Describe shell’s sky scenario future supply.

As we discussed early in the semester the current calculations of energy supply by source in the U.S. include the following: Coal – 28%; Natural Gas – 35%; Oil for transportation – 92%; Nuclear – 19%; Hydropower – 7%; Wind – 6.5%; Solar – 1.5%; Biomass – 1.4%; Geothermal – 0.4%; Hydrogen – 0%. As you consider the implications of global supply and demand for energy supplies and the messages inherent in the Shell SKY Scenario, what percentages of supply from these same sources would you anticipate as appropriate and doable by the end of the scope of this course, i.e. 2070? Please explain your rationale for your conclusions.- work cited page at the endShell’s sky scenario:https://www.shell.com/energy-and-innovation/the-energy-future/scenarios/shell-scenario-sky.html

Explain, in your own words, why Jordan’s brother appears to have the same disease and why his sisters are unaffected.

Question 1Jordan is now 19-years old. As an infant, Jordan reached many gross motor skill milestones, such as holding his head up, rolling over, sitting, and standing, at normal times. However, he was considered a “late walker” because he took his first steps at 17 months. By 2 years old, his parents noticed a hyperlordotic posture while he was standing. A Gower’s sign and Trendelenberg gait were noted by age four. Throughout his childhood, he suffered progressive muscle weakness, especially in the proximal musculature of the arms, pelvis, and legs. He required orthotic braces to assist his walking and was confined to wheelchair ambulation by age 13. At 16, he was hospitalized with bronchitis requiring antibiotic treatment, but recovered. Jordan has a history of progressive muscle weakness, but no history of muscle pain or spasm, chest pain, or irregular heartbeat. The only medications that he normally takes are calcium and fluoride supplements. Jordan has three siblings. His older and younger sisters have never had any major medical issues. Jordan’s older brother is also to a wheelchair with problems similar to Jordan’s. No other immediate or distant family members have musculoskeletal issues. Jordan’s history aligns most closely with which diagnosis? Duchenne muscular dystrophy Multiple sclerosis Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Myotonic dystrophyQuestion 2 Jordan had a biopsy of the left gastrocnemius muscle when he was 5 years old. Based on your answer for his diagnosis, describe the microscopic pathological changes that the pathologist would have noted in her report.Question 3 Explain, in your own words, why Jordan’s brother appears to have the same disease and why his sisters are unaffected.Question 4Jordan’s calves appear enlarged. Which of the following statements explains this phenomenon? As his muscle degenerate, calcium replaces the water in the muscle cells. As Jordan ages, the neuromuscular junction loses its neurotransmitters.Jordan’s muscle cells are experiencing calcification because the actin and myosin filaments are no longer able to release from each other.As his muscles degenerate, the muscle tissue is replaced by collagen and adipose tissue.Question 5 Jordan displayed Gower’s sign at a young age. Which of the following statements explains why this this true? His neuromuscular junctions were interrupting the signals to contract his muscles.The weakness of his proximal leg muscles and erector spinae muscles force Jordan to use his arms to push on the floor.The chronic contractures in Jordan’s lower legs cause him to be reliant on his upper body for strength.Jordan’s quadriceps and gluteus maximus are in spasm, which causes him to fall to his knees when trying to stand.Question 6 Weakness in his erector spinae muscles forces Jordan to assume which exaggerated position when standing? Cervical hyperlordosis Thoracic hyperkyphosis Scoliosis Lumbar hyperlordosisQuestion 7 In your own words, please explain why Jordan must take calcium supplements for the rest of his life. (Hint: Think about your prior material and Wolff’s law.)Question 8Jordan is prone to respiratory infections, in part because of the weakness of which muscles? Pectoralis major and pectoralis minor Hyoid muscles Diaphragm and abdominal wall musclesSerratus anterior and scalene musclesQuestion 9Genetic testing would reveal that Jordan has a y-linked disorder.TrueFalseQuestion 10 In your own words, briefly describe the role of dystrophin within the motor unit.Question 11 Colette has been experiencing some muscle pain and soreness after workouts this last week. She decides to research how muscles work because she wants to find ways to help alleviate her pain. She is hoping to find out the names of the muscles that are aching and find ways to stretch and strengthen them. Answer the following questions to help her find the answers she is looking for. Colette has been sore “all over,” but her primary area of concern is the posterior right thigh. Which of the following muscles could be causing the soreness in this region? Biceps femoris Peroneus longus Rectus femoris Vastus lateralisQuestion 12 Colette has played softball for over 20 years and has been told in the past that she may have a rotator cuff injury. Which of the following rotator cuff muscles is on the anterior aspect of the scapula? Subscapularis Infraspinatus Teres minor SupraspinatusQuestion 13 Colette is trying to understand what causes her occasional calf muscle cramps. Which of the following statements is true regarding cramps? Cramps are caused by a sedentary lifestyle. Cramps are caused by excess calcium and ATP. Cramps are voluntary, continuous contractions of sarcomeres. Cramps are thought to be caused by hyperexcitiability of the motor neuron.Question 14According to the sliding filament theory, myosin filaments slide past actin filaments during contraction of a muscle because the myosin heads bind to the sarcolemma.TrueFalseQuestion 15Which of the following statements is true regarding muscle contraction? When a muscle contracts, the A-band shortens. When a muscle contracts, the H-zone becomes narrower (shortens). When a muscle contracts, the lighter I-band becomes wider. When a muscle contracts, the sarcomere remains the same size.Question 16 Colette is having trouble understanding the role of fascia within the musculoskeletal system. Explain, in your own words, how fascia is related to the muscles of the human body.Question 17 Colette is finding that studies about the benefits of stretching have mixed results. However, stretching can improve flexibility, which is a priority for her. Which of the following statements is true?Stretching weakens the ability of actin and myosin binding process. Static stretching has been shown to reduce soreness and increase athletic performance. Stretching increases blood flow to the muscle being stretched. Stretching increases the risk of injury in adolescent and elderly patients.Question 18 In your own words, describe how acetylcholine, calcium, and ATP are involved in the process of muscle contraction.Question 19 While Colette is researching weight lifting techniques, she finds contradictory information about the “best” way to build muscle. Which of the following statements is true of skeletal muscle? Slow oxidative fibers have a low myoglobin content and are used for explosive muscle movements,like sprinting. Anaerobic exercise depends on oxygen.The speed of muscle contraction is not dependent on how fast the myosin heads split ATP. Fast glycolytic fibers are used for actions like weightlifting, fatigue very quickly, and have very little myoglobin content.Question 20 Muscle relaxation occurs when acetylcholine is cleaved from its receptors, calcium is pulled back inot the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the myosin is released from its binding site, and the muscle fiber returns to its resting length. True False

