For “Turning the Tide” assignment, you have been assigned a specific country, and all your report will focus on this country. Each report should be 2-3 pages long and will be related to the topic being covered that week. The Turning the Tide assignment will be on:

You will use the GBD data visualization tools(https://vizhub.healthdata.org/gbd-compare/) to identify temporal trend in DALY (1990 vs 2015) associated with the aforementioned topics.  You will look at the historical trend and explore what might have contributed to the observed trend in DALY associated with the specific risk factor or disease outlined above. You will compare your country’s DALYs to that of China and discuss the similarity/differences.  China is chosen as a reference country because China has managed to make significant stride over the past few decades in addressing these issues. Finally, you will come up with set of policy recommendations or changes that you think will contribute to additional improvements and lead to reduction in DALYs related to these risk factors/diseases in the country you are assigned.   Your report (2-3 page) should include:

• Abstract/Summaray – Clearly summarizes the intro, results, and discussion/conclusion in short (≤100 words)
• Introduction– what does your topic mean/ how it is impacting health/ what it means to you? What are the underlying causes?
• Results– Use the data visualization tools outlined in the syllabus (GBD compare, gapminderetc) to describe how the identified risk factor is impacting the population, how are DALYs affected by the specific risk factor, and how they compare with the neighboring countries/ Distinct trends observed?
• Discussion/Conclusion-Interpreting the results/ potential reasons behind the distinct trends or how the results compares to China/ neighboring countries? Is the country doing better or worse? Policy recommendations so your country does better in the future.

• Brief background (what is the main problem under consideration? Why should we care?)
• Results/Discussion (What did you observed? What is your main finding? What does it mean in the larger context?).
• How does your country compare to China or any neighbouring country of your choice?
• What do you think should be done to further reduce the DALY associated with the specific risk factor or the disease?
• Conclusion (What is the punchline?)
• References (5-10)
•  Appendix

How to pass this module
In order to pass this module, you need to:
 Ensure that you have fully met all the learning outcomes and tasks as detailed in this
Assignment Brief (if you do not meet one or more of the learning outcomes, you will
not be able to pass);
 Cover all the assessment criteria sufficiently;
 Submit all the work required by the given deadline;
 Submit a copy of your work through Turnitin.
Before you submit your coursework, we strongly recommended that you check to ensure you
have answered all of the tasks and that you have met all of the Learning Outcomes.
Word Count Limit
You must indicate the number of words you have used on the front page of your Assignment
Submission Sheet. When you calculate this you must include any quotations and footnotes
you have used but you do not need to count the Bibliography or any Appendices. If you go
more than 10% over or under the word count limit stated in the Assignment Brief you risk
losing marks as a 10% penalty applies.
The contents of your Bibliography and Appendices are not normally given a specific mark,
but they may contribute to your overall mark, for example, under the heading of “Structure,
style, language and presentation of work.” We therefore recommend that you only use
Appendices for supporting material and not for the substantial part of your work.
Plagiarism
As part of your study you will be involved in carrying out research and using this when
writing up your coursework. It is important that you correctly acknowledge someone else’s
writing or thoughts and that you do not attempt to pass this off as your own work. Doing so
is known as plagiarism. It is not acceptable to copy from another source without
acknowledging that it is someone else’s writing or thinking. This includes using paraphrasing
as well as direct quotations. You are expected to correctly cite and reference the works of
others. The Centre for Academic Writing provides documents to help you get this right. If
you are unsure, please visit www.coventry.ac.uk/caw.
Assessors are able to spot cases of plagiarism. The School insists that coursework is
submitted through a plagiarism detection system known as Turnitin. Copying another
student’s work, large sections from a book or the internet are examples of plagiarism and
carry serious consequences. Please familiarise yourself with the CU Harvard Reference
Style and use it correctly to avoid a case of plagiarism or cheating being brought. If you are
unsure please refer to your tutor.

After examining the painting, how does this painting reflect essential ideals and principles of Taoism? Some issues to consider

symbolically are: What can be seen in the foreground of the painting (Zoom in. Do you see a building?), and what “is” in the background? As

you view the painting, where does your eye “start” and where does it “end up?” What elements are emphasized in the painting and what is

deemphasized?

Describe Kohler’s “stick problem” and ”box problem”. Why were these problems important to learning
theorists? Answer: The problems illustrated problem solving processes in apes. Problem solutions
indicate cognitive processes important in learning. Problem solutions involved insight and not mere
trial and error learning.

 

Part 1( 2 page essay)
1. Assigned theorist- full name, birth/ death
2. family life information / University attended or conducted research at
3. What the theorist is most famous for in education
4. BASIC Outline of their theory
5. Two interesting facts about the person accomplishment

Part II

Think about how you might utilize these theories as an early childhood educator, or how you have seen them in different classrooms. Which theorist do

you think of when you see: Community field trips? Behavior charts? Policy handbooks? Small group collaborative projects? Classroom jobs? A teacher

As indicated in our materials, physical security is comprised of “structural security,” “electronic security systems,” and “the human element.” However,

we seem to be relying more and more on hot new technology to meet our security needs.

Write a two-page narrative outlining your perspectives on the question: “are we placing too much emphasis on advanced and emerging technologies to

address assets protection needs at the expense of lower-tech/lower-cost solutions?” In your paper, please include examples, references (with proper

citation) and facts/figures to back up your position.
