How do the orexins, leptin and ghrelin work together to control appetite?

/in /by

What are the molecules that control appetite? (hint: next sentence) How
do the orexins, leptin and ghrelin work together to control appetite? Which cells are responsible
for producing these molecules and what are the molecular pathways that are activated? Identify
the targets and how the signaling pathways are regulated. Which molecules oppose appetite and how do they suppress the craving for food? You may need to consider not only the signaling
pathways but the neural pathways as well.
This is the topic, these questions need to be addressed in the research paper.

Describe the Categorical Imperative, making clear what Kant means by a maxim, and how he thinks our maxims can be made compatible with the categorical imperative.

/in /by

Answer one of the following two questions. The assignment should be approximately 1-2 pages long. It should be typed, double spaced, with a 12 point font and with at least a 1 inch margin. There is no need to give these a formal paper structure with an introduction and conclusion, etc.; go straight into the topic. Criticisms and examples may be derived from any source, but please fully cite sources from outside of the class materials. If you choose to do this assignment as your first short paper, it is due Mar 19th on Moodle before class begins.

1. Kant’s Categorical Imperative is a general moral principle: Kant claims that in order to be morally good, our maxims must be compatible with it. a) Describe the Categorical Imperative, making clear what Kant means by a maxim, and how he thinks our maxims can be made compatible with the categorical imperative. Use an example of a moral choice that illustrates how this can be done. b) Does using Kant’s categorical imperative always give us the right answer to which actions are acceptable, forbidden, required or supererogatory? Describe a case where it appears to give the wrong answer.

Fully describe the overall concepts of homeland security and homeland defense.

/in /by

1) Fully describe the overall concepts of homeland security and homeland defense. Construct a response that provides the following related to both homeland security and homeland defense:

Primary missions, tasks, responsibilities, operations, etc. for:
Homeland Security and
Homeland Defense.
Highlight those areas that are shared between the two (what overlaps between HLS and HLD?)
Lastly, recommend a definition for homeland security.
2) Using the overarching themes of the National Security Strategy from 2017, provide your own recommendation for new National Strategy for Counterterrorism (it must be nested under the NSS according to the principle of strategic hierarchy). What key elements and focus areas would you suggest for the part of a new CT strategy that is domestic focused (homeland security, not overseas), and make sure to use the Ends, Ways, and Means strategy framework.

Note: You should be aware of the fact that “homeland security” is made up of much more than just DHS. That agency is only one part of a larger Homeland Security Enterprise that includes [DHS] Departmental leaders and components [the 7 field agencies including USCG, CBP, ICE, USSS, etc], state, local, tribal, territorial and private sector partners and others. Also remember there are many other essential federal agencies that play a role in HLS, such as the very important DOJ where the FBI is the lead agency for countering terrorism in the US (not DHS).
