For this discussion board, please find an example of efforts to reduce climate change in your own life.  Note that it can be something that might serve a dual purpose, or even be one not necessarily designed to reduce climate change impacts, but is still doing so indirectly. I give you broad range on how to do this, but examples might be:

  • Appliances that are designed to be energy saving
  • Solar panels in your neighborhood
  • Local legislation aimed at reducing carbon-based sources of power

For the discussion board please:

  1. Write a short (100 word) post about the effort you have found.
  2. Include a relevant photo of your effort; this can be either a photo you find online or one you take yourself.

MALE PATIENT IS ADMITTED TO THE ICU WITH TERMINAL LIVER CANCER.

Scenario: A 96-year-old male patient is admitted to the ICU with terminal liver cancer. He is confused and disoriented very skinny and appears underfed and is covered with bruises which are common in patients with liver disorders. His daughter who is a naturopathic physician insists that she can cure her father by administering unknown substances some of which smell like feces and look like tar down his NG tube. He is clearly in pain after she does this. She insists that these are life-saving interventions on her part but the nursing and physician staff caring for the patient are very upset and concerned that she is hastening his death. They have come to you for help.1) Write a paper (1 250-1 500 words) that describes how to use the method of ethical decision making reviewed in the module to help resolve this ethical dilemma.

Tasks:
Your task is to identify 3 to 5 significant questions regarding the management of virtual teams that relate to “practice wisdom” advice found in the readings, that you believe are sufficiently important that good quality research might help resolve their validity. Trivial questions don’t really warrant research, because the research costs money and other resources that are in scarce supply. We want to reserve our research resources to address those questions that really seem important to practice—particularly issues where the practice wisdom might be divided, with one group saying one set of things and one group another, or where there is no advice available at all. So what you’re looking for in the blogs are situations where advice seems to contradict other advice, or where advice given seems to contradict your own intuition or common sense, or otherwise where ambiguity seems to exist. The two systematic research studies will give you an idea of how such research might be done.
When you identify some topic of interest, you should be able to specify:
The research question itself; what are we trying to find out?
Why is this question interesting? Who might care what the results would be?
Where might we do such a study? How might we carry it out? (Please note: You’re not being assessed here on the quality of your research expertise; just give us some general ideas about how you think we might answer your question.)
What would you expect the results to be?
Any other thoughts or ideas you might have regarding this research issue.
So your paper is to consist of your thoughts on these questions regarding each of the 3 to 5 issues that you have been able to identify from your perusal of the readings of virtual teams.
Assignment:  Compose a 6-page critical analysis paper as outlined above, on the topic: Three to five significant ideas about the management of virtual teams that could be usefully assessed by conducting systematic organizational research

Each student will conduct a search of University’s online Library resources to find 1 recent peer reviewed article (within the past 3 years) that closely relate to Strategy to Detect and Counter Deceptive Tactics. Your submission must include the following information in the following format:
Key Term:

  • Strategy to Detect and Counter Deceptive Tactics

DEFINITION: a brief definition of the key term followed by the APA reference for the term; this does not count in the word requirement.
SUMMARY: Summarize the article in your own words- this should be in the 200 word range. Be sure to note the article’s author, note their credentials and why we should put any weight behind his/her opinions, research or findings regarding the key term.
ANALYSIS: Using 350 words, write a brief analysis, in your own words of how the article relates to the selected chapter Key Term. An analysis is not rehashing what was already stated in the article, but the opportunity for you to add value by sharing your experiences, thoughts and opinions. This is the most important part of the assignment.
REFERENCES: All references must be listed at the bottom of the submission–in APA format.
Pages: 2

