Urinalysis Report (50 points) Report Due Date: October 18 at 11:59 PM Submit the report on Blackboard at Testing and Submission Center folder Urine Analysis of urine composition and properties is often used to evaluate the function of the kidneys and other organs. This procedure is called urinalysis. A urinalysis involves three aspects: physical characteristics, chemical analysis, and microscopic examination. Physical characteristics of urine include volume, color, transparency, and odor. The chemical analysis of urine addresses the concentration of solutes such as glucose, protein, ketones, bilirubin, urobilinogen, nitrite, leukocyte esterase and hemoglobin. The specific gravity and pH of urine are greatly influenced by the components and amounts of solutes. An examination of microscopic solids including cells, casts and crystals assists in the diagnosis of injury, various diseases, and urinary infection. This report should be considered a professional laboratory report, so avoid using idioms or layperson language in your report. Be creative and tell what you want to say in a clear and precise manner. You may start with a short introduction, but do not spend too much on the introduction, and try to focus on the actual assays in your report. If your statements are inaccurate or unclear, you will lose points. How many points you may ask? The answer depends on the inaccuracy of statement. I will evaluate each case separately when I am grading your report. There is NO specific format for the laboratory report; however, the report must include the description of every chemical assay in the routine urinalysis including the confirmatory assays. Provide a BRIEF description of each test and its limitations. Indicate what abnormal

results may suggest and whether there are any interfering substances which may mislead the investigators. Discuss how each assay may reflect a patients health conditions. You will lose points for weak diction and grammar, so make sure to review and edit your final report before submission. Once submitted, you cannot retract the report and will be graded accordingly. The report should not exceed maximum of 5 pages (not including the title page and references).
For your report, the reference list should appear immediately following the report text (beginning on a new page; not included in 5-page maximum). References should contain complete titles and inclusive page numbers and should be numbered in chronological order as they appear in the manuscript. module 2.

Summary
Your final report (50 points) needs to include the description of every chemical assay in the routine urinalysis which includes the confirmatory assays.

Topic 3 Philosophy and religion In his work, Miracles, C.S. Lewis argues for the rationality of belief in some miracles. After reading this work, write an essay consisting of two main parts. The first part (between 500 and 750 words) should be devoted to answering these questions: what is the difference between Lewis Supernaturalist view and the Naturalist view? Why does he think the Supernaturalist position is better? And how does he use the distinction between these two views to defend the possibility and probability of some miracles? The second part of the essay (between 750 to 1000 words) should be devoted to either defending or arguing against Lewis position. In order to be considered acceptable, your essay must incorporate at least two (ideally three to four) other academic sources in addition to the Miracles.
