Two Types of Data for Constructing Trees There are two major different.docx
Two Types of Data for Constructing Trees There are two major different types of data that can be used to construct phylogenetic trees. One type of data is morphological character data. Using this approach, trees are constructed based on the similarities in morphology that organisms share with each other. For instance, conceptually you would group humans and chimps together because they share many morphological features, and then you would place gorillas outside of this group, because gorillas share fewer features than humans and chimps. Another major type of data is DNA sequence data. A. Morphological Character-Based Parsimony Trees Create a matrix of characters, listing characters possessed by each organism (where 0 = ab se n t and 1 = present for each character). We can then identify organisms with similar characters and build a tree using the data presented in the matrix. Definitions: Chordate = has a spinal column with nerves Tetrapods = has four legs Amniotes = has an additional sac around the Diapsid condition with Synapsid condition with embryo (Amniotic Egg) Single Jaw Bone = mammals have one continuous jaw bone, but many other chordates have multiple bones in Modified from Kardong, 1998 their jaws (like 5 or 6 ). Diapsids = have two holes on the side of their head (see figure above). Humans, and many other chordates, have only one hole in the side of our head (you can feel it on your temple when you chew): 6) Look at the Character \#8 (warm blooded). Redraw your tree exactly as you drew it above, but add character #8 to the tree. Is there more than one possibility with how character \#8 is mapped on the tree? What explanation do you have for this evolutionary pattern? Remember that constructing trees is an inference process, so there may be several explanations for the observed evolutionary pattern. (hint: think of loss and/or gain of characters mapped on the tree) (10 pts.) 1) Build a tree using characters 1 through 7 , but don't use Character \#8 (warm blooded) just yet. Map characters 1-7 on your tree (similar to Fig 4.15 in textbook). (hint: identify characters that organisms share. Shared characters allow you to group taxa into nested sets. See section 4.3 in textbook) (10 pts.)

Title- Economic Evaluation of a Patient-Directed Music Intervention fo.docx
Title: Economic Evaluation of a Patient-Directed Music Intervention for ICU Patients Receiving Mechanical Ventilatory Support
Objectives : Music intervention has been shown to reduce anxiety and sedative exposure among mechanically ventilated patients. Whether music intervention reduces ICU costs is not known. The aim of this study was to examine ICU costs for patients receiving a patient-directed music intervention compared with patients who received usual ICU care.
Design : A cost-effectiveness analysis from the hospital perspective was conducted to determine if patient-directed music intervention was cost-effective in improving patient-reported anxiety. Cost savings were also evaluated. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses determined the influence of input variation on the cost-effectiveness.
Setting : Midwestern ICUs.
Patients : Adult ICU patients from a parent clinical trial receiving mechanical ventilatory support.
Interventions : Patients receiving the experimental patient-directed music intervention received a MP3 player, noise-canceling headphones, and music tailored to individual preferences by a music therapist.
Measurements and Main Results : The base case cost-effectiveness analysis estimated patient-directed music intervention reduced anxiety by 19 points on the Visual Analogue Scale-Anxiety with a reduction in cost of $2,322/patient compared with usual ICU care, resulting in patient-directed music dominance (Table 1). The probabilistic cost-effectiveness analysis found that average patient-directed music intervention costs were $2,155 less than usual ICU care and projected that cost saving is achieved in 70% of 1,000 iterations. Based on break-even analyses, cost saving is achieved if the per-patient cost of patient-directed music intervention remains below $2,651, a value eight times the base case of $329.
Conclusions : Patient-directed music intervention is cost-effective for reducing anxiety in mechanically ventilated ICU patients.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

Title: Economic Evaluation of a Patient-Directed Music Intervention for ICU Patients Receiving Mechanical Ventilatory Support
Objectives : Music intervention has been shown to reduce anxiety and sedative exposure among mechanically ventilated patients. Whether music intervention reduces ICU costs is not known. The aim of this study was to examine ICU costs for patients receiving a patient-directed music intervention compared with patients who received usual ICU care.
Design : A cost-effectiveness analysis from the hospital perspective was conducted to determine if patient-directed music intervention was cost-effective in improving patient-reported anxiety. Cost savings were also evaluated. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses determined the influence of input variation on the cost-effectiveness.
Setting : Midwestern ICUs.
Patients : Adult ICU patients from a parent clinical trial receiving mechanical ventilatory support.
Interventions : Patients receiving the experimental patient-directed music intervention received a MP3 player, noise-canceling headphones, and music tailored to individual preferences by a music therapist.
Measurements and Main Results : The base case cost-effectiveness analysis estimated patient-directed music intervention reduced anxiety by 19 points on the Visual Analogue Scale-Anxiety with a reduction in cost of $2,322/patient compared with usual ICU care, resulting in patient-directed music dominance (Table 1). The probabilistic cost-effectiveness analysis found that average patient-directed music intervention costs were $2,155 less than usual ICU care and projected that cost saving is achieved in 70% of 1,000 iterations. Based on break-even analyses, cost saving is achieved if the per-patient cost of patient-directed music intervention remains below $2,651, a value eight times the base case of $329.
Conclusions : Patient-directed music intervention is cost-effective for reducing anxiety in mechanically ventilated ICU patients.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
