  3. Using the figures above, provide an estimate of your participant’s absoluteand relative maximal VO2 and peak work rate. (3 marks)
  4. According to normative (population) values for VO2max, how would you describe your participant’s estimated VO2max(i.e., how fit are they?) (30 words max.)  (1 mark)
  5. Indicate what source of information you used for your normative (population) values for VO2maxand why this source was appropriate? (60 words max.)  (2 mark)

Question 2. Estimating your participant’s blood lactate threshold.

  1. Present a figure of your participant’s relationship between lactate & power output:  (2 marks)
  2. Present a figure of your participant’s relationship between lactate & VO2:  (2 marks)
  3. Using the figures in Q2A and Q2B, are you able to identify your participant’s blood lactate threshold (BLT)? If you can, please annotate/draw on that figure showing how you visually determined the BLT. Report the absolute and relative exercise-intensity (i.e., power output and %VO2max) at the BLT in your response below.  (2 marks)

If you CAN determine the BLT, make sure that you annotate the figures in Q2A and Q2B such that your assessor can clearly see how you have visually determined the BLT. You must report the BLT as an absolute and relative exercise-intensity (i.e., work rate and %VO2max) in your answer here.

If you CANNOT determine the BLT, you must use this space to describe two (2) reasons why the BLT cannot be determined from your data. Your job here is to convince the assessor that there is a good reason for not finding the BLT in your participant’s data. Provide details but respect the maximum word limit for this section.

  1. Using the figures in Q2A and Q2B, are you able to identify your participant’s onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA)? If you can, please annotate/draw on that figure showing how you visually determined the OBLA. Report the absolute and relative exercise-intensity (i.e., power output and %VO2max) at the OBLA in your response below.

If you cannot determine the OBLA, please detail your reasons why it cannot be determined using your data. (100 words max.)  (2 marks)

If you CAN determine the OBLA, make sure that you annotate the figures in Q2A and Q2B such that your assessor can clearly see how you have visually determined the OBLA. You must report the BLT as an absolute and relative exercise-intensity (i.e., work rate and %VO2max) in your answer here.

If you CANNOT determine the OBLA, you must use this space to describe two (2) reasons why the OBLA cannot be determined from your data. Your job here is to convince the assessor that there is a good reason for not finding the OBLA in your participant’s data. Provide details but respect the maximum word limit for this section. You may wish to cite similar reasons as provided in your answer to Q2C above; however, please write your response here in full sentences. DO NOT simply state “see above”.

 

 

Question 3. Estimating your participant’s “cross-over” point.

  1. Present a figure of your participant’s relationship between fuel (relative % contribution to total energy expenditure) versus power output:  (2 marks)
  2. Using the figure in Q3A, are you able to identify your participant’s “cross-over” point in fuel utilization? If you can, please annotate/draw on that figure showing how you visually determined the “cross-over” point. Report the absolute exercise-intensity (i.e., power output) at the “cross-over” point in your response below.

If you cannot determine this point, please suggest one (1) reason why it cannot be determined using your data. (100 words max.)  (1 mark)

If you CAN determine the “cross-over” point, make sure that you annotate the figure in Q3A such that your assessor can clearly see how you have visually determined the “cross-over” point. You must report the “cross-over” point as an absolute work rate in your answer here.

If you CANNOT determine the “cross-over” point, you must use this space to describe two (2) reasons why “cross-over” point cannot be determined from your data. Your job here is to convince the assessor that there is a good reason for not finding a “cross-over” point in your participant’s data. Provide details but respect the maximum word limit for this section. Please note that stating “we did not see a cross-over point because the lines did not cross over” is not an adequate response.

 

Question 4. Estimating your participant’s blood pressure at VO2max.

  1. Present a figure of your participant’s relationship between SBP, DBP and MAP & power output:  (2 marks)
  2. Using the figure in Q4A, provide an estimate of your participant’s SBP, DBP and MAP at an exercise-intensity corresponding to their estimated peak power output. Discuss your approach, and outline any assumptions you have made to arrive at your answer.  (120 words max.)  (3 marks)

To answer this question, you must describe the thought processes behind your approach, including any assumptions you have made, and any working out for equations you may have used to arrive at the answer. You must use your own group’s data to determine this answer. You cannot answer this question by directly quoting normative (population) values for blood pressure during maximal exercise.

 

Question 5. Estimating your participant’s maximal cardiac output, avO2 difference and total peripheral resistance.

  1. Provide an estimate of your participant’s maximal stroke volume (SVmax) using normative (population) values for a demographic population similar to that of your participant.

