs to be accurate, informative, and convincing to change behavior.
Include the name of the charity and method to connect with existing platforms.
Written responses describing the ad campaign
Written work: 2-3 pages, 1-inch margins 12-point Times New Roman/Arial font, double spaced. Be specific with details, use examples, and thoroughly explain your reasoning. The written work should articulate your knowledge about social media strategy, marketing mix, research measures, and other materials covered throughout this course. Demonstrate your understanding of course materials by writing about these topics.
2) Describe what is the content in the ad (e.g. Call to Action (CTA) hashtag, information guide, change behavior, draw clicks to website)? Be specific. Restating these examples is insufficient.
3) What is the name of the ad campaign? What is this social media ad campaign trying to do? Thoroughly explain your reasoning and be specific.
4) What is the method for releasing on social media (e.g. platform, timing, target market, length of campaign)? Elaborating and be specific with details.
5) What are the measures for success (e.g. how many likes/comments/shares)? State specific goals and figures that would indicate if the campaign was successful.

Week 6 – Draft Research Paper

Abstract
It is indeed true that proper management of small businesses can offer protection from liability. Liability refers to the situation of being responsible for a particular act. A business is liable financially and legally. Proper liability risk management protects small businesses. The paper discusses several ways in which adequate management of liability risks can help in protecting small businesses against liabilities such as financial liabilities and legal liabilities. Proper procurement, cost, and change management also protect small businesses against liabilities.
How Proper Management of a Small Business Can Provide Protection from Liability
Operating a business can be fun, profitable, and challenging. However, the owner of a small business is legally liable hence can get sued. A lawsuit can be costly, emotionally draining, and time-consuming. For many small businesses, accusations associated with pending lawsuits can seriously damage their reputation. Civil suits against companies have increased by over 300% in the past two decades. Owners of small businesses need to protect themselves from huge expenses and devastating results resulting from unfavorable decisions in court. Many owners of small businesses fear to incur losses if a particular individual sues them. This is mainly for business owners who finance their companies using their capital. Liability comes in the form of financial liability and legal liability. These forms of liability have significant impacts on small businesses. There are several ways in which small business owners can go about limiting the possibility of legal liabilities to ensure the continuity of a business. They include purchasing specific types of insurance covers and transforming the business into a limited liability company or corporation (LLC) (Gupta, 2019). These ways will help safeguard small companies against liability. However, one significant way in which small business owners can protect their businesses from liability is to ensure that various aspects of a business are properly managed. This paper examines how proper management of small companies can offer protection from liability.
Getting to Understand the Business Liability
Liability refers to the situation of being responsible for a particular act (Mancuso, 2019). A business is liable financially and legally (Mancuso, 2019). Any business is financially liable since there are some liabilities, such as payable debts. For instance, if a business applies for a loan, the outstanding loan balance will be regarded as a liability. This is because the business is responsible and obli.

Small Business Consulting Report
I. INTRODUCTION In this small consulting report, we will be analyzing the company WOSH to determine its strengths, weaknesses and possible solutions to all of its operational problems which can be addressed from a consulting perspective. We will provide an in depth report which will outline the approach we feel should be deemed best for the company to follow to gain success in their industry. In this report we will not present a financial analysis of the company due to the fact that the company’s owner has decided the information is too confidential to share with anyone, but himself and his personal financial team at this moment. We will instead focus on the other aspects of the business which can be fully analyzed and possibly improved upon. In our report we will be looking directly into many aspects of the company’s current operations. We will begin by analyzing the company’s background. We will look briefly at when and where it was founded, who founded it, what their mission statement is, what their ultimate goal is in terms of expansion and what are their primary products or services they offer. We will then take a brief look at what the company’s structure is like. We will do this in order to try to later determine where all decisions are made and by who and which level in the company has the most influence on how effectively the company is run. This can be very important when analyzing how a firm conducts day-to day operations. We will then take a look at all aspects of the company separately to try to find problems in the company’s operations. We will first take a look at the company’s current management approach, which refers to the way current management is handling all assets and employees which can be either loosely or closely managed. We will try to determine if all assets are being put to the best use possible with their approach or if a different approach is needed. We will also be looking into the company’s current marketing strategy and we will try to determine why they have chosen that specific strategy. In addition, we will determine whether or not this chosen strategy is the best fit for the company or if a different strategy approach may serve the company better and more effectively. Next we will look at the company’s current target market and we will determine if it is in fact the current target market the company is attracting. If it is not, then we will try to analyze why this is happening or even try to evaluate if they are even reaching those who they want and need to reach. Additionally, we will also take a look at how regular customers and businesses customers feel about the company. Talking to regular customers and business customers will help us determine their level of satisfaction and also to determine whether the company has any competitive advantages which helps distinguish it from competition. We will then evaluate if these advantages could possibly can be.

