Section E: Change Model

/in /by

In 500-750 words (not including the title page and reference page), apply a change model to the implementation plan. Include the following:

  1. Rogers’ diffusion of innovation theory is a particularly good theoretical framework to apply to an EBP project. However, students may also choose to use change models, such as Duck’s change curve model or the transtheoretical model of behavioral change. Other conceptual models presented such as a utilization model (Stetler’s model) and EBP models (the Iowa model and ARCC model) can also be used as a framework for applying your evidence-based intervention in clinical practice.
  2. Apply one of the above models and carry your implementation through each of the stages, phases, or steps identified in the chosen model.
  3. In addition, create a conceptual model of the project. Although you will not be submitting the conceptual model you design in Topic 5 with the narrative, the conceptual model should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

Upon receiving feedback from the instructor, refine “Section E: Change Model” for your final submission. This will be a continuous process throughout the course for each section.

1) DISCUSSION QUESTION

Part 1: Post a Response

Our focus this week is on ecology. Ecology is the study of interactions among organisms and between organisms and their physical environments. Watch the video entitled “Some animals are more equal than others…” found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1142&v=hRGg5it5FMI. Then address the following two issues:

  • Why do you think that many keystone species are predators at the top of the food chain in their respective ecosystems?
  • What do you think is the most interesting or significant facet of the video?

2) PEER REVIEW #1 (JESSICA)

Hello Dr. Cox and Class,

Why do you think that many keystone species are predators at the top of the food chain in their respective ecosystems?

Keystone species as these species have the capacity of ensuring the balance of the ecosystem by controlling the number of herbivores found in an ecosystem. These predators play a role in regulating the ecosystem. These predators at the top of the food chain when you remove the predator from ecosystem it affects this ecosystem. The species decrease as one species pushes out other herbivores. This keystone species guarantees healthy completion between the various species therefore ensuring a balance in this ecosystem by limiting the domination of any one species.

What do you think is the most interesting or significant facet of the video?

The most interesting facet of the video is the manner that ecologist Robert Paine actions to remove Starfish from this ecosystem led to the domination of the muscles in this ecosystem. The Starfish exclusion identified the role that keystone species play in ensuring that the ecosystem is diverse by limiting the domination of one species. The Starfish was identified as a marine keystone species through the impact it had on the population sizes of other species. Therefore, the removal of the keystone results in the collapse of the ecosystem.

3) PEER REVIEW #2 (SHERRY)

Hello Professor and Classmates,

Why do you think that many keystone species are predators at the top of the food chain in their respective ecosystems? From my understanding of these keystone species I believe that the keystone species not only assist but guarantees healthy relationships amongst these different species, in other words, ensuring a well-established balance in the ecosystem by limiting the strength and domination of anyone specific species.

What do you think is the most interesting or significant fact of the video? The most interesting fact from the video to me is how ecologist Robert Paine demonstrated by removing the starfish species that resulted in major failure within the ecosystem.

American Public Policy Competence in Public Health Discussion

/in /by

According to the Council on Education for Public Health, public health practitioners ought to be competent in the following areas of health policy:

• Discuss multiple dimensions of the policy-making process, including the roles of ethics and evidence

• Propose strategies to identify stakeholders and build coalitions and partnerships for influencing public health outcomes

• Advocate for political, social or economic policies and programs that will improve health in diverse populations

• Evaluate policies for their impact on public health and health equity

Given your experience in this course, why are these competency areas important? Which competency areas have we addressed in this course? How do you plan to supplement your learning in this course in order to address these competency areas? Which resources or learning opportunities would you recommend to other emerging public health practitioners in order to gain competency in the areas listed above. Please support your recommendations with ample evidence.

ALL FORUMS

Initial Response: Initial responses should be no less than 200 words in length not including your reference(s) and supported by at least two academic/scholarly peer-reviewed references. Please be aware that just “cutting and pasting” sections of articles (in lieu of writing an original initial post) is not acceptable and will negatively impact your grade.

Albany Schoharie Schenectady BOCES Healing and Autonomy Case Discussion

/in /by

This assignment will incorporate a common practical tool in helping clinicians begin to ethically analyze a case. Organizing the data in this way will help you apply the four principles of principlism.

Based on the “Case Study: Healing and Autonomy” and other required topic study materials, you will complete the “Applying the Four Principles: Case Study” document that includes the following:

Part 1: Chart

This chart will formalize principlism and the four-boxes approach by organizing the data from the case study according to the relevant principles of biomedical ethics: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice.

Part 2: Evaluation

This part includes questions, to be answered in a total of 500 words, that describe how principalism would be applied according to the Christian worldview.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

/in /by

Before building a new power plant, a utility company must gain permission and procure the required permits for construction from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). At this time, the policy of the EPA is to limit construction of power plants to clean burning natural gas systems (to reduce emissions of CO2). One result of this policy is the reluctance of utility companies to build new power plants. California has recently experienced serious problems with their ability to provide enough electricity for its residents because of this reason. One result of this problem is that utility rates in California jumped 500% to 600% in a one-year period.

With the above information in mind, write a short essay of at least 1 page discussing pros and cons of this EPA policy. Be sure to keep in mind things like environmental impacts but also issues relating to social impacts due to higher electrical prices. Submit your paper to the appropriate folder in the Dropbox area of the course.
