Explains several common concerns about vaccinations and gives some scientific explanations about how vaccines work in response to those concerns.

Read the following blog post article.

Vaccines 101:

Too Much Too Soon? by Dr. Alison Shuman on TheScientificParent.org

Then, post a response to the following questions:

The author explains several common concerns about vaccinations and gives some scientific explanations about how vaccines work in response to those concerns.

briefly summarize the author’s answer to the common question, “There are so many more vaccines than when a kid, and now they combined some of them into one shot…doesn’t that increase the risk of bad reactions? Can’t that overwhelm my baby’s system? Isn’t this too much too soon?”.

At the minimum, you should explain what antigens and antibodies are and what they do.
Are there other concerns you think people might have about vaccines that are not addressed by this article?

If so, what is the concern?
In conclusion, do some brief research either on the internet or through your library’s resources to find evidence that supports or refutes either the concern you brought up in point #2 or any of the other concerns discussed in the blog/article.

This need not be extensive but should include a couple sentences mentioning what you found with either a link to the web page or an attachment of the article you found.

Your response should be 500 words and include APA style reference to the book; podcasts or other material.

Provide a supporting set of toolkit results summary (including key results and themes) and selection tools as evidence of module engagement and skill development.

Academic and Career Development

Description

This is resit assignment:

See feedback

Overall a reasonable attempt. There was no title for section 1 so it was not clear what you were writing about. Some of the narrative could have been reduced and add reflective statements as you go along.

Your chosen career plan was non existent with no supporting evidence , neither were there any reflective self assessments. Therefore very low marks.

Section 3 was very poorly answered.

1. Undertake a critical review of the literature regarding

‘employability’. Consider the current market place for graduates and choose a career path informed by career theory” (up to 1.400 words, worth of 35%).

(Part 1, Use the attached template 1 for details on content and recommended structure);

2. Informed by part 1, provide a theoretically informed detailed personal career plan based on a reflective self-assessment of your knowledge, skills and abilities mapped against your prospective employer requirements and job role (up to 1.600 words, worth of 40%).

(Part 2, Use the attached templates to structure the content);

3. Provide a supporting set of toolkit results summary (including key results and themes) and selection tools as evidence of module engagement and skill development.

(Part 3 Use the attached template 3a to structure the content (25%).

Important note:

You must retain a copy of all your completed toolkits as your Tutor may ask to view your ‘working documents’.

For further guidance on relevant content to structure parts 2 and 3 see enclosed templates with notes provided in red.

Your portfolio of evidence will throughout consistently focus on:

1. Upon completion of your education you will look for a graduate position at a targeted company (the graduate position may also be at your company, if you are taking this degree to progress your career, whilst in employment).

Describe what effect this technology has on society and the environment (for example: photo radar helps prevent vehicular accidents and reduces fuel consumption associated with excessive speeding).

Lidar guns

A detailed report on lidar guns Using the Internet, submit a research report outlining the kinematics involved in motion detectors designed and built into vehicles on the road today. Be sure to provide details on how the technology works.

Describe what effect this technology has on society and the environment (for example: photo radar helps prevent vehicular accidents and reduces fuel consumption associated with excessive speeding).

What can be said about the value of the dependent variable for values of the independent variable that are outside the range of the sample values? Explain.

Introduction
Your instructor will provide you with a data file that includes data on five variables:

SALES represents the number of sales made this week.

CALLS represents the number of sales calls made this week.

TIME represents the average time per call this week.

YEARS represents years of experience in the call center.

TYPE represents the type of training the employee received.
Part A:

Exploratory Data Analysis
Preparation

• Open the files for the course project and the data set.

• For each of the five variables, process, organize, present and summarize the data. Analyze each variable by itself using graphical and numerical techniques of summarization. Use Excel as much as possible, explaining what the results reveal. Some of the following graphs may be helpful:

stem-leaf diagram, frequency/relative frequency table, histogram, boxplot, dotplot, pie chart, bar graph. Caution: not all of these are appropriate for each of these variables, nor are they all necessary.

More is not necessarily better. In addition be sure to find the appropriate measures of central tendency, the measures of dispersion, and the shapes of the distributions (for the quantitative variables) for the above data. Where appropriate, use the five number summary (the Min, Q1, Median, Q3, Max). Once again, use Excel as appropriate, and explain what the results mean.

• Analyze the connections or relationships between the variables. There are ten possible pairings of two variables. Use graphical as well as numerical summary measures. Explain the results of the analysis. Be sure to consider all 10 pairings. Some variables show clear relationships, while others do not.

Report Requirements

• From the variable analysis above, provide the analysis and interpretation for three individual variables. This would include no more than 1 graph for each, one or two measures of central tendency and variability (as appropriate), the shapes of the distributions for quantitative variables, and two or three sentences of interpretation.