SLP- IT Governance Dashboards, which display data using graphi.docx
SLP- IT Governance
Dashboards, which display data using graphics, have become commonplace. They are used for many applications, such as showing voter turnout in different states during national elections. The first informational dashboards were used in early automobiles and featured gauges to indicate speed and mileage. Current automobile dashboards have become digital and can tell us much more about car performance than just miles per hour and distance traveled.
The dashboard concept is now used to render large amounts of data into a form that can be easily interpreted. Often, dashboards are interactive to allow the user to change some of the data inputs and displays. The Web now abounds in dashboards. The news media (CNN, MSNBC, etc.) are big on them.
The following dashboard was powered by live election results in the 2016 presidential election: www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president
Describe another website (not about elections) that provides an example of a dashboard that can be used in Business Intelligence or in other areas to inform the viewer. Describe the data in the dashboard and discuss how the information is provided in the dashboard.
SLP Assignment Expectations
Provide a link to a digital dashboard used for Business Intelligence. Provide details on how the digital dashboard is used and your impression of the effectiveness of the dashboard. This should take 2 to 3 pages.

León’s First Queen
Alfonso VI married his daughter to
Alfonso I of Aragon.
Urraca was already a widow, with a
legitimate son (and heir) born in 1104
named… Alfonso.
Ruled the kingdom from
1109-1126.
Incest makes the world go round
The marriage of Urraca and Alfonso of Aragon was a violation of canon (Church) law, which forbid relations between third (or closer) cousins.
Both Urraca and Alfonso were great-grandchildren of Sancho the Great, and were thus cousins.
Such marriages were considered consanguineous, meaning the partners “shared blood”.
What is more important… political expediency or Church approval?
Unhappy Marriage
Political expediency doesn’t work… no kids.
Urraca said Alfonso beat her, and she used this as grounds for separation.
Alfonso said Urraca was an adulteress, and blamed her scandalous sexuality on her polygamous father.
Urraca as Queen
Alfonso el Batallador
King of Aragon from 1104-1134
Conquered Zaragoza in 1118, more than doubling the size of Aragon.
Military man, uninterested in family
life. After Urraca died, he remarried,
but never produced an heir.
Fascination with the crusade.

Limit sinful activity (murder, violence, etc)
Church councils began placing restrictions on combat, forbidding fighting on Sundays, holidays (Holy Days), and anywhere near churches.
Spiritual sanctions were used to enforce this– excommunication.
The Reform movement in Iberia
Cluniac monasteries
Cluniac bishops: Toledo, Valencia
Around 1100 the Kingdom of León abandoned its traditional mass (known as the Mozarabic mass) in favor of the Roman mass, on Alfonso VI’s orders.
Beginning in the eleventh century, the papacy began taking greater interest in Iberian affairs… for example, condemning the incestual marriage of Urraca and Alfonso of Aragon.
Gregory VII
Pope 1073-1085
Aggressively promoted the rights of the Church over secular rulers– he excommunicated the Holy Roman Emperor (King of Germany)
Imagined harnessing the power of a united Christendom, under papal control, which could do all sorts of great things, like conquer the Holy Land!
The Holy Land
Pilgrimage destination since the days of Constantine… Visit the sites of the Bible.
Pilgrimage was very popular in the elventh century… most people visited local holy sites, but the ambitious (or wealthy) might travel to Rome, Santiago or even Jerusalem

