OPTION #1:THE COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN: WRITTEN REPORT AND SLIDE PRESENTATION Your Portfolio Project for this class is a Community Action Plan designed to alleviate or correct a public-health issue in your community. Your community can be your business, school, neighborhood, town or city of residence or birth, or county. For option 1, your Community Action Plan will be a professional portfolio that includes a written report and a slide presentation. Below are some useful sites where you can find examples of the elements of an action plan. https://www.epa.gov/community-port-collaboration/community-action-roadmap-overview (Links to an external site.) http://www.cityofchicago.org/dam/city/depts/cdph/tobacco_alchohol_and_drug_abuse/LGBTCommunityActionPlanHC.pdf (Links to an external site.) https://smartgrowthamerica.org/program/national-complete-streets-coalition/ (Links to an external site.) https://www.aecf.org/m/e2s/e2s-action-plan-template.pdf (Links to an external site.) https://sanpabloca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5537/CAP-only-22-pages?bidId= (Links to an external site.) https://uknowledge.uky.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=1018&context=ced_reports (Links to an external site.) Preliminary Deliverables: These deliverables must be submitted in the assigned week: Week 2: Written Response and Project Selection (10 points): Provide a brief one-paragraph response indicating which assignment option and public-health issue you have selected and why. This will help your instructor to be aware of your plans and support you with development of this project. Upload your response as a Word document. Week 7: Preliminary Written Report (50 points) and Peer Review Feedback (25 points) Submit a preliminary (rough) draft of the written portion of your Portfolio Project as well as proof of peer review. Remember to include the following sections in your report: introduction, symptoms, diagnosis, cure, prevention, timeline, and summary. Peer review feedback is also required for this assignment. Create a post that includes your written report as an attachment using the Portfolio Project Milestone discussion forum for peer review feedback. Then provide feedback to at least one of your classmates. Choose a classmate with no other feedback first to ensure that everyone receives some feedback from their peers. In this preliminary draft submission, indicate which project you responded to. Final Paper Instructions: The case study, with five sections (Symptoms, Diagnosis, Cure, Timeline, and Prevention). Each section should be about a page in length. Your entire paper must be 4-5 pages in length not counting the title or reference pages, which must be included. Your paper must follow the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.). In the Symptoms section, describe the public-health issue that you have observed in your community. What “symptoms” does it exhibit? Think about whom it affects, where it affects them, and how (Refer back to module 5 CT 1). In the Diagnosis section, discuss the causes of the issue, and give examples of other communities that have suffered the same problem. How did those communities solve or attempt to address the issue? In the Cure section, discuss possible options for a cure for this public-health issue. How can you get rid of it, or reduce its occurrence in your community? In the prevention section, discuss possible options for prevention of the public-health issue that you have selected. How can you reduce the chance of people being impacted by your issue in the future? In the Timeline section, discuss the time needed for campaigning, education, funding, building, and implementation. You must back up your sections using at least two scholarly articles. You may use readings other than the textbook to meet this requirement. The paper should be based on references to scholarly materials (rather than on introductory textbooks, popular website writings, or musings, for example) and should support your claims with evidence. Incorporate into this final plan any classmates’ critiques that you found useful as well as your instructor’s feedback. The key community members or partners that you plan on contacting, with an explanation why these individuals or organizations make sense as potential partners. This could include partners from your list of potential partners created in week 4 Critical Thinking Assignment Option #1, or your interview of one key partner completed in week 4 Critical Thinking Option #2. Incorporate them into a discussion of your plan, do not just list them. A special emphasis on either the demographics of the affected population or the economic implications, depending on what Critical Thinking assignment you completed for week 5. A realistic timeline for your plan. Discuss the time needed for campaigning, education, funding, building, and implementation. Use ideas created during week 6 Critical Thinking Assignments, either the option for annotated bibliography or that for the brainstorming draft feedback. The paper shall comply with the requirements defined within the CSU Global APA guidelines. Refer to the Portfolio Project rubric for grading criteria. Final Instructions for Slide Presentation: The slide presentation describes the problem in your community and your action plan. Your presentation must be 8-10 slides in length not counting the title and reference slides. Your presentation must be supported by at least two scholarly articles. You may use a Web-based slide presentation software such as Prezi, for example, or you may use PowerPoint. If you use a Web-based tool, include the URL to your presentation in a Word document and upload with your presentation. The audience for this presentation will be community members or organizations you wish to educate about the public-health issue and your proposed plan. The purpose of this slide presentation is to educate the audience about the issue. Keep in mind that in real life you will have limited time to convince people of the gravity of the situation and to come on board with their support, so you want to be persuasive and get to the key points quickly and effectively. Note: Be sure to submit both your written report and your slide presentation for this assignment. Both files should be uploaded in a single submission to the assignment submission page. The paper and preliminary deliverables must be well written and formatted in conformity with the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.). Review the Sample PowerPoint Presentation (Links to an external site.) (linked at the bottom of the page) in the CSU Global Library as well.

Part IQuestion 1: Part A Reproductive AdaptationsConsider the variation in reproductive systems within the animal kingdom. These are discussed in the textbook readings. Select 1 or 2 traits and compare and contrast the human situation with other members of the animals kingdom. Two examples of traits are sexual reproduction and menopause.Part BDescribe the development of the human embryo from the formation of the zygote to the point where the three embryonic germ layers develop. List the types of adult tissues that are derived from each of these germ layers. Be prepared to discuss how disruption early in development can cause major problems in the body of the developing individual.Your discussions must be informed by the textbook.Part IIHomeostasis EssayAssignment 2: HomeostasisThe minimum length for this assignment is 1,500 words. Be sure to check your Turnitin report for your post and to make corrections before the deadline to avoid lack of originality problems in your work.The maintenance of homeostasis is of major importance to all organ systems in the body and the overall survival of the individual. Explain how homeostasis is the maintenance of a dynamic range of environmental qualities rather than holding the internal environment at a set point. What would be wrong with a set point (say for body temperature) rather than a working range of temperatures?The endocrine system is closely tied to homeostasis functioning. Give two examples of hormones (including their glands of origin and action) that play major roles in homeostatic processes in the body. What happens if these hormones are disrupted in their actions?Also, look at how we adapt to survival in the outside world. Discuss how maintaining homeostasis gives us greater freedom of activity from dependence upon changes in the external environment. What happens during extremes that force our bodies out of homeostatic bounds? Give specific examples.Why is the maintenance of homeostasis especially important during development of new humans within the bodies of their mothers? What can go wrong if specific homeostatic functions are disrupted?

In a two-page paper, identify the physics principles contained within the following scenario. Explain how these principals connect to Einstein's theory of relativity or in modern applications in physics. If you use a GPS option on your car or a mobile device, you are using Einstein's theory of relativity. Finally, provide another example from your own experience, then compare and contrast your scenario to the provided example below. SCENARIO Mandy took a trip to Rome, Italy. She gazed out over the open ocean 20,000 feet below as her airplane began its descent to her final destination of Rome. It had been a long flight from New York to Rome, but as she stretched, and her bones creaked as though she was old, she knew that in fact, she was a tiny bit younger than her compatriots back home, thanks to traveling at hundreds of miles per hour. In fact, time for her was running slowly compared to her friends in New York for two reasons: the speed at which she had traveled and the height of the airplane above the Earth. Neither, though, were noticeable.