• For the 10 pairings, identify and report only on three of the pairings, again using graphical and numerical summary (as appropriate), with interpretations. note that at least one pairing must include a qualitative variable and at least one pairing must not include a qualitative variable.

• Prepare the report in Microsoft Word, integrating graphs and tables with text explanations and interpretations. Be sure to include graphical and numerical back up for the explanations and interpretations. Be selective in what is included in the report to meet the requirements of the report without extraneous information.

• All DeVry University policies are in effect, including the plagiarism policy.

• Project Part A report is due by the end of Week 2.

• Project Part A is worth 100 total points. See grading rubric below.

3 Mean calls made among those with no training is at least 145

4. Mean time per call is 14.7 minutes

• Using the same data set from part A, perform the hypothesis test for each speculation in order to see if there is evidence to support the manager’s belief. Use the Eight Steps of a Test of Hypothesis from Section 9.1 of your text book as a guide. You can use either the p-value or the critical values to draw conclusions. Be sure to explain your conclusion and interpret that to the claim in simple terms

• Compute 99% confidence intervals for the variables used in each hypothesis test, and interpret these intervals.

• Write a report about the results, distilling down the results in a way that would be understandable to someone who does not know statistics. Clear explanations and interpretations are critical.

• All DeVry University policies are in effect, including the plagiarism policy.

• Project Part B report is due by the end of Week 6.

• Project Part B is worth 100 total points. See grading rubric below.

B. Appendix with the calculations of the Eight Elements of a Test of Hypothesis, the p-values, and the confidence intervals. Include the Excel formulas or spreadsheet screen shots used in the calculations.
Final Project: Regression and Correlation Analysis

Use the dependent variable (labeled Y) and one of the independent variables (labeled X1, X2, and X3) in the data file. Select and use one independent variable throughout this analysis. Use Excel to perform the regression and correlation analysis to answer the following. The week

6 spreadsheet can be helpful in this work.

1. Generate a scatterplot for the specified dependent variable (Y) and the selected independent variable (X), including the graph of the “best fit” line. Interpret.

2. Determine the equation of the “best fit” line, which describes the relationship between the dependent variable and the selected independent variable.
3. Determine the correlation coefficient. Interpret.

4. Determine the coefficient of determination. Interpret.

5. Test the utility of this regression model by completing a hypothesis test of b=0 using α=0.10. Interpret results, including the p-value.

6. Based on the findings in steps 1-5, analyze the ability of the independent variable to predict the dependent variable.

7. Compute the confidence interval for b, using a 95% confidence level. Interpret this interval.

8. Compute the 99% confidence interval for the dependent variable, for a selected value of the independent variable. Each student can choose a value to use for the independent variable (use same value in the next step). Interpret this interval.

9. Using the same chosen value for part (8), estimate the 99% prediction interval for the dependent variable. Interpret this interval.

10. What can be said about the value of the dependent variable for values of the independent variable that are outside the range of the sample values? Explain.

Assignment: Controversy Associated with Personality and Paraphilic Disorders

Assignment: Controversy Associated with Personality and Paraphilic Disorders
Between 10% and 20% of the population experience personality disorders.

They are difficult to treat as individuals with personality disorders are less likely to seek help than individuals with other mental health disorders. Treatment can be challenging as they do not see their symptoms as painful to themselves or others.Paraphilic disorders are far more common in men than in women, and generally quite chronic, lasting at least two years. Treatment of these disorders usually involves both psychotherapeutic and pharmacologic treatments.In this Assignment, you will explore personality and paraphilic disorders in greater detail. You will research potentially controversial elements of the diagnosis and/or treatment and explain ethical and legal considerations when working with these disorders.
To Prepare Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide on assessing, diagnosing, and treating personality and paraphilic disorders.

Select a specific personality or paraphilic disorder from the DSM-5 to use for this Assignment.

Use the Walden Library to investigate your chosen disorder further, including controversial aspects of the disorder, maintaining the therapeutic relationship, and ethical and legal considerations.

What are the arguments for and against an airline company hedging its fuel risk?Based on this, would you advise Ryanair to continue on hedging its fuel price risk?

Corporate Finance: Should airlines hedge out their fuel price risk?

Description

So Ryanair lost on its oil price hedge but this was offset by a gain on its currency hedge.

The recent past is littered with examples of airlines that have lost significant amounts on hedging out their fuel price risk. The article by Rivers (2012), available below as core reading, describes many of these causalities.

This has led many to question whether hedging really adds value for an airline.read the articles suggested below that look at the problem from slightly different angles but come up with a similar conclusion.

Address the following questions:

What are the arguments for and against an airline company hedging its fuel risk?

Based on this, would you advise Ryanair to continue on hedging its fuel price risk?