Study objectives: Our study explored if bedtimes influenced school performance and motivation, as well
as the odds ratio (OR) for health-related concerns in adolescents.
Methods: The School Health Promotion Study was based on an anonymous self-report questionnaire con-
ducted in 90% of the municipalities in Finland. The study was conducted during 2008 and 2010 in South-
ern Finland, Eastern Finland, and Lapland, and during 2009 and 2011 in Western Finland, Northern
Finland, and Åland. Several indicators were used to measure school performance and motivation. Acci-
dents and health-related complaints, such as depressive symptoms, sleep quality, neck or shoulder pains,
lower back pains, stomachaches, anxiety or nervousness, irritation or tantrums, headaches, and tiredness
or dizziness were analyzed in relation to the usual bedtime. Our study had a relatively large sample size
(N = 384,076), consisting of students in the eighth and the ninth grades of secondary schools and the first
and the second grades of upper secondary and vocational schools (ages 14–20 years) in Finland.
Results: All of the various indicators used to assess school performance and motivation suggest that the
later the bedtime of adolescents, the lower their school performance and their motivation. Similarly later
bedtimes increase the OR for depressive symptoms and other negative health consequences in adoles-
cents as well as a tendency towards accidents. All of these problems were emphasized in students with
bedtimes of 11:30 PM and later.
Conclusions: Late bedtimes, especially those after 11:30 PM, indicate poor sleep w.

The document discusses intentional teaching and how some teachers purposefully create ways to foster learning and meet student needs, while others do not embrace students with exceptionalities or diverse needs. It also discusses the unethical treatment of individuals with disabilities throughout history, like the Nazi phrase "life unworthy of life," and why laws have been created to promote ethical practices and effective learning for all. Educators must understand this history, analyze it biblically, and determine how to nurture and educate students with diverse needs.
Sleep & MemoryReviewSleep, dreams, and memory consolidati.docx
The document discusses the relationship between sleep, dreams, and memory consolidation. It proposes that dream content reflects aspects of memory consolidation taking place during different sleep stages. Specifically, it hypothesizes that variations in the stress hormone cortisol across the night determine whether brain circuits support consolidation of episodic memories (seen in early sleep dreams) or procedural memories (seen in late sleep dreams). High cortisol in late sleep is proposed to disrupt hippocampal-cortical communication and integration of episodic details in dreams.

Week 6 – Draft Research Paper

Abstract
It is indeed true that proper management of small businesses can offer protection from liability. Liability refers to the situation of being responsible for a particular act. A business is liable financially and legally. Proper liability risk management protects small businesses. The paper discusses several ways in which adequate management of liability risks can help in protecting small businesses against liabilities such as financial liabilities and legal liabilities. Proper procurement, cost, and change management also protect small businesses against liabilities.
How Proper Management of a Small Business Can Provide Protection from Liability
Operating a business can be fun, profitable, and challenging. However, the owner of a small business is legally liable hence can get sued. A lawsuit can be costly, emotionally draining, and time-consuming. For many small businesses, accusations associated with pending lawsuits can seriously damage their reputation. Civil suits against companies have increased by over 300% in the past two decades. Owners of small businesses need to protect themselves from huge expenses and devastating results resulting from unfavorable decisions in court. Many owners of small businesses fear to incur losses if a particular individual sues them. This is mainly for business owners who finance their companies using their capital. Liability comes in the form of financial liability and legal liability. These forms of liability have significant impacts on small businesses. There are several ways in which small business owners can go about limiting the possibility of legal liabilities to ensure the continuity of a business. They include purchasing specific types of insurance covers and transforming the business into a limited liability company or corporation (LLC) (Gupta, 2019). These ways will help safeguard small companies against liability. However, one significant way in which small business owners can protect their businesses from liability is to ensure that various aspects of a business are properly managed. This paper examines how proper management of small companies can offer protection from liability.
Getting to Understand the Business Liability
Liability refers to the situation of being responsible for a particular act (Mancuso, 2019). A business is liable financially and legally (Mancuso, 2019). Any business is financially liable since there are some liabilities, such as payable debts. For instance, if a business applies for a loan, the outstanding loan balance will be regarded as a liability. This is because the business is responsible and obli.

