The Prompt
You will watch one Soviet era movie and one contemporary  Russian movie. The goal for this assignment is for you to notice Russian culture. You need to avoid the blockbuster mobster or otherwise violent movies.  They do not show much about real Russian lives.  For guidance on which films to choose, I would choose a Russian’s suggestions.  Here are two links: IMDb  or RBTH , but there are many more out there. I would try YouTube or Google Best Russian and Best Soviet Movies.
Please, try to respond to the following questions for each film (if some of them are not applicable, then add something else to your response):
1. What did you notice about the lifestyles portrayed in the films?
2.  Did you notice the living conditions?
3. What did you learn about work in Russia or in the Soviet Union?
4.  How did the characters spend their free-time?
5.  What did you notice about relationships with parents, spouse, children and friends?
6. What other elements of culture did you notice?
7. Can you compare your life to the lives in the Russian/Soviet films?  What was different?
8.  A broad question:  Now that you have learned various aspects about the Russian culture, what would you tell somebody that asked you what you learned about Russia?

>Psychology homework help

Correlational research, which you explored in this week’s Discussion, is useful in identifying relations between two variables, but does not make assumptions regarding cause and effect among the variables because researchers did not control for outside factors. To demonstrate possible causal relations among variables, researchers will need to manipulate variables in an experimental research design.
The variable that the researcher manipulates in an experimental research design is termed the independent variable. As a researcher, one important determination you need to make is the number of independent variables involved in the study. If you manipulate one independent variable, the study would be termed a one-way experimental design.
Researchers also need to determine dependent variables. In an experimental design, the dependent variable is the measure of the effect of the independent variable. If the dependent measure reveals an effect made by an independent variable, a researcher may be able to determine cause.
Consider a study that hypothesizes that 8-year-olds who play educational computer games score higher on intelligence tests than those who do not play educational computer games. Consider how many aspects you would need to address if you were conducting the study. First, you would need to understand that the independent variable is the game-playing, whereas the dependent variable is the scores on the intelligence test.
Next, you would need to determine the levels of the independent variable. In this scenario, suppose there are three levels of play: no play, some play (4 hours a week), and frequent play (8 or more hours a week).
Additionally, you would need to determine whether the study is a between-participants design or a within-participants design (also known as a repeated-measures design). A between-participants design uses different groups for each level. A within-participants design uses the same group, and that one group repeats the experiment for each level.
In this Assignment you apply key concepts related to experimental design to a research study and analyze and interpret the outcome.
To prepare:

  • Read the assigned pages from Chapter 10 in your course text. -Stangor, C. (2015). Research methods for the behavioral sciences (5th ed.). Stamford, CT: Cengage Learning.
  • Read the following study scenario: Researchers are interested in the effectiveness of a particular treatment for insomnia. They contact 50 insomnia sufferers who responded to a newspaper advertisement to participate in the study. Each participant is given a pill with instructions to take it before going to sleep that night. The pill actually contains milk powder (a placebo). The participants are randomly assigned to receive one of two sets of instructions about the pill. One half of the participants are told that the pill will make them feel “sleepy,” and the other half are told that the pill will make them feel “awake and alert.” The next day the participants return to the lab and are asked to indicate how long it took them to fall asleep after taking the pill. The individuals who were told that the pill would make them feel sleepy reported that they fell asleep faster than the participants who were told the pill would make them feel alert.
    Think about the concepts you read about this week about one-way experimental designs and analysis of variance (ANOVA), and how they apply to the above study.

The Assignment (1–2 pages):
With the study scenario in mind, complete the following:

  1. Identify the independent variable and dependent variable. Indicate the number of levels in the independent variable and describe each level.
  2. Indicate whether the research used a between-participants or a within-participants research design and how you determined this to be the case.
  3. Presume a third condition was added to the study. In this condition, the participants are not given any information about the effects of the (placebo) pill. Next, suppose an analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted. Briefly interpret, in your own words, what it would mean if the F was significant as applied to this study.

