Writing assignment on revised literacies

I need some assistance with these assignment. revised literacies Thank you in advance for the help!

But every media has its own merits and demrits. As a result, my audience will have a better understanding on remix.

After I attended the WRA 1004 course, my perspective experiences about writing and reading have been modified significantly. Before attending the class, I had no specific strategies like RAIDS and SWAP for my essay. I had no idea what my essay will look like. I do not have a clear arrangement or style in mind. I just wrote as it went. I did notice the drawbacks of remix media. And for reading, I just read the article, and may briefly talk about the main points.

After taking the class, I now understand to think before write, using RAIDS can easily help me to state my purpose clearly, and by using SWAP can help focus on my subject and my audience.

Indeed, I think some modern technology-based medias -such as PowerPoint presentation, any other presentation software, computer compose, etc- other than paper are quite effective in conveying ideas to the target audiences. Indeed the use of computer for writing is endowed with umbrella-conveniences. If literacy means a man’s ability to read and write, a computer can be used to a media of literacy which is far more convenient that write on a paper.

Now I believe the term “literacy” does not only mean one’s ability to read and write, but also it means one’s ability to use any technological devices also. Daley defines literacy as following:

Traditionally literacy has been commonly defined as the ability to read and write at an adequate level of proficiency that is necessary for communication. More recently however, literacy has taken on several meanings. Technological literacy, mathematical literacy, and visual literacy are just a few examples. (45)

It is because a computer not only allows a person to write but also allows him or her to access a wide range of reading materials.

Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on using of rtms and antidepressant drugs simultaneously to increase the therapeutic efficacy for patients with psychotic depression Paper must be at least 1000 words. Please, no plagiarized work!

Psychotic depression is a fairly common psychiatric condition that has been found to occur in nearly 20% of patients with major depression (Flores et al., 2006). The preferred treatment for psychotic depression so far has consisted of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) as also neuroleptic and electroconvulsive therapies (O’Neal et al., 2000). Patients with psychotic depression have a more severely disordered hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis (Kathol et al., 1989). The psychotic features of psychotic depression have been attributed also to excessive glucocorticoid activity (Schatzberg et al., 1985). Interestingly, HPA axis activity is, to a large extent, regulated by the combination of mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) and glucocorticoid receptors (GR) (Spencer et al.

, 1998. Young et al., 2003). Any mismatch between them could lead to inappropriate responses to stress, and incidence of major depression (Young et al., 2003). Decreases in MR sensitivity postulated to occur in major depression could result in elevated cortisol levels (Gesing et al., 2001. Young et al., 2003). In contrast, GR gives rise to feedback modifications in response to rising levels of cortisol as, for example, in response to stress or following the circadian rhythm. Hence, a GR antagonist e.g., the anti-progesterone steroid mifepristone (dimethylaminophenyl (17(-hydroxy-11(1(4-dimethylaminophenyl) 17(1- propynyl)estra-4,9-dien-3-one) exerts a powerful effect in the rising section of the HPA axis (Flores et al., 2006). A major effect of mifepristone occurs through obstruction of GR in crucial regions of the brain and in monaminergic nuclei, thereby, directly leading to recovery of symptomatic and cognitive faculties.

Write 8 pages thesis on the topic relationship between the traditional media and social media1332.

As the discussion declares most research on media has mainly focused on which of the two forms of media is the best to use while communicating, advertising, or marketing. However, today more emphases need put in identifying the best way in which both forms of media can be utilized to achieve even a much effective communication tool. With the popularity and the low cost of using social media it is obvious that social media would be the most preference means of communication.

According to the essay findings understanding the relationship between the traditional media and social media will give better insight on the role social media played in the green revaluation in the Arabic world.

Similarities between the two forms of media exceed the differences. The most common aspect between the two forms of media is the need to plan. Planning involves coming up with the right information, disseminating it to the right audience and producing the intended reaction. Secondly, planning also entails evaluating and employing the right and effective channels. Effectives in media, greatly relies on the simplicity and clarity of the message, as well as, the channel used to pass the message.

It is, therefore, important to learn what best suits your potential customer, before deciding the form of media to use. Similar to a good plan, the result achieved when using any of the two forms can be quantified.

Why Did the Caliphate Collapse during the Ninth and Tenth Centuries. The work is to be 8 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page.

/in /by

I will pay for the following article Why Did the Caliphate Collapse during the Ninth and Tenth Centuries. The work is to be 8 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page.

