Sociology homework help

Purpose: Any good research project must acknowledge that it does not exist in a vacuum. This is not the first time student groups, the UC system, UC Davis, scholars, journalists, bloggers etc. have thought about this topic! Your first step is to learn what work has been done already (don’t reinvent the wheel), what knowledge has already been put into the public sphere and what gaps in knowledge exist by those who have been studying and thinking about this.
The review will help frame the final project paper: What are the key concepts and theories from the class readings and other related sources that help define the terms, frame the debates, situate the project in the broader scholarship of environmental justice studies? How do these sources address the key themes of the course (such as race, class, gender, sexuality, the state, capital) in ways that will be helpful for the project?
Skills: You will learn skills such as identifying high-quality academic sources relevant to your topic, putting the key ideas in these sources into your own words, synthesize key ideas in the sources into themes; identify the important contributions of the sources and identify gaps in the literature that your research can help fill.
Task:
Write a 5-page (double-spaced) literature review (plus references)
The literature review must include at least 5 sources from the class readings and at least 5 other sources from the broader field of environmental justice studies relevant to the group’s topic.
The document should be structured as follows:
1. Introduction (up to one page): Thesis statement; What are the major themes and questions that this lit review will cover?
2. Key Themes/ Questions
2a. Theme/ question 1: What are the key readings that address this theme? What the most important ideas in these readings? How are they relevant to the project?
2b.Theme/ question 2 – ditto
2c.Theme/ question 3- ditto
3. Synthesis: What overall insights does this literature provide to help frame the final research project? Are there gaps in the literature that would be important for your project to help fill?
4. Bibliography. Include all sources you cite in the text of the document. For the 10 sources, 5 can be from the course and 5 should be from outside sources. Please use primarily scholarly/ academic sources. These are peer-reviewed journals or books. You can use some non-academic sources (websites, blogs, news stories). However, in general plan to add more of these sources when you do the detailed research for the paper.
Use APA style for in-text and sources sections.

Unit and Assignment Title
Start writing your introduction here (1-2 paragraphs). An effective introduction prepares the reader by identifying the purpose of the paper and providing the organization of the paper. Please double-space and remember to indent all paragraphs throughout your paper (not block form!). Aim to keep your writing objective using 3rd person (see handout in the Discussion board). Unless required for the specific assignment, please do not include a Table of Contents, as it is not APA style. Review paper guidelines on page requirements and number of sources required (if provided.)  Unless citing a classic work, aim to cite research articles and texts published within the past 5 years.  Please use headings throughout your paper that are consistent with the paper’s scoring guide (that way you ensure you are adequately addressing all required areas.)
When you finish writing your paper, re-read it to check for errors and make sure your ideas flow well. A helpful tip is to read your paper aloud to yourself. If it does not sound right to your ear – it is not working on paper! Please submit your papers to Turnitin (link in the course homepage) to check for plagiarism. Also, remember as a Capella learner you have FREE access through iGuide to personal tutoring services with smarthinking.com.
Group Goal and Objectives 
As notes in the assignment instructions, you need to provide a general statement of the desired outcome for group members or group goal. Then, list three to five measurable group objectives that naturally flow from the primary group goal. Include some session activities to effectively evaluate group progress. A more complete plan for the specific group sessions will be included in your final proposal in u10a1. The Distinguished criterion is, “Identifies measurable group objectives appropriate to a specific therapy group with an identified population, describes the anticipated outcomes of meeting these objectives, and explains why these outcomes are desirable”. This information can be covered effectively in a solid page. Use support from the literature as needed.
Group Format 
As described in the assignment instructions, discuss appropriate steps to recruit, screen, and select group members. Describe important concepts to consider in the group formation or planning stage, including composition and size, frequency and duration, and open or closed membership. You may need to review and cite your text to clarify the concepts. The Distinguished criterion are, “Explains group format components and implications for initial group development and supports choices with support from the literature”. This section should be a solid page with support from the literature.
Group Leadership and Counseling Theory
The assignment instructions prompt you to identify your therapeutic and leadership style. The theory should be a major counseling theory such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy or Narrative Therapy. The group leadership style should include whether the group be led by a single leader or co-leaders? While the instructions ask if you plan to apply an integrative approach and techniques, be mindful that integrating more than two theories will be challenging to support. The Distinguished criterion is, “Skillfully integrates theoretical orientation and group leadership and facilitation styles into the group structure and development processes and supports choices with recent academic research”. This section should be two or three paragraphs with support from more than one peer reviewed article located in the Capella Library. Use the resource “How do I Find Peer Reviewed Articles” included with the assignment instructions. While textbooks may provide a decent overview of a theory, it is not specific enough to guide how the theory guides group leadership. This section should be over a page in length with support from the literature. Note- This section will be revised as needed for the second section of u10a1.
Ethical Group Practices
This section incorporates ASGW and ACA professional standards, to describe ethical and legal considerations in group counseling. For example, how do you plan to address voluntary participation and parameters of confidentiality? The Distinguished criterion is, “Evaluates the ethical and legal considerations involved in working with a specific group therapy model and an identified population and identifies potential consequences of ignoring these considerations.”. This section should be two or three paragraphs with support from more than one peer reviewed article located in the Capella Library. Use the resource “How do I Find Peer Reviewed Articles” included with the assignment instructions.
Summary of Diversity Integration
The assignment instructions prompt you to integrate diversity throughout your description of the group structure and management. Use this section to tie together how diversity will be addressed. The Distinguished criterion is, “Consistently, skillfully, and appropriately incorporates multicultural and diversity awareness and knowledge to the processes of structuring and developing a group”. This section should be two or three paragraphs with support from the relevant literature identified in u04a1 and ethical standards.
Conclusion
Please provide a conclusion that summarizes the main ideas of your paper.

