Discussion Board
Although this discussion is ungraded, you will need the discussion points that you put in the discussion board for evidence for the ratings that your group uses for the Report Card Pilot. This is a group discussion board. In this discussion board, you will discuss with your group 1) how the article that you have located is related to the hospitality industry/institution and diversity, equity, and inclusion (cultural pluralism), and 2) how the article supplies evidence for the ratings that your group will be recording for the hospitality industry/institution on the Report Card Pilot, and 3) a preliminary rating for the institution. REMEMBER, you are rating the institution, not the article.
You will also use this discussion board to develop your arguments and to share with your group members what you are thinking about how well, or how poorly the hospitality industry/institution is doing in the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Contribute to the discussion board as often as you like with questions, challenges, affirmations or disagreements that you may have with your group members about the hospitality industry/institution and that portion of the Report Card Pilot.
Remember to submit an article (nothing older than 2017) that will be helpful in providing a rating for this institution in the Report Card Pilot. Discuss why you believe this article will be helpful in determining a rating for this institution in the Report Card Pilot (feel free to contribute often and significantly to this discussion). Award a preliminary rating for this institution based on the information in the article that you have chosen. REMEMBER, you are rating the institution, not the article.
Remember to double-space your work.

Health Impacts of Air Pollution – Health impacts of air pollution 7
From Spr24_BIOL011_33972No unread replies.No replies.
For this assignment, each member of your group will be investigating a different cardiovascular or respiratory disease. Each person in your group should focus on a different disease, so before you write your post, check to see which diseases have been taken. You may choose to “call dibs” on your disease by making a placeholder post indicating which disease you will take.
Ischemic heart disease
Cerebrovascular disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Pneumonia
Be sure to write the answers to the following questions in your own words. Please also cite all sources fully, including in-text citations and a full reference list at the end, for full credit.
Post Requirements
This assignment requires a single post. Title your post with the name of the disease you are investigating.
Provide an overview of the disease that addresses the questions below. You may use bullet points for your response. Be sure to provide citations, where applicable.What are the key characteristics of your disease?
What organs and body systems are affected?
What are the symptoms?
List the primary risk factors for your disease.
The four graphs below show how more exposure to air pollution (X-axis) can increase the risk of dying from specific diseases (Y-axis). However, the risk of dying does not increase at a constant rate as air pollutants become more concentrated. For this question, look at the graph for your selected disease and quantify how much the risk ratio (risk of mortality; bold solid line) changes from a pollutant concentration of 0 �g/m3 to 25 �g/m3. In other words, what happens to the risk of mortality as exposure to air pollution increases? Be sure to mention specific values when describing the relationship between exposure and risk ratio. Note: Lines on the graphs were created using different common statistical methods/models to better characterize any relationship between air pollution and mortality risk. For this course, we will be focusing on the non-linear association (solid bold line) when interpreting the figure.
Figure 1: Bold solid line represents non-linear association estimated using restricted cubic spline (3 knots); dashed line represents 95% CIs for the non-linear, and dotted line represents linear association.
How does air pollution contribute to the development and/or worsening of this disease? Discuss the specific physiological changes associated with your disease and how continued exposure to air pollution can make symptoms worse. Answering this question will require you to do some outside research. Please cite all sources fully, including in-text citations, and a full reference list at the end of your post.

