In this forum you will share your position to the ethical problem of Euthanasia. After you watch this video, answer these questions.

1-Why should Euthanasia be allowed or NOT allowed?

2-Pick one theory you have learned in class and tell HOW this theory back you up in accepting or rejecting Euthanasia.

    

Throughout the course we have addressed many issues with regards to passenger transportation. Your project should focus on a topic related to environmental justice (EJ) and passenger transporta- tion that is of personal interest. According to FHWA, there are three fundamental environmental justice principles: 

• To avoid, minimize, or mitigate disproportionately high and adverse human health and environ- mental effects, including social and economic effects, on minority populations and low-income populations.
   
• To ensure the full and fair participation by all potentially affected communities in the trans- portation decision-making process.
   
• To prevent the denial of, reduction in, or significant delay in the receipt of benefits by minority and low-income populations.
  This report is two parts: (1) explore the definitions and metrics which define if a project is equitable and/or follows environmental justice (EJ) principles and (2) look at a case study (or project) in depth and determine if the project follows environmental justice principles.
  Part I
  This section of the report and presentation is to explore how environmental justice and transportation equity defined. Some questions which you should answer are:
   
• How is equity measured / defined?
   
• What performance measures are used to determine if a project follows environment justice
  principles?
   
• What is an Environmental Impact Statement?
   
• Why is public engagement important?
   
• Based on your research, how do you feel Baltimore is doing from an environmental justice
  perspective?
  Part II
  You are expected to select one case to study. This case can be an example of either a transportation project done well or poorly from an EJ framework (you must specify which category it is). For example, you could look at how building the interstate system affected a particular city or town such as Overton in Miami, FL as discussed in the Divided Highways documentary. Describe how the project fits in the EJ framework. In addition, relate the case study to topics discussed in class such as transportation system components and key points. Lastly, discuss the importance of the public outreach process in transportation. Did the case engage in public outreach?
  Report & Presentation
  The report is worth 60% of your grade and the presentation 40%.
  Your presentation should be limited to 10 minutes and focus on Part II, your case study. PowerPoint or some other visual presentation is expected. Presentations will be given in class March 25 & 27. The order of presentations will be randomly chosen and posted to Blackboard. However out of fairness all presentations must be uploaded to Blackboard by March 25 by 10:00 am. Papers are due March 27 by 11:59 pm. Case study topics are due March
   

 

TRSS 301: Case #1 1 of 2 

  

Morgan State University Chavis · Spring 2019 

 

13. Post your topic to blackboard using the link in the Case Study 1 folder which can be found under assignments. Early submission of case study topic is encouraged because duplicate topics are NOT allowed. A list of submitted topics may be found here. 

Your report must be well written. The report should be limited to 5-pages double spaced (not counting references and any cover sheets). Proper citation is required. In-text citations and a bibliography is required. For more information about citations, see the following link: https: //owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/. Please use APA or MLA citation format. You must have some scholarly references. Use Google Scholar or trid.trb.org to find scholarly articles. You should have at least two references for your case study – information should not come from just one source.

More information about environmental justice issues and sample case studies can be found at the links below. Note: these are just example case studies. Though you may use them, I prefer if you take some time to explore other sources to find other examples of cases. 

  

Paget Disease Research Paper or PowerPoint Presentation

Required details need to be placed in logical order.

1. Introduction – explain to the reader what you are going to be presenting.

2. Pathology

a. Explain in detail

b. Adequate research/Show knowledge of topic

3. Describe the routine or trauma x-ray positions that would be performed to demonstrate your pathology.

a. How you positioned the patient for the exams (Upright, supine, oblique, etc.)

b. Be sure to include any special films or positions/projections

c. Materials used during the exam if it includes trauma positions

d. Technical factors used (kVp, mAs, SID)

4. Related tests

a. Tests that were done to correlate diagnosis

b. Further tests that might be needed (CT, MRI, Ultrasound, etc.)

5. Prognosis

a. Follow up care (Surgery, Physical Therapy, etc.)

6. Conclusion

a. Highlights the entire paper. No new information is included in the conclusion. 

b. Refer back to the introduction so that the reader knows that what you said you were presenting was presented.

Your paper or PowerPoint Presentation must be in APA format

· Use quotes where appropriate

· In text citations for all information

· Reference page with at least 3 references (1 peer-reviewed article)

Images

Along with your written paper you also need to include x-ray images that demonstrate your pathology. This can be attached at the end of your paper in a Word document or PowerPoint.

During this week you will work in the discussion area to identify a research question created in Week 1 that would utilize a During this week you will work in the discussion area to identify a research question created in Week 1 that would utilize a dependent-samples t test or repeated-measures ANOVA. This discussion will help you work towards your “Week 3 Assignment.” If there are no research questions that fit these types of statistical analyses, you will need to decide on a new question before moving forward with the assignment.

In your initial posting for this assignment, include the following:

• Identify an appropriate research question that would require the use of a dependent-samples t test or repeated measures ANOVA to answer. Pick the question from the list created in Week 1 or identify a new question if there are no appropriate ones from Week 1.
• Describe why this question is appropriate for the selected statistical test.
• Identify the variables in this study and each of their attributes: discrete or continuous, quantitative or categorical, and scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio).
• Do the variables fit the qualifications for the selected statistical test? Explain.
• List the statistical notation and written explanation for the null and alternative hypotheses.
• Describe the types of errors that could occur.. This discussion will help you work towards your “Week 3 Assignment.” If there are no research questions that fit these types of statistical analyses, you will need to decide on a new question before moving forward with the assignment.
