What forms of technology can be used to reduce hunger and improve food security?

The members of the United Nations found great value in the analysis you provided on the effects of global warming that result from population growth. They are now asking you write an additional analysis to include further issues related to population growth. Here is the issue they have asked you to consider: The member states of the United Nations seek to build food systems that can provide global food security which will feed everyone, everywhere, every day by improving food quality though the promotion of effective and nutritional agricultural practices. The crucial issue is not the lack of food in the world but the access to that food. In many developing countries, food shortages are due to governmental control over food distribution. These governments maintain control of the population and their power by limiting access to nutritious food to certain groups. In this practice, they thereby “weaponize” food. Your second project as a consultant for the United Nations is to develop an analysis that addresses three issues related to global food insecurity caused by global population growth and poverty, and to explore these issues in a developing country of your choosing. The UN has given you the following guidelines. Content The UN has asked that your paper contain three sections. Each section should be one page (or approximately 300 words) in length and answer specific questions, identified in the outline below. It also asks that you use examples from your developing country when answering the questions. Introduction Provide an introduction of half a page minimum that addresses points a-e below. Explains the problem the UN has asked you to address in your own words; Identifies the three sections your paper will cover; Identifies the developing country you will consider; Tells the UN the causes of food insecurity; and Provides a one-sentence statement of your solutions at the end of your introduction paragraph. Section I. Background What is food insecurity? What role does population growth play in food security? Section II. Technologies That Can Reduce Hunger and Improve Food Security What forms of technology can be used to reduce hunger and improve food security? How would these technological solutions work? What causes of food insecurity do these technologies address? Section III. Specific Factors in Chosen Developing Country Considering the causes of food insecurity, what factors interrupt the flow of food from the source to the people in the developing country you selected?             Conclusion Provide a conclusion of half a page minimum that includes a summary of your findings that the United Nations can use to inform future policy decisions. Success Tips In answering each question, use examples from your developing country to illustrate your points. The UN needs facts and objective analysis on which to base future policy decisions; avoid personal opinion and make sure your answers are based on information you find through research. Formatting Requirements Make sure your paper consists of four to six pages of content (or 1,200 words minimum, not including the cover or reference pages). Create headings for each section of your paper as follows: Section I. Background Section II. Technologies That Can Reduce Hunger and Improve Food Security Section III. Specific Factors in Chosen Developing Country Use and cite at least five credible sources in your research. A list of potential resources is available below. Make sure your paper contains both in-text citations and a source list, per SWS guidelines: Refer to the Strayer Writing Standards (SWS) document for reference. Include a cover page with your name, the country you selected, the date you submitted the paper, and your instructor’s name. Potential Sources Peter Timmer. May/June 2015.

Write an essay analyzing the rhetorical components of speeches.

Develop this like any other comparison/contrast essay you would write for a class: it should have at least four paragraphs (introduction with a hook and a thesis, at least two body points with topic sentences and transitions, and a conclusion with a review and a final statement).  You should have parenthetical citations for your quotations and a works cited page at the end (preferably APA, but you can do MLA for this one).  I think most students will try one of two formats: 1) You set up a four paragraph essay that has an intro paragraph, the first point is about one speech, the second point is about another speech, and then you conclude, or 2) you set up a four to five paragraph essay centered around theoretical concepts that has an intro paragraph, a first point that looks at Ethos in both speeches, second point looks at Pathos in both speeches, and a third point that looks at Logos in both speeches.  You don’t have to use Ethos, Pathos, and Logos if you don’t want to, you can use any theoretical lens provided in the textbook.  Please, please, please do a spell/grammar check before you turn it in. Please look at 2 or more speeches (one from the DNC and one from the RNC) and do a 2 page (500 word) comparative analysis between the speakers.  The analysis will include quotations and concepts from the textbook and lecture (i.e. context, speaker, message, channel, receiver, Ethos, Pathos, Logos, etc.).  Please have parenthetical citations and a properly formatted works cited page. Some links (but you can choose others–if you choose speeches less than 15 minutes long, please watch three!

What does the author mean by “features” of the spike protein? “in the proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2-discussion.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9 Read the article and then create 5 questions, the questions will be graded on creativity, originality, and thoughtfulness. Here are examples of a bad question, an okay question, and a great question.  Great question:  “How does manipulating the transmission rate affect the evolution of virulence in a horizontally transmitted pathogen?”  Bad:  ” Why is this the shortest paper I have ever read?”  okay question:  “I’m not sure what is going on with Figure 1.
