What is “DRAG”

 

 

1-In developing countries, approximately 2.5 billion people rely on biomass to meet their energy needs.

In your opinion, is it ethical to use cropland for biofuel production in a world where some of the population still does not have adequate food? In 2-3 paragraphs, argue your view on this question.

(Hints: ethical = having to do with right and wrong; 2-3 paragraphs is 8-15 sentences

 

2- In the context of Wind Energy:

What is “DRAG” ?

Why is it an important factor in producing energy from the wind?

Describe 2 ways an engineer designing a turbine blade might be able to decrease drag.

(HINT: The lecture slides or an internet search may be helpful in answering this question)

 

 

3- During class, we listened to the NPR news report called Drought imperils hydropower on Colorado River’s reservoirs. This podcast (available on Moodle) focused on falling water levels at Lake Powell’s Glen Canyon Dam. Reflect back on what you heard OR Listen to the podcast again.

With the Cohen Framework in mind:

1) Describe how the hydropower AND low water levels in the Colorado River might be considered an ECONOMIC issue.

2) Describe how hydropower AND low water levels in the Colorado River might be considered an issue of VALUES.

See Cohen Framework worksheet on the Moodle class page for more information on how to think about environmental issues in terms of the Cohen Framework.

Each response should be approximately 1-2 paragraphs for full credit.

Health History – Building a Health History

 

Review the screening tools found in the Learning Resources and consider how you might use an app or tool to assist in screening. (SEE ATTACHMENT)

Review the media programs related to a vaginal eval, pap test, and breast eval.

Review the health history guide and consider how you would create your own script for building a complete health history.

Provide all the components of a complete gynecologic health history. Include considerations for special populations such as LGBTQ+ individuals. (SEE ATTACHMENT)

What health maintenance guidelines should be included for initial and follow up might be needed for follow-up assessments? (i.e., bone density test, Gardasil vaccine, shingles, etc.)?

What questions would you consider in your patient’s complete health history?

Example, ONLY What is your patient’s living situation? Do they have stairs? Do they live by themselves? Do they have a working refrigerator?

Develop your own script for building a complete health history and as you create your script, consider the difficult questions you want to include in your script. There is no sample template to provide to you. (Utilize chapter 6 of your Schuiling textbook to provide guidance). You are the one to develop the script. Think of it as you are writing a movie and you need to write the script for the movie. What lines would you provide for the actor to utilize when sitting down with a patient to perform a COMPLETE Medical History which also entails those DIFFICULT GYN questions. You do not need to provide the answers to the questions however, if you find that beneficial, you may do so.

Create: (1- to 2-page reflection)

In addition to your script for building a health history for this assignment, include a separate section called “Reflection” that includes the following:

A brief summary of your experiences in developing and implementing your script during your health history.

Explanations of what you might find difficult when asking these questions. What you found insightful and what would you say or do differently.
