Apostles of Disunion

In his book, Apostles of Disunion, Charles Dew has three central goals:

To disabuse the still (surprisingly) commonly held belief that secession was not about preserving slavery but rather about protecting states’ rights
To explain how secession was not an obvious or easy decision for many who joined the Confederacy, but was a choice that was bolstered by a targeted messaging campaign designed to persuade hesitant states to leave the United States
To describe how that messaging campaign was about far more than the institution of slavery alone, but rather exploited a much broader message about preserving racial subordination and protecting white supremacy

Your assignment is to pick ONE of Dew’s central goals and explain how he illustrated his point with historical evidence. In a three-page essay, discuss how Dew made his central point by using example of the primary sources he cites.

Terms of reference (TOR)’ for these new bodies must be drafted within one month for consideration as a regulatory act in Parliament. What considerations should you weave into this proposed new policy? What should be the essential roles and responsibilities of the new community health center governing councils? How should you help the members of these governing bodies become educated about good board work? Consider these questions as you begin your journey into the realm of good board work as presented in this chapter.

COVID-19 Testing

During the COVID-19 pandemic, testing is relied upon heavily to help develop prevention and control measures. The validity of tests used can impact individual and community decisions and ultimately COVID-19 related morbidity and mortality.

Instructions
For this assignment, see “Serology-based tests for COVID-19” (Links to an external site.) from the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. This article discusses the sensitivity and specificity of serology-based tests for COVID-19.

From the Johns Hopkins list of serology-based tests, select two different types of serology assays from two different manufacturers and answer the following questions:

Describe, compare, and contrast each test including a discussion on sensitivity and specificity. Is one test better than the other?
Discuss how these tests might be available to the community. For example, are they easily accessible and inexpensive?
When screening large groups for COVID-19, would you select a less valid test in exchange for ease of use, patient comfort, or cost? Meaning, if the specific test was cheaper or easier to use, would you choose this type of test even if it meant compromising test validity?
What are the consequences of a false positive COVID-19 test?
What are the consequences of a false negative COVID-19 test?
Review the following article for additional information on the impact of COVID-19 test validity.

West, C.P., Montori, V.M., & Sampathkumar, P. (2020). COVID-19 testing: The threat of false-negative results (Links to an external site.). Mayo Clin Proceedings, 95(6), 1127–1129.

Medical Care Production and costs

The following Assignments should be completed and submitted to the course faculty via the learning platform for evaluation and grading. Submit your responses to these questions in one WORD document. List the question first, and then your response. Be sure to properly site your sources, both in-text and with a reference list at the conclusion. If
you use an online source to support your answers, you must provide a properly formatted link to the source. You should use APA citation format and make sure your sources are credible. In most cases, your responses should be no more than 400 words.

1. Suppose you are to specify a short-run production function for dental services. What inputs might you include in the production function? Which would be the variable inputs and which the fixed inputs?

2. In your own words, explain the law of diminishing marginal productivity. Be sure to mention the reason this law tends to hold in the short run.

3. Explain the difference between technical efficiency and economic efficiency.

4. Discuss the relation between the marginal and average productivity curves and the marginal and average variable cost curves.

5. What does the elasticity of substitution illustrate? How is it expressed mathematically? What two factors affect its magnitude?

6. Explain the difference between the explicit and implicit costs of production. Cite an example of each.

7. What does economies of scope mean? Provide an example.

8. Explain the reasoning behind the U shape of the long-run average total cost curve. Why might this cost curve shift upward?

9. Describe the two limitations associated with the cost theory provided in this chapter when it is applied to explain the behavior of medical firms.

10. Suppose that you are interested in comparing the costs of producing inpatient services at Saving Grace Hospital with those at ACME Hospital. Further suppose that the two hospitals annually admit about 24,000 and 32,000 patients, respectively, at average short-run total costs per admission of roughly $11,000 and $12,000.

A. Why may these average STC figures not represent the economic cost of providing inpatient services at these two hospitals? Explain fully.

B. Using cost theory as presented in the text, identify and fully discuss four other factors that might explain why ACME Hospital has higher average costs of production than Saving Grace Hospital.