Biology homework help

Instruction for assignment
Choose one example of a specific type of cancer to investigate. Examples include (but are not limited to) lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer. The choice can be even more specific such as 1) ductal breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer, or hormone negative or triple negative breast cancer, or 2) sporadic (does not run in families) colorectal cancer, hereditary non-polyptosis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) aka Lynch syndrome, or Familial Adenomatous polyptosis (FAP) colorectal cancer. Do some research and answer the following questions.
1. Disease Statistics: How common is the disease? What is the crude (overall) rate? What is the rate by race, ethnicity, gender, and stage of disease? Have rates changed over the years? Are there specific populations at risk, and are there associated behaviors that could be changed (like smoking or obesity)?
2. Discuss the biology of the cancer. I am specifically looking for terms used in this class: immune system cells, specific mutations, common metastatic sites, specific oncogenes (such as the HER-2 gene in breast cancer), or tumor suppressor genes.
3. Discuss the treatments used and the mechanisms of each treatment. Treatments include but are not limited to radiation, chemotherapy, biological, gene therapy. Again, I am looking for terms used in this class; I also encourage you to learn some new terms regarding treatment mechanisms.
4. You will also be graded on adherence to citation rules, grammar and organization.
5. This assignment is worth 1600. I have to do a work-around due to Turnitin, but will update your grade later.
Write a single-spaced, 12-point font paper min 2 pages, max 3 pages (not inclusive of citations). You may not use quotes, put all information into your own words. American Medical Association (AMA) is the required citation style. At least 2 journal articles are required, at least 5 citations total. You will be evaluated on the quality of your sources
 
You must use at least two original research papers, review articles or meta analyses found on PubMed. You must include at least 5 sources, total, and they all must be reputable sources (not from a wiki, blog or website selling something).
 
Writing guidelines
 
Guidelines for Writing Your paper will be taken seriously. I will read it carefully and grade closely. Papers will be judged on both content and form. It will pay handsomely to do the best job you can. 1. Content: High marks go to papers deriving intelligent generalizations from accurate and appropriate facts. Note the combination. Description alone is dull and pointless. Generalizations without supporting evidence are worthless. 2. Organization: From the beginning, make sure your reader knows what you intend to do and how you intend to do it. The biggest help here is to think of a meaningful title and write a cogent introduction. Then lead the reader through your main points, making sure there are no breaks in your logic. Finally, your conclusion should be written to sum up your main points. 3. Documentation: When you borrow facts or ideas from someone else, you must acknowledge the borrowing. Failure to do so is plagiarism, an unforgivable academic sin. Papers must include intext citations AND a list of references which cites all your sources, and must include citations within the paper for each time you borrow ideas or facts. SEE the guidelines for citations and follow them exactly. You must use at least two original research papers, review articles or meta analyses found on PubMed. You must include at least 5 sources, total, and they all must be reputable sources (not from a wiki, blog or website selling something). When reading original research articles, focus on the introduction and the discussion, both in the abstract and in the main text. You don’t have to understand every word nor do you have to understand the methods. Use a dictionary or other resources to help you understand what is being said. 4. English: Careful attention to formal English will pay dividends. Careless or bad writing will be penalized. The best way to avoid careless writing is to have a friend or the writing center proofread your paper. • Style: If you have doubts about style, write plain straightforward English. If you still have questions, get a copy of Strunk and White’s marvelous little handbook, The Elements of Style, available in paperback at bookstores in town and on campus. It is an excellent investment for your writing now and later. Read it carefully and pay attention to it. I use this for every manuscript I have published. • Mechanics: Your writing should be grammatical and correctly punctuated. Use a dictionary to check doubtful spelling and a thesaurus to select the best word in case you have any doubts. NOTE: You can avoid a lot of trouble by making a careful outline. Revise the outline as needed, well before you begin writing. Then, when you do write, expect to make a first draft, a second draft and as many successive ones as you need, before you finally put together the polished finished paper. There is no such thing as a good first draft paper. The last grant I submitted had 32 versions. The university writing center is available to help and will be happy to give comments and advice as you are going along. I find it useful to take the “last” draft and let it sit for several days. Just before the final typing, I do a careful editing job. The little bit of time between these steps makes it easier to find errors and awkwardness in my prose
Citation rules
Number references consecutively in the order in which they are mentioned in the text. Reference numbers in the text are full-sized Arabic numerals in parentheses within the sentence. For 3 or more consecutive references cited all at once, use, for example, (1-4). Format other references as (4, 5, 12), with spaces between the reference numbers.
 
When directly quoting material in the text, give the reference number followed by the page number(s) of the quotation, for example, (24, p. 65). Only short phrases (shorter than a sentence) are allowed for direct quotations. The point is for you to learn from the materials you are accessing and put the ideas in your own words. Examples of correct forms of references follow. Type references double-spaced. The titles of journals should be abbreviated according to the List of Journals Indexed in Index Medicus (published by the National Library of Medicine). For more than 3 authors, list the first 3 and add “et al.”
