Describe Sugar substitutes and their chemistry in the human system, toxicity, and impact on weight loss.

One of the most important parts of science is dissemination of knowledge. If scientific research was not published most of the critical breakthroughs in science would never have happened. This has been true since the earliest records we have of written communication. Transfer of knowledge, critical assessment of data, and evaluation of different experimentation and relevant conclusions are keys to advancement of knowledge and fundamental to the development of new technologies.During the second half of the semester you will need to write a scholarly essay on a subject in chemistry. This essay can be one of the topics listed below or one of your own choosing on a subject in chemistry that is interesting to you. If you have your own topic, you will need to present the topic to your instructor for review and approval.In your paper you will need to research your subject, review current research that is being done…or has been done… (via scholarly papers), and present your findings and conclusions in a college level research paper presentation. The required writing style will be the standard ACS (American Chemical Society) style. You will need to look up what that means and make sure that your final paper adheres to the ACS style guidelines.Peer review is an important part of scientific papers. You will need to have one person review your paper and provide feedback to you on the content/topic, the readability and organization, and the strengths/weaknesses of your arguments. You should use this feedback to strengthen your paper before turning it in.You will need a minimum of 4 scholarly citations in your paper which support your data and suppositions. These can be citations from any format (paper publications, scientific articles, online publications, professional journals, etc.) and should not be opinion pieces in popular news feeds, magazines, or online social media sources/postings or other non-scholarly sites. These must be referenced correctly according to the ACS style guidelines. Please note that SSRN (ssrn.com) is a great site for scholarly papers with recent research. However there are a myriad of printed scientific journals and online scholarly resources that are available at the library or online so SSRN is only one of many places to find research papers and research publications.Your paper should be written at a college level adhering to correct spelling, punctuation, paragraph structure, and logical organization. It should be a minimum of four written pages (the bibliography with your citations do not count as part of your four pages), 0.7” margins on all sides, 1.5 line spacing, and 12 point font (preferably Times New Roman). Your paper must be submitted electronically in MS Word format using the submit button at the top of the page, then uploading the file at the bottom of the page, and clicking the submit button. You will also need to upload, on separate pages, peer reviews that you have been asked to provide. The page should have the title and author of the paper that you were asked to review (1 review per page if you review more than one) followed by your review of the paper. Remember that you are writing your review to the author of the paper and not to me. Your review should not be a sentence or two saying things like “this is a good paper, I liked it” or something similar. No paper is perfect so you should provide feedback to your peer about the layout meeting (or not meeting) the requirements, content of the paper, correct use of language (and suggestions to better phrase things if needed), organization of the subject and the supporting data/arguments, and the strength of any stance taken. Accuracy of information and attention to detail are very important. You will not submit the reviews for your own paper.The paper is worth 200 points and grading will be assigned from…1. …the quality of your research paper including spelling, grammar, sentence structure, correct use of appropriate language, adherence to requirements for layout/font/spacing, etc. This will be worth 20% of the grade for the paper.2. …the completeness of your research and presentation of your supporting data and information along with the appropriateness of your citations. This will be worth 30% of the score for the paper.3. …the layout and presentation of your arguments and supporting data in a logical and coherent manner with an appropriate opening, middle, and conclusion…or conclusions.

What do you think is the best course of action if a health care organization’s data is held for ransom?

