Hello i need a Good and Positive Comment related with this argument .A paragraph with no more 100 words.Kristie Keel6 postsRe:Topic 1 DQ 1Science does not pay respect to spirituality faith and religion. Science focuses on facts and data. After working many years in the nursing field I fell like this conflict is improving but still exists. Medical schools nursing schools and healthcare systems in recent years has made an concerted effort to increase awareness to cultural religion and spirituality helping healthcare professionals become more aware of how to treat the whole patient. The focus of healthcare has added more compassion into practice and to take into account patients mental needs as well as physical wellness. To me the physical is the science perspective and the mental is a more religious perspective. Science and religion shouls work together for the good of the whole patient just like physical and mental health work together for holistic care. When we are mindful to the various elements of the human experience and are acutely aware of the sacred responsibility we hold when we treat the [body] of another person and we are humbled by the beauty sensitivity and complexity of the design of the human body and spirit. it is that moment that we do our best work and are in service to the well-being of the patient and we are grateful for the fulfilling experience of restoring health to that person.

How Big is Your Carbon Footprint?
One of the cornerstone concepts in environmental science is global warming and climate change. Throughout the term, you will learn about numerous ways in which human behaviors can modify ecosystems. For this Assignment, you will do the following:
Assess your initial carbon footprint using the following website and report the results:
EPA. (n.d.). Household carbon footprint calculator.
https://www3.epa.gov/carbon-footprint-calculator
2. Track a typical day in your life, and in a paragraph, record any behaviors that may have an impact on the environment and your carbon footprint. Describe any regular activities that you engage in including:
How do you get to work? If you drive long distances, how is your gas mileage?
How do you prepare meals? Do you eat in or take out? How much food do you throw out?
Do you leave lights or other electronics on at home when you are not there?
How often and how much water do you use (i.e., how long are your showers, do you have any leaky faucets, do you leave the water on when you brush your teeth)?
Do you recycle repurpose or reuse items?
What kind of heat do you use to heat your house? Do you use air conditioning? etc.
3. After you have identified ways in which you could have an impact on your environment, select one activity that you could change to reduce this impact. Shrink That Footprint (http://shrinkthatfootprint.com/) lists many actions you can take — some as minor as getting coffee without a disposable cup every day.
Be sure to choose an action that is realistically possible. For example, buying a new home might save you a great deal of money, but is not something that can be completed in 9 weeks.
4. Design a clear, testable hypothesis using the one behavior selected that you will change. This hypothesis will be used to describe the influence your change will have on your carbon footprint. A hypothesis is a specific statement of “if…then.”
For assistance in designing a testable hypothesis, review the following video or visit the Science Center for additional resources:
http://www.screencast.com/t/VgOfderB8
5. Include a paragraph describing how you will test your hypothesis. What are your methods? Clearly outline each of the steps you will take to test your hypothesis.
For example: If I decide to unplug my computer every night, then I will save a certain amount of money, energy, and carbon over the course of 2 months.
I will prove this by: Calculating my carbon footprint leaving my computer on when I’m asleep. Then I will calculate and compare my carbon footprint after I start using a power strip I can turn off every night, including my computer, the monitor, and my printer. If my hypothesis is correct, my carbon footprint in the second case will be much less than it is for the first!
I will measure the carbon output from the devices by calculating how much electricity is drained by plugged-in sources (using the footprint calculator and the estimates on Carbon Rally). Then, I will faithfully record how many nights, and for how many hours, I remember to do this, as well as the expenditure for a new power strip (if it turns out I don’t have one in a closet somewhere).
So, come up with a hypothesis, a working change to make in your lifestyle, and a way to measure that change. You will also be observing the changes in your lifestyle (as well as money spent and carbon saved) over the next 9 weeks.
Those observations will be explained in greater detail in Weeks 3, 5, and 7.

Kenneth Brown is the principal owner of Brown Oil, Inc. After quitting his university teaching job, Ken has been able to increase his annual salary by a factor of over 100. At the present time, Ken is forced to consider purchasing some more equipment for Brown Oil because of competition. His alternatives are shown in the following table:
Equipment
Favorable Market ($)
with probability 70%
Unfavorable Market ($)
with probability 30%
Sub 100300,000–200,000Oiler J250,000–100,000Texan75,000–18,000
For example, if Ken purchases a Sub 100 and if there is a favorable market, he will realize a profit of $300,000. On the other hand, if the market is unfavorable, Ken will suffer a loss of $200,000. But Ken has always been a very optimistic decision maker.
Although Ken Brown is the principal owner of Brown Oil, his brother Bob is credited with making the company a financial success. Bob is vice president of finance. Bob attributes his success to his pessimistic attitude about business and the oil industry.

