  • “Expanding the Conversation: Secondary Sources in Support of Primary Arguments” Expanding the Conversation: Secondary Sources in Support of Primary Arguments In my previous essay, I explored the use of language in two primary sources, “Politics and the English Language”

    Hi, This will be an addition to a previous essay you did for me. The professor would like me to Simply try to seek out a few more critic/commentator (“secondary sources”) whose languages  you could use to
    support the basic aims of the existing (more-primary source) languages in each of your current ESSs. 
    And with your  Essay 2 submission, I’d like you to highlight your additions in yellow… so it can be 
    easier for me — when I grade Essay 2 —  to chiefly focus on your “secondary source” additions.  Two or three secondary source quotes will do the trick! 
    ill attach the essay below. please let me know if this is possible thanks

  • Title: “The Detrimental Effects of Social Media on Mental Health: Solutions for a Growing Problem”

    I have written an essay of around 16 pages that explains that social media is negatively affecting mental health, the reasons behind it, and some opposing views.I will send you this essay I want you to write -4 page+ 1 page for sources- essay and explain what could be the solution for this problem. I need something that has a little bit of detail. For example, I don’t need you to write ” making policies.” I need to know the policies and why this is a better solution than, for example, banning social media.

  • Exploring the Dichotomy of Good and Evil in Sula by Toni Morrison

    SULA by Toni Morrison 
    Use specific events and characters from the novel to support the essay. 
    In an interview, Toni Morrison discussed her central character, Sula: “There are strange women in the world. Here and there, now and again they appear: women without a center, a core; women who do not connect with other people. They are evil; they may be charming, frightening, fascinating, repelling, but make no mistake they are classically evil. This is a story about such a woman, Sula Peace.” Do you agree with Toni Morrison’s description of her character? Do you view Sula as the embodiment of “evil?”. Is Nel “good”? Do you think authors should have the last word about the characters they create? Should authors leave the interpretation of the characters they create to the reader? Explain your opinion of the characters Sula and Nel.

  • Title: “Peripheral Arterial Disease in a Patient with Hyperlipidemia and Diabetes Mellitus” The artery that is likely affected in this case is the popliteal artery, which runs behind the knee and is responsible for supplying blood

    In a 300-500 word paper, analyze the following case study
    and respond to the questions below. Remember to use accurate anatomical terms
    in your response. 
    J.S. is a 55-year-old man who is referred to the vascular
    surgeon’s office for right calf pain that starts when he begins to walk fast or
    exercise and is relieved by rest. The lower leg becomes pale. On physical
    examination, the pulses of the dorsum of the foot (dorsalis pedis) and the
    posterior tibialis are very diminished. The surgeon mentioned that this was a
    case of intermittent claudication secondary to peripheral arterial disease
    (PAD). The physician believes the partially blocked artery must be just behind
    the knee. The patient has a history of hyperlipidemia and type 1 diabetes
    mellitus.
    According to your knowledge of the vascular system, what is the name
    of that artery? 
    What are the branches of that artery?
    Based on your knowledge of physiology, why does the pain increase
    with exercise?
    Are hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus related to peripheral
    artery disease? Why?

  • “Reflecting on the Logistics Management Course: Personal Growth and Suggestions for Improvement” Measuring the Impact of Learning Sophisticated Algorithms and Industry-Standard Tools on Logistics Management Performance

    This week you will take time to reflect and discuss your thoughts on the course.
    1. Describe how you feel you improved your knowledge, skills, abilities, and yourself in this class. 
    2. Evaluate the work you did during this class and explain ways you could have performed better.
    3.  Assess the course objectives you still do not understand and suggest how to improve the course to meet those objectives.

    through out the 8 weeks within this course i have found myself to be lacking in a lot of the knowledge i originally thought i had regarding logistics. My concept on what was encompassed in the logistic managerial tasks and requirements was way below what it truly is, but i feel i have gained new knowledge from doing this course. I feel overall i have improved on understanding what it means to lead a logistics company, or at least some of the common issues that many of the logistics managers have to look out for. AS far as skills go, i feel that i have gained the ability to efficiently combat potential shortcomings normally associated with logistics, while maintaining a  standard that many companies would expect.
    When i look at the class work that was required of me throughout this course, the first thought i have is stressful. The papers and discussions where tough on me due to an inability to proficiently get my thoughts and research together. If i had taken more time to get my thoughts together i feel i could have improved a lot of my work, while also making it easier to portray my thoughts to those reading them.
    The objective of this course was clear and understandable. I feel that i was given a lot of helpful information that made reaching the objective learning required simpler. Also i do not feel that the course could have been done any better, because it met all the criteria that it needed to.
    In the future i think i could measure my knowledge by the impact i make within the company i work for. My plan is to take my knowledge to further heights and implement them in the next few classes i will be taking .

