for this assignment, assume that, in fact, science has been able to identify the particular gene that is associated with an increased risk of adult antisocial behavior in that persons with this gene are four times more likely to commit a felony from the ages of 18–30 than are persons who lack this gene (call the culprit gene ASF, short for AntiSocial Factor). What should you do with this information? For this task, you may want to research how governments have used genetic information in the past (e.g,, phrenology was routinely used in the 19th century in America and Europe, and has since been discredited).

Specifically, you are to create and justify a policy regarding how this knowledge should be used. Should people be tested for ASF? If they test positive for it, what should be done? It is permissible to answer in the negative: you can argue that people should not test for ASF and should not use that information for policy purposes.

Your response should address the following:

1. Should the government mandate testing for the ASF gene? Why or why not?  
2. Answer the following questions even if you believe that the government should not test for ASF:  
   • If the government does test for the ASF gene, what should be done about people who test positive for the ASF gene? For example, should they be denied a security clearance for sensitive jobs? Explain and justify your position.  
   • What additional conditions or safeguards would you want in place if ASF testing were used?  
   • If a person with the ASF gene is convicted of a crime, should his or her ASF status be considered as part of his or her sentencing? If yes, how so? 
3. Include a title page, abstract, and separate reference page. 

Poster presentations at conferences are effective methods for communicating research findings and providing opportunities to meet with other researchers and clinicians to discuss the research being presented. Thus, these types of conference presentations play a key role in the proliferation of research.

In this week’s discussion, you will be submitting your proposal for the Week Five Virtual Conference. You may utilize relevant assignments from previous courses in this program or suitable projects from your professional life. See the PSY699 Call for Student Poster (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. Presentations document for specific parameters and instructions on how to create your proposal. Following the guidelines presented in the document, create your proposal and attach it to your initial post in the discussion forum. Evaluate the impact participating in conference presentations may have on potential work settings and/or doctoral programs and comment on the following questions in your initial post.

• How are conference presentations professionally relevant?
• What elements of the proposal process were most difficult for you, and why?
• What positive outcomes do you anticipate will come from this process, which may be applied to potential work settings and/or doctoral programs?

BIO 1100 UNIT IV DISCUSSION BOARD QUESTION (02/23)

I have to comment on my classmates discussion board question this is what they wrote:

I reside in Lakeland Florida. My house is on 2.5 acres and in addition to our Great Dane, we also have chickens, and a few cows. I would describe the area where I live as temperate grassland. However, there are a lot of lakes and wetlands in my area (as pretty much the whole state of FL). Alligators, deer, and sand cranes are some of the species that are popular in my area. It seems from what I can remember from when I was younger, wooded areas, strawberry farms, and orange groves are being constructed into new businesses and homes.

Virtual Bypass Surgery

Introduction

Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States. One procedure to treat blockage in the arteries of the heart is bypass surgery. Someone you know may have already had this procedure; however, few people really realize what occurs during the surgery. The following lab will guide you through the steps of a virtual bypass surgery.

Objectives

• Identify the major structures and functions of the cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, digestive, and immune systems.
• Evaluate various risk factors for diseases within body systems.
• Relate homeostatic imbalances to disease states.
• Discuss various treatments, cures, and procedures for common diseases.

After log on to the web, click Pre-Calculus spring 2019

1) Click on the Study Plan Section, then choose Week 7: Rational functions and Inequalities . Complete all the Quiz Me(s). If you take a Quiz Me and don’t get 90%, you must do one practice question completely correct, **all parts!!!!!**.Then the Quiz Me link will be clickable again.

2) after all the Quiz Me(S) are completed, go to Assignments section, scroll down and choose Week 7 : Rational functions and inequalities. There are two quizzes to take for this.

Plz read instruction carefully !!!

plz read this carefully!!!!

a. Choose an essay topic. Your bibliography must reflect the topic of your essay. This will reduce your workload and also get you thinking early about your essay.

b. Compile your bibliography. The number of sources you will need will depend upon your topic, but I recommend that you have no fewer than three and no more than six, beyond those you have chosen from our text. If you find yourself with more your topic is too broad; if you have less, your topic is too narrow to sustain an essay of the required length.

c. Assemble and format your bibliography according to Joseph Gibaldi’s Modern Language Association Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. It is essential to the assignment that you consistently use this bibliographic style.

d. Annotate your bibliography. An annotation is a brief description of the text which summarizes the main issues and indicates the text’s importance to your essay. Each bibliographical entry plus its annotation should be a substantial paragraph. Your entries should be arranged in a recognizable and relevant order, i.e. hierarchically according to importance, chronologically/historically etc. You must provide me with a brief preface to your bibliography (of one paragraph) indicating your essay’s prospective thesis, a justification for the ordering your bibliography and a rationale for including the particular secondary sources you have chosen.

e. Method: how do you go about finding material relevant to your topic? Here are some suggestions for getting started. i. Browsing, on foot in the stacks and via the catalogue. The library terminals enable you to do sophisticated searches—learn to use them! ii. Bibliographies, indexes and footnotes of other books, such as your textbook. iii. Reference books. The library’s reference section has many film reference guides, dictionaries and bibliographies, and the reference staff are very approachable. iv. Periodical indexes. Also available in the library are indexes like the Film Literature Index which lists journal and other articles according to author, filmmaker, subject, film title etc.

TOPICS

1. Film theorists have attributed different political and social functions to cinema. Does cinema inevitably confirm ideology, or can it contest ideology? How and why? Discuss in relation to at least two theorists and use filmic examples.

2. With reference to a specific film, compare and contrast Christian Metz’s and Laura Mulvey’s accounts of voyeurism, fetishism and identification. Which is more useful? How and why?

3. How does the Lacanian mirror stage theorize film spectatorship? Evaluate the success and application of Lacanian psychoanalysis to the writing of two film theorists with respect to cinema.

4. There would seem to be two emphases in the theory of the apparatus. The first looks back into the ways that film theorists have regarded the technical apparatus, and it seeks to analyze the effects and implications of film technology. The other emphasis tends to look toward a psychoanalytic account of cinema. Choose one of these emphases and develop an account of how apparatus theorists generated their arguments.

5. Treating Mulvey’s “Visual Pleasure” as a model for film analysis, develop an analysis of TWO or THREE selected sequences that exemplify the workings of film narrative as Mulvey describes them. What does your analysis allow you to argue?