Discuss changes in Christianity through the early Enlightenment, the 19th century, and World War.

.1. Christianity and CultureThe Christian message is supposedly a timeless, universal one—it promises salvation to all people across time and space. At the same time, as circumstances change, the message is translated for peace and war, and translated into new languages for new cultures, changing in unexpected ways. We have already seen some key, stable elements of some Christian groups, such as a reverence for the Bible, tradition, or leaders like the Pope. We have also seen examples of changes in Christianity through the early Enlightenment, the 19th century, and World War. Which aspect of Christianity is more important, convincing, or prominent to you—the unchanging message or the cultural chameleon?2. ModernityWe can define modernity as the emphasis on the common individual’s capacity for reason and free will. Christianity gave rise to modernity by pointing to the internal psychology of the individual as the ultimate judge of truth and authenticity. At the same time, parts of the Christian message also resist modern assumptions—some forms of Christianity see individuals as simply small parts of a larger entity or plan, or they argue that the human will is bound and that human reason is corrupt. Which aspect of Christianity’s relationship to modernity seems more important, convincing, or prominent to you—the supporter of modernity or its opponent?3. PoliticsChristian ideas have been used both to shore up the authority of the powerful and to inspire radical changes on behalf of the poor and marginal. Christians have intervened on both sides in conflicts between imperial nations and their colonies or between local elites and grassroots actors. Christianity can thus be portrayed as either an oppressive force or a liberating one. Which aspect of Christianity seems more important, convincing, or prominent to you? Feel free to talk about these dynamics between different countries, within individual countries, or both.4. GenderChristians have restricted, controlled, and even persecuted women in various ways. At the same time, women have often outnumbered men in Christian congregations. Often, an individual Christian woman may find herself simultaneously empowered and limited by Christian hierarchy, institutions, and ideology. Which aspect of Christianity seems more important, common, or prominent to you—is it a force for recognizing women’s full humanity and equality or a repressive system that continues to promote female submission?

Write an essay describing the Whistle-blowers.

.Whistleblowers are people who expose wrongdoing in government and business. They may investigate issues or practices as outsiders or operate from within organizations or industries as employees.Whistleblowers who approach their subject from the outside include journalists such as Upton Sinclair. In the early twentieth century, he wrote a novel, The Jungle, which exposed some of the filthy conditions and practices of the meatpacking industry. Scientist, activist, and author Rachel Carson wrote a book in the 1960s, Silent Spring, about the dangerous side effects of the pesticide DDT. Such writers are often called muckrakers since they figuratively dive into the mud and reveal the dirty sid e of established business practices.Other whistleblowers are insiders who work for a government agency or a corporation and have access to its secrets. They may be horrified by what they see and feel compelled to speak out to a journalist, an investigative agency, or even Congress.While whistleblowers may be treated as heroes, many are uncomfortable with revealing the truth. They may respect their employers and want them to succeed, but feel that the business or government is actually hurting itself by breaking some law or engaging in unethical behavior. Many whistleblowers are considered renegades or even traitors, and they may suffer both legally and in terms of their reputations.
