Biological Basis & Ethics of Psychotherapy

Biological Basis & Ethics of Psychotherapy

BIOLOGICAL BASIS AND ETHICAL/LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS OF PSYCHOTHERAPY Many studies have found that psychotherapy is as effective as psychopharmacology in terms of influencing changes in behaviors, symptoms of anxiety, and changes in mental state. Changes influenced by psychopharmacology can be explained by the biological basis of treatments. But how does psychotherapy achieve these changes? Does psychotherapy share common neuronal pathways with psychopharmacology? Psychotherapy is used with individuals as well as in groups or families. The idea of discussing confidential information with a patient in front of an audience is probably quite foreign to you. However, in group and family therapy, this is precisely what the psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner does. In your role, learning how to provide this type of therapy within the limits of confidentiality is essential. For this Discussion, you will consider whether psychotherapy also has a biological basis and analyze the ways in which legal and ethical considerations differ in the individual, family, and group therapy settings.

ECHD 303 Lesson Plan

By AssignmentHelp Blog

ECHD 303 Lesson Plan

For this activity, you will write a lesson plan for a group activity, or for an activity with more than one station, which teaches at least one locomotion skill.

Look at all slides, web pages, and videos for the week.

NOTES TO HELP WITH ASSIGNMENT

Teaching Fundamental Movement and Movement Awareness Concepts Fundamental Movement Skills help children develop the use of their muscles and can be divided into three groups: Locomotion Skills – ways of moving the body from one place to another. Stability Skills – moving parts of the body while remaining stable. Object Control Skills – moving to manipulate an object. When teaching movement skills you may choose to focus on one skill the children need to work on. However, you can also focus on more than one skill at a time. For example, you could create an activity where the children hop across the floor (locomotion skill), bend to pick up a bean bag (stability skill) then throw the bean bag (object control skill) across a tape line. Movement Awareness Concepts help children learn to control their movements.

ECHD 303 Lesson Plan

These skills can also be divided into three major groups and multiple skills can be practiced in one activity. Effort Awareness – controlling the timing, the force, and the flow of their movements. Space Awareness – controlling the space, the directions, the levels, and the pathways of their movements. Body Awareness – controlling the parts of their body, moving alone or with others, in various locations, through various roles. For example, the activity described above could also focus on hopping forward (direction) at a sustained (force) medium speed (time), with a group (role). Then throw the bean bag straight (pathway) with their arms and hands (body parts). An observant teacher will note which locomotion skills and which movement awareness skills each child has mastered and which could use more practice. *END OF NOTES*

ECHD 303 Lesson Plan

Review the Sample Lesson Plan with notes on the previous page to see the format and how a lesson plan can be written.
Print the Fundamental Movement Skills and Movement Awareness Concepts tables.
Select at least one Locomotion skill to design a lesson around. Also, select Awareness Concepts.

5.Open the Lesson Plan Template for Physical Activities and fill in the information to describe a developmentally appropriate physical activity lesson. You may describe a learning idea of your own or modify an idea you have seen somewhere else. APA.

The Business of Art

INTRODUCTION: ART, FEDERAL FUNDING AND PHILANTHROPY: 1920S/1930S

The recent recession and an economic downturn due to the pandemic have prompted employees of various professions, including the arts, to take to the streets. Thus studying support for the arts in the Great Depression era is especially interesting, as both governmental and private sponsorship was crucial at a time of hardship. However, both, government agencies and wealthy philanthropists had their own agendas and put their “ideological stamp” on artworks produced, or even censored them.

KEY TERMS

Federal Funding: Federal funds are all monies received directly from the federal government, the expenditure of which is administered through or under the direction of any agency/department.

Philanthropy: generally refers to the goodwill to one’s fellow people, as well as to the active effort to promote the welfare of people. In modern use it refers specifically to the practice of giving money and time to help make life better for others. A person who practices philanthropy is called a philanthropist.