Megley Cheese Company is a small manufacturer of several different cheese products. One of the products is a cheese spread that is sold to retail outlets. Jason Megley must decide how many cases of cheese spread to manufacture each month. The probability that the demand will be six cases is 0.1, for 7 cases is 0.3, for 8 cases is 0.5, and for 9 cases is 0.1. The cost of every case is $45, and the price that Jason gets for each case is $95. Unfortunately, any cases not sold by the end of the month are of no value, due to spoilage.
Hint: You need to fill in the following table and be careful with the waste whenever production exceeds consumption or the forgone revenue if supply/production falls short of demand.

A group of medical professionals is considering the construction of a private clinic. If the medical demand is high (i.e., there is a favorable market for the clinic), the physicians could realize a net profit of $100,000. If the market is not favorable, they could lose $40,000. Of course, they don’t have to proceed at all, in which case there is no cost. In the absence of any market data, the best the physicians can guess is that there is a 50–50 chance the clinic will be successful.

I agree with the relaxation and breathing methods used to help the patient. You mentioned that the patient is wheelchair-bound and has gained weight. These can be a result of low physical activity and immobilization. Studies have shown that treatment techniques such as relaxation, massage, and active exercises are used for nominalizing respiration and muscular control and helping the patient to become aware of how the body and mind interact ( Breitve, Hynninen & Kyale 2010).
Looking at the age of your client (65 years), as a middle-aged older adults, the stepped-care approach may be effective for her. According to Meuldijk & Wuthrich (2019), stepped-care models are effective in treating depression and anxiety with this population. The goal of stepped care is to offer the most effective but least resourceful intensive intervention for the patient. The starting step of treatment depends on the severity of the patient’s characteristics, and the patients can be stepped up and down during treatment as needed. Thus, having the right service in the right place, at the right time delivered by the right person is important in treating older adults with both depression and anxiety (Meuldijk & Wuthrich 2019).

Once you graduate and obtain your first job out of your Master of Social Work program, you may be asked to identify the gaps in services at your new agency. You may be asked to create a new group or help to identify a new evidence-based intervention that can be introduced to the clients. Understanding how to research the current literature, and then choose and evaluate an intervention, is an important component of being a successful social worker. For this course, you have researched new and interesting interventions that are currently being used with children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. Further, you have explored the importance of connecting theory to practice.
For this Assignment, use will practice steps in Evidence-Based Practice. 1) You will think of a practice problem. 2) You then conduct a literature review on available research. 3) You will evaluate the evidence to determine which intervention to use. 4) You will consider client values and your clinical expertise. 5) You will think about what you hope the client gains from this intervention (i.e., decreased depression, increased quality of life, decreased PTSD symptoms) and consider how you might measure this change.
To prepare:
- Choose a population of interest to you.
- Children
- Adolescents
- Adults
- Elderly/Aging
- Choose a presenting problem (depression, family conflict, homelessness, etc.) related to the population of interest.
- Conduct a literature review focused on the presenting problem within the population of interest.
By Day 7
Submit an 8- to 10-page scholarly paper supported with a minimum of six peer-reviewed articles as references. In the paper, you should:
- Briefly describe the population and presenting problem you are focusing on for this assignment.
- Provide a review of the articles you reviewed from this project and explain what you learned from conducting this research.
- Briefly describe at least 2 evidence-based interventions currently used for your chosen population when addressing this particular problem. Provide supporting references when explaining the evidence behind the interventions.
- Explain which of these interventions you might choose to use and why.
- Consider client values and your clinical expertise and how those might affect your decision of which intervention to use.
- Describe how you might apply the specific skills and techniques of the chosen intervention.
- Briefly explain how you could measure the outcomes of this intervention.
- Explain any cultural considerations that you need to take into account when working with this population or the particular presenting problem.
- Discuss how the Code of Ethics applies when working with this particular presenting problem and population.
- Explain how you would apply a trauma-informed lens when working with this population.
Support your Final Project with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.
The Final Project will be evaluated according to the Final Project Rubric, located below and in the Course Information area.

Case Study 11.1: It’s an Agile World
This case illustrates a common problem in software and IT development, where programmers and IT staff are anxious to lock in specifications as early as possible so they can “get to work” without having to worry about invasive or disruptive input from the end users. Unfortunately, what typically happens is that the finished product is not what the users needed or thought they needed and a long list of fixes and modifications are needed to make it work correctly. This case is based on a true story in a hospital IT department that routinely struggled with these sorts of user conflicts until they sifted to an Agile methodology.