Question 1View Video on Ransomware. What do you think is the best course of action if a health care organization’s data is held for ransom? Do a search on the Internet to locate any recent cases of data being held for ransom. What did the organization do? (Be sure to cite your sources and provide a link to the article) https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/audio-video/video/defend-against-ransomwarequestion 2The Harvard Business Review reported that researchers in Belgium and the United Kingdom have demonstrated that it is possible to transmit life-threatening, and possibly fatal, signals to implanted medical devices. The list includes devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators, and insulin pumps. Malware has also been found in software devices such as x-ray machines and blood gas analyzers. A nursing inventory supply system was also found to have a vulnerability that could negatively impact patient care and safety and provide back door access to the organization’s wider information system (https://hbr.org/2017/05/medical-systems-hacks-are-scary-but-medical-device-hacks-could-be-even-worse).Answer the following questions:1.One of the HCIC Task Force imperatives is to “increase the security and resilience of medical devices and health IT.” Who in a health care organization should be involved in this initiative?2.Another of the HCIC Task Force imperatives is to “increase health care industry readiness through improved cybersecurity awareness and education.” How would you, as a cybersecurity leader, achieve this imperative relative to your workforce and the threats posed in this case?3.The HIPAA Security Rule requires that the following be maintained regarding. ePHI: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. How would you rank these concepts in terms of which is at greatest risk when medical devices are infiltrated? Explain your rationale.4.Do you think that risks to patient safety OR information security are greater in this case?5.The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the relationship and connectivity between the Internet and everyday objects that contain computers that transmit and receive data. As described in this case, medical devices have become part of the IoT. In the interest of patient safety, do you think that medical devices should be removed from the IoT or would that represent a step backward in technological advancements?

Write 1 to 2 page essay on whether or not the issues discussed in the 1990 Nightline interview still exist in Erin Quill’s talk in 2016.

This class is learning Asian American Studies by watching movie.Please do 1 page for assignment 1 and 1 page for assignment 2.The Miss Saigon Controversy involved the successful British musical play, Miss Saigon, and its star Jonathan Pryce. Pryce was playing the Eurasian engineer in blatant yellow face i.e. taped eyes, yellow make-up. When the production prepared to come to New York and Broadway, Asian American actors and community members protested against the portrayal of a Caucasian as an Asian. They argued that the production violated open casting of Asian American actors for the role of the engineer. They also said that it was objectionable to have a white man depicting an Asian. The Executive Producer of the show, Cameron Mackintosh, claimed the protesters were interfering with artistic expression. In the end, Jonathan Pryce opened as the engineer in Miss Saigon. But since then Asian American actors have also played the engineer. Jon Jon Briones in particular is playing this pivotal role in the current revival of Miss Saigon on Broadway. But was this a victory? Some don’t think so, particularly Vietnamese Americans. They object to the story and the repugnant representation of the Vietnamese.ASSIGNMENT 1: Please view the Nightline interview and Erin Quill’s speech on diversity in the theatre.

Describe the experimental procedures completely.

Submitted lab reports should begin with the name of the course, instructor, an unambiguous informative title of the experiment (not just “lab 3”), date(s) the work was performed, date the report is submitted. This should be followed by a brief abstract which includes the purpose of theexperiment and enough of the methods to make clear that they are suitable for achieving the objectives.Introduction and hypothesis testing. Establish context by more completely describing the experiment. What question is being asked? Some experimental work is hypothesis-driven, but for students and at the early stages of a project, one undertakes an exploratory phase by making observations and looking for patterns. Try to formulate a hypothesis. If there is one, it should be stated and results should be interpreted in light of the hypothesis. Literature and internet references should be cited and listed in a separate section at the end of the report.Methods. Describe the experimental procedures completely. Parts of the Methods can be taken from distributed materials but additional details should be included. The methods should be clear enough so that a student could successfully repeat the experiment.Results. Observations, measurements, tables, plots (axes should be labeled), experimental data. Figures should be numbered and described in figure legends. Tables and figures should be referred to in the text of the report. Results should be understandable and data should be described and presented in complete sentences and paragraphs in the text, as well as in figures, tables, etc.Interpretation and Conclusions. A lab report should not end with Results. What do the results mean? Extensive interpretation is required, in a separate section. State whether the experiment “worked” and what it means for the experiment to have worked or not. Experiments lead to new experiments – what about in this case? If you continued working on the project, what would you do next?Source Material and References. Do use and cite references, including your lab manual, textbook and internet resources. Do not copy text from any source – that would be plagiarism. Do paraphrase; do not quote. Useful figures from internet sources can be downloaded and copied into your report, but always include the URL for the web page with the figure and in the references.NOTE: A lab report is a narrative – it should tell a story (i.e., not just be a list or bullet points!).
