week 3 1) Discussion Questions; Search online for recent examples of antisemitism around the world. Why is this happening? Are justifications given? Share your information on the discussion page. Find 2 examples; one in the U.S and one global. 2)All But My Life by Gerda Weissmann Klein Study questions pages 1-94 BIELITZ (BIELSKO) 1. What historic event occurred on September 3, 1939? (p.1) What was its immediate effect on the Weissmanns’ lives? What was the Third Reich? 2. On the day of the Nazi invasion, Gerda’s parents ask her to telephone the other family members, but when she does so there is no reply (p. 6). Why not? Where have these people gone? 3.Why do Mr. and Mrs. Weissmann feel “relief and pride” (p. 6) when their children insist on staying with them? 2 4. When one of Arthur’s classmates tells him that young Jewish boys are being murdered in the camps, Arthur says, “Nonsense” (p. 17). Why doesn’t he believe this? 5. Why doesn’t Arthur want his family to accompany him to the station? Why doesn’t he turn around as he leaves the house? (p. 21) 6. What does Gerda’s father have in mind when he says, “Whatever you are thinking now is wrong” (p. 32)? What promise does Gerda make to him at this moment? 7. Why is Gerda not able to summon a doctor the night her father has a heart attack? (p.47) 8. What does Ulla represent to the young Gerda? (p. 48) Why does Gerda decide to learn English, despite the danger of doing so? 9. How are Gerda’s life and character affected by the terrible letter from Erika? What changes have the dreadful events wrought on Erika’s own character? “I want to kill, just kill,” she writes (p. 68- 70). Would you say that acts of hatred engender more hate? 10. Why are Gerda’s parents in better spirits when they arrive in their ghetto apartment? (p. 78) 11. How would you describe the farewell Gerda’s parents take of one another: joyful, sorrowful, or a combination of the two? (p.85) What legacy do they leave the young Gerda? (p.86) 12. Reflecting upon the horrible scene in which families were separated and thrown into trucks, Gerda wonders, “Why? Why did we walk like meek sheep to the slaughterhouse? Why did we not fight back?” (p. 89). What answer does she give? Does that answer seem sufficient to you? What other reasons might there be? 13. Why do you think Merlin threw Gerda back on the truck? (p.91) 3) Reflection notes
Consider 3 possible objectives for a hospital: minimize costs, maximize profits, and maximize net worth. In general, these objectives do not lead to the same optimal solution. Give an example where minimizing cost does not maximize profit. 2. In the HU supply/truck example in the online lecture, instead of shipping medical supplies, imagine that we were shipping fruit (obviously, food is part of any healthcare system) and that the variables represented the number of tons of fruit needed to be shipped from the east coast to the west coast. Now imagine that at each transshipment depot, the fruit must be offloaded and reloaded, resulting in 5% of the fruit being ruined. How would you modify the linear program to account for this loss and still meet the fruit requirements on the west coast? 3. What are the main components of a linear program? (List them all) Extra credit: Worth 2 points, but assignment point total will not go over 50. In healthcare informatics, can you think of any decision variable that could be (or go) negative? Why do you state this/explain?

Hello Buddy hope today is a great day for you. For your Module Two project proposal, you selected a STEM-related issue and picked three or more sources to be used to investigate the issue. You also went through the SIFT method to determine the credibility and validity of one of your sources. For this assignment, you will draft Part One of your project: Research Overview. Using the three or more sources that you identified in the project proposal, you will describe the scientific issue you chose to lawmakers and communicate its importance by providing an analysis of the existing data and information that you gathered. Before working on this assignment, consult the Project Guidelines and Rubric and read the scenario provided. The scenario provides the background for your work on the project. Specifically, you must address the following: Part One: Research Overview In this section, you will describe the issue and relevant parts of data and determine the validity of data related to the issue. You will also describe trends and explain relationships in the data. Provide a brief description of the issue and how it impacts equity in your community. Consider the following questions to guide your response. In plain language, how would you briefly describe the issue to someone who was not familiar with it? What populations might be disproportionately impacted by this issue? Describe the relevant parts of data and information on your chosen scientific issue. Consider the following questions to guide your response. What are the main points supported by the research? What methods, figures/results, and conclusions are supported by the research? Determine the validity of the data and information from your chosen sources on the scientific issue. Consider the following question to guide your response. How current and accurate is the information? Describe the trends in the data on your chosen scientific issue. Consider the following questions to guide your response. How might you describe the trends in the data and information in your sources? Do the trends appear to be positive, negative, stable, or a combination? Describe relationships in the data and information found in your sources relating to your chosen scientific issue. Consider the following questions to guide your response. What connections or associations are present between the variables in the data? How might trends and patterns in data help you in describing those relationships?
respond to the following questions in your own words (never copy and paste), numbering your answers as follows: What methods are used to diagnose plant diseases?

Library Assignment Instructions for Nursing Students Purpose: The purpose of this library assignment is to help nursing students to develop their research skills and to become familiar with different credible data sources available through the Library page at the FNU.edu website. In addition, this assignment will help students to apply the PICOT (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Time) question format to develop a research question and to locate and evaluate scholarly sources. Instructions: Topic Selection: Select a nursing theorist of choice and research him/her. Include a summary of your research and how it correlates to the subject you are studying. Identify their key contribution to nursing and explain its importance in healthcare. Your topic should be broad enough to allow for an in-depth exploration but narrow enough to be manageable within the scope of an 250-500-word (1 page) research paper. Searching for Literature: Use the Library page at the FNU.edu website to search for scholarly sources related to your topic. You must utilize at least 3 scholarly sources that have been published within the last 5 years. You may use databases such as CINAHL, MEDLINE, Embase, Clinical Key, The Cochrane Library. Be sure to use appropriate keywords and to apply search filters to limit your search to scholarly, peer-reviewed articles. Evaluating Sources: Once you have identified potential sources, use the CRAAP test (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose) to evaluate their credibility and relevance to your research question. Be sure to select sources that are relevant to your topic, written by credible authors, and based on rigorous research methods. Writing the Paper: Your research paper should follow APA 7 guidelines and include the following sections: Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion. Be sure to use in-text citations and to include a reference list at the end of your paper. Please keep in mind that the paper will be checked for plagiarism, and similarity above 25% will not be accepted for submission. Grading Criteria: DUE WEEK 6 (2/12/2025) Your research paper will be graded based on the following criteria: PICOT question format (10 points) Use of at least 3 scholarly sources published within the last 5 years (10 points) Credibility and relevance of sources (10 points) APA 7 formatting, including in-text citations and reference list (10 points) Introduction (10 points) Literature Review (20 points) Methodology (10 points) Results (10 points) Discussion (10 points) Conclusion (10 points) Plagiarism (10 points) Total points: 100