Religion observation project

Categories of observation:

Location and setting: Pay attention to the physical surroundings, environment, and neighborhood (residential or commercial); is it a busy part of town or secluded? Walk around the area to get a sense of place (you can supplement with Google Earth for a bird’s eye view).

    • The building is not on the side of the road but in the parking lot very close to the location, facing the entrance of the parking lot is the huge logo of Scientology and the golden cross, the church of Scientology of steves Greek building gives people a very modern and new feeling. I went there at 4 pm on a weekday, so there were only 3-4 cars in the parking lot. What surprised me was that the church of Scientology had set up a reception desk, which needed to take a temperature and ask if there were any recent symptoms of illness, followed by a questionnaire that needed to be filled out, including name, age, phone number, and how to I was very surprised that the church of Scientology had a receptionist. ( I wrote)

Physical setting and artifacts (i.e., objects): What does the meeting place look like (inside and out)? Does this affect the mood or create a particular type of setting? How is the space set up? What are some of the “props” (i.e., tables, chairs, musical instruments, microphones, candles, coffee and snacks, etc.)? Are there any symbols that represent the group? Are there pamphlets or booklets? (Or is there literature online that you can use that tells you something about the religious group?)

    • The building of Church of Scientology is divided into two floors, and on the left hand side of the first floor is the very large “exhibition hall” which houses the “Testing” and evulacate center. I was greeted by Mr. Robin, who was dressed in a white shirt, black pants, and black tie. On the left side of the showroom there were a lot of bookshelves, some of them were for sale, on the right side of the showroom there were several giant TVs, each TV had a different advertisement about scientology, there were two posters next to each TV, and in the center of the first floor there was a “library” where there were a lot of visitors. There is a “library” in the center of the first floor where a lot of books for “classes” and Scientology badges are for sale. Next to the library there is a chapel, which is more like a small meeting room, with a capacity of about 30 people. The second floor consists of only two functional areas, one is the purification center and the other is the auditing room. The purification center has four treadmills at the entrance, two saunas and a shower room inside, and a kitchenette with different vitamins on top. Every time you go to the purification center, you can run on the treadmill for 20 minutes, then go to the sauna, and after that you can go to the kitchen to take vitamins. ( i wrote)

Demographics: You might note the ethnic affiliation, gender, race, economic class, and age of participants. For example, what is the ratio of males to females? Are the attendees older or younger or both? What are people wearing (e.g., expensive suits and dresses, work clothes, business casual, etc.)? These may indicate economic class. Look around the parking lot, what do you see? Parking lots may provide a view of the types of cars in the parking lot (e.g., mini-vans, high-end cars, etc.). (You can use Google Earth to supplement what you see on the day you arrive.) While you’re not expected to be precise here in terms of counting types of people, cars, etc., you can use these observations to learn something about the demographics of the group.

There is not many people there, I only saw 2 teenager and one senior at the purification center

  • Meeting style: What is the format or structure of the meeting? Is it informal or formal? Are there clearly those who lead the meeting or does everyone take part? Is the meeting broken up into different parts? For example, is there a worship (e.g., prayer, meditation, songs, chants, clapping, dancing, etc.) part of the service that precedes the sermon? Also, how are messages communicated: spoken word, lyrics, chanting, formal prayers, or individualized prayers, etc.? Make note of the activities and styles of interaction, worship, conversation, and/or teaching style. Are overhead projectors used to create guidelines for the religious service? Do the attendees seem engaged in the meeting or bored?
  • Engagement of bodies: This is especially important if in a religious group that has some worship, prayer, or meditation portion of the service that can be observed. How are the bodies of practitioners engaged (e.g., singing, clapping, swaying or perfectly still, hands in the air or folded in one’s lap, etc.)? Are they sitting or standing? What do you see? What do you hear? What do you feel while participating or observing this? What do you think participants are experiencing based on their body language or facial expressions?
  • Narratives: You may also hear stories about the group in sermons. Or you may read about these stories on the organization’s website, on social media, or in their pamphlets. What are some of the stories people are telling one another about themselves or their religion? Do these relate to the organization or one’s identity with the religion? What do these narratives tell you about the history or mission of the group, and their identity? How do such stories situate people in a moral/ethical landscape?

Forensic evidence

Imagine that you are now an expert in the critical assessment of forensic science techniques. You have been invited by the National Institute of Forensic Science and the Australian Innocence Network to write a report evaluating one key piece of forensic evidence. They are concerned with its use as expert evidence in court and the prevention of future wrongful conviction.

In your paper, include:
-A description of the scpecific forensic science technique and its scientific basis;
-The strengths and limitations of the forensic science technique that can be used to assist or argue against the admission of such evidence in court; and
-Recommendations as to how to improve the forensic science technique to prevent future wrongful convictions.
