Scandinavia — Worker’s Paradise or Capitalist Haven

Perhaps you’ve “felt the Bern” (Sen. Bernie Sanders) or heard other like sources talk about the Socialist (Worker’s) Paradise to be found in Scandinavia. Most often the focus is on Sweden, though the other two countries sometimes get similar attention. Here’s the gist of it: Scandinavia has given the world a “third-way” economic model referred to as Democratic Socialism that successfully integrates the wealth creation of Capitalism with the social safety net of Socialism. In this model, government grows in size and reach into individual lives and business operations with the associated increase of taxation for both groups. However, the benefits provided by said government outweigh the cost, according to the advocates. These same sources then go on to advocate this model for the United States.

Queen Maha Māyā of sakya — mother of the Buddha Gautama.

The essay is on queen maha Māyā of sakya — mother of the Buddha Gautama. The final product will be investigating the evidence in relation to a female figure from early Buddhism. The goal of the paper is to ask both “what can we know about this figure?” and “how can we know it?” You therefore will be attempting to locate materials about the figure, sorting out what kinds of materials they are, and thinking through what they can tell us. The essay needs to include an annotated bibliography and use at least one primary source(like Lalitavistara Sūtra or something else too) and 2-3 other secondary sources like (Garling, Wendy. 2016. Stars at Dawn: Forgotten Stories of Women in the Buddha’s Life Download Stars at Dawn: Forgotten Stories of Women in the Buddha’s Life. Boulder: Shambhala Publications. [A retelling of women’s stories drawing from primary sources in Pali and Sanskrit. Includes materials on Mahāmāyā, Yasodharā, Sujātā, Mahāpajāpatī, and Kisagotamī.])

Antimicrobial Resistance. Using logistic regression (in RStudios) to investigate variation in the trends for E.coli resistance (to three major antibiotic classes) in European countries

Introduction:
What is antimicrobial resistance? why it is a problem for humans and animal health (one health)? Why E.coli was chosen (as it a hugley common zoonotic pathogen)? why resistance to all 3 antimicrobials is being looked at?

Method:
Gathered the data from https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/surveillance-atlas-infectious-diseases. The method should also specify where the ECDC was able to obtain this surveillance data.

Results:
Have a written script to be used in RStudios.
The script runs fins, gives P values, and Plots the Graphs, so the hard work for the results is done. It just needs writing up.

Discussion:
The main points to hit for the discussion is obviously to reiterate the main findings and objectives. What was found for each of the countries, not all the countries have significant P values so can be ignored.
Why this is important, potential limitations, maybe speculate why the results are as they are, and what more can be done preferably from a one health point of view.