Small Business Consulting Report
I. INTRODUCTION In this small consulting report, we will be analyzing the company WOSH to determine its strengths, weaknesses and possible solutions to all of its operational problems which can be addressed from a consulting perspective. We will provide an in depth report which will outline the approach we feel should be deemed best for the company to follow to gain success in their industry. In this report we will not present a financial analysis of the company due to the fact that the company’s owner has decided the information is too confidential to share with anyone, but himself and his personal financial team at this moment. We will instead focus on the other aspects of the business which can be fully analyzed and possibly improved upon. In our report we will be looking directly into many aspects of the company’s current operations. We will begin by analyzing the company’s background. We will look briefly at when and where it was founded, who founded it, what their mission statement is, what their ultimate goal is in terms of expansion and what are their primary products or services they offer. We will then take a brief look at what the company’s structure is like. We will do this in order to try to later determine where all decisions are made and by who and which level in the company has the most influence on how effectively the company is run. This can be very important when analyzing how a firm conducts day-to day operations. We will then take a look at all aspects of the company separately to try to find problems in the company’s operations. We will first take a look at the company’s current management approach, which refers to the way current management is handling all assets and employees which can be either loosely or closely managed. We will try to determine if all assets are being put to the best use possible with their approach or if a different approach is needed. We will also be looking into the company’s current marketing strategy and we will try to determine why they have chosen that specific strategy. In addition, we will determine whether or not this chosen strategy is the best fit for the company or if a different strategy approach may serve the company better and more effectively. Next we will look at the company’s current target market and we will determine if it is in fact the current target market the company is attracting. If it is not, then we will try to analyze why this is happening or even try to evaluate if they are even reaching those who they want and need to reach. Additionally, we will also take a look at how regular customers and businesses customers feel about the company. Talking to regular customers and business customers will help us determine their level of satisfaction and also to determine whether the company has any competitive advantages which helps distinguish it from competition. We will then evaluate if these advantages could possibly can be.

SLP- IT Governance Dashboards, which display data using graphi.docx
SLP- IT Governance
Dashboards, which display data using graphics, have become commonplace. They are used for many applications, such as showing voter turnout in different states during national elections. The first informational dashboards were used in early automobiles and featured gauges to indicate speed and mileage. Current automobile dashboards have become digital and can tell us much more about car performance than just miles per hour and distance traveled.
The dashboard concept is now used to render large amounts of data into a form that can be easily interpreted. Often, dashboards are interactive to allow the user to change some of the data inputs and displays. The Web now abounds in dashboards. The news media (CNN, MSNBC, etc.) are big on them.
The following dashboard was powered by live election results in the 2016 presidential election: www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president
Describe another website (not about elections) that provides an example of a dashboard that can be used in Business Intelligence or in other areas to inform the viewer. Describe the data in the dashboard and discuss how the information is provided in the dashboard.
SLP Assignment Expectations
Provide a link to a digital dashboard used for Business Intelligence. Provide details on how the digital dashboard is used and your impression of the effectiveness of the dashboard. This should take 2 to 3 pages.

León’s First Queen
Alfonso VI married his daughter to
Alfonso I of Aragon.
Urraca was already a widow, with a
legitimate son (and heir) born in 1104
named… Alfonso.
Ruled the kingdom from
1109-1126.
Incest makes the world go round
The marriage of Urraca and Alfonso of Aragon was a violation of canon (Church) law, which forbid relations between third (or closer) cousins.
Both Urraca and Alfonso were great-grandchildren of Sancho the Great, and were thus cousins.
Such marriages were considered consanguineous, meaning the partners “shared blood”.
What is more important… political expediency or Church approval?
Unhappy Marriage
Political expediency doesn’t work… no kids.
Urraca said Alfonso beat her, and she used this as grounds for separation.
Alfonso said Urraca was an adulteress, and blamed her scandalous sexuality on her polygamous father.
Urraca as Queen
Alfonso el Batallador
King of Aragon from 1104-1134
Conquered Zaragoza in 1118, more than doubling the size of Aragon.
Military man, uninterested in family
life. After Urraca died, he remarried,
but never produced an heir.
Fascination with the crusade.