HUGE HINT for Journal Article Review Analysis Sections. READ THIS NOW! 
You should incorporate these topics into your analysis section. If you do, then the chances of earning a high grade are GREATLY increased, in fact, this is the FIRST thing I look for when grading your papers.
1. Explain why you selected this particular article among all the articles you could have chosen on your selected term.
2. Explain why you agree or disagree with the author’s key positions in the article.
3. Explain how the article was easy or difficult to understand and why?
4. What did the author do well in your opinion? Explain.
5. Describe what you believe the author could have done better in your opinion?
6. What else should the author have included in the article and would the article benefit from a different perspective (such as from a different nationality or different industry or experience perspective). Explain.
7. What other sources or methods could the author have used to improve the research in the article?  (Hint: look up the types of qualitative and types of quantitative research methods).
8. What information / in-depth study / or further research should the author focus on as a follow up to this article and why?
9. Explain what audience would gain the most benefit from your selected article and how they could apply it in their professional lives.
10. What did you personally gain from this article and how has it shaped your thinking on the topic?
11. What are the conflicting or alternative viewpoints of the author’s position? Or  What additional research backs up and confirms or adds to the author’s position?  (Hint: this will require you to find another peer-reviewed article that challenges, confirms, or adds to, or provides a different perspective to your chosen article.)
Next,  I look for the summary, writing quality, and formatting.
I am typically very lenient on the writing because I am more focused on your content, but I will also point out how the paper could be better written. I only heavily penalize poorly written papers when there are excessive writing problems.
Why do I grade papers in this class this way?
One of the key differences in a Bachelor’s vs Master’s level is critical thinking. Bachelor’s level basically challenges direct knowledge and recall of information. The Master’s level is more about analysis and critical thinking and defending your position in a scholarly way. The analysis section of these papers is your opportunity to exercise critical thinking (that’s why I call this portion of your papers critiques).
Recalling or simply explaining the journal articles is a bachelor’s level task. When I see this in your papers I give the paper an automatic C. If the paper is poorly written it also gets an F.
To get a B or an A – you must provide a critique of the paper and the author and how well the author did and what you think of the article. The questions listed above do this properly.
I do not want to read your version of the journal article. I may as well read the journal article for myself.  Just briefly describe the article in your summary section  – but the analysis section is where you put in your personal critique – in other words, address the questions listed above and even add in additional thoughts based on your own creativity.

I have suffered in my past from domestic violence. I also have diabetes. I don’t believe either of those affect my sex life. My husband sometimes during sex gets a pain in his genital area. He believes it has something to do with an accident he had years ago on a motorcycle.