The Business of Art

PART I: ART AND FEDERAL FUNDING IN THE UNITED STATES, 1920S/1930S

The Works Progress Administration (WPA), renamed Work Projects Administration in 1939, was an American New Deal agency that employed millions of people – men, women, and youth – to carry out public works projects. It was set up by presidential order in 1935, as a key part of the second stage of the New Deal programs of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The WPA became the most famous, because it affected so many people’s lives. At its peak, it supplied paid jobs for 3 million unemployed men, women, and youth. Sub-projects were the Federal Writers’ Project, the Federal Music Project and the Federal Art Project (FAP). [See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_New_Deal]

YOUR TASKS FOR PART I

Read: -Alissa Wilkinson: “Artists helped lift America out of the Great Depression. Could that happen again?”(2020): https://www.vox.com/culture/21294431/new-deal-wpa-federal-art-project-coronavirus

Please answer the following questions in about 4-6 sentences each:

The Business of Art

Summarize the main points of Wilkinson’s text.

Explain the role the Federal Art Project, part of the WPA, played for visual artists during the Great Depression and beyond, according to Wilkinson’s text.

After reading Wilkinson’s text, what is your opinion: Should visual artists be supported by the government and can artists help lift up society in times of economic crisis? Explain your opinion.

PART II: MODERN PHILANTHROPY AND THE CASE OF ARTIST DIEGO RIVERA

Diego Rivera (1886-1957) was a famous Mexican Muralist, one of the Los Tres Grandes with David Alfaro Siqueiros and José Clemente Orozco. Rivera was a member of the Mexican communist party and married the much younger painter, Frida Kahlo, as his third wife, who came to international fame in her own right posthumously. After the Mexican Revolution (1910-20), Rivera was commissioned by the Mexican government to paint murals on several public buildings such as the Ministry of Education and the National Palace in the center of Mexico City. After being expelled from the communist party for working for the Mexican government, Rivera took on public and private commissions in various US cities, San Francisco, Detroit, and New York City.

The Business of Art

During his time in the US, accompanied by Kahlo, Rivera found himself again in the crossfire of politics and opposing world views, at odds with both, his left-wing peers and his wealthy patrons.

Edsel Ford (1893-1943) was an American business executive and philanthropist who was the only child of industrialist Henry Ford and Clara Jane Bryant Ford. He was the president of the Ford Motor Company from 1919 until his death in 1943. Ford was one of the most significant art benefactors in Detroit history. As President of the Detroit Arts Commission, he commissioned Diego Rivera to paint the Detroit Industry Murals in the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) in 1932.

Nelson Rockefeller (1908-1979) was an American businessman, philanthropist, and politician who served as the 41st vice president (1974-1977 and 49^th governor of New York (1959-1973). He was a grandson of Standard Oil co-founder John D. Rockefeller and a noted art collector, who was crucial in the planning of the new Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, New York City, in the early 1930s.

The Business of Art

A controversy was caused when Rockefeller commissioned Diego Rivera to paint a large-scale mural for the lobby of the new Rockefeller Center center with the title, Man at the Crossroads in 1933.

Select and answer only EITHER 2) OR 3):

What interest prompted Rivera to accept Edsel Ford’s commission to paint a cycle of 27 panels, Detroit Industries, at the Detroit Institute of Arts (1932/33), depicting the Ford Motor Company? How did Ford’s company directly influence Rivera’s mural designs? Please explain with an example. How was celebrating the auto industry during the Great Depression at odds with his communist ideals?

Briefly explain the controversy that ensued when Rivera painted his mural, Man at the Crossroads, commissioned by Nelson Rockefeller for the lobby of the new Rockefeller Center in New York City. What provoked Rockefeller to dismiss Rivera before the mural was finished and have it destroyed? Why did Rivera defend his original design rather than change it and bow to his patron’s wish?

Where did Rivera eventually repaint the mural under the new title, Man, Controller of the Universe?

Analyzing Sears/Wal-Mart case

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Analyzing Sears/Wal-Mart case

Sears, Roebuck and Co. vs. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

The Sears/Wal-Mart case is a good opportunity for you to dive into financial statements and begin looking closely at corporations. Put yourself in the shoes of Don Edwards, who we learn is a newly hired analyst at a big investment bank. His assignment, as is yours in this case, is to compare Sears and Wal-Mart using the materials that are included with the case study. The topics we will have covered in class will prepare you to effectively evaluate these companies.

My role in this exercise is as your supervisor at the investment bank. I will be reviewing your case write- up as a supervisor might review an analysis you’ve prepared for your job. Ultimately, for this assignment you will be evaluated based on how well you respond to the questions below as well as the thoughtfulness of your overall analysis of the case.