Church Reform in the Eleventh Century
Cluny
Monastic reform

Independence from kings and nobles
Restore the leading role of the church in society

Peace and Truce of God
Curb the bad behavior of knights, lords, the warrior aristocracy
Limit sinful activity (murder, violence, etc)
Church councils began placing restrictions on combat, forbidding fighting on Sundays, holidays (Holy Days), and anywhere near churches.
Spiritual sanctions were used to enforce this– excommunication.
The Reform movement in Iberia
Cluniac monasteries
Cluniac bishops: Toledo, Valencia
Around 1100 the Kingdom of León abandoned its traditional mass (known as the Mozarabic mass) in favor of the Roman mass, on Alfonso VI’s orders.
Beginning in the eleventh century, the papacy began taking greater interest in Iberian affairs… for example, condemning the incestual marriage of Urraca and Alfonso of Aragon.
Gregory VII
Pope 1073-1085
Aggressively promoted the rights of the Church over secular rulers– he excommunicated the Holy Roman Emperor (King of Germany)
Imagined harnessing the power of a united Christendom, under papal control, which could do all sorts of great things, like conquer the Holy Land!
The Holy Land
Pilgrimage destination since the days of Constantine… Visit the sites of the Bible.
Pilgrimage was very popular in the elventh century… most people visited local holy sites, but the ambitious (or wealthy) might travel to Rome, Santiago or even Jerusalem

The secretary of Gregory VII became Pope Urban II in 1088.

Study objectives: Our study explored if bedtimes influenced school performance and motivation, as well
as the odds ratio (OR) for health-related concerns in adolescents.
Methods: The School Health Promotion Study was based on an anonymous self-report questionnaire con-
ducted in 90% of the municipalities in Finland. The study was conducted during 2008 and 2010 in South-
ern Finland, Eastern Finland, and Lapland, and during 2009 and 2011 in Western Finland, Northern
Finland, and Åland. Several indicators were used to measure school performance and motivation. Acci-
dents and health-related complaints, such as depressive symptoms, sleep quality, neck or shoulder pains,
lower back pains, stomachaches, anxiety or nervousness, irritation or tantrums, headaches, and tiredness
or dizziness were analyzed in relation to the usual bedtime. Our study had a relatively large sample size
(N = 384,076), consisting of students in the eighth and the ninth grades of secondary schools and the first
and the second grades of upper secondary and vocational schools (ages 14–20 years) in Finland.
Results: All of the various indicators used to assess school performance and motivation suggest that the
later the bedtime of adolescents, the lower their school performance and their motivation. Similarly later
bedtimes increase the OR for depressive symptoms and other negative health consequences in adoles-
cents as well as a tendency towards accidents. All of these problems were emphasized in students with
bedtimes of 11:30 PM and later.
Conclusions: Late bedtimes, especially those after 11:30 PM, indicate poor sleep w.

The document discusses intentional teaching and how some teachers purposefully create ways to foster learning and meet student needs, while others do not embrace students with exceptionalities or diverse needs. It also discusses the unethical treatment of individuals with disabilities throughout history, like the Nazi phrase "life unworthy of life," and why laws have been created to promote ethical practices and effective learning for all. Educators must understand this history, analyze it biblically, and determine how to nurture and educate students with diverse needs.
Sleep & MemoryReviewSleep, dreams, and memory consolidati.docx
The document discusses the relationship between sleep, dreams, and memory consolidation. It proposes that dream content reflects aspects of memory consolidation taking place during different sleep stages. Specifically, it hypothesizes that variations in the stress hormone cortisol across the night determine whether brain circuits support consolidation of episodic memories (seen in early sleep dreams) or procedural memories (seen in late sleep dreams). High cortisol in late sleep is proposed to disrupt hippocampal-cortical communication and integration of episodic details in dreams.