Sex Therapy Assessment Questionnaire Administration and Scoring/interpretation Directions
This survey has not been statistically evaluated. Scores are calculated only to guide clinicians in treatment decisions by eliciting information in an efficient manner. At the start, provide copies of the survey questions to each spouse ask them to respond independent of each other. Respondents are to answer questions according to their current experiences and feelings. Encourage each to write any additional concerns, problems, and questions related to their struggles in the final comments box. Once completed, score the survey by noting:
1. Total Score: Sum the total score of the 27 items. Totals may range from a low of zero to a high of 108. High scores suggest significant sexual difficulties. Respondents choosing the neutral answer for every question would receive a score of 54 while admitting a problem for each item would receive a score of 81. Thus, clinical judgment suggests totals scores of 81-108 have very serious sexual dysfunction and may need other interventions prior to engaging in sex therapy proper. Total scores between 54 and 81 may suggest significant sexual dysfunction. Scores below 27 may suggest the respondent does not perceive any significant or repetitive sexual dysfunction.
2. Domain Scores: Examine the items in the five domains assessed in the survey: Desire (#1-5), Arousal (#6-10), Technique satisfaction (#11-14), Orgasm (#15-21), Pain (#22-23), and Relationship (#24-27). The following chart provides possible interpretation of domain scores
Domain Minimal Problem Likely Problem Significant Problem
Desire 0-5 6-14 15-20
Arousal 0-5 6-14 15-20
Technique satisfaction 0-4 5-12 13-16
Orgasm 0-6 7-18 19-24
Pain 0 1-3 4-8
Relationship 0-4 5-12 13-16
3. Critical Items: Examine the responses to items 4 (disgust), 14 (pressure), 25 (fighting about sex) and 27 (overall marriage satisfaction). Dialog with the respondent about their responses if their choice acknowledges problems in this area. Also, make note of any serious issues acknowledged in the comments section of the survey. If concerns about child sexual abuse, active addictions, domestic violence, imminent divorce, coercion, etc. are present, sex therapy may not be appropriate at this time since therapy is based on a trust relationship between the couple.
4. Couple Differences: Note significant differences between spouse responses. Review these discrepancies with the couple (with permission) if confident that exposing such differences will not risk harm to either spouse.
Possible exploratory questions regarding common sexual dysfunction
Desire 1. What are your feelings about sex? If experiencing negative emotions about sex, when did they first
begin? 2. Have you ever experienced positive sexual desire for your spouse? For a previous mate? 3. What, if anything, helps increase your desire for sex with your spouse? What hinders it? 4. What efforts have you made to try to cultivate appropriate sexual desire? What worries you about
trying to cultivate desire?
Arousal
©Philip G. Monroe, PsyD, 2009 | Sex Therapy Assessment Questionnaire 4
1. Have you difficulty achieving and/or maintaining arousal through sexual activity? No. What happens when you lose your arousal? That has not happened with my husband.
2. What is necessary to achieve physical or emotional arousal for sex? With my husband I get aroused very easily. A simple kiss, touch, or even sometimes the way he looks at me gets me aroused.
3. Who initiates sex? How? Planned? Spontaneous? Frequency? We both initiate sex. We sometimes just give each other a sexy look. We have been married for 15 years we know how to read each other. Sometimes we just say “Want to?” The initiation is mostly spontaneous but we do have a deal that we keep our sex life alive so one of us initiates it at least once a week.
Techniques
1. What sexual activities provide you the greatest pleasure? I seem to get the most pleasure during the old fashion missionary position. I love to feel my husbands body on top of me and him looking down on me with his pleasure smile.
2. Does your spouse know this? Is he/she able and/or willing to provide this activity? He does know that is my favorite and is willing and able anytime.
3. Do you know what pleases your spouse most and are you able/willing to provide it? My husband loves for me to perform oral sex on him. I am willing to do it anytime even if our sexual encounter ends there.
4. What constitutes foreplay? How quickly do you move to the genitals? To penetration? We take our time. Foreplay is the best part sometimes. We have even made each other beg to move to the genital area. There are times when in the genital area we wait until right before orgasm to move to penetration but other times we just want each other so bad we go to penetration after the teasing foreplay.
5. Do you attempt to have simultaneous orgasms? We have attempted it at times but it is a difficult task sometimes.
6. Are any activities or body-parts off limits for one spouse that frustrates the other? No. I do not enjoy anal sex but my husband doesn’t mind either. He doesn’t really like it that much either.
Orgasm 1. Do both achieve satisfactory orgasm? If not, why not? I always thought satisfactory orgasm was
all orgasms. With each other every orgasm is a minimum of satisfactory. 2. Does orgasm take too long? Too premature? How much time? For me orgasm takes a long time.
It always had. My husband goes fast but not to fast and he can keep going after about a minute break. A long time to me is 20 minutes. If i do not orgasm within the first 10 then I think I am not going to. We have tried up to 20 minutes before. My husband can go in 3 – 5 minutes but he does wait for me most of the time unless I dont want him to wait.
Pain 1. Presence of pain and/or distracting sensations that hinder sexual activity or satisfaction?
Sometimes my husband has pain in his scrotum area and loses his erection. 2. Vaginal tightness hindering penetration? History of penetration? No 3. Lubrications used? Sometimes KY Jelly but mostly none used.
Relationship
1. Has your spouse ever violated your trust in regards to sexual matters? No 2. Do you feel coerced to try new things relating to sex? No 3. Do you feel you have the right to refuse sex because of interest, emotions, tiredness, etc.? Yes 4. What happens when you talk about your sexual feelings? When your spouse talks about sexual
feelings? My spouse and I have a great relationship and can talk about anything. We share everything. If there is a problem we do not have any problem communicating the problem. If we want to try something new there are no barriers and we feel comfortable and trust each other enough to ask.
 Psychology homework help
Over the course of this semester you have explored your interests, identified your strengths, reflected on your goals and how to achieve them. Your Capstone Report will comprise of a summary of what you have learned.
This paper is about mapping out your strategy to meet your goals so it is okay to draw from your personal experience but the conclusions you reach have to consist of more than your self-reflections. Think, for example, about what have you read and discussed over the semester and how that is informing your strategy. You are required to cite at least five sources from the course’s assigned readings. In addition, you can also cite material from outside the course’s reading list. Note that you will only get points for citing sources if they appear in the text of your paper and in your bibliography. If you struggle with citing material properly, I encourage you to visit the Center for Excellence in Writing for help.
You are welcome to use whatever citation style you are most comfortable with such as MLA, APA etc. FIU has a number of online resources dedicated to avoiding plagiarism (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and making proper citations. With regard to citing from social media, UCF has outlined some guidelines for MLA style citations (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. If your paper consists of a bibliography without corresponding in text citations, you will lose points.
As we have learned while reading, “Everybody Writes” it helps to have an audience in mind to guide your writing. Your audience for this report is your personal board of directors (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. These are the people you turn to for career advice, the sounding boards for your ideas, the ones you go to when you need to be nudged to get something done. What information would you need to give them to convince them of your strategy? What concerns might they raise and how will you address them?
Your paper must specifically address the following:

