Chemical Engineering Question

The assignment is to debunk common climate change myths using peer-reviewed science. For each of the three myths below, provide a written rebuttal that uses the peer-reviewed literature as your primary source. Your response to each question can be no longer than 200 words (brevity is good). Make sure you include at the end of your answer the full bibliographic information for the article(s) you cite (not included in the word count).

Myth 1: There has always been natural variation in Earth’s climate, going back millennia. In fact, before there were humans on Earth, there were periods warmer than we have today. Therefore, today’s climate is just part of natural variations (including variations in the solar cycle) that have always occurred.

Myth 2: Extreme cold weather events, rare snow events, etc. disprove a warming climate. The most notable example came when Senator James Inhofe (Oklahoma) gave a speech on the Senate floor in 2014 where he cited such evidence.

Myth 3: Climate change might be happening but it’s not a big deal (in fact, it might actually have net benefits). People are resilient and adaptable. We can shift crop production north and go on with life essentially “as is”.

Accountability in Healthcare

This assignment will be at least 1500 words. Address each bulleted item (topic) in detail including the questions that follow each bullet. There should be three (3) sections in your paper; one for each bullet below. Separate each section in your paper with a clear brief heading that allows your professor to know which bullet you are addressing in that section of your paper. Include a “Conclusion” section that summarizes all topics.

This week you will reflect upon accountability in healthcare and address the following questions:

Briefly define an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) and how it impacts health care providers:
How do ACOs differ from the health maintenance organizations (HMOs) of earlier years
What role does health information technology (HIT) play in the newer models of care?
What is the benefit of hospitals partnering with primary care providers?
How does bundling payments contain healthcare costs?
How does pay for performance (P4P) improve quality care?
Briefly discuss the value-based purchasing program?
How do value-based purchasing (VBP) programs affect reimbursement to hospitals?
Who benefits the most from value-based reimbursement and why?
How does the VBP program measure hospital performance?

Statistics in the Media Discussion

We hear and see statistics in the news all the time. Examples include statistics about crime rates, children killed by handguns, pool drownings, people struck by lightning, and causes of car accidents. Should we take them at face value? Is it true just because it is in the news?

Another example from the world of advertising:

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), about 38 million Americans still smoke. Cigarette smoking was especially high among males between 25-64 years old. Since 1964, a warning on the side of each pack of cigarettes has informed the public that smoking is bad for human health and may cause cancer or contribute to other diseases. Still, 480,000 Americans will die of smoking this year (CDC 2020). This figure is shockingly high, exceeding the total number of wartime deaths suffered by 405,399 U.S. military in WW II (Green, 2017). For each smoker who dies, 30 more continue to live with a smoke-related disease. Yet, 15.5% of Americans 18 and younger pick up the habit. The CDC estimates that cigarette and smokeless tobacco industries spent over $9 billion on advertising and promotional expenses in the US in 2018 (CDC 2018).

How do company/industry funded studies get us to do things most of us agree are bad for our health? This four minute video on the effects of cholesterol Links to an external site. is a great example of why we replicate studies and why “who funded the study” is so important

Sources:

Locate an article or advertisement that provides statistics in support of its message. Attach the article or advertisement link to your initial post.

  • What is the article or ad trying to say?
  • What statistical data are misrepresented or exaggerated?

Research Poster (125 points)

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) not only lead the way with respect to mortality rates at a global level but also account for the majority of deaths in high-income countries. According to Bashir (2021), the most common causes of death in Saudi Arabia are ischemic heart disease, road injuries, stroke, chronic kidney disease, lower respiratory tract infections, Alzheimer’s disease, conflict and terror, cirrhosis, neonatal disorders, and diabetes mellitus.

Select one of the causes of death listed above, then assemble a research poster specific to your selected topic and how it progressed to a goal in Saudi Vision 2030. Approach the topic as if you are gathering sources to present this research at a conference. Be sure your references address:

  • How is your selected cause of death addressed by Saudi Vision 2030?
  • What are some of the methods in obtaining research and data for shaping KSA policy regarding your selected cause of death?
  • Any challenges to collecting evidence-based information.
  • Health policy laws implementing positive social changes in this area of healthcare.
  • What is the importance of this information?
  • Why is your selected cause of death relevant to your audience or field of study?
  • How is it applicable beyond these contexts?