Analyzing Sears/Wal-Mart case

Please address the questions/considerations below in your write-up of the Sears/Wal-Mart case study.

How are the retailing strategies for Sears and Wal-Mart similar? How are they different? Be sure to also look at their financial statements when addressing this question, noting anything that might stand out.
You are told in the case introduction that Don Edwards conducted an ROE analysis and found that Sears’ ROE (22%) was greater than Wal-Mart’s (20%). How might Don/you probe deeper into the companies’ ROE results using any of the financial statement analysis tools from Chapter 4 of the textbook?
For any/all financial analyses you conduct in evaluating the companies, you should be prepared to explain why you choose to perform the particular analysis, what the results of the analysis suggest, and what limitations there might be in using the analysis. Remember, you are writing this to assist Don’s/your supervisor (that’s me!) in determining whether the firm should recommend a buy or sell for the companies.
When you perform the analysis/analyses, be sure to show your math so I can follow how you arrived at your result(s). For instance, if you were to use the Current Ratio in your analysis, and let’s say that current assets = $120 and current liabilities = $100, I would expect you to write your results as follows in the text of your assignment: “The Current Ratio is 1.2 ($120/$100).”

Analyzing Sears/Wal-Mart case

Additionally, I am expecting you to structure your case study assignment with the following sections:

Introduction/Background: Introduce the case and provide brief background details to help setup your analysis. This is also a good time to tell your reader how you plan to
Analysis: Provide data or other analysis to arrive at an informed recommendation or recommendations.
Recommendation(s): Provide the reader with your recommendation(s) based on your well- reasoned analysis from the prior section. Be sure that your recommendation(s) is/are supported by your Analysis section.

Your case study assignment must be formatted using standard font sizing (11), margin sizing (1 inch), and line spacing (not more than double spaced). Assignment length is 5-7 pages. APA.

Accounting Projection NPV Assignment

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Accounting Projection NPV Assignment

You will use the information completed in Case Study: Projections, NPV, Compilation Assignment final document.

Your Case Study: Projections, NPV, Compilation Assignment paper must include

Executive Summary – this should be no more than one page and provide the reader with an overview of what will be contained in the following pages. The problem and strategic solution being recommended should be in this summary. Details for the choice and implementation and data to support the decision should be contained in the following sections.
Alternative strategies (giving advantages and disadvantages for each). There should be at least two alternative strategies identified and discussed.

Projected Financial Statements (Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows) for 3 years into the future. This must be broken down by year into two (2) columns: 1 column without your strategy and 1 column with your strategy. The without column should serve as the basis for your with strategy column and only those financial statement accounts that will be changed, based on your strategy, should be impacted.

Accounting Projection NPV Assignment

Include Projected ratios for the without and with strategy by year. Discuss how these ratios compare and contrast with the historical findings.
Cost Analysis completed on an Excel tab that outlines the cost that will be incurred to implement the strategy. This information should correspond with the With Strategy on the Projected Financial Statements, linking of cells to the financial statements is encouraged.
Net Present Value analysis of proposed strategy’s new cash flow – you may also use Excel to solve for this. From the income statement the change in operating income between your with and without strategy should serve as your cash inflow for each year.

NOTE: To construct the first cash flow (cf1) the new revenue from your strategy(s) must be discounted back to the present value by calculating EBIT (Operating Income on the Income Statement) and that figure will be your cfn for each year. cf0 (initial cost of your strategy), cf1 (discounted cash flow first year), r (opportunity cost of capital, the rate of the next best alternative use of cash/debt/equity resources).

Accounting Projection NPV Assignment

Implementation strategy – how and when will the strategy be implemented, this should outline the who, how, what, and when of the implementation process.
Specific recommended strategy and long-term objectives. Explain why you chose the strategy, discuss the advantages/benefits to organizational success and sustainability. Include a discussion of the challenges or disadvantages that may arise as a result of the strategic choice.
Text must follow this order with current APA level headings for each component. Place the results of the case study analysis in a Word document include matrices as appendices and a reference page. Submit a separate Excel document for your Historical financials, Projections, NPV, and Cost of the strategy. Use APA referencing style.