  • What are your goals? What skills, experiences, insights do you possess that make you unique and how do they connect with what you want to achieve? What concrete steps have you already taken and what additional measures do you plan to take to make your goals a reality? I encourage you to revisit the readings and exercises from modules 1 to 5 for inspiration. Think of what you write in this section as your answer to the ubiquitous interview question, “Tell me about yourself”. Chapter 10 & 11 of “You Majored in What?” have some great tips to help you construct your answer.
  • Next, outline your plan to create a network that will help you achieve your objectives. You can begin by presenting an assessment of your current network (use the Uzzi and Dunlop HBR article as a guide) before discussing how you plan to broaden your circle of contacts.
  • You also need to discuss how you will be managing your online presence. Be as detailed as possible. For example, at this point you have a LinkedIn profile and perhaps a couple of connections. How are you going to expand your network to help achieve your goals? By asking people for introductions? By joining groups that share your interests? If you have come to the conclusion that you don’t need to maintain a prominent presence online, elaborate on your reasoning behind this decision.
  • Finally, what is your plan to sustain your network, and online presence?

This report should be 1500- 2500 words in length. You will be graded on the following:

  • Content: Does it fulfill the stated objective of the assignment? Has the writer made clear and well supported arguments? Are citations appropriately used? Has the author adhered to the word limits?
  • Organization: Is it easy to understand the point the author is making? Does the paper flow in a way that makes it readable?

This assignment must be submitted as a Word document.

Please read the Dianrong case study (see HBS Coursepack) and answer the following questions with substantive answers in a cohesive essay. Your paper should be at least 3 pages in length. Use proper grammar, spelling, citations, etc.
1. What are the trade offs that Dianrong is facing? How should the company prioritize its objectives? What should Soul Htite do?
2. As detailed in Exhibit 1 of the case, there are different collaboration models that Dianrong has adopted in working with various parties on technological development. How should the company decide on the nature of collaboration for technological developments in the future (via organic and in-house developments, partnerships, joint ventures, or acquisitions)?
3. Assuming that the company manages to raise an additional US$100 million, how should Dianrong allocate the capital across its many business units to maximize value in the long run? Should the company spend the money on internal R&D initiatives or M&A pursuits? Or both?
4. How should the company work with the local regulations in China? Should the company focus on reviving the P2 industry in China in the process? If so, how?
5. Are there other technologies that Dianrong should consider adding to its already expansive portfolio of technologies? In contrast, are there technologies that may seem redundant at the firm at the moment? How should Dianrong manage this to improve its competitive edge with its “technology DNA?”