The significance that caliph had been huge, which led to the separation of Sunni faith and the establishment of Turkey. Sunni has since sustained avowedly professing the faith of Muhammad and it was one big blow upon another Islamic sect in Persia, this action is similar to the one that took place in the Roman Empire. Despite the presence of discernment present in Muhammad, he lacked insight into the leader who will succeed him after his death. Despite Muhammad’s effort in making caliph grow, he did not prepare Ummah for its continuation after his death.

The community did not believe Muhammad had passed away and did not know the person to take over and fill the role of Muhammad, Ali who was Muhammad’s son-in-law was recommended by some people to succeed Muhammad.The first successor after the death of Muhammad was Abu Bakr whose roles were more secular as compared to playing a religious role. Abu Bakr encountered cries that were based on the people’s psychology, religion, political and from other nations. He managed to make Islam a world force although, during his time, the Islam participated in Apostasy war, which was because of a dispute between Makkan emigrants and Ali Bakr’s supporters.

During the war, many people died including those who were recognised for the compiling of the Quran. Compiling the Quran was the biggest achievement of Abu Bakr as compared to other encounters such as the apostasy war. There was systematic employment of slave soldiers, which was one major innovation that characterised many Muslim regimes. Caliphate Umar gave people determination, especially in participating in the Jihad. hence, he wanted to continue conquests that were set by Abu Bakr, targeting the Persian Empire and the Byzantine.

Caliphate Umar took part in the Damascus conquest including the conquering of Saida. He was responsible for fixing many Islamic traditions including the Muslim calendar. Uthman succeeded Umar and he had both practical, intelligent military and political leadership style. Moreover, Uthuman faced opposition from other Muslims&nbsp.but he continued the wars of conquest despite the fact that there were many internal problems faced by his people.&nbsp.

Compose a 1500 words assignment on genetically modified crops. Needs to be plagiarism free!

Some have termed the genetically manipulated crops ‘frankenfoods’ and have questioned the potential harm to people and the environment that could come from their production. This discussion will answer these questions regarding the safety of these foods and present an overview of bioengineered foods.

Bioengineering food involves “splicing a gene from one organism, such as a bacterium, into a plant or animal to confer certain traits” (Muth et al, 2002). These traits, developed for agricultural crops such as corn, soybeans, canola and cotton include increasing nutrients, tolerance to herbicides and drought, resistance to fungus and insects and reduced spoilage.

Bioengineered corn and soybeans have become increasingly widespread among farmers during the last decade and the products can be commonly found in most grocery stores. Companies that engineer and produce bioengineered foods as well as manufacturers that choose to use these foods in their ingredients are faced with a stringent and ever-developing regulatory oversight by three government agencies. the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture), the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).

Which agency regulates a particular product is determined by the intended use of the crop. Very often, a product is regulated by multiple agencies. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, a division of the USDA monitors products and organisms that affect plants. Products and organisms derived from bioengineering methods introduced to or manufactured in the U.S. require USDA identification. This agency then determines if the item in question is a ‘regulated article’ or a possible disease.

Complete 10 pages APA formatted article: Critical review of a journal article.

In this regard, ecologists, environmentalists, and even business organizations are now carrying out researches and studies to benefit from the available resources of the planet efficiently. In other words, environmental management has now become a notion of survival for the organizations and even states globally that are now focusing primarily on opportunities that may bring environmental benefits that will be an alternative warfare and most importantly, dominating tool to rule the world in coming years.

This paper is a little attempt to discuss some of the aspects of environmental management while focusing mainly on a scholarly piece (MacLean, 2009) that will be the fundamental basis of this paper.

Richard MacLean (2009) is the author of a significant article, “Entering the Fourth Environmental Wave” (MacLean, 2009) in which, author has done a remarkable job by defining and discussing specific issues of environmental management while providing some solutions and implications that seem practical and beneficial theoretically.

In brief, the author (MacLean, 2009) began by defining that the world has been experiencing different periods of environmental alterations that occur in the form of waves. Presently, the world is confronting the fourth environmental wave that now requires business organizations to take a step forward in a strategic manner, in order to survive in this competitive era that will be involving huge efforts to acquire remaining natural resources globally.

After indicating beginning of the fourth wave, author (MacLean, 2009) specified that in order to acquire material benefits, business organizations will have to start thinking out of the box rather than following cluster of similar perspective, such as trade associations, conferences, etc.

submit a 1500 words paper on the topic Privacy Bounded with Surveillance and Security.

/in /by

Hi, need to submit a 1500 words paper on the topic Privacy Bounded with Surveillance and Security.