DESIGNING THE RULES FOR “TRUE CRIME” INVESTIGATIONS
The “True Crime” genre of bo

DESIGNING THE RULES FOR “TRUE CRIME” INVESTIGATIONS
The “True Crime” genre of books, movies, TV-shows podcasts is a multi-billion-dollar industry. Moreover, a number of “True Crime” properties have shown the ability to influence the criminal justice system (e.g., Serial, Jinx), freeing those who may be innocent and holding accountable those who may be guilty.
However, can “True Crime” also be reckless? Who decides who has the right to turn intensely private and traumatic experiences of victims of crime into a product for public consumption? How far can “True Crime” investigators go in pursuing their story? What are the consequences for story tellers (and their financial backers) if a “True Crime” story sets a guilty individual free or sends an innocent individual to prison?
In this research project you will need to consider the following question:
Are the present rules enough to deal with the “True Crime” phenomenon? And, if not, how would you modify or write new rules to rectify the current situation?
Your research project has several components:
Define “True Crime” as a phenomenon.
Identify the potential benefits and problems with “True Crime” and, if possible, illustrate with examples.
Identify current criminal and civil rules that might apply to “True Crime” investigations.
Provide an analysis of whether those rules are “enough” to hold “True Crime” investigators (and/or their backers) to account.
If the current rules are not enough, what new rules would you suggest? How would you justify them?
There are no preconceptions about how you answer this prompt. However, this project is a LIBRARY RESEARCH PAPER. Common sense may be useful in when seeking inspiration for how to analyze and ‘solve’ the problem. However, you MUST also back up your ideas and perspectives using information gathered from acceptable SCIENTIFIC SOURCES.
Remember there is also a practical element to this exercise: Your analysis and suggested new “rules” must be reasonable, meaning that somebody could conceivably put your concept into place. This means that you should consider the cost, politics, legal foundations, and ethics of your proposed analysis.
Finally, EFFORT and CREATIVITY are needed for this project. You can’t dial this one in. YOU NEED TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY TO GET A GOOD GRADE.
LIBRARY RESEARCH & ACCEPTABLE SCIENTIFIC SOURCES
You should cite relevant research from acceptable SCIENTIFIC SOURCES to support your case. SCIENTIFIC SOURCES can include peer-reviewed journal articles, law review articles, and books (that you would be able to find in the UCLA Library). That something might be an acceptable SCIENTIFIC SOURCE does NOT mean that it contains accurate or correct information. It only means that the paper has been through some form of review by peers and purports to be an honest presentation of perspectives and data.
Journal articles obtained from journals accessed through UCLA databases ISI Web of Science and J-Store are generally acceptable. Most books on the shelves of the UCLA libraries are acceptable scientific sources.
SUSPECT SOURCES
Other information from the web should be treated as a great deal of skepticism. This means information from websites such as wikepedia.org, britannica.com, joesacriminal.com, even latimes.com, etc., must be used with great care and caution.
Web pages and blogs are not peer reviewed by experts in the field and therefore they are under no obligation to use state-of-the-art theory and methods, nor are they required to be honest. In fact, it is not unreasonable to expect that blog authors are simply interested in attracting as much attention as possible. Why be careful and honest, if playing fast and loose with the facts earns you more eyeballs?
Mainstream newspapers such as the LA Times do hold themselves to a higher standard than bloggers. However, the journalistic standard is one of “confirmation” not scientific accuracy. Thus, if two or more people confirm the same outlandish story, then it is generally fit to print. If you see something in a news story that attracts your attention, you must back up the claims in that story with information from acceptable sources.
UNACCEPTABLE SOURCE
Lectures are UNACCEPTABLE as a source material for this paper. If you hear something intriguing in lecture, you must find acceptable scientific sources that back that up. Do NOT cite (Brantingham, Lecture 15)!
WARNING: I WILL DEDUCT ONE WHOLE LETTER GRADE FROM YOUR PAPER SCORE FOR EACH CITATION TO LECTURE MATERIALS.
PAPER FORMAT
Your paper MUST adhere to the following formatting guidelines:
5 page maximum, excluding references and images.
Double-spaced, 12 pt font
1” (inch) margins top, bottom, left right
Citations using APA or Chicago styles.
It is also recommended that you write your paper working from an outline. This helps you to organize your thinking and make sure you are saying all the things you want to say.
Just no AI and plagiarism pls..

The areas of provision and reimbursement of health care services have each unde

The areas of provision and reimbursement of health care services have each undergone considerable changes in the past several years, with the following current trends identified as being the most significant contributors to change:
Healthy People 2020 and Healthy People 2030 Initiatives
Bundled payment structure versus fee-for-service payment structure
Accountable care organizations (ACOs)
Technology and telemedicine
Medicare Advantage Plans
Population health management strategies
Using your employer/organization’s resources, appropriate websites, and the GCU Library as your informational foundation, research these trends and others you may find relevant, and write a 1,250- to 1,500-word essay in which you examine the following:
Which of the currently identified health care trends are already affecting your employer/organization, or an organization in your city/region in your health care field?
Which of the currently identified health care trends are specifically affecting your sector of allied health, and why?
What emerging health care trends on the horizon may affect your employer/organization and/or your specific allied health sector?