    Class, 
    Thank you for sharing with us this week and I hope that you are all excited about knock down another great course. What courses are you all taking next if any?
    Describe how you feel you improved your knowledge, skills, abilities, and yourself in this class. 
    Throughout the logistics management course, I have seen a notable increase in my understanding, proficiency, and aptitude. My knowledge of supply chain dynamics, inventory control, logistics of transportation, and other topics has grown. Through a variety of case studies and real-world situations, I have also refined my analytical abilities, developing my ability to spot inefficiencies and suggest workable fixes. In addition, I’ve become more adept at working in groups, clearly communicating complicated concepts, and making defensible choices under duress. In terms of myself, I’ve grown more meticulous and organized, which are critical qualities in logistics management.
    Evaluate the work you did during this class and explain ways you could have performed better.
    Although I’m happy with the work I’ve completed for this class, there are still certain things I could have done better. Time management is one of the components. I’ve been known to put off doing homework or to not allot adequate time for in-depth investigation and analysis. I could have produced better work and reduced needless stress if I had been more adept at time management. I also could have, early in the semester, actively sought out input from instructors and peers to pinpoint areas that needed work and hone my assignment-writing strategy.
    Assess the course objectives you still do not understand and suggest how to improve the course to meet those objectives. 
    There are still certain course objectives that I’m not sure about. One is using sophisticated optimization methods to make decisions about logistics. Although we discussed fundamental optimization models, I think a further investigation of sophisticated algorithms and their real-world uses will improve our knowledge in this field. Furthermore, I would value having more practical expertise with the industry-standard tools and software for logistics. We would be more equipped to handle real-world data and software platforms in workshops or simulations, which would better prepare us for the practical issues of logistics management.
    List ways you might measure the future effects of what you have learned in this course or your future progress/improvement.
    I could use a few different approaches to gauge how the knowledge I’ve gained from this course and how far I’ve come. First, I could monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) in case studies or within my firm that were connected to the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of logistics. Metrics like inventory turnover, on-time delivery rates, and transportation expenses can be compared between pre- and post-course to determine the real benefit of using new tactics and learnings from the course. I may also ask for input on how well my decision-making and problem-solving abilities work in actual logistics situations from coworkers or superiors. Finally, in order to certify and prove my knowledge in the sector of logistics management, I may look into professional development courses or certificates.
    4. List ways you might measure the future effects of what you have learned in this course or your future progress/improvement.

  • “Adapting Text for Different Genres: The Role of Editors and AI Technology”

    The purpose of this task is to develop skills in transforming, adapting and editing text-types for different genres or contexts of delivery–and to reflect on the editorial skills needed to make these transitions. Adaptation is a skill that all editors require, particularly in the digital age, and this assignment asks you to think carefully about how and why editors (and writers) need to modify texts for different audiences–and the sorts of decisions they make as they engage in the process of adaptation.
    Medium of delivery
    For this assignment, you will need to produce a 1000-word reflective essay that includes:
    a description of the short text you have chosen, its medium (where you found it: newspaper, book, internet, etc.), target audience, and purpose. In other words, who was the original text written for? Where was it published, and what effect was it meant to have on its readers? (approx. 100 words)
    a description of how you developed this short text into a new genre/format. What editorial decisions did you make? Did you change the language, level of formality, tone, etc. Did you punctuate differently or use more images for effect? Did you play around with colour and font? Why? What do these changes say about the new genre? (approx. 300 words–or 1/3 of the assignment)
    a reflection/conclusion on how the textual elements (language, style, formatting) of each genre differ and what must be considered in making successful adaptations.  (approx. 300 words–or 1/3 of the assignment)
    the newly adapted text. Please note the remaining 300 words of the task  (the final 1/3 of the assignment) are allocated to this work, but you might not necessarily write 300 new words. We are allowing word count for the editing effort as well. If you do not use the full 300 words in this section and wish to apply additional words to other sections, that is fine–provided that the assignment does not exceed 1000 words–but not necessary.
    Topic of Reflection
    Unlike previous assignments, where you were considering how editors intervene in the text production process, for this assignment you must revise and edit as a form of adaptation. This assignment asks you to adapt a recent short piece of professional or public writing (tweet, social media post, meme, etc.) from one context to another. Your chosen text should have a recent publication date, i.e., no earlier than January 1 2024, and it should be a short piece of writing, to make the adaptation process easier. The focus here is not so much on the writing, since most of the writing has already been done, but on editing the existing text for a new genre.
    For example, you might draw on a series of social media posts to craft a short speech or media release/public announcement on the same topic. Or, you could adapt a short section/paragraph of a professional article into a poster that features mainly images. Or you might adapt a paragraph of your favourite book into a format suitable for children. You might adapt a Facebook post into a tweet or an email into a text.
    You should use the information from the original source for the content of your submission, but you can work creatively with additional visual, design, or other elements to achieve the adaptation. You may also need to reword the original text slightly (or change its tone) to ensure the content is appropriate for the new genre.
    You should consider, too, whether/how AI technology can be used to help editors adapt texts across genres. Can a machine replace a human being? How might editors use AI for purposes of adapting text from one genre to another? What might they ask AI technology to produce on their behalf? You might include these considerations in the reflections section (on what must be considered in making successful adaptations) or in a brief concluding statement. There is no need for an elaborate discussion. One or two sentences will suffice to demonstrate your awareness of AI in the editing process.