Unit 6 Discussion 1
Ethical Crises in Adult Counseling Groups
Jonathan, a licensed counselor, facilitates a relapse prevention group in an adult correctional facility. He has maintained sobriety for 10 years and finds counseling in this capacity the best way to give back. Members are aware of Jonathan’s recovery process. He often encourages group members to receive self-disclosure as a vehicle for trust and cohesiveness.
Jonathan’s recent experience with a traumatic loss led to a brief relapse. He contacted his sponsor and admitted to facilitating group on two occasions in an altered state. He recalls several group members asking if he was all right.
Although not currently engaged in drug use, Jonathan is torn about whether to inform group members of his relapse. He is concerned about the presentation of authenticity by not disclosing the full story. Jonathan is also worried that members may inform administrators, particularly those who commented on behavioral changes.
Which ACA Ethical Codes apply to Jonathan’s behavior of leading the group in an altered state? If you were Jonathan’s supervisor, how would you advise the facilitator to approach this issue? Review guidelines on pages 281–283 of your text and use specific ACA ethical standards and at least one scholarly article to support your position.
Response Guidelines
Respond to the posts of at least two of your peers for this discussion. Responses should be substantive and contribute to the conversation by asking questions, respectfully debating positions, and presenting supporting information relevant to the topic. Please review the Faculty Expectations for any other requirements for peer responses.

The Mechanism of Action of a Human Papilloma Virus Oncoprotein
Source: Imai, Y., Y. Matsushima, T. Sugimura, M. Terada. 1991. Purification and characterization of human papillomavirus type 16 E7 protein with preferential binding capacity to the underphosphorylated form of retinoblastoma gene product. Journal of Virology 65(9): 4966–4972.
Corresponding chapter(s) in the textbook: Chapter 19 (and 17)Review the following terms before working on the problem: human papilloma virus, [35S]methionine labeling, [32P]phosphate labeling, phorbol ester, retinoblastoma protein, immunoprecipitation, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, autoradiography, pull-down assay, Western blotting
Read the paper and answer the questions below that refers to the data described in Figures 4 and 5 of the paper.
Be prepared to discuss the other experiments described, in class.

Experiment

Human papilloma virus strain 16 (HPV-16) is one of the causative agents of cervical cancer in women. The purpose of the research presented in the figure was to study the mechanism of action of the E7 oncoprotein of HPV-16.
Graph A shows the results of a preliminary experiment. Cells of a human leukemia cell line were cultured without (samples 1 and 3) or in the presence of phorbol ester (samples 2 and 4) and concurrently labeled with [35S]methionine (samples 1 and 2) or [32P]phosphate (samples 3 and 4). (Note: Phorbol ester stimulates protein kinase C.) Cell extracts were immunoprecipitated with an antibody specific for the retinoblastoma protein (anti-RB). SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was performed, followed by autoradiography.
Graph B shows the results of the experiment designed to analyze the function of the E7 protein. Human leukemia cells were cultured in the absence (samples 1 to 3) or presence of phorbol ester (samples 4 to 6). Cell extracts were prepared, and aliquots were incubated with agarose beads to which E7 protein molecules had been covalently attached. After incubation, the beads were sedimented by centrifugation, and Western blot analysis was performed using the anti-RB antibody on the supernatants (S; samples 2 and 5), pellets (P; samples 3 and 6), or total cell extracts (T; samples 1 and 4).
Figure

A) Analysis of RB-immunoprecipitates from human leukemia cell extracts
B) Analysis of RB and E7 protein interactions by pull-down assay (T: total cell extract; S: supernatant; P: pellet)
Questions
1. What was the goal of [35S]methionine and [32P]phosphate labeling?
2. What do bands a and b represent?
3. What does the state of RB protein (graph A) tell you about the cell cycle conditions of the leukemia cells?
4. How did phorbol ester treatment affect the synthesis and phosphorylation of the RB protein?
5. How would the effect of phorbol ester treatment affect the leukemia cell culture?
6. What phenomenon was studied in the experiment that produced graph B?
7. Which form of the RB protein is affected by the E7 oncoprotein?
8. What effect would expression of the E7 protein in the leukemia cells have?
9. Summarize the mechanism of action of the E7 oncoprotein.
