It is important to understand that the cause of all mental retardation (MR) – Intellectual Disability is NOT genetic in nature. While some MR

is because of genetics such as Tay-Sachs, Down’s, Fragile X, etc. there are others that are caused by environmental factors such as alcohol,

lead, trauma, neglect, abuse, etc.

Individuals who are on the Autistic Spectrum do not necessarily have MR — it is altogether a different diagnosis. In fact, there are those who

are on the spectrum who have high IQ’s.

There is a wide variety within the ASD category since the DSM 5 changed the criteria for those on the spectrum. There are some great resources

online that will help you to differentiate between the two diagnoses. Hope this helps. Dr. G.

M4 Discussion – Stress from A to Z
This discussion board has 3 parts:

Part A:
Hans Selye and Richard Lazarus have both proposed theories which explain stress. In reflecting on the theories, which do you believe is most

accurate and why? Please use examples to support your statements.

Park B:
What role does the nervous system play in the physiology of stress? Please pick one stressor in your life and explain the process that your body

goes through in reacting to the stressor. Please be sure to provide details to support your statements.

Part C:
Please pick a stressor and identify one effective problem-focused and one emotion-focused coping strategy to address this specific stressor. Support

your response using examples and concepts from the course materials.

In your response, you should compare/contrast ideas, assess the value of theories, verify evidence, and make choices based on reasoned arguments

supported by cited information from the text. Cite your sources using APA style.

Reminder:
This is a Q and A Moodle forum: all you will see, initially, is your instructor’s initial post, which is required in order to enable the forum for

you. You will not be able to see your classmate’s contributions until you make your initial post answering the questions posed. This initial post

must be submitted as a reply to your instructor’s post.

Please review the Discussion Board Rubric that will be used to assess your work.

Therapy: An International Journal, 26(3), p. 319-335, 17p.

“Bowen contended that the effects of stress are moderated by differentiation of self, such that high levels of stress would have more impact on

individuals lower in differentiation as compared to individuals higher in differentiation in predicting dysfunction. We tested this hypothesis and

also assessed the relations among stress, coping, differentiation of self, and dysfunction.”

“We summarize recent research on the psychological processes implicated in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as an aid to evaluating theoretical

models of the disorder.”

The Task
Which is bigger, The Big One or Oblivion?
Using differentiation find the difference between maximum and minimum heights for both the roller coasters.

The height of the Oblivion coaster can be determined for 10 seconds after the coaster comes out of a loop by this polynomial

Calculate maximum and minimum heights using differentiation then draw the graph (by hand)
Confirm the factors of the Oblivion Coaster using factor theorem.

The brochure for The Big One coaster says that the height of the coaster can be determined by this polynomial model for the first 10 seconds

Calculate maximum and minimum heights using differentiation then draw the graph (by hand)

Compare the underground areas using the Trapezium rule and then confirm the areas using definite integration.

 

“Going Green” Supply Chain

Directions (Research Paper)
Be sure to include the value and benefits “green” logistics brings to business and customers; provide a case study example of an aviation company
8 pgs (not including title or reference pages)
Need at least 7 resources: 2 from Hunt Library database
APA 6 format
For content in your research project Think 5 W’s, Who, What, When, Where, Why and How.
Create questions that answer each W and you have a solid start on the project. You don’t have to use the 5 W’s; it’s just a good way to get started.

Then you can focus on expanding what you have in a direction that interests you or expands the topic.
Example of the Who:
Who does it benefit?
Who should care about it?

Problematic Drugs
Compare and contrast the following, by addressing all three subquestions in your initial post:

For week 1 of Module 3 (this is week 5 of class), please address this question. We will address the second question for Module 3 in week 2 (week

6 of class).

In your opinion what do a majority of adolescents believe are the most problematic (problem causing) drugs to use? What do they base their

opinions upon?
What do you think their parents or guardians identify as the most problematic drugs to use? Why do they think this is true?
What do you believe to be the most problematic drug(s) for adolescents? What do you base this opinion upon?
Please remember to respond to at least two other people’s postings. All posts must be thoughtful and relevant.

Some Best Practices for effective online discussion:

Do not simply state “I agree” or share a personal story about yourself or others.
Make your reply relevant and connect to the specific course readings or peer-reviewed research studies you have read
Focus on specific details from your reading, a case study, an additional article you read, etc. that can enrich your discussion post and

generate new questions
A well written discussion post should provide fellow students with the opportunity to reflect deeply, to reflect on their experience, to

research and analyze your ideas, and expand upon your initial ideas or questions.