Scientific Literacy Essay

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Scientific Literacy Essay

Task 2: The Essay
Scientific writing can be quite different from other writing formats that you may have experienced in other non-science or social science classes. In this assignment, you are going to utilize the research on an environmental issue in scientific literature from Task 1 and synthesize that research into a mini-review essay (1200-1500 words).
Learning objectives:
 Effectively research the existing scientific literature
 Convey detailed information about an environmental topic to a non-expert
 Synthesize the current primary academic research and identify key information gaps

 Integrate at least 3 topics from this course (ex. Topic/ Environmental issue:
Elephant extinction. Topics: evolution, climate change, biodiversity, ecosystems of the world)

Scientific Literacy Essay

Your essay should include but is not limited to:
1. Name of the environmental issue
2. Source/ cause of the issue
3. What is the cause of environmental change
4. How to minimize the issue/change
5. Future developments
6. A clear statement of which topics from this course you have integrated

Scientific Literacy Essay

Task 3: Response to Reviewer
Scientific literature is created through a process of peer-review, where colleagues and peers review work to suggest and make changes. One of the most important aspects of effective feedback is that it “feeds forward” on to further assignments. In this case, you will be using the feedback from your peers to update your essay.
In scientific literature, reviewers write a summary about their thoughts on the essay (“The reviewer’s comments”) and based on those comments you are asked to revise a rough draft of your essay before you submit it for grading.
You will have an opportunity to use the peer feedback given and update your essay before submitting it for grading. During this time you can expand the text of your essay to accommodate your updates and changes (for a maximum of 1500 words total). Importantly, this gives you an opportunity to reflect upon and respond to feedback
you’ve been given on your assignment and improve the final copy before you submit. Your Response to the Reviewer task will be graded on how well you give feedback using the feedback form, respond to the feedback, and update your rough draft. A feedback form will be provided as part of your reviewer task. Use APA referencing style.

Scientific Literacy and Communication

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Scientific Literacy and Communication

This assignment consists of three tasks. Each writing task in this assignment connects together in succession to help you gradually build your scientific writing skills from initial research to final revision. Your main goal with these assignment tasks is to create a thorough and thoughtful review of a pressing environmental issue by using the most up-to-date/recent publications in scientific literature.

Your task for this assignment is to research an environmental issue of your choice. There are many issues that cause damage to the environment. The following list is a small selection of these issues. Some examples include:
 Global warming
 Climate change
 Increasing population
 Animal extinction
 Ozone layer depletion
 Deforestation
 Pollution (air/ water/ soil)
 Plastic garbage
 Drinking water and sanitation
 Issues affecting the food industry and agriculture

Scientific Literacy and Communication

You may choose an environmental issue of your choice. You may also select an environmental issue that is not currently on this list. However, make sure that the issue you choose to research has sufficient recent publications before you proceed with your assignment. If you are unsure if the environmental issue you would like to research is
appropriate, please reach out to your instructor.

Task 1: Annotated Bibliography (5%)
The first step to completing a review on a topic is to conduct thorough background research. In an annotated bibliography, you are expected to give a short outline (150 – 200 words) of the identified paper/research. You must include a minimum of five (5) primary academic sources. Your summary should include at least one piece of
information that clearly shows how the article contributes to the point you are trying to make in your final paper (Note: no more than 250 words per source). During this task you will choose one Environmental issue to explore in greater depth. You will then develop an annotated bibliography containing five (5) primary academic
sources and a thesis or topic idea. You may choose to use the template provided or use one of your own formatting.
Your annotated bibliography must use APA 7th Edition and the appropriate uses of formatting and citing.

Scientific Literacy and Communication

What is an annotated bibliography?
An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to sources (books, articles, films, websites, etc.) that you’ve used when researching a topic. An annotated bibliography includes a summary and evaluation of each source usually between 150-200 words. These annotations are written in paragraph form and for the purposes of this class
should include the following information:
1. An explanation of the main purpose of the source
2. A short summary of key findings or arguments of the source
3. The academic/intellectual credentials of the source. Does it appear in peer-reviewed
journals? Is the author someone who has expertise in the area?
4. Are there any shortcomings or biases?
5. The value of this work as a contribution to the topic you’re exploring.
