Sharing The Research Project

Action research is only valuable in its implementation. Using action research as a springboard for collaboration in an organization, you can initiate positive organizational change that will benefit all stakeholders. Communicating your results effectively is a vital part of any successful research plan.

Write a 250-500 word reflection discussing how the action research process may apply to your future professional practice, which is a public school teacher.

Also, include the following:

  • Brief description of the action plan you propose
  • Overview of the data used to create the action plan
  • The role each stakeholder will play in the action plan and timetable for implementation
  • Expected outcomes and benefits to the organization and the stakeholders

Polluted Cites Assignment

In this assignment, we are going to explore the pollutants found in the air of the world’s major cities and some the affects those pollutants have on the environment.  You will pick a major city (population of at least 1 million) and research its air quality.  Examples of some major world cities:

 

Atlanta                          Rio de Janeiro               Delhi

New York                      Tokyo                           Dhaka

Dallas                           Beijing                          Madrid

Los Angles                    Paris                             Rome

Seattle                          London                         Cairo

Mexico City                   Moscow                        Seoul

Karachi                         Riyadh                          Berlin

Manila                           Sydney                         Cape Town

 

You will include the following information in your final report on your city:

  1. Name of the city
  2. Population of the city
  3. Any topographical/climatic features around the city that contribute to poor air quality. Are there mountains or higher terrain that hold the air pollutants near the ground within the city?
  4. Air quality index (if available for your city)
  5. Levels of:
    1. CO (Carbon monoxide)
    2. NO2 (Nitrogen dioxide)
    3. O3 (Ground level ozone)
    4. SO2 (Sulfur dioxide)
    5. Particulate matter
  6. Pictures showing your cities air quality on “good” air quality days and “bad.”
  7. Effects of the air quality on the local environment
    1. What environmental problems have occurred in the local area?
      1. Include respiratory disease incidence rates
      2. Discuss any issues with acid precipitation
    2. What regulations are in place to help the cities air quality?
    3. A picture or pictures that illustrate the air quality of the city you choose.

Watch the Mitosisvideo to see how the process of mitosis unfolds in the live cell. How does it compare to the static images in the microscope slides? Record your observations to reference later. Clear the bench of all slides and instruments by dragging them back to the shelves, and then return to your course page to complete any assignment for this lab.

Experiment 1: Mitosis in Onion Root Cells

Part 1: Stages of Mitosis

  1. Take a microscope from the Instruments shelf and place it onto the workbench.
  2. Take an onion root slide from the Containers shelf and place it onto the microscope stage. Use different objectives and focus until you can clearly see many cells in one view.
  3. Scan through the slide using the x-axis stage adjust and y-axis stage adjust knobs and find at least one cell in each stage of the cell cycle:
    1. Interphase
    2. Prophase
    3. Metaphase
    4. Anaphase
    5. Telophase
  4. Label images of the specific cell phases. To do so, use the overlay tools at the top of the microscope’s viewscreen.

Your annotated images should look something like Figure 20.04.

Figure 20.04 An Example of Onion Root Cells Labeled with Their Phase of Mitosis  (Macmillan Learning)

  1. Save a screenshot of each annotated image to upload and submit it later.

Part 2: Relative Time Spent in Mitosis

  1. Select one side of the root tip. Scan 5 columns across and 20 cells down within each column. Identify the phase that each cell is in, to the best of your understanding. Use initials for the phases:
    1. I = Interphase
    2. P = Prophase
    3. M = Metaphase
    4. A = Anaphase
    5. T = Telophase
  2. Record a grid of cells that looks something like this to reference later:
I M I I I
I I I I A
I I I P I
I I I I I
T I I I I
  1. Determine the number of cells in each stage of mitosis by counting every incidence of its corresponding letter. For example, add all letter I’s to determine the number of cells in interphase, and so on for each stage. Record this information.
  2. When you are finished, drag the slide back to the Containers shelf.

Experiment 2: Mitosis in a Whitefish Blastula

The cells of a blastula, or developing embryo, divide rapidly, which make this whitefish slide useful for viewing the different stages of mitosis.

  1. Take a whitefish blastula slide from the Containers shelf and place it onto the microscope stage. Make the necessary adjustments to focus in on the cells.
  2. Find at least one cell in this fish embryo to represent each of the phases below.
    1. Interphase
    2. Prophase
    3. Metaphase
    4. Anaphase
    5. Telophase
  3. Label your images of the specific cell phases. To do so, use the overlay tools at the top of the microscope’s viewscreen. Take a screenshot of each annotated image to upload and submit it later.

Experiment 3: Live Mitosis in Cultured Mammalian Cells

  1. Watch the Mitosisvideo to see how the process of mitosis unfolds in the live cell. How does it compare to the static images in the microscope slides? Record your observations to reference later. Clear the bench of all slides and instruments by dragging them back to the shelves, and then return to your course page to complete any assignment for this lab.

Describe why their articles meet the requirements for primary research and comment on their assessment of its potential to inform evidence-based practice. Did they miss anything? If the chosen peer article is not a primary research article, clarify the difference in primary research and the selected article. PRIMARY research studies are those studies that are written by the actual people who conducted the study being shared, not a study that they read about and are commenting on

From a spending model perspective, explain the causes and dynamics of a recession.

Make sure to:

– Consider that recessions seem to demonstrate that expenditures and incomes depend on each other. If markets do not self-adjust, consider how a decline in spending can lead to a negative process that ruins an economy?

-(Consider implications of gaps in the “Keynesian Cross” and/or the “Aggregate Demand/Aggregate Supply Diagram” to illustrate your points.)

– Aggregate Demand/Aggregate Supply Diagram brief introduction (make your own research if you must)

– Keynsian Cross Brief introduction (Make your own research if you must)

Hints — Within your answers, consider the following:

–Identify and summarize the market dynamics triggered by changes in leakages and injections.

–How do measures like GDP, unemployment, and inflation play out in the different scenarios?

–How do propensities and multipliers, and even expectations affect the outcomes in a downturn?