This assignment builds on the research that you did on Human Health and Physiology. For this assignment, you will be focusing on one of the health conditions that you identified in your role as a medical specialist. Select the one that you think is of greatest concern for your community (View Park, Rosemead, Florence-Graham, West Whittier, Boyle Heights).
Assignment Requirements
Part 1: Identifying Social and Environmental Risk Factors
What is the community and the health condition that you will be focusing on for this project?Note: The health condition should align with the health profession that you chose in the Human Health and Physiology assignment.
Identify all of the social and environmental risk factors from the list below that you believe are relevant to your health condition. You should have at least two for full credit (some conditions may require more than two). Then, explain how each risk factor is relevant to your health condition, including at least one in-text citation for each risk factor and a properly formatted reference list at the end.
Supermarket access – % of people in urban areas who live within a half-mile of a supermarket/large grocery store
Alcohol availability – % of people who live within ¼ mile of a store that sells alcohol
Binge drinking – % of adults who drank 5 or more alcoholic drinks (men) or 4 or more alcoholic drinks (women) at least once within the past month
Current smoker – % of adults who currently smoke
Clean air – diesel PM (kg/day) – average daily amount of particulate pollution (very small particles) from diesel sources
Clean air – PM 2.5 (µg/m³) – yearly average of fine particulate matter concentration (very small particles from vehicle tailpipes, tires and brakes, power plants, factories, burning wood, construction dust, and many other sources)
Tree canopy – % of land with tree canopy (weighted by the number of people per acre)
Park acres – # of park acres per 1,000 residents
Park access – % of the population who live within a half-mile of a park, beach, or open space greater than 1 acre
Mental health – % of adults who felt their mental health was not good during 2 or more weeks of the previous month.
No leisure time physical activity – % of people who do not exercise or participate in physical activities (outside of their regular job)
Using your answer to #2, you are now going to analyze data showing the prevalence of these risk factors in several communities. Which risk factors are of the highest concern in your community compared to other communities? Explain using the data.
Please note the units for each factor in the table below! Refer to the full descriptions above for more information about each risk factor and what measure is reported.View ParkRosemeadFlorence-GrahamWest WhittierBoyle HeightsLos Angeles County

Part 2: Proposing A Solution
Preview the websites of the organizations and programs in the list below. Based on your health condition and the risk factors you identified in Part 1, which one of these could most improve health outcomes in your focal community? Select only one organization/program.Los Angeles Play Streets ProgramLinks to an external site.
Mobile Recreation ProgramLinks to an external site.
Tree PeopleLinks to an external site.
San Gabriel Mountain TrailbuildersLinks to an external site.
Los Angeles Neighborhood Land TrustLinks to an external site.
Gangsta GardeningLinks to an external site.
Explain the community-focused solution being implemented by this organization or program. How does the organization/program address the risk factor(s) that you identified in Part 1 Question 3 in your focal community? You will be focusing on this risk factor for the duration of the Community Health Project.
How would this solution address the identified risk factor and decrease the prevalence of the health condition? To effectively advocate for this solution, you will need to research the physiological connection between the risk factor and your health condition.Explain what is known about how this risk factor contributes to the development of the health condition (see example below).
Use at least two reputable sources in your explanation. Be sure to include in-text citations and a full reference list at the end for full credit.
Example: Planting trees provide more shade and limit exposure to UV radiation (Parisi & Turnbull, 2014). UV radiation is a risk factor for skin cancer (ACS, 2019). UV radiation directly damages DNA and causes mutations to p53 tumor suppressor genes. When p53 genes are mutated, they can no longer repair DNA, leading to the further accumulation of mutations. This accumulation of mutations can lead to uncontrolled cell division and ultimately cause skin cancer (Narayanan et al., 2010).