One should note that surveillance in different forms existed from the very dawn of civilization, when specially hired people collected information by listening to conversations, intercepting letters and watching people through small holes. It is quite obvious that nowadays the government has developed newer ways to perform surveillance. Indeed, at the present moment, the population is being tracked with the help of different devices. For example, the all expression “to blend in with the crowd” has almost lost its meaning as it is possible to track the route of a particular person when one is using public transportation.

Thus, the cards that people are using in the subway send data to the center where this information is accumulated and all this allows other people to reconstruct a daily route of a person. In other words, public transportation is no longer a means to travel secretly: it is being monitored by cameras and computers. In addition to that, driving a personal car also may not be considered to be a more private way of traveling. Thus, the development of technology contributed to the emergence of Automatic Number Plate Recognition systems which are able to identify the number plate of a car with great accuracy, regardless of the speed that the car is moving at (Lyon 2001, p. 18). Keeping in might that a lot of roads are equipped with this kind of system, one should note that all this forms a widely spread framework when the movement of a personal car is being closely monitored so a person can hardly go off the radar, so to speak.

What is more important, the iconic devices of the modern world, namely smartphones, may also be monitored by the government. There is a legal framework that requires providers of communication services to record personal conversations and store them. moreover, the subject whose conversations are recorded may not be notified. (Bryant 2014, p. 183). Finally, the most popular platform for social interaction nowadays, namely the Internet, is being watched by the government too. For example, service provides are able&nbsp.to collect information about the websites a person visited and one’s search inquires so that this data would later be handed to the government.

What motivates you? You are faced with situations every day where you have to make choices, and there is a deep reason that compels you to do so.

/in /by

If you mow the lawn, I’ll give you twenty bucks. How about for five dollars, or even two bucks—would you do it? Would you mow the neighbor’s lawn for free out of the goodness of your heart, or only if Mom told you to do it? Okay, now think about this: if you memorize a list of fifteen countries, you’re guaranteed to get 100% on your next history quiz. Will you memorize that list? If you finish your homework by 8 p.m., you can watch TV . . . but it can only be the news. Do you care enough to complete your studies by then? If you pass driver’s education, you can get a learner’s permit to drive. Will you show up for class? If you arrive to class on time, you don’t get marked tardy. Are you on time, even after lunch is over? If you eat broccoli, even though you hate the taste, you’ll get lots of nutrients in your body. Do you eat that vegetable? If you drink milk, your bones will be stronger. Do you drink milk or instead have a soda pop? If you buy rollerblades, you won’t have money to buy your sister a birthday gift. Do you make the purchase for yourself or save your pennies for her?

Why do you do the things you do?

OBJECTIVES

  • Write responses to assess your motivations in different situations.
Directions

What motivates you? You are faced with situations every day where you have to make choices, and there is a deep reason that compels you to do so. Some choices are just matter-of-fact, such as showing up to school. It’s the law. Being motivated to go to school could simply come from the desire to not have a visit from the truancy officer, or it could be that your family really values learning. But other choices—like what you wear or how you talk—have motivating influences. Do you want to talk cool or be popular, so you use slang? Do you do a good job on your English essay because you want a good grade, or do you simply love to write and you enjoy putting effort into your hobby? There are so many motivating forces: acceptance, respect, and competency (being able to do a good job), to name a few. Some people are motivated by having power, influence, or control.

Your task is to take some time to reflect on the questions presented below and write responses to each question. Place all of your responses in one paper, and you can number the questions on your paper along the way. By the time you finish writing your responses, you should have a better idea of what motivates you to do and act certain ways. This knowledge is useful if you decide you ever want to change your reason for doing something or the attitude behind it.

Questions
  • What activities do you do a lot because you enjoy them? What makes the activities enjoyable, and do you get anything out of the experience?
  • What activities do you do a lot that you don’t enjoy? (These might be chores or responsibilities you can’t get out of.) Why do you still do them? How do you motivate yourself to get through it?
  • Why do some hobbies appeal to you but others don’t?
  • Which school subjects do you find fascinating to learn about and which ones bore you? Are there any subjects that make you feel some anxiety to learn about or electives you try to get out of taking? What is it about these subjects that motivate you to do well or avoid them?
  • What kind of grades do you get in your classes? Do you put in the maximum or minimum effort? Why do you do it that way? Are there expectations you perceive and what are they?
  • How do you reward yourself for doing something hard?
  • What inspires you to do a good job?
  • How do you like people to reward you?
